II has come TO the surface that the
honorable town council had heart TO
heart talk, Wednesday afternoon, and
slot machines proved to be the subject
One member Of the council informed his
associates that there was located with
in the limits OF the town a slot machine
that was fitted with switches" that
could be so manipulated that some could
win or, in other words. the machine was
built for the express purpose OF beating
the general public and that the only ones
that could win a handful OF coin were
those that were in the employ OF the
owner.
Plain language was used by this partfc-
ular councilman and he had apparently
the support of at least two OF his asso-
ciates, one OF whom said that the owner
OF the machine had taken from this state
last year the goodly sum OF $4,000. and.
so far a. he knew. had not contributed
measly nickel TO election purposes.
II was finally decided that one member
of the council should call upon the owner
OF the machine and ask him either 10 re-
move IL, or at least cut out the switches.
What surprised many is the fact that a
well known reformer was allowed 10 us
ten TO this talk and did not mc&e any
move 10 stop the machine, and this has
led many 10 believe that some one has
been treading on dangerous ground.
WHAT WILL THEY Dor
Just what will be done with the cases
OF Lizzie Davis. Joseph La Mourex and
Rapheal Pisinini at the session OF the
Seventh district court this afternoon. per-
sons who are charged with illegally deal
ing in liquor, is a much mooted question
The community will call TO mind That
quite a number Of persons were raided at
Pleasant Bluff a few days ago on like
charges and all but one have got OF with
payment OF costs" and the other pleaded
guilty. There may be an aftermath TO
the whole affair.

DIRECTORS
NOT HELD
TO BLAME

New York July s.-supreme Court
Justice Scott refused yesterday TO grant
an application made in behalf OF II. j.
Tavshanjian 10 have the demurrers in
terposed by the defendant directors Of
the Commonwealth Trust company. for
merly the Trust Company OF the Republic.
10 the complaint in Tavshanjian's suit
against them stricken out as frivolous.
At the same time Justice Scott does
not decide whether the demurrers are to
be sustained or not.
Tavshanjian alleges that he was In
duoed 10 buy stock in the United States
Shipbuilding company because of false
representations contained in the COM
pany's prospectus. which was issued by
the Trust Company Of the Republic. the
underwater Of the corporation.
He sets up that he is entitled to collect
from the directors OF the trust company
the money he paid for the stocks and
bonds he bought The latter demurred
on the ground that they were not respon-
sfble for the statements contained Tn the
prospectus.
Justice Scott says that there Is moth
ing TO show that the directors knew that
the statements were false or that mis-
representa- tions were allowed to creep into
the prospectus.
Au"they did. he says. was to stand by
and allow the prospectus to be issued by
the company. For all that appears 10 the
contrary. they may have thoroughly be-
ieved in the truth Of the statements.

CromptOn Band Concerts. Pre-

Notes Of Interest.

The Crompton band, which has rust re-
ceived its new uniforms. have offered to
furnish a series OF open air concerts In
their village, providing the merchants
and residents viii build and light band
stand The matter has been talked
about the town, but what action the
business men will take cannot as yet be
said. OF course the business men
realize the advantage gained by drawing
the crowds TO the village, and II Is
thought that the project OF building
stand will be given serious consideration.
There are several desirable lots on the
main street which belong 10 the Crompton
company which would make fine sites for
a band stand. and members OF the band
have reasons for believing that the COM
pany would be agreeable 10 the erection
OF a stand upon one OF them. Consequent
ly the matter OF whether or not the
village will have band concerts this sea-
son lays entirely with the residents.
