Confederate Home ApprO-
priatiOns.

Many of the Confederate vet.
eran camps of the State are
passing resolutions and prepar.
ing memorials, to be presented
to the next Governor, in which
they petition him to ask tor lar
ger appropria tions at the hands
of the legislature for the Con
federate home.
Ever since the home was es-
tablished by the State, govern
or after governor has been pre-.
sented with petitions and memo
rials of this character just be-
fore the biennial assemblage of
lawmakers.
The average lawmaker, while
campaigning, makes plausa-
BILE plea for the "battle SCARED
Confederate hero" but this
same lawmaker, when he puts
on the legislative toga a few
months later, forgets all about
this Confederate hero, or else
he learns after his election that
the constitution stands in the
way"
Such is the history of the APP
preparations for the Conteder-
ate home
The governor is not the one
for the camp to go after. They
should go direct to the throne,
which in this instance is the leg
islature. In the past it has not
been the executive which over
looked the home, but the legis
lative branch.

And wonder

So tight to fit?

LIABLE
TO TAX
LEVY.
Building In pswluckel Used
Partly Tor School Purposes
Not Exempt From T;xtioa

The appellate division of the supreme
court handed down today an important
opinion on a question OF the taxation
of a parochial school In Pawtucket The
city of Pawtucket asked the opinion on
the matter.
This opinion is per curiam" and is as
follows; "The case stated presents the
question whether the land and building
thereon. used I'm part for chapel for re-
ligious Worship and In part for the resi-
dencc of sisters ot mercy who serve as
teachers in a free parochial school, I'm
the schooihouse on an adjoining lot, is
exempt from taxation.
General laws. chap. ~. sec. .. exempts
from taxation buildings for free public
schools buildings for religious worship
and the land upon which they stand and
Immediately surrounding the same to an
extent. not exceeding one acre so far as
said buildings and land are occupied and
used exclusively for religious or edu-
cational purposes" Also, I'm similar
terms. the buildings owned by a corpo-
ration, used for a school. etc, far
the same is used exclusively for edu-
cational purposes. The court is of opin-
ion that the building described does not
come within the exemption.
'lt is not free public school. IL is not
q DullulnS uSe0 exclusively TOT TellRiOus
purposes. 1t is I'm part a dwelling house
for teachers i'm the school. St Josephs
VS. Providence II r. l. 49, IL is not there
fore a building used exclusively for edu-
cational purposes
THE words, so far as the same is used
exclusively etc, are words OF extent
not OF exclusion. The whole estate is not
excluded from exemption II any part of
1t is used for other purposes, but 1t is ex-
empt 10 the extent OF the exclusive relig-
ious or educational use
''The exclusive use is required TO be OF
both land and buildings. For instance IL
both are used exclusively for religious or
educational purposes up to a certain line
OF the building, II would so far be eX-
empt: but where the same part Is devoted
both to secular and exempted uses, IL does
not come within the statute. We think
the building described is of the latter
class and hence is not exempt from tax
alton"
st. Joseph's church corporate of Paw
tucket was the party In whose behalf the
opinion was asked.

A STATEMENT
Made Today BY Treasurer Wood
Of WOeIOn Co.

Boston, April 9.-Treasurer Wood of the
American woolen company today gave
out the following statement on the con-
dition of the mills:
This morning shows a gain In the num-
Der of weavers at work in the olneyvillS
mills OF the company. Notwithstanding
the developments at other points the
daily gains have been substantial and
continuous.
While the number OF weavers who first
reported for work at the beginning of the
strike IL weeks ago were not the old
help. they have easily become familiar
with the machinery and with the Provi-
dence work I'm these past IL weeks: but
the operatives now reporting for work
include old help not only from other cen
ters but from the ranks of the strikers
themselves. Moreover the weavers I'm the
mills outside of the combination who
have not enjoyed the high wages paid
by the American Woolcn company arc
being attracted by the opportunity Of
bettering their positions by securing work
In the company's mills at Olneyvile and
are adding daily to the number of weavers
at work there AS one-third OF the looms
al Olneyville are now taken by the new
help IL looks as n it would be embarrass-
ing for the company 20 attempt 90 give
their old help their former looms"
