Observing citizens will not fail 10 note
the marked contrast between the action
Of Mayor Miller and the senate of Rhode
Island in the matter OF appointments 10
public office. Mayor Miller is a staunch
Democrat. yet his political affiliations
and principles did not deter him from
re re-appointing to one OF the most impor-
tant municipal offices man OF opposing
nolitical views. but one who had proven
a faithful and efficient public servant
The majority i'm the state senate, on the
other hand. has carried partisanship 10
such an extent that II has disguised all
fair-minded citizens and dismayed the
sensible members OF the party TO which
il pays allegiance. II has with an as
founding lack of dignity and decency
brushed aside excellent nominations made
by the governor and in three notorious
instances. that of police commissioner OF
Providence. commissioner OF industriai
statistics and factory inspector has pro-
ceeded TO elect to office candidates VINO In
fitness. firmness of character and mentai
equipment were much below the level OF
those named by Governor Garvin. This
contrast between what Mayor Miller did
last night and what partisan majority
in the state senate has been doing for
month will not escape the attention OF
honest citizens or fail to exert influence
when they go to the polls in November
next.

fair requests on the part OF wage
workers and of their representa-
tives for night hearings have been
ignored. Ii will be a mistake IT
such hearings are not given and
there is reason for the belief that
they would not have been delayed
or denied had this important COM
mittee been more wisely consti-
tuted.
Special interest is aroused as to
the recommendation that will be
made by the committees OF the
progressive measures now before
them. SO strong is the minority
that it can compel reports and
that few measures will be smoth-
cred in committee this session
seems gratifyingly probable.

Kramer, the undefeated champion of the country, still holds that proud title, and last night defeated a half dozen other starters who have been riding very fast this year. The mile was in the remarkable time of 1:5S 1-5, which Is very fast considering the con- dition Of. the track It is in very bad condition, principally by reason of the numerous motor races which have been held there during the year.

TESTIMONY BEING TAKEN.

TESTIMONY BEING TAKEN.
 Attorney James D. Dewell. Jr., re- turned to New Haven yesterday from York, where he had been taking the tes- tinlony of the crew of the steamer Schonfels, which sunk the schooner Jennie R. Dubois week ago Saturday. He saw the commander, Captain Groot, the two lookouts, the second and fourth officers who were on the bridge at the time of the accident and few other members of the crew, taking the testf- mony os each. This work required all of Friday, Saturday and Monday.
 Attorney Dewell left for Providence yesterday afternoon, where he will take the testimony of tine crew of the schooner, and it is believed that when the case comes up before Judge Rob- erts the testimony will all be in. The law firm of Wing, Putnam S Burling- ham, of New York has been retained as counsel for the Schonfels.
 Hon. James D. Dewell, the man. aging owner of the wrecked schooner, and Captaoin Smeed, will try to save some of the rigging of the Dubois. but all hope of pumping up the cargo of coal has been given up. If it was hard coal it would be different question, and it might have been possible to save it.
