tomary rule of advancing q substitute II
the latter proved his fitness and a chance
presented itself 10 do SO
AS substitute O'Neill could not get
more than 81 a day and as a permanent
man he would have 81 per diem.
O'Neifs name would assuredly remain
on the pay roll as a permanent member
OF the protective committee. The next
pay day would be December 18th. when
the board would know just what the
protective association intended to do.
II was suggested that the city OF Provi-
dence was under no obligations TO fur
and care for the protective wagon and
the other seven men.
In reply Mr.. Arnold says that II the as
socistion cannot work under Its char
tered rights, ~ he construes them. and
the oompany's services are dispensed
with. the insurance rates will have 10 be
increased and the public will have to bear
the brunt OF ths,discontinuance.
Mr.. Luther cannot see why the board
should waive rights conferred upon them
by law, or why they should neglect TO
perform duties bg law required.
IT was a very simple matter, as no
looked at IL. The protective association
had appointed a man OF their own choice,
the board lad advanced him and Mr.. Ar
mold was not ready TO pay him as a per-
manent man. for the reason that he had
said that he wasn't accustomed 10 change
his mind. The public could judge who
was in the right and who was in the
wrong.

A BROKEN HEART.
Broodlng Over Loss Of wife
and Child Caused PheIan's
Fatal Illness.

Jersey City, Dec. 1o.--Georgc ID. Phelan,
% years old, died yesterday morning at
the home of his father-in-law, Otto
Stumpp, No. e1s Hackensack plank road,
West Hoboken
from consumption, but his friends say he
died of broken heart caused by grief
over the death of his wife and child.
Even DIR. Edward Armstrong, the ply
sician who attended him. admits that ths
young mans end was FASTENED by con-
stant brooding over his misfortune.
A little more than two years ago Mr.
Phelan and Miss Rebecca stumpp were
married. They were a happy couple.
Sunshine was in everything for them. ana
the birth of daughter In December 1929.
seemed to complete their bliss.
Their happiness was but short-lived,
however. In January Mrs. Phelan was
taken sick and after few days illness
died. The shock affected Mr.. Phelan
greatly. He became morose and unable
to attend 10 his business.
A few weeks later he sold his dry goods
store on Central avenue ard turned his
whole attention TO lavishins Affection on

MR.. ARNOLD NEVER
CHANGES HIS MIND.
That Seems to Be Reason for Eric
tiOn Between Fire Commissioners
and Protective Association.

The controversy between the Board OF
Fire Commissioners and Mr.. Fred w. Ar
mold, treasurer OF the Providence Protec-
tive Association, remains just where II
did last Saturday.
The board insist that their appointment
of James e. O'Neil. as a permanent MEM
ber shall stand. and Mr.. Arnold asserts
that he will not pay him as such; but Is
willing TO have his name remain upon
the pay roll Of the protective company az
a substitute.
Mr.. Arnold knows nothing derogstory
TO O'Neil's character. For all he knows,
o'NeiI may have wings; that 10 70 say.
he may have all the prerequisites OF an
angel
lie admits that ONeil was appointed ss
a substitute by the protective association
management that he was not the choice
OF the fire commissioners, and that O'Neil
served satisfactorily ia that caps rity for
four weeks and had proved himself wor-
thy OF promotion.
The fact was that he had said that he
would not pay O'Neil as a permanent
man. and as he never yet went back on
his word. no did not propose 10 do so In
this instance.

is Appointed.

Once again the scheme 10 unite the
Manufacturing jewelers. Beard of Trade.
which is composed OF manufacturers OF
thN city and the Attlsboros, with the
jewelers. Association OF New York, has
come TO the front, and some of the men,
bers OF the local organization look up
on IT with favor.
This matter has been talked OF for
some time. and every once In while
the matter Is brought up for discussion,
but the Rhode Island men. who compose
q large majority OF the local associatio
are conservative TO a degree and are
chary OF making any alliances without
carefully considering every detail OF the
scheme.
The local organization is composed of
about 80 members. while the New York
association has about s75. mostly jobbers
and retailers, and the argument is made
by the advocates OF the scheme that the
Providence and Attieboro men would gain
by making the alliance. as they could
work In union. ana In cases OF failures
but one set OF lawyers would be required.
SOME CONFLICTING INTERESTS.
According 20 n. gentlemen who is thor
oughly acquainted with all matters ap-
pertaining TO the manufacturing tewelry
industry here. the chief objection to the
proposed scheme is that the New York
association is composed very largely of
joboers and manufacturers who sell TO
the retail trade.
The Manufacturing Jewellers Board Of
Trade OF this city and Attleboro is COM
posed entirely Of manufacturers who arc
supposed to sell 10 the wholesale trade
altogether, and this r. something that
calls for serious consideration.
The local men, or rather a large num-
ber OF them, are OF the opinion that the
interests of the New York men would be
opposed TO those OF the Providence and
Attleboro men,, and in many cases the
local men might have accounts against
those very New York men.
Thus, s--ere would be every reason for
gein on the part OF the New Workers. in
the proposed combination. but very little

territory was entered into cannot be
learned The truce between the roads on
which construction work In that terri
tory was suspended expired on August j.

In the near future.
President Mellen made 4 statement re-
gardine the change in tariffs between his
road and the Q. r. a N, by which the
Northern Pacific has discontinued turn
ing over wheat to the Oregon road at

Mr.. Mellen says the Northern Pacific Is
charged 81 so per ton for switching In this
city by the Oregon road. which he con-
siders exorbitant, and for this reason his
road VIII not ship wheat to Portland ex-
eept over its own tracks He says the
Northern Pacific is endeavoring to oh
tain the right TO run its trains into Port
