MANDAMUS

BY COURT
Cayanaugh and Others Want
Exclusive Right 10 RsmOVa
Dead Animals.

The petition OF Michael J. Cavanaugh
and others who were awarded the eNclu-
sive right by the board Of aldermen OF
Pawtuckct 70 remove dead animals. for
a mandamus against Mayor Fitzgerald
and members OF tho board for refusing to
award the contract 20 which petitioners
claim they are entitled was before the
appellate court today for hearing.
The record of the board OF aldermen.
City Solicitor Blodgett admitted. showed
that 81 had been voted 10 give the right
70 remove dead animals to tho highest
bidder.
There has been everything done it was
claimed by Hugh } Carroll counsel for
petitioner. by The board or aldermen to
delay tho awarding OF the c9ptract or

that tho MAYOR should be either ordered

ABOUT RUMAGE SALES
Some OF the main arguments against
the junk license bill. have already been
stated but II should be borne In mind
that this bill provides also for a license
for dealers In secondhand articles. and
this is intended TO apply to all second
hand articles. except furniture.
IL is contended, and apparently with
some logic, that under this bill the So
ciety or club conducting n rummage sale
would have to procure license and pay
a fee. This. OF course. would be the
height of absurdity. but the language
OF the bill Is very plain.
Again pawnbrokers, who already pay
a license, often sell secondhand arti-
cles and there is reason TO believe that.
If the bill should pass in It's present
form. they would have to pay an add
tional license for the sale OF second hand
goods.
The fact that no provision Is made for
the transfer of any license that would be
granted, is claimed To be i'm contradict
ton 10 the provisions of the statutes,
and. In fact there seems 10 be no end
10 the arguments made against the way
the bills are drawn.
NEW BILLS NEEDED.
The proposition was made this morn
ing by a prominent lawyer that i'm his
opinion the only thing 10 DO with both
bills was To refer them back 10 the com
mittee on ordinances. with Instructions
that the committee on ordinances draw
up a new and legally sound bill.
lie said that lie had read both bills.
and did not very well see how they
could be "tinkered' satisfactorily. The
peddlers bill was, i'm his opinion, away
off, in several sections, and the only
real remedy was in new bill.
AS the matter stands there promises
10 be an interesting discussion this eve
ming. Everybody wants TO see a proper
and adequate junk and peddlers' law,
but at the same time they want a law
that will not put the city into unneces-
sary litigation.
This. II il said. can be done by tho
committee on ordinances without much
trouble. and this will probably be the
course that will be pursued.

bank. owing to the doubtful value of
some of the banks assets, have decided
that Il is for the best interests OF the de-
positors that the bank go into liquidati ton.
and action has already been taken look
ing TO this result. Pending the granting
Of the authority, no money will be re-
ceived or paid out
CAUSED EXCITEMENT.
This action came as a great surprise 10
the town and naturally excitement pre-
walls among many small depositors.
The estimated amount OF deposits is
something less than $1,000. .000 The number
OF depositors about 2000 and the largest
amount due any one deposition about Sl2,-
coo.
Because Of the recent death OF j. u.
Foster no one has comprehensive
knowledge OF the condition OF the bank,
and even among trustees there Is a
marked difference of opinion except on
one point, which Is that the bank should
close. T.. y. Foster, brother Of J. Il.
Foster, succeeded him as trustee.
None OF the trustees can give an idea
OF the length OF time which viii be re-
quired TO wind up business. The deposit
ors may receive 80 per cent, possibly
more. possibly less.
The bank was established i'm 1870, in
connection with the national Phoenix
Oank. Inc ialltf II not dHeCNed py tule
liquidation nor is any other bank in town
involved
A prominent Westerly citizen said to-
day that the Western securities held by
the bank were not really very bad and IL
might have been possible TO have car
ried on the business OF the bank had not
those in charge of its affairs been very
conservative in their ideas
NO RUN on THE BANK.
The closing OF the Mechanics Savings
bank did not create any visible commo-
tion In financial circles at Westerly this
morning.
II was thought that the action OF the
directors might have the effect OF start
ing run on some OF the local institu-
tions. but during the forenoon withdraw
ais were apparently no more extensive
than usual. All tho banks were prepared
10 meet any sudden demand. one IL Is
stated having $780, 900 cash in its vaults.

MOTHER
CLAIMS
her SON.
Mrs. Lewis Pouncas on Young
Cole When Ha kIights From
a Trolley Car.

Quite a commotion was kicked up In
front of City Hall this morning
A rather tall youth, apparently Il
years old. was seized and held by a
woman and had such an argument be-
tween them that Patrolman Simons felt
constrained 10 escort both 10 police head
quarters, where they were detained until
Capt Mathews and Agent Thurber
could arrive.
Ii seems that the boy had just alighted
from Warren and Bristol car. when the
woman grabbed him by the arm.
subsequently 81 was ascertsined that
the boy was Irving Cole, and that the
woman was Mrs. Lewis. She was his
mother.
Mrs. Lewis got divorce from Cole,
the boys father and secured the custody
OF the children, a boy and girl.
These she placed in the charge of their
grandfather Cole. who resided at Bar
rington, and the grandfather had turned
them over 20 his divorced wife, who had
married again, and man by the name
of Stevens.
Two or three years ago Mrs. Cole hav-
ing married Lewis. asked for the revocs-
tion OF the order OF the court giving her
proceedings were not opposed by the anti
cruelty 20 children society.
The children were then at Warren. and
thither Mrs. Lewis went To get them.
Mrs. Lews and the divorced
grandmother had a clash and Mrs Ste
vens caused Mrs. Lewis 10 be arrested on
the charge OF sssaulting her and black
ening her eye.
Mrs. Lewis was fined SO. took an APP
peal and "A jury found her guilty and the
fine had 10 be- paid.
Mrs. Lewis got the girl at the time she
visited the Stevens menage, and she cor
rallied the boy today.
Agent Thurber told her To go along and
take the boy with her. and the big fell
low, tall enough 10 make a foot rule
look like 80 cents, and big enough, 9TH
erwise, TO overpower his mother and run
away. was led of by the arm -hooing

CONTEMPT
OF COURT
Smith, Had However, to Pay
The Costs Of the Proceed
ings Against Him.

Judge Douglas this morning adjudged
John &. Smith In contempt OF court for
violating the provisions Of an Injunction
issued against him some time ago
Cdr Smith was cutting down timber
on a lot 10 which the party who sold him
the right to cut had only a third interest
al the time the Injunction was issued.
Smith claims he misunderstood the or
der of the court In regard TO taking away

The violator OF the courts order was
permitted 10 purge himself by contempt
by paying the costs Of the motion. Hc
had previously given bond to pay for any
wood wrongfully taken.

The committee OH ordinances I'm return
ing the bills TO the common council with
out recommendation, will this evening,
this course OF action.
Among the reasons given in regard TO
the junk license bill, will be that.th fee
charges are excessive, that the bill dis
eliminates against certain class of cit
izens, that It would operate against GER
tain people who do not and should not
come under police control, and there are
also some other reasons.
Some OF the reasons against the ped
dlers bill will be that IL does not confirm
10 the language OF the statute. and that
its language in several Instances is such
that IL would involve the city in large
amount Of what might prove 10 expensive
litigation.
such a report. reserved the right. howev-
Or. to make such argument upon both the
proposed measures as they may deem
proper, which is tantamount 20 say that
they will oppose them vigorously, in their
present form.
WHAT Is a "TAKIR."
IN the mdlteF OF the peuulcfS blil al
Illustration can be taken at random. The
bill provides that all "fakirs" shall pay
license fee OF $50. Now. the question
arises. what "a "a 'fakir?"
II IL is i'm the ordinary acceptance or
the term a man who stands on a street
corner and sells something, then the very
fact that the man sells makes him ped
dier and he should be taxed as such.
II on the other hand he operates a lung
tester or electric machine he may stu
be demonstrated a "fakir" I'm the ordi-
nary sense but he ia not selling anything
and therefore cannot be taxed
Again the argument Is made that
charges proposed In the peddlers' bin
would In many cases be prohibitive. and
the result would be that hawkers and
peddlers would come from Massachusetts,
Connecticut and even New York. and
would carry on business here without any
license.
Justice Brewer Of the United States Su-
prefne court has ruled that a license of
this kind cannot be imposed on nom
