ed said It, was substantially true Tho
nail association. he sale, had lived much
longer than It's most sanguine pro-
moters expected and as financial un-
dertaking had been an unprecedented
success. Its present abandonment. he
said. Is not due to any conditions in the
organization or to any internal differ

the large growth OF outside competition
which has sprung up within the past
few months.

business longer to continue n policy"
he said. (which is Increasing competl-

the most monstrous known In history;

CRANSTON.
An Inebriate Who Didn't Want 10 Be
Given Away.


An intelligent looking well,dressed man
enjoyed a sleep in one of the cells of the
Cranston lookup last night. Simon Facto
is the name the man gave to Chief Big bee
as the latter turned the key in the iron
door, this morn ng and received fine.
AS Simon entered a handsome carriage in
which some Of his friends had come for
him he whispered to the chief, "Don't
tell them that you saw me-" He was
arrested on Cranston street by officer
Smith The man was dead drunk when
arrested.
In yester days NEWS was an article
headed "Buried River" The piece tells
OF an underground river that flows from
the White Mountains, emptyi ug into the
ses near Hazards ledge. Many people in
Cranston have long believed in the ex-
istence of this river. 1t flows beneath
the surface Of Cranston at depth of about
100 feet. 1t enters Cranston under the
Arlington ledge, runs under West Airing
ton, Auburn, Pawtuzet and thence into
Warwick. When the question of estRb-
fishing a water works for the town was
discussed those who believed this under
ground river 10 exist advocated the APP
propriation ,f money to conduct tests In
search OF the river. Too many smiled at
what they called q dream. About six
months ago a well was bored on the estate
OF Mrs. Maggie Reed of West Arlington.
At depth OF 100 feet an inexhaust-
ible flow of cold, clear water
was struck. A large pump was
fastened to the pipe and worked contin-
uously during The day or two weeks, but
the longer the well was pumped the larger
was the flow OF water. 1t is believed that
this well taps the underground river.
the existence OF which has been proven
by the research OF Professor Denton Of
SO onerville, Mass.
Crsnston would have little trouble In
securing an abundant supply Of cold,
clear, purs water by tapping this river in
different places In its course under the
town.
