ton. After an investigation Of the case
by the police and Coroner Eugene Lincoln
he was released this morning at 1910.
The unfortunate man. who is thought
10 be evidently a laborer, was walking In
the road toward Providence. When tho
car was within 25 feet of him he stopped
and did not seem 10 be aware OF the car
approaching.
Before the motorman could bring the
car 10 a stop the man had been run down
and had fallen unconscious on the fender
and was dragged a distance OF about ten
feet
The dead man was about 80 years old.

FOR BOND
ISSUE AT
BLOCK|SLAND

Evidences are not wanting at the state
house TO indicate that another wierd and
wonderful piece OF legislation I'm the inter
ests OF the Block Island ring is being
prepared TO facilitate the plan for allow
ing the New Shoreham town council 10
issue bonds without submitting the mat
ter TO the taxpayers.
Yesterday Capt. Ia! Dodge presented
what purports TO be a petition signed by
a majority OF tho taxpayers OF New
Shoreham, who express desire for the
bond issue by that means rather than by
the course OF financial town meeting
To- the clerk of the house committee on
judiciary TO be referred TO that body
when IL meets.
The usual course I'm such matters is To
present II TO tho house or senate and
have IL referred TO the committee. and the
mere fact that a petition bearing upon n
measure which had a dubious look at the
start presented I'm this secretive manner
would have a suspicious look at the very
outset
Senator Champlin appeared averse 10
having anything said about the project
and stated that he wanted the thing kept
quiet
Gov. Utter said that the idea of placing
tho power to issue bonds I'm the hands
OF town council was entirely an
tagonistic to the Rhode Island principle
OF government. Financial town meet
ings are provided for that purpose" the
governor said. land why this matter is
not left 10 take that course is "a question.
The project OF bond issues under our
present law Is left i'm the hands of real
estate and property voters; in tho country
towns the financial meetings thus decide
upon such propositions involving taxa
ton.
This plan Of the Block Island leaders
should not be fostered by the assembly.
as II would establish a precedent that
would work ruin to the principles of
Rhode Island government.
IF these fellows have the signatures
OF the taxpayers, a majority of them, az
it's said. with the affidavit of the town
clerk that the signers are taxpayers,
then what is tho reason that this propo-
sition cannot he placed before them at n
financial town meeting, just IA the other
towns in tho state have to do"

A CANDID WITNESS.

The candor of Senator Platts testi-
mony regarding political contributions
by life insurance companies has not
been sufficiently commented upon.
Senator Platt told not only about the
amount Of money subscribed which,
after all, is immaterial; he told about
the reasons why the donations were
made Inquisitor Hughes had asked
him what the advantages the compan-
les might expect from their gifts, sug-
costing they were buying protection.
Senator Plat frankly admitted, al
most in so many words, that this was
the case The questions and answers
were:
"Now, isn't that the way it really
comes about Senator, that the use
of these contributions in the election
of candidates to Office puts the can
didate more or less under moral
obligation not to attack the interests
supporting him."
"That is naturally what would be
involved" admitted Senator Platt.
But isn't that really what is in
volved."
Il should think SO the Senator re-
piled.
That" said Mr. Hughes, finally,
els what you meant when you sad
that they would expect, through your
relations to the State committee, 10
defend them?"
Eyes, Sir" was the Senator's last
word
In other words Senator Platt felt
morally bound, after accepting the
contributions, to use his influence 20
secure any legislation the companies
wanted, and to defeat any legislation
they did not want Every gift was q
bride pure and simple And Senator
Plat recognized all the gifts as brides.
They are saying the old man is In
his dotage. Perhaps he is, but it is
dotage that is worth while to the
holders Of insurance policies, for t
is enlightening them on the chan
nels through which their money q
being unlawfully diverted from them.
