commodate the people of said district

The opinion OF the appellate court in
the case of Rhode Island Society for
the Prevention OF Cruelty to Children
VS.. Susie Hueston was handed down to-
day. M-ry A. O'Brien. whose parents
were Roman Catholics, was placed by
the society in the custody OF William

would not go to the Catholic church.
1T was urged the hearing that the
child should be placed where II would

Mrs Hueston said the child would not

alleged she had taught the child the
catechsm and had once taken her 70

The court has nothing to say in
regard to the Importance OF any re-
ligious instruction, in fact the chief JUS

The announcement made last week
OF the absorption OF the Bay Line and
New Haven Steamboat company by the
New York. New Haven & Hartford
Railroad company came as a very un-
pleasant surprise to the merchants and
shippers in this city and vicinity. They
had been led toibeiieve. when the COM
pany established itself in this port, that
Ii had come TO stay. Indeed. II is stat
ed positively that II was because of the
understanding that a permanent SER
vice was to be maintained that so many
merchants consented to give their
freight business to the Bay Line. Nat
urally these men feel aggrieved and do
not regard their treatment as being
either fair or just. 1t is recalled that
on the advent of the Bay Line here
there were rumors that its coming was
only "bluff' and that sooner or later
the Consolidated road would put an end
to competition by purchase or other
wise. Those who gave expression to

its representatives, should nave an OPP
portunity 10 be heard. for this was
right accorded to all persons by all the
courts of the state.
Chairman w. w. Blodgett assured
Mr.. Colwell that the committee had
no desire to precipitate matters, and
did desire TO obtain the opinion OF tho
people In regard 10 the act He thought,
however. as Ii was late in the session
that it might be well TO hear what the
corporations had 10 say in regard 10
the act .
Mr. colwer was willing that this
should be done and Mr.. James Tilling-
hast said that he also desired to have
an opportunity TO be heard, as he had
not been able to examine a copy Of the
act4 He did not think either side
should be heard until both sides we're
prepared.
Mr.. Walter f. Angel. for the Subur-
ban Railroad company, said that the
hearing had been advertised for several
days, and that there had been ample
opportunity for all persons to secure
copies of the act and to study 1t. He
thought that the committee wanted to
Snake some progress today, and was
ready to state his side OF the case.
Chairman Blodgett said that was
what the committee desired.

such sentiments were met by the state
ment that the New Haven management
had given assurances that Ii came here
to do business and that IL proposed to
stay IL 1t was given support The sup
port was forthcoming and in less than
a year the Bay Line was doing pros
porous and constantly increasing busi-
ness. None suspected that there was
any idea of selling out or that such a
thing was contemplated. The first
intimatlon was the bold statement that
the deal had been contaminated and
that the Bay Line would soon pass out
of existence.
Now that 1t has absorbed its competi-
tor In water transportation, IL is evil
dent that the New York, New Haven e.
Hartford company proposes to make
the most of its monopoly. Mr.. Jacob

by representative of the News. to
whom he said IL was the intention of
the company to boom its steamboat
business. He intimated that vast
changes and improvements are contem-
plated, the most important OF which
are to be made along India street. Al
though not disposed to give details. he
said that India street, as IL is at pres
ent, should be- abandoned to railroad
purposes. This would permit the build
ing of a commodious station and the
enlargement OF the facilities for hand
ing freight along the water front.
AS compensation of this taking away
OF the street from the public he ex-
planned that new highway could be
made to the northward and running
parallel with the present thoroughfare.
This would indeed be a radical change
and IL remains to be seen whether that

petition of the woonsocket Street Rail-
way company for relief from the ac-
ton of the city council ordering the
building OF a car route 10 Fairmount

hearing in the House chamber this
morning, TO all persons interested in

corporate the New York. Now Haven

an act IN amendment OF and in addi-
ton to an act, entitled an act to in
corporate the Rhode Island Suburban
Railway company. These bills propose
TO confer on the two railroads the right
to exercise the power Of eminent do
main.
Col. William Goddard was the first
speaker. He said he was-opposed to
the passage OF an act comforting such
powers. and added that he represented
corporations that have large interests
in this state and which have, he be-
lieved. done good work In Rhooe ISL
and. He could see readily how certain
corporations might punish a person or
corporation that was coDtumacious un-
der the provisions of the proposed act.
He thought that the general assembly
should carefully consider the matter
before acting upon IL, and he. individ-
ualls wished TO go on record as being
opposed to the bill.
