Involuntary but accurate limitation of a lump of coal cost William Thompson of No. 15 Bowery an hour of fright yesterday afternoon at Deiancey street work on a coal pocket and needed to get to its opposite side. He ordinarily would have walked around the edge, but water thrown on the coal had frozen and he tried a short cut.
 when Thompson was in the center of the coal the ice broke and he went through with a yell The other work men were amazed tO see him sink rapidly as if in a quicksapd Thomp son went down and down till the coal no longer be seen, his. screams were audible. Employes of the yard all rushed out and tried to help, police reserves joined the rescue squad and every'bory was working like mad, while Thompson's muffied cries rose from farther and farther in the coal
 Then someone sent for fire truck No. IS and. with greater experience. its foreman ordered his men to pull out the side of the pocket. which rose about 25 feet. Hooks and axes soon made a hole about seven feet from the Thompson came pouring out, ooo, in a minute. but the coal refused to for sake him.

 Why can't We2 MT. Wood would be gladly heard from in answer, but he offers no opinion or explanation. Did he have in mind the fact. as he wrote this letter. that the year 1891 marked the application of higher protection than ever to wool and that under this high protection, applied through the Mckinley and then the Dingley tariff law, the great decline in New England sheep raising has gone on? Did the thought wanderingly turk in his mind that thiclxly settled England, with 2s times more sheep to the square mile than New England, has free trade in wool?
 By all means let the resourceful Secretary Wilson give his special az tention to this- matter; and while wait ing for his conclusions. will not Ar. Wood agree that to all appearances tariff protection on wool is worse shan useless to all of this country save the

WESTERLY BOARD OF TRADE ACTS
Committee Authorized Get James A. WeIchs Price for Propery-Site May be Utilized for Combined Town Hall and County Court Building-Town Have Silk Throwing Industry Again-D. A. R. Prize Essay Sub- iects Announced.

A committee of the Westerly board of trade has been authorized to con- suit with James A. Welch relative to the purchase of the burned properties, and ascertain whether he would be willing to part with his possession, and. if so at what price. There is a sentiment in Westerly that the prop efty should be secured, if possible, for site for a new town hall, for which there is a great need. If this could be effected, there would be no more stables in Dixon square, and the town would be better served by having a town hall with the town clerks and other town offices better accommodat- ed.
 Should Mr. We1ch consent to name a reasonable price the committee of the board of trade believes that the ways and means for the purchase could be arranged and that later the state could be induced to join with the town and erect a. building suitable for town and court uses. the structure to be joint town hall and county court build ing like the one located in Norwich, although perhaps not so large or inn posing. The committee is soon to ar range for 8 meeting with MT. Welch. so that if an option is to be held on the property it be obtained before MT. Welch commences rebuilding
 There has been some talk that a plan was on foot for the purchase Of the First Baptist church, which ad joins the Welch property, so that the town would then own the entire prop erty from the Dixon house to Union street and Broad street, and back to that section of Union street that ex- tends into Main street, and on a part of which is located the present apolo- gy for a town hall One of the ofh- cers and very active members of the church, stated that he believed the talk of acquiring the church property was simply talk and nothing more. He said the church property was not for sale.
 In the event of the Welch property being devoted to public uses with ten dency of a beautifcation of the sec tion, 1t is believed that the First Ba,p- tist church edifice would be materially improved.
 The silk throwing industry is to be revived in Westerly, starting in 8 mod crate basis with expectation of grad gual growth. Several years ago Wash burn & Son of Coventry, Conn, were engaged in the business here, and were evolved into the Westerly Silk com pany. since removed to Norwich Now William Washburn, the junior member of the former firm. is about to start the business here again, with Martin Morgan, former Well-known Vest erly silk worker, as superintendent.
 MT. Washburn has leased the sec street and is busily engaged in estab- fishing the plant, expecting to begin operations within two weeks. Elec- tricity will be used as motive power and if business warrants the entire building will be leased and supplied with machinery and give employment to many people of Westerly.

AUDITORIUM SEASON TO CLOSE
Tuesdays Play Last of the Seasons
Attractions

"The White Squaw" which appears
at the Auditorium Tuesday, June 7,
will practically close the house for this
season and should receive a large at
tendance as it is an Eastern play of
unusual merit, presented by finished ac-
tors.
Special scenic devices are used in
this beautiful comedy drama. A full
sized bark wigwam, showing a large
collection of Indian relics which has
taken years and great deal of money
collect, is of great interest. The gun
carried by Jaques Cautier, the French
Canadian trapper, was once owned by
the great chief Pontiac. The watch
which is used by Michabo, was carried
in the war of 1912 by Col. Kingsbury,
the great grandfather of the author of
the play. The clay dishes, tomahawks,
bows and arrows might all tell wonder
ful tales could they speak.

WILL MAKE GOOD ROAD.
Commercial Club and Village Trustees
Decide Upon Improvement.

A special meeting of the Commercial
club was held Thursday evening for the
purpose of comforting with the village
trustees upon the matter of making
permanent good road through the sand
north of town. At the instance of
Judge Oliver the sandy stretch was
measured last week and found to be
1000 feet across. At his suggestion
William Upton made an estimate of
the cost of covering the road with a
layer of manure covered by eight in
ches of clay, the latter to be kept
sprinkled until thoroughly packed, pla-
cling it at $3.50, and agreed to do it for
that amount. The roadbed included in
his proposal was not as wide as the
members of the club thought it should
be and Judge Oliver, A. Rowberry and
R. B. Greenwood were appointed to
make such contract with Mr.. Upton
as the funds at their commad would
