COULD NEW
BOARD REsC|ND
OLD BOARD VOTE?

Stansaus T Dzick OF Central Falls to-
day filed In the office of the clerk OF the
supreme court a petition for a writ OF
certiorari against Hector Schuller, Richard
A. Butler and James Jennings. members
of the board of license commissioners OF
Central Falls. The members Of the pres
ent board Aare chosen early this year,
after the men previously holding office as
members of the licensing board had been
practically forced out.
Just after the new board went in Deputy
Sheriff Sherman. who has been more or
less OF a strenuous resident of Central
Falls, went over the old boards doings
with exquisite care, and there were some
licenses rescinded. One man had his
license rescinded because IL was claimed
he was not citizen. Dzick had the vote
in his favor of the previous board rescind-
ed because the license was issued at
Dunn court. and that. the present board
says. Is not public-traveled way. and
because Dzick. the same board says, was
not citizen.
Hugh ]. Carroll Is counsel for Dzlck. and
ne cites many reasons In support OF his
claim that the new boards action was
illegal. An especial point made Is that
the new board could not rescind vote
passed by the old board. II is further
claimed such a course Is subterfuge 10
prevent Dzich getting the benefit OF a IL
cense properly granted TO him and for the
revokng OF which there Is no reason.

SEEKS MAYORS
AID TO GET
THEIR CLOTHES

number OF machinists who arrived
from New York yesterday claim that
they were misled when they were
hired, as they were not informed that
there was strike on in this city.
on learning OF the fact that there
was a strike on they refused to go TO
work and demanded their clothing and
tools and other baggage which had
been taken to the Bull Pen" so-called.
on North Main street. Their demand
was refused. they said. by the agent.
The men then proceeded TO interview
w. H. Johnstone. business agent Of the
Machinists' union, who took them down
TO the mayors office. and, acting under
his instruction, put their statement In
writing. He then instructed Mr.. John
stone to go over TO the Bull Pen"
with the men and demand their posses
sion, otherwise legal action would fol-
low.
Mr.. Johnstone accompanied the men
to North Main street, but the clerk
I'm charge would not allow them TO take
the mems belongings until he had
time TO consult with the attorney for
the Metal Trades association as to
what action would be taken. Mr.. John
stone stated that he would walt a rea-
sonable time before taking legal
action. As the men are strangers in
the city and would no doubt find IL
difficult to give a bond so that they
could replevin, they may have 10 pro-
ceed under an action of trover and con-
version.
