ternoon opened the inquest into the
death of Joseph Cox, who died at the
Rhode Island hospital on June 81 as a
result of injuries received June is at
the plant OF the Hanley Brewing COM
pany, where Cox was employed
On that day Patrick Toolin, who
was in the employ OF the Thomas
Grimes e. Bros. Co. went to the brew
cry to get a lot of barrels of beer.
Cox supervised the loading of them. 1t
is said that when Cox said the num-
ber was complete Toolin claimed there
were two barrels short. and proceeded
to take two that were being loaded
in another team.
This act, IL is alleged. caused words
and the two men TO grapple with each
other. During the scuffle Cox was
either knocked down. or fell and
struck on his head. That ended the
row and Cox was taken TO his home.
where IL was found that his most
apparent injury was a broken leg, and
that night he was removed TO the
hospital. Later head symptoms ap-
peared and Cox died.

licemen were then assigned to each wagon.

PHONE FRANCHISE
VETOED BY THE
MAYOR TODAY

Mayor Patrick j. Mccarthy sent to
the common council this afternoon his
veto of the ordinance granting six
years exclusive telephone franchise to
the Providence Telephone company.
The mayor treats the subject ex-
haustively and suggests number OF
amendments which. to his mind. would
make the ordinance acceptable. Among
these are a provision definitely
terminating the contract at the end of
six years and per cent of the gross
earnings.
The message follows:
TEXT OF THE MESSAGE.
July LIST, 1907.
To the Honorable the City Councils:
Conference.-The ordinance concern
ing telephone rates and granting GER
tain rights TO The Providence Tele-
phone company until Dec. 1st, 1918,
recommended by majority OF a COM
mittee OF the city council, relative to
telephone competition, passed in the
common council on June Sd. and In the
board of aldermen on June Goth, and
presented TO the mayor June 21st, 1907.
Is herewith returned without approval
for the following reasons. set forth as
objections thereto.
Said ordinance embodies a contract
between the city and said company and
grants 10 said company "the exclusive
right to maintain and furnish tele-
phone service within the city of Provi-
dence" for an indefinite period. beyond
the term OF six years and six months,
in consideration OF said company's
agreement to reduce existing rates and
TO pay an annual tax equal TO three
per centum OF it's gross earnings with
In the city; TO continue to carry police
and fre electric wires on poles and
in conduits, and TO adopt such newly
discovered methods OF service as may
lessen the cost to subscribers.
While j am not in favor OF exclusive
franchises. there are conditions under
which II may be advisable TO grant the
same for short term OF years, but not
quate consideration therefor. and the
rights OF the people are protected from
the entertainments which are usually
made thereon by monopolies.
The Providence Telephone company Is
local corporation. managed by. and. l
am Informed. owned mostly by citizens OF
this state. and should receive-every-

above mentioned principles.
FOUR OBJECTIONS.
My objections to this ordinance are
1. 1t does not provide adequate consid-
GRAFTON for the city OF Providence in re-
turn for the valuable franchise given.
Under said ordinance the telephone COM
pany is required to do only for the city
that which II now does. and must con-
tinue TO do. under ordinance No. 81, chap
ter s7S approved Feb Z. 1899, which reads
as follows:
Section s. The said telephone COM
pany, its successors and assigns. in con-
slderation OF rights and privileges herein
granted, shall make and render to the

closed In a good fence in which no

came to look at the cattle yesterday

Mr.. Farr and a number of men had
searched all over the locality in vain
for the cattle. 1t is hardly conceiv-
able thai any toe thief would be so
enterprising as TO attempt to trek Tor

ably puzzled. The cattle had just ar
