Possibility That Some Action May Be Taken
This Afternoon or Tomorrow.
THE QUESTION OF A CONVENTION.
II Is Not Who IIy improbable That The People May
Be Asked 10 Decide Whether or MOI
One Shat Be Held.

The statement made I'm certain SeN s.
papers TO the effect that at confer
ence of prominent Republicans it had
been decided to report back TO the Gen
eral Assembly. with practically no
change, the revision TO the state con-
stitution which failed of passage last
November. is to say the least, prema-
ture, for, as a matter of fact, no de-
cision upon the question of constitu-
tional revision has yet been reached
The joint special committee TO whom
was referred all matters i'm relation to
constitutional questions has not ar
rived at a definite conclusion, and until
IL does so IL cannot, of course, prepare
any report. This committee may do
something this afternoon or tomorrow,
for while the General Assembly will
enjoy a holiday tomorrow, there is
nothing 60 prevent the special COM
mittee meeting. II is stated that some
OF the gentlemen interested claim that
the draft submitted To the people in
November last received the sanction
of very much more than majority; in
fact, the voters within 1000 or SO Of
three-tifths of their entire number ap-
proved the document. In view OF this,
il was felt that enough additional sup
port could be secured to insure the ad
option Of the proposed instrument
But there are others who do not coin
eide in these views. and thus a more or
less prolonged conference will have to
be held i'm order TO arrive at a satisfac-
tory conclusion. and when this is done
a report will be made, but there is moth
ing az present which indicates what the
report will be. 1t is suggested that there
is even "a probability that the commit
tee may recommend submitting 10 the
people the question, shall there be a
constitutional convention" but all this
so far is guesswork.
one thing now is certain and that is
that there will he no recess taken this
week. Probably week from next Fri
day the business of the General Assem-
bly, will be far enough advanced TO per-
NIT of a recess being taken until after
the spring election in April. The cleo
tion of "A justice of the supreme court

of Hon. Benjamin NJ. Bosworth will oc-

That Horse Was Unsafe.
She is Suing the Town Of Westerly For
$4,000 For Personal Injuries.

The case of Helen NJ. Stone against
the town OF Westerly was given TO the
jury in Judge Wllbur's court this after
noon. The counsel for the defendant in
troduced considerable testimony in an
effort to prove. that the horse which ran
away and caused the plaintiffs injuries
was a horse that was not particularly
safe TO drive along a busy highway.
One witness was asked If he had
handled horses considerably and his
answer was II have seen several"
What | asked" said counsel. was
have you handled horses considera-
bly?"
The witness replied: Eyes. several"
A horse belonging 10 the livery stable
keeper who let the trap Mrs. Stone was
riding in was very particularly inquir-
ed about of several witnesses. Though
the animal was named Colonel II was
given a very bad name. 1t vas found
afterwards that the horse the reputa-
tion OF which had been sworn against,
was not the horse that was attached
To the trap.
One motorrnan who saw the horse at
tached to the trap said he had seen IN
before the day of the accident jump up
when an electric car came in sight. Ii
was proved that this horse was the
Colonel and consequently that the mo-
torman was mistaken.
Mr.. Walsh the livery stable keeper,
when called in rebutta admitted he
had a poor opinion of women as man
ayers OF horses and on this account he
said he had driven with the plaintiff
and her friends from Westerly to
Watch Hill the day of the accident
Mrs. Stone claims the leaving OF some
white beach sand on the highway was
responsible for the horse running away
and going over the embankment. She
was very severely hurt by falling over
the embankment.
