system. which now embraces by far
the larger proportion of the electric
cars in Rhode Island. will be closely
looked after hereafter.
General Manager A. f. Potter has
taken the matter up and will push 1t

He has had the subject under con-
sideration some time, and last January
addressed a communication to the au-
thorities at New Haven on the Iques-
tion OF making provision for testing
the eyes OF motormen periodically, in
order to insure the continuance OF
even better service as the men gain
in wisdom and experience from long
connection with the company's affairs.
Owing to an impression that has
gotten abroad that some OF the motor
men, in fact, large proportion, have
defective vision, as quite a number
have been seen wearing glasses and 9TH
ers who die not wear glasses have made
application for positions on the police
force and been rejected largely be-
cause OF defective vision, Mr.. Potter

not the company has any test for
eyesight, and requires its motormen to

IN THE CHURCHES
IS CONDEMNED

The great selfishness existing in the
churches was bitterly denounced by Rev.
Henry ]. Cushman, pastor OF the First
Universalist church, corner OF Green and
Washington streets. in an address at the
session this morning of the Rhode Island
Universalist convention, which is being
held in that church.
Rev Cushman stated that the time for
denominationalism has practically passed,
and that in order to accomplish much in
Christian work the churches must cooper
ate with one another The time has come,
he said, when scattered religions and be-
levers, especially in the smaller districts,
must unite with the nearest Christian
union and seize the opportunity TO rise
above denominationalism In this, and
no other way, he continued. can Christian
ity be saved in New England. Continuing
he said:
"a sane religion in its activities
must not be selfish. but unselish; this
goes without saying, yet IL needs to
be said, because interest has been self
centered. We must not Ignore the
tremendous initiative civilization has
made. The churches must subordinate
themselves IL they accomplish anything
for the kingdom OF heaven on this
earth. This is not only confined TO
the Methodist, but to all OF them.
"Ninety-nine out OF 100 are asking,
What shall l get? The only sane ques-
tion in religion we should ask is How
can 1 serve my fellow menT"
The necessary characteristics OF
sane church. Rev. Cushman said, are
as follows: The religion must not be
elective, but inclusive Its administra-
tion must not he ecclesiastical, but
Christian. Its activities must not be
selfish, but unselfish

o'clock, Rev. Cushman, the president.

Cushman commenced his address at IL

PRISONER ''J|M'
PROVED TO Be An
OLD OFFENDER

"Jim" has been recognized as a burglar
of much prowess. He, who gave the name
Of "Jim," and refused to further identify
himself at inspectors headquarters, was
arrested Monday in South Main street
shop while trying to sell gold watch for
81. by Inspector Ahern. He had i'm his
pockets another watch, chains and old
coin valued at s175.50. The inspectors be-
lieved the prisoner had committed robbery
10 some place in Massachusetts, and noti-
fed the police of that commonwealth OF
their capture. AS a result Detective
Ernest f. Bradford Of Hyannis came to
this city today and identified Jim" as
Ebenezer Chase. 60 years old. who. on
Memorial Day entered the homo OF Mercy
r. Crowen of West Dennis, and stole the
property found on him.
Chase admitted the crime. and was
taken back by Detective Bradford.
Chase was in 1895 sentenced to 10 years
at Charlestown prison for burglary at
the homes OF Myron Peeks and Elsie X.
Crowell OF West Dennis, and was released
from prison In August, 1903. He has since
been arrested for other offences.

Mr.. Potter admitted that none had
yet been made, but stated that he had
already taken up that subject with
headquarters last January and expected
action would be taken that would
fully protect the company and the
general public.
'I believe" he said, "that motormen
on street railways should be subjected
TO as rigid tests as are engineers on
steam roads, and / believe also that q
man who has passed successfully the
visual examination and taken place
on the road as motorman should be
subjected to periodic tests of his eye

up with headquarters and favorable
action, / think, is likely"
Many motormen and conductors are
constantly applying at police head
quarters for positions on the force.

KELLEY APPEALS
TRANSFER CASE
To SUPREME CT,

The case OF William Kelly VS.. Rhode
Island company was heard by the su-
preme court on plaintiffs bill Of excep-
tions. Plaintiff entered a car at the cor
ner Of Eddy and oxford streets. wish
ing TO go 10 Smith street at the corner OF
Francis street. The car he entered trav-
elled on tracks which physically inter.
Weybosset and Dorrance streets, with
the tracks which ran northerly through
Dorrance and Francis streets TO Smith
street, thence westerly about 5000 feet on
might have gone after leaving the Eddy
street car by either a Gladstone avenue
or Centredale car TO the point he
wished to reach on Smith street
He chose an Elmwood car and the con-
ductor refused to take the transfer given
Mr.. Kelly on the Eddy street car, claim
ing that the transfer was so punched that
Mr.. Kelly must take car at Turks
Head. which would be a Centredale car.
The conductor after Mr.. Kelly refused to
pay his fare elected him from the car
Mr.. German, counsel for plaintiff, to-
day argued that plaintiff. having paid his
fare. acquired right to ride from the
point In the city where he entered the car
TO any other point in such city by "a
second car operated by the same cor
poration upon track which physically
intersects or connects at point towards
which he first took passage. The purpose
being to make it possible for one passen-
ger to go by means Of one transfer from
any point within the present limits OF
any such town or city, reached by any
line OF cars by continuous trip as near
as may be, in the car which he first
takes passage, and by a second car run
ming on any track connecting or inter
secting."
In substance that as the Gladstone
avenue car was the shorter route to
plaintiffs destination and the cars ran
oftener. he was within his rights under
the law when he took passage on II
rather than the Centredale car.
Counsel for defendant argued that plain
tiff had no cause of action. as the trans
fer clearly showed he had no right on a
Gladstone avenue car. and that the nom
suit was properly granted. 1t was sug-
gested by counsel for the plaintiff that
one could not tell from the transfer
whether II was meant that the transfer
owing to carelessness in punching.
