The annual banquet of the Westerly

The annual banquet of the Westerly board of trade ill the Dixon house, Thursday night. was a decidedly sue cessful event and was enjoyed by 132 members and their guests. The large dining room was decorated with flags and the tables were prettily arranged and ornamented with cut flowers. President Alberti R. StilIman presided and the speakers were President w. H. P Faunce of Brown university, Hon. George w. Gardiner collector of the port of Providence. John Mckinley of New London, president of the state board of trade. The banquet was opened at $50 and terminated at one o'clock
 The menu was elaborate and the service satisfactory. The post pran- dial exercises were opened by Presi- dent Stillman, with brief remarks, in which he outlined the work of the Westerly board of trade for the en- suing year. He then introduced Pres- ident Faunce, who gave an interesting address on What Business Has Right to Demand of Education, which was fully appreciated, as evidenced by the enthusiastic applause. MT. Gardiner was the next speaker. He spoke in- terestingly and at length on Reciproc- ity With Canada. He declared that products of Canada are not as much appreciated as they should be. It should be remembered, he said, that Canada borders the United States for nearly 5000 miles. It Is possible for people in this section to conceive that the Dominion of Canada there would be great possibilities for the devel- opment of the trade and industries of that country and a recfprocating advantage for the United States.

The speaker stated that he desired to avoid the Scyua and Cha rybdis of politics apn the one side and official characterization on the other. He compared the attitude of the coun- try in the earlier reciprocity acts to that of . man with Q club, and the latter acts to an invitation to come in and sit down at our table, while we talked the affairs over. MT. Me- Ginley was the last speaker. He in- dulged in many pleasantrfes in extoll- ing the virtues of Connecticut and re- ferred to the proposed wornans col lege at New London and it's resultant benefits to the state. John D.

He wrote: The boards of trade am completely in sympathy with, knowing that although they cannot build 1ndustries~and in vest moneys that they can by united influence do grs aT W srk. in making the towns better in g respects"

TEDDY RECALLS
RECALL CLAUSE
OF JUDICIARY
Especial from United Press. J


Phoenix, Ariz., March 20.-In the
first formal speech he has delivered
since he began his southwestern trip,
Colonel Roosevelt, today, assailed the
clause in the new Arizona constitu-
tfon providing for the recall of the
judiciary.
Though he attacked the application
OF the recall to the judiciary, Colonel
Roosevelt defended Arizona's right to
put such provision in her constitu-
ton as she wished.
II do not agree with the form in
which Arizona has adopted the re-
call, especially as regards the judi
CARY" he said, in part, "but while /
regret that Arizona adopted the re-
call in this fashion, I insist that it is
a matter purely for Arizona's decis-
ion. Neither the opinion of myself
nor of any other outsider should have
the slightest bearing on Arizoia's
right to the privilege of statehood
What New York's or Texas views
may be have nothing to do whatever
with Arizona's fight to her own views
1T is difficult to discuss seriously
the assertion that the adoption of
the initiative, referendum and recall
make form of government that is
not Republican. Switzerland has all
three and to say Switzerland is not
a republic is simply a contradiction
in terms. No one would be taken
seriously should he assert that Ore
gon and California, in form of gov
ernme nt, were not as absolutely Re-
publican as Connecticut,fi Pennsyl-
vania or Mississippi"

Some Of the reasons why a French

correspondent Of Paris newspaper
He has been trying to get married fol

French marriage law is tricky thins
to deal with. If the prospective bride
groom has not lived more than six
months at his address at the time o.
the marriage be must get certificate
signed by the landlord and concierge
of every house where be has lived pre-

he did live for six months. Birth Ger

consent of parents.
AS no paper must bear date more
than two months old. 1T often happens
that the marriage must be postponed
to get the papers renewed. The man
who had been foiled for three years
once succeeded in making all his pa
pers correct. when he was called up
for his periodical term of military
service. and this threw his papers out

BARNUM AVENUE :
WIDENING TO BE
HEARD TONIGHT
This and Other Matters to
Come Before Common
Council This Evening.

Before the board Of aldermen this
evening hearings will be held upon a
number of proposed improvements as
follows:
Upon the resolution of Alderman
Hugh j. Lavery for the widening of
Barnum avenue from Noble avenue to
Seaview avenue.
Upon the petition of G. l.. Beach for
a change of grade in Pixlee street.
Upon the petition of Samuel Shaw
for the estate of Samuel Sanford for
the establishment of an eight foot
building line in Vine street, between
Park avenue and Coleman street.
Upon the petition of F. E. Derrick
ct al for the establishment of an eight
foot building line On both sides of
Carleton avenue from North avenue to
Beechwood avenue.
Upon the construction of a sewer
in Waterman street from Stratford
avenue to within 100 feet from Con-
necticut avenue.A
1t is understood that there is con-
siderable opposition to the widening of
Barnum avenue opposite Washington
Park where it will be necessary to re-
move about a score of huge shade
trees. 1t Is understood that the pro-
posed plan will require only one foot
to be taken from either side of the
street, but this will require the re-
moval of the trees just the same.

Fascination of the Third Rail.

Fascination of the Third Rail.
'sYou can talk all you want about
the way some people want to jump OF
tall buildings, but the men who walk
the elevated tracks can sympathize
with them" said man the other da!
whose business it is to work along the
elevated railroad lines and see thai
everything is in good condition.
"Trackwalkers often have the same
impulse to step on the third rail that
climbers have to jump. You walk
along and see that shining rod Of steel
and watch the sunlight glisten on it.
and then the thought comes to you.
If step on that it will kill me- and
then you wonder how it would feel to
just put your toe on it. OF course
fellow shakes those ideas off his mind
but they keep coming back. and
have known more than one man who
has quit his job because he was afraid
that he couldn't fight off much longer
the impulse<sto stand on the track and
put the other foot on the third rail.

being killed by the third rail l won
der if the fascination of the third rail

Player On B. III. S. Foot
ball Team.

Russell, youngest son of Police Cap
tain John H. and Ellen Redgate, died
this morning shortly after o'clock at
operation for the removal of tumor-
ed kidney. He was II years and one
month old, the youngest Of four boys.
The patient had been confined to his
home under the care Of DR.. John c..

malady assumed an acute stage. when
the young man had a hemorrhage of
the kidney. Realizing that the youth
was in a serious shape. DR.. Lynch adj
vised, and his father consented. to his
removal to the hospital. Prof. Peck,
a specialist with the Roosevelt hos
pital, New York, was called. Arriv-
ing late yesterday afternoon at the
hospital. assisted by Drs. Lynch and
B. B. F1nklestone, the house surgeon,
