All Quiet at Waterford and
Thornton Yesterday
ItieS Mean Business Ills Said.

A reporter who journeyed TO Waterford
yesterday found that the pool rooms were
not open for business. though there was
some evidence of life about the place.
None OF the usual daily crowd OF sports
was there yesterday and no special train
from Boston came down.
The barkeeper at Casey's saloon inform
ed the callers yesterday that the pool
room was closed and closed for good by
order OF the authorities Some men who
have had more than a posing interest In
the pool room yesterday said they believed
that the place was clased for all time. but
they did not think that the Thornton
place would be interfered with.
The Waterford place was closed on
Wednesday by order OF Alhponso r..
White, the president OF the town council
OF North Smithneld, and he said yester-
day that he did not think that the pro-
prietors OF this place would have the
audacity to think of opening again.
At Thornton the Old Fenner stand was
quiet and Chief of Police Kimball of
Johnston said that the place was closed
and would not reopen.
On Thursday night Chief Kimball talked
with the manager OF the place over the
telephone and told him that no violation
of the law would be contenanced and
warned him to suspend business. So
ends for time. at least. the open horse
pool room business In this State.

The author speaks out her mind freely
on almost all conceivable subjects. and

bugs. and all the rest She has very
pronounced opinions on all topics. and Of
course. In saying so II III. says many
things with which her readers will not al

theatrical profession must not be con
demned. because II wins millions of fol-
lars q year for the feeding OF thousands
OF little mouths. and these children are
just as dear to their actor parents as
