COWS SUFFERED
TERRIBLY FOR
FOOD AND Drink

Because II was in shocking condition
from lack OF food and water when un-
loaded at Newport yesterday noon, car
load OF cattle consigned to s. A. Pierce OF
Jamestown, was examined by the New
port agent for the Society for the Pre-
vention OF Cruelty to Animals and the
subject was at once referred to headquar-
ters in this city, which II is said. will in
all probability take action against the
New York. New Haven and Hartford rail-
road for neglect to properly provide for
the cattle, and for keeping them confined
in cars for 421a hours on a stretch. There
were two bulls and % cows in the con-
signment
Acting State Agent John A. Hawthorne
OF the 8. p. c. A. who is serving in that
capacity while Agent James N. Smith is
out of town. was notified by John A. Haz-
ard OF the Newport branch OF the society
that the carload OF cattle had been un-
loaded at Newport to be ferried across to
Jamestown. and that they were In pitia-
BILE condition from lack OF water and food,
while the cows were suffering from going
unmilked.
Some OF the cattle were In terrible
condition indeed said Mr.. Hawthorne
'and conditions were as they had been
described TO me before I went down. Mr..
Hazard and myself have not yet deter
mined what action will be taken in the
matter, but II Is likely that the New York.
New Haven and Hartford railroad will be
prosecuted for neglect. Action may be de-
layed for some tirne. however. for we
wish to make a full investigation before
we proceed"
When the cattle were released, they
stampeded for mud puddles and the gut
ters along the street and tried to drink
the dirty water which had collected there.

whose names are known to the Vanity
Fair company has made proposition TO
lease the entire property OF that com
pany for 10 years at $4,000 per year. paya-
bile quarterly In advance. The syndicate
will be capitalized at 100000 paid In, and
II proposes as one condition that an op-

II to purchase the property within Ave

"The only stipulation IL makes Is that
the Vanity Fair company will make an
agreement with it's creditors 80 that the
syndicate may conduct its business with
out being hampered In any way because
OF the company's AFFAIRS.
Although the creditors have had sew
eral meetings they are willing TO come to
any reasonable agreement while the Van
ity Fair company has done practically
nothing TO bring about n settlement, and
dissatisfied creditors are commencing at
tachment proceedings.
"A well directed effort. properly planned
and executed. will Insure speedy settle
ment OF the Vanity Fair companys af-
fairs. There are but few complications,
none OF them presenting any necessity for
recourse to the courts. Our clients take
no stand between the company and It's

OF Brockton, and Charles +. Murray, OF
Lynn, were barred from vote or office In
the national organization for a period OF
five years, after charges which they had
brought against the present administra-
ton were noted 10 DO without foundation.
Hickey and Murray were candidates FOR
president and vice-prestdent respectively,
OF the Boot and Shoe Workers at the las
election. and although receiving larger
vote than Tobin and Lovely. the present
occupants, were disqualified by the elec-
tion inspectors because OF alleged irregu-
larites in their votes.
There are six local unions In Lynn city,
and the majority OF the members are
regarded as favorng the Hickey Murray
faction. As the lasters are the first OF the
unions TO hold meeting since the con-
vention, II Is considered probable that
most OF the other unions in Lynn Will
take similar action when they meet.

Perhaps the most striking and utter

When one considers that the trees en-.

in admiration of the skill, enterprise
and industry necessary to produce such
a masterpiece. 1t is 81 feet long, Z feet

The boat has across it "a seats, the

says it carried 100 men with ease.
There Is a false bottom about two feet

fierce appearance of the warrior would
