H|NDRANCE

No such disagreeable Incidents a.
marred the maiden visit OF the steame,
City OF Haverhin to Block Island on Sun.
day disturbed the trip made yesterday,
Few persons were present at the wharf
ether at arrival or departure, and every
thing was quiet and orderly.
The Haverhill left this city al e:s5 A.
m, and arrived at Block Island M Q
O'Clock. She It'd up at the head of the
dock at Old Harbor. alongside OF the
steamer Danielson, which Is laid up for
repairs. Capt Stinson stated that there
was no difficulty experienced In making
landing. no objection being offered by
anyone. The same was the case at New
port
The Haverhill carried 40 passengers
ana large amount OF freight Lawyer
sullivan was passenger. as on Sunday
owing 10 the heavy freight on the return
trip the steamer did not get away from
the island until o'clock
ATTORNEY SULLLVAN'S STATEMENT
The attempt OF the opposition element
on the Island 10 prevent the landing of
the boat Is based upon the action taken
by the town council last Saturday. IN
which IL was voted that no boat other
than those owned by the town or bv
citizens OF the town should be allowed TO
land at public wharf
Lawyer Edward NJ. Sullivan. who re
turned on the boat yesterday said last
evening that the action OF the town coun-
Gil was entirely Illegal and could not be
sustained In the courts. "If those people
had proper legal counsel" he said they
wouldn't act as they do. They are act
ing like parcel OF boys, and can ac-
complish nothing by II. There Is no
reason why the Dauieson should be tied
up at that wharf. She is out of COM
mission. and at this time of the year Is
usually kept In the new harbor. She is
being painted at the present time. and
was brought to that wharf simply 10
block the way OF the City OF Haverhil,
That wharf Is a public highway and
the town council cannot say who shall
use II and who shall not, any more than
the city council OF Providence can sny
who shall use Westminster street and
who shall not. They may abandon 1t II
they choose. but then IL would revert |
to the original owners"
Mr.. Sullivan anticipates that In anv
legal tangles that may be rtoduced the |
town council and its leaders will be~de- |
'eated I'VE shall find some way" he |
said, 'of compelling them to remove the |
Danielson from that wharf while she is |
lot In active service"
The steamer yesterday brought an
,ther load OF fish to this city. and Cant
'tinson on the arrival here expressed en-
Ire satisfaction with the results thus far

VERDICT STANDS.
Court Refuses 10 Set Aside Award Of
$2350 Made 10 Ella C. Baker.

The appellate court has refused to set
aside the verdict for s235O given for the
plaintiff in the case OF Ella C. Baker
against the Rhode Island company. De-
fendant petitioned for new trial and the
court denies the petition saying:
There is conflicting testimony upon all
the issues I'm the case. The plaintiff and
the conductor differ as to the clrcum-
stances OF the accident and the doctors
disagree as TO the credibiity OF the
plaintin's S account OF her suffering. These
questions were for the jury 10 determine
and there is nothing before the court
which enables IL 10 say that the conclu-
sions OF the jury are erroneous.
We cannot hold as a matter of law
that IL Is not negligence TO start an cleo
trio car while passenger Is coming up
the steps to the platform In most cases
IL would seem that n passenger having
both feet upon the car and holding the
rail would be safe II the cor should start;
but In any case, the conductor Is bound
to exercise such care as the situation re-
quires and jury in this case found that he
did not"

DECISION
IN FAVOR
OF F|SHMEN

New York. June PA decision OF
much interest TO importers of fish has
been handed down by the board of United
States general appraisers. 1t is in favor
OF the importers.
Fish imported in brine are dutiable by
weight at the rate of half cent a
pound. About six months ago the gen.
eral appraisers ruled that the~brine sur
rounding the fish must be included in the
dutiable weight. The board now explains
that Its former decision must be inter
preted to mean that only the brine ad-
herring to fish after they have been
drained shall be included in the dutia Bile
weight.
INTEREST TO NEW ENGLAND.
Boston, June 21.--The decision by the
United States appraisers is chiefly OF in
terest to the fish importers OF New Eng
land. as result OF whose protest the
matter was brought to the attention of
the appraisers. For some time the Ash
importers here have been paying a duty
both on the weight OF the fish and the
brine In the barrels surrounding the fsh
Their contention was that the levying OF
charge by the government on the brine
was entirely unfair. They also pointed
out that the aggregate duty was so high
that their profits were materially re-
duced.
