PROHIBITION
FORCES SPLIT
WIDE OPEN

There Is a wide-open split among the
Prohibition forces OF Rhode Island, az
was shown Saturday when I'm organizing
for the work OF the coming political year
the Prohibition state central committee
formally severed all connection with the
Rhode Island Temperance league, declar-
ing that ANY further official connection
with the said league by the Prohibition
party is useless and inadvisable," as 'the
league has steadily refused To avail itself
of the medium presented at each election
by the Prohibition party for protesting
against the evils OF the liquor traffic. and
the subserviency of the leading political
parties thereto. preferring rather TO sup
port those parties which have ignored de-
mands for more effective legislation tend
ing To minimize the evils OF the traffic"
Elisha II. Read OF Woonsocket was
elected chairman of the state committee
at the meeting for organization in the Of
flee OF Charles III. Tilley. chairman OF the
committee of 1907. Twelve members were
I'm attendance each county being repre-
sehted. Chairman Tilley made n verbal
report of the years work. and Treasurer
Louis u. Remington reported receipts and
expenditures OF $54l .16. Bills outstanding,
amounting to about $50, were taken care
of by pledges, and then the committee OF
1907 adjourned sine die.
Bernon Il. Helme OF South Kingstown
was elected vice president Wilbur r.
Smith of Providence, secretary, and Louis
Il. Remington OF Providence. treasurer.
The executive committee chosen were
Charles III. Tilley and Cassius l.. Knee
land for Providence county; Frederick r..
Jencks and Elnathan r. Brownell. Bris-
tol county: Herbert G.. Brownell and VIII
liam IL. Brightman, Newport county; j.
Percy Grinnell and DR.. George G. Soule,
Washington county and Or. Frank B.
Smith and Edgar A. Wood, Kent county.
The committee after considering the re-
lation OF the party to the Rhode Island
Temperance league. adopted the following
preamble and resolution:
whereas, the Prohibition state CEN
tral committee has for some time past
been represented officially on the board
of trustees OF the Rhode Island Temper
ance league, an organization which has
steadily refused TO avail itself OF the me-
dium presented at each election by tho
Prohibition party for protesting against
the evils OF the liquor traffic and the
subserviency OF the leading political par
ties thereto, preferring rather TO support
those parties which have repeatedly ig-
nored it's demands for more effective leg
islation tending to minimize the evils OF
the traffic: therefore, be IL,
Resolved That II liz the sense OF this
committee that any further official con-
nection with the said league by the Pro-
hibition party Is useless and inadvisable."

MARRIAGE LAW REVISION

TOO MANY RUNAwAYs.
| DIR. Chapin discovered last summer that
there had been an alarming influx OF rum
away couples. mostly from Massachusetts
and generally from the vicinity OF Bos-
ton. lie began 10 study the situation and
found he says that n considerable num-
her had been coming to Providence after
office hours on Saturdays. legal holidays
and on Sundays
| An arrangement had been In existence
whereby late comers at the city hall
might, by going To the hene 90 one OF
the clerks. take out Scen.es. The run
aways generally knew this fact. This
plan enabled those who left off work Sat-
urday moons, romantic schoolboys and
girls, foolish students at Harvard and ad-
venturous chorus girls. and divorced per-
! sons. to. slip out of Boston. get married
and return home on late trains. The out
of-hour license privilege was cut off en-
, tirely one month ago. and since, DIR. Cha
pin says, there has been a marked di-
minution OF marriages here of Massa-
chusetts couples

sought legal union.
That the marriage laws OF this state
are sufficiently restrictive I'm their provi-
sions TO sometimes thwart matrimonial
plans made I'm good faith and with hon
orable intent. and. too with the approv-
al OF the families. is occasionally seen.
In such case DIR. Chaplin was recently
compelled by law 10 refuse n license TO
a Providence couple. whose romance was
rudely terminated.
This particular shattered romance
would have ended I'm lawful marriage had
the principals been of the Jewish persua-
tion, but they were not The intending
bridegroom I'm this case had been adopt
ed when small. His own father. widow
ed. remarked and had a son, who when
he grew TO manhood married and had a
daughter. IL was this young woman who
was the intended bride the two lovers
being unaware of the relationship TO each
other, by which the man was the half
uncle of the young woman. The foster
father OF the man, however, learned the
facts and laid them before DIR. Chaplin,
who was obliged 10 refuse the desired IL
cense. after consultation with the law de-
partment.

CAP TAIN, WIFE
AND BABE SAVED
FROM BARGE

South Norwalk, Conn. Dec. 16--During
the fierce storm which ragged along this
coast three barges OF a string of is in tow
OF tugs Elmer A. Keeler and ID. s. Arnott
broke away from the tow, which was ly-
ing at Wilson's Point TO ride out the
storm. and drifted out toward Long Is
land Sound. one of the barses, the Ell
heurah, went down OFF Fish Island. the
captain or the barge. his wife and their
s-days'-old baby being taken of by tho
tug D. s. Arnott just In time.
The barge Ettie Moore sank off Will
sons Point after the captain and his wife
had been taken of by the d. S. Arnott.
The Savannah, the third barge. was
drifting out into the Sound when she was
caught and towed back to the Point. All
were coal-laden.
The barge Elheurah was bound 10 this
port with a cargo OF coal consigned TO n
Providence dealer. The craft was last
seen here about three weeks ago. when
she deposited a cargo OF coal at the East
ern Coal company's plant on Dyer street.
The night previous to her departure in
tow OF the tug Elmer A. Keeer she broke
adrift from her moorings Just below
Point street and came very near collid-
ing with the bridge. II was only through
the presence of mind OF Night Superin-
tendent McElroy, who opened the draw
and allowed the craft to drift upstream
that an accident was averted. She was
later taken in tow by the tug and an
chored safely until the morning.
The barge has created memorable
record I'm the annals OF local shipping
circles About two years ago she was in
q collision with the big steamer Powha-
tan OF the Merchants and Miners Trans
portation company. and at that timc
sank Just below Kettle Point. Her mas
ter at that time was man about 20
years OF age. but he was saved by n crew
I'm lifeboat from the steamer. The barge
was then raised and towed 10 tho dry
dock. where she repaired and later was
again placed I'm commission.
