Senator Louis W. Arnold of Wester- ly chairman of the finance committee, has presented a resolution to increase the salary of the lieutenant governor to $1,500 a year. This is an increase of $1,000. Senator Arnold declared that it is but right in view of the increased duties of that official, which includes presiding at sessions of the senate under the amended constitution.
 The senator on a previous occasion stated in a speech that he stood for economy and was opposed to the indis- criminate increase of salaries. He de- tended his present attitude by saying that under the old law the lieutenant governors compensation was but little more than was paid to clerks of com mittees. The new order of things made the office more dignified and import ant, and called for larger salary He said there was no collision with the lieutenant governor in the matter.
 Arthur S. Russ of New London is in the Rhode Island hospital for treat ment of injuries received by a. fall in Providence Thursday evening.

He struck on his head and shoulders. was severly cut and bruised and ren- dered unconscious. The hospital sur geions do not consider his condition dangerous.
