reduced to tf0 minimum. The men of

Sad sights. it is said, were witnessed
when the sparse rations were being
drawn. Children would cry for milk for

beg for extra food for their starving chill
dren. The number of women and chill
dren in the town was estimated at 800.

Court scores rubber Compauy.

Providence. March 6.-The appellate
court has given decision in favor OF
the plaintiff in the action for deb,
brought by the late Joseph Banigan
against the United States Rubber com.
pany. This suit was begun in 1896 and
was for salary of $4,000 as president
and member of the executive committee
of the rubber trust. The court scored the
company for giving munifcent salaries to
its members and not dealing fairly and
honestly toward Mr.. Banigan, because
other officers salaries were not cut at the
same time. The court fixed his compen-
sation at the rate of $4,000 per annum.
