SUPERIOR COURT IN WESTERLY
Continuance Granted in Barber Appeal CaseDefault Case of Maxson Barber-Chapman Cases Eeing Tried Jointly-Favorable Reports from Noyes M. Clark.

The superior court for Washington county, Judge Stearns, convened in special session in Westerly Monday, for the trial of local cases. The first case assigned for trial was the appeal from probate in which Manley T. Bar Der ct al. contest the will of Potter Barber. A representative of Attorney Edwards of Providence stated that Mr. Edwards was called into this case last week, that he was now engaged in the superior court at Providence, could not therefore be in Westerly, and asked that the case be continued.
 Attorney Cushing of Providence, of counsel for .appellees, obpected to continuance, as there was no objec- tion at the time of assignment that it was the first case to be tried at the Westerly session. He, too had a case in the superior court for Providence, but had arranged to have this case tried as assigned. All the witnesses for appellees had been summoned and he did not think that the expense of the case should be unnecessarily in- creased.
 Judge Stearns granted continu- ance and ordered that all expense in cured by counsel for appellees be paid by appellants before trial at the next session of the court
 The case of J. Irving Maxson against William h. 6drker, upon mOJlOn or Judge John W. Sweeney, was default ed by reason of appearance. This is an action to recover $725.6s, bal ance due for lumber and building material furnished. Judgment was given for recovery of full amount. The question of the charges of the trustee will be heard later.
 After listening to arguments by Attorney Barney, representing the town of Westerly, and Attorney Swee- ney, representing Courtland P. Chap man, the court decided that the two cases by the same plaintiff against the town should be tried jointly.
 The following jurors were selected to try the Chapman case: Augustus B. Herrick, Thomas Holsworth, Irving P. Arnold, Albert w. Hazard, Martin Haggerty of North Kingstown; Thom- as Rodman, Charles A. Woods and William A. Leslie, South Kingstown; Isaac c. Ellis of Richmond; Wilfred B. Congdon, Narragansett; Edward A. Gordon and Moses H. Main, of Hop- kinton.
 Judge Sweeney, counsel f6r MT. Chapman, stated to the jury that there

good health, with it's blessings, must un- derstand, quite clearly, that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best, each hour of recreation, of enjoy ment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living aright. Then the use of medicines may be dis pensed with to advantage, but under or dinary conditions in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invalu- able if taken at the proper time and the California Fig Syrup Co. holds that it is alike important to present the subject truthfully and to supply the one perfect laxative to those desiring it.

were two distinct cases to be consid- cred, one for trespass brought against James M. Pendleton as town treasurer and the other was in the nature of an appeal from the action of the Wester- .ly town council. Early in 1907 the council voted to improve the Watch Hill road. and made contract with the T. H. Gill company to do over $20,000 worth of work.
 This work was completed before the town council had authorized the lay out in accordance with law. After the contractor had completed work and the new highway was in use, the town council ordered a layout, as sub stitute for the former illegal action, and appointed committee composed of James A. Welch, John T.. Edmond and Albert Crandal as disinterested persons, with authority to lay out the highway and assess the damages. This committee was appointed in November, 1908. and in April 1909. reported and the report was opposed by the town council. The committee could not come to an agreement, with MT. Chap sman. The council gave hearing on the report and fixed MT. Chapman's dam age at s275. whereupon appeal was taken to the superior court.
 Claim is made that more land was taken than was necessary, that MT. Crandall was a member of a former town council that had acted in this matter, and was therefore not a dis interested person; tht the committee did not make the layout for the public good and with as little damage to property as possible that the com mittee exercised no judicial judgment and that the report was simply an echo of the Westerly town council.
 At the suggestion of Attorney Bar ney. who is being assisted by Attor- ney Kingsley, court took recess to give the judge and jury, accompanied by counsel for both sides, opportunity to visit the premises under lconsidera- tion. The party was taken in a spe- cial trolley car to the Chapman prop erty on the Watch Hill road.

POSTAGE COLOR SCHEME

Because of the confusion Often ex-
perienced by the public and the pos
tai service on account OF different
denominations in like colors, Post
master General Hitchcock is Consid-
ering the advisabilitY of printing
some of the stamps on colored pap
er.
The difficulty heretofore expert
enced has been due to the lack of
sufficient strongly contrasting colOrs
for so many denominations. This
has made it necessary to use inks
of different shades of the same cOlors.
The result is that the 1-cent green
stamp is confused with the Scent
olive; the Scent purple with The So
cent lavender: the 5-cent dark blue
with the lucent light blue, and the
Scent orange with the 10-cent yell
low. 1t is believed the use Of color
ed paper will make the stamps
readily distinguishable, under arti-
fetal as well as natural light.
