The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1908-05-29

Plans have been filed with the rail-
road commission asking approval for
the new curves and connections be-
tween the relocated subway and Wash
ington street tunnel tracks and the
divergent overhead structures TO
Charlestown and East Cambridge. 1t Is
not likely that the East Cambridge
elevated road will be built before the
summer of 1909, but the elevated COM
pany is trying now 10 have the Wash
ington street tunnel in operation be-
fore next winter.
This calls for Temodelng the Hay
market square station so as to bring
the two tunnel tracks out on the in
cline side by side instead Of astraddle
the subway tracks, and also getting un-
der the relief hospital, The work will
be done this summer.
The plans for the overhead work are
almost revolutionary. The present
North station elevated station is to be
abolished and It's place is to be taken
Ivy two stations, in each of which the
platforms will be on the outside of
the tracks instead of in the form OF
islands" This will give passengers
more room. For the Charlestown
trains the new station is to be against
the facade Of the old Fitchburg sta
tion.

After spending last Sunday in per-
sonally inspecting various Sunday
amusements at Revere beach, Gen. j.
II. Whitney, chief of the state police,
who has been appointed the reviewing
authority in cases where ii Is sought TO
operate Sunday entertainments, said
that he had not discovered in the per-
formances that he had Witnessed any
thing that was in violation OF the law.
In one or two places he observed To-
cal conditions which he thought might
have called for action by certain local
authorities. But there was nothing
which he thought called for interfer-
ence on his part.
Gen Whitney said that he went only
10 Revere on that day as he did not
have time 10 visit more than one resort
in an afternoon. But he took In q
number OF the entertainment places.
As far as possible Goa. Whitney Will
personally see all performances for
which a Sunday license is required,
both In Boston and in the other sec
tions Of the state His aim is TO have
eliminated. since the duty rests upon
him, all parts Of Sunday entertainment
programs that may be offensive to the
spirit Of the Sunday law.

Word was received few days ago
by the commissioners of the Massachu-
setts nautical training school, that
their request for another ship, made
through the department, TO replace
the present ship Enterprise, had been
granted and that the department had
agreed TO turn the u. S. S. Ranger over
to the state school as permanent
home.
There has been much unrest with
both the commissioners and the officers
of the Enterprise. now anchored down
at Provincetown, as to the future OF
the school, owing To their inability TO
secure an appropriation to place the
Enterprise in a seaworthy condition.
With the arrival of the Ranger next
December the state school should take
new lease OF life. as did the
New York school when the Newport
was received last fall. Senator Lodge
and Congressman Weeks and Roberts
are credited with good work in secur-
ing the ship SO quickly.
The Ranger is now at Cavlte. Philip
pine islands. and according to the plans
of the navy department upon the ar
rival of the battleship fleet enough
short-term men from the ships will be
for the trip TO Boston. She is an iron
gunboat Of 1900 tons, and bark-rigged.
177 feet long.

The blow which knocked out Corbett

From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the Jaw,
