MORE REQUIREMENTS
 FOR THE HUNTERS.
License is Good from January First for
 Twelve Months.

Town clerks are receiving the blanks for hunters licenses for the coming season. Hunters will need to look af- ter these, as there are several things few thought anything about which will bear on the new issue.
 To commence with, the licenses are now understood to be good each year between January and January of the following year, so the blanks read. Just what the hunters who take out licenses will do is hard to say. but ac- cording to the blanks a license taken out now, in readiness for the opening of the general season, Oct. 1, will only be in force until Jan. 1, 1909, thus only giving the license three months for his investment. Since the license law went into effect the certificate has held good for one year from date of issue and many hunters have been in the habit of taking out their license at any old time they felt prepared to do so.
 Another change in the license is that the cost will now be S1.25 in place of S1.10. Another change, which is of vital importance to hunters, is that licenses must be taken out in the town in which the hunter resides. Hereto fore any hunter could take out license in any town. the license, which is not at all a local affair but state license, being good all over the state, so far as the statutes were concerned.
 There are a number of things in this which local hunters do not approve of, if the new act works according to in- formation supplied to the general pub lie. As a general rule the offices of country town clerks are not always accessible. Many residents in towns around cities work in the cities and cannot reach their own town clerks office during usual business hours. Consequently they choose to take out their license in the cities in some con- venient hour.
 One other matter which will work hardship in the enforcement of this new system is that those who hunt foxes and coons if they take out a license this fall for hunting, must take out another on Jan. 1, 1910. in order to enjoy the legal use of their guns during the latter part of the season.

MoOSUP YOUNG MAN
 ARRESTED ON SUSPICION
Parents Barn Burned Under Peculiar
 Circumstances.

John McNab, 36 years old, wanted in connection with a suspicious fire at the home of his parents in Moosup, was arrested Tuesday morning by Patrol man Higgins at the house of an ac- quaintance on Plainfield street, Provi- dence. Deputy Sheriff Bliven of Moo sup was notified and went to Provi- dence Tuesday morning and took the young man home with him.
 A fire occurred at the residence of George McNab in the village Monday and the flames quickly consumed a barn and burned a horse to death. Shortly afterward the house was seen to be afire and after much trouble the neighbors broke in the doors and rush ing into the sitting room discovered a pile of excelsior placed near the side of the room and saturated with kero- sene oil. Under the excelsior candle was discovered, showing conclusively that the fire had been incendiary. Through good work alone the fire in the house was eXtinguished with but little damage. The barn, however, was completely destroyed and the loss to MT. McNab will be in the neighbor- hood of $1,50O.
 The McNabs had gone to the city on the o'clock train and John McNab had been left in charge. He was the only one to have key and after the fire he could not be found. Deputy Sheriff Bliven started an investigation and the detention of John McNab on suspicion is the result.

Final Games Of Roque Tourney
Tie for Second Honors Played Off by Clark and Rudd the Former Winning Local Tournament is Expected to be Arranged

The final games in the national roque tournament for 1909 were played on Tuesday for the purpose of decid- ing the holder of second place in the tourney. The leaving of Champion Williams at time when matters were at climax, owing to the necessity of getting back home, left Tracy Rudd and Edward Clark tied for second hon. ors. As there had been four rounds of the three cornered tie played it was decided best that a series of five games should be played, the winner of three to have the honor.
 The first game was called shortly be- fore noon, and contrary to the previous efforts to dissolve the tie, Clark was able to beat Rudd and took the first game without much trouble. In the afternoon the second game was start ed, and, as in the first, Clark defeated Rudd, and followed up his winning streak by taking the third and decid- ing game. Rudd did not get the chances of the evening before, and both showed the effects of their late play Monday night although Rudd at that time was invincible as far as Clark was concerned, and took three straight games from the ex-champion at that time. The winning of the three games on Tuesday afternoon, however. gave Clark the second place medal, which is similar to the national trophy, although of silver, whereas the other was of gold. In getting second place Clark is following in the footsteps of the new champion. Tn 1907 Bosworth won the national honor, to be beaten in 1908 by

Clark, who won the distinction, Bos- worth getting second. Bosworth this year goes to the front again, and Clark takes second, so that each now has all the medals obtainable in that divi- sion.
 Tourney for Local Club.
 It is expected that a. tournament for the members of the local club will now be started, to be opened in a short time for the purpose of stimulating an interest in the game and bettering the courts by more use.
 The tournament plans have not been perfected as yet, but it is understood that there will be two or three valuable prizes for the contestants, which 1t IS belived will lend interest to the sport. On one of the second division courts Mr. Dickey has already placed a strip of the wagon rubber tire for the bor- der. and it is working very satisfac- torily.
 When he left for home, c. c. King of Evanston, H., carried with him a set of arches like those used on the local courns. He has one of the finest courts in the country at his home, but his arches are of iron and they give to the hard driven balls, but the local steeel arches resist and make the arches more difficult to make. He had no trouble in making many home runs on his own grounds, but here the arches bothered and he took home a set to get the full henefit of Lhe game as it should be played. Next year he promises 70 be prepared to make arches at any old angle.

MOTOR INSTALLED
 FOR SILK MILL
Plant Will Be Running on Thursday Sure. says President Neuberger.

After unexpected delay caused by the non-arrival of electric motors, the new Westerly Silk Mill company plant in the new indtsurial building at the corner of Franklin and Chestnut streets, will start running on Thurs day morning, according to the state ment of President Alfred Neuburger, who was at the plant Tuesday after noon and has been here for several days. The 10-horsepower motor for the second floor arrived late Monday, was installed Tuesday and today the electric lights will be put up, com pleting the equipment of the mill all ready for starting.
 Superintendent Cole is in Westerly looking after the removal of the office fixtures and the nine quilting, reeling and tubing frames, which have been kept in operation there while this mill was in preparation. The machines in Westerly will all be shipped tonight by trolley in one consignment, it is expected and will be at the mill here Thursday morning, ready to be put in position.
 As soon as President Neuburger found out Monday that the last motor was here, he telegraphed to New York for a bale of silk and this arrived Tuesday, so that there is material on hand to work on, and some spooled silk will also be brought from Westerly. making it possible for all departments to begin work.
 Already about Is or 20 women have been hired, and President Neuburger said Tuesday that he was well pleased with the character of the help that had applied as he thought this showed there would be no difficulty about get ting good help. Most of those who have been hired are eXperienced help but several of the Westerly people will be brought here to instruct the begin ners and there will be places for a good number of this latter class. Within a short time it is expected that the number of hands employed at the mill will be well up towards 80.
 Nothing has yet been done about fix ing up the office accommodations on the main floorfi but this will be looked after as soon as this most recent ad- dition to the city's industries gets run ming
