In compliance with a vote of the
court of common council and acting
upon the request of the police com,
n1ittee, the prosecuting attorney has
requested the chief of the state po-
lice to send some of his sleuths to
New London, motorcycles and all, to
aid the local police in enforcing all the
laws relati to automobiles and to
these modern vehicles that years and
Shipton, which is perhaps all right

has been INDUCED in of late, but per-
haps it would have been just as we'll to
have instructed the local police to en-
force the Automobile laws and then, il
they failed called for the assistance of
such of the state police as are train
ed in that particular line of work.
Under the head of reckless driving
it is to be hoped that public vehicles
will not be omitted from their oDserva-
ton, but that a. sharp lookout will be
made of the drivers of these vehicles
to see to it that they are not under
the influence of intoxicating liquor when
soliciting for passengers or when they
have passengers in their custody.
This does not signify that the drivers
of motor vehicles in New London are
all addicted to use of strong drink, for
they are not. But there is at least one
chauffeur who has been seen driving
his vehicle when he was too drunk to
walk straight and there may be
others.

public from the use of the beach upon
which the Griscom property fronted
The. matter was taken up by the
Westerly town council and the OBJ
struction was removed forthwith. and
now that fence ends where the es-
tablished high water mark begins. The
law that govern such matters at
Watch Hill is the same law that
govern the sea coast><of the whole
United States
1t would be well for the court of
common council of the city of New
London to take this important matter
into consideration, for already some
beach property owners actually believe
that their property rights extend over
the water as far as the eye can reach
on a clear day, and that the public
including the fishermen have no beach
rights that these people are bound to
respect.
OF course it is the duty of the city
of New London to remove anything
that is prejudicial to the public health,
or anything else that is Objectionable,
below high water mark within the ter
ritorial limits of the city, for the
beaches belong to the public and NOT
to abutting property owners, that is
below high water mark.

not known to the news gatherers and
who help make the notes that will
furnish history for the future gener-
ations- This week announcement was
made of the death of Hezekiah Mum
sci at the age of eighty Eight. That was
his only obituary, but had he died haIt
century ago when he was one of the
dandies of the town, known and
respected by everybody in the city,
there might have been "a more public
announcement made.
Mr. Munsell was a barber by oc-
scupation and over fifty years ago had
the barber shop in the basement of the
old Bacon hotel, on the site of the
present Hotel Royal. He also had shops
In other locations and as there were
no safety razors in those days, nor
50 many Rarbers here, he did quite a
business. Mr .MunseH worked at his
trade until his eyes failed him over
ten years ago and since then he has
disappeared from the lime light and
evidently was known only to those
Mr.. MunselI or his assistants, in the
basement of the Bacon hotel.
Health Officer Black ordered own
ers of property abutting the water
front below the Peauot to clear the
prejudicial to the public health, and
he was politely and pleasantly in
formed that if there was any beach
cleaning to be done it was up to the
city of New London to do the work, as
the beach below high water mark was
not private property. OF course that
fast is generally known but it is not
acknowledged by all owners of
property abutting the beach land o.
New London. Adjoining the very plot

In the particular location where the
heavy stone walls extend beyond even
the low water mark, there is no di-
rect access to the beach, nor is there
for quite distance on either side.
But there is, or was a public way to
the beach that one had the right to
close, which extends from Pequot
avenue in front of the Norris proper

that way and walk on the sands in

WEST SIDE RANCHER
TRIES IRRIGATING SPUDS

Chehalis, Oct. IA. s. Judd, q
farmer of the Newaukum valley, liv-
ing south of Chehalis, tried irrigat-
ing tract of land on which he grew
a potato crop this season.
He had Az acres In tubers. The
land is sandy river bottom. He irri-
gated three acres by pumping water
with gasoline engine from the Ne
waukum FLYER. The first water was
applied in July, and q partial wetting
given the land later.
His potatoes on the irrigated part
yielded 155 sacks to the acre, which,
at $24 ton, netted him nearly 5000.
His crop was planted late, and Mr..
Judd believes that an earlier plant
ing would have yielded even better.

SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
HARLAN PASSES AWAY

Washington, Oct. 16.-With JUS
tice Harlan's death, which occurred
Saturday, after a week of illness, the
opportunity has fallen to President
Taft to select during his single term
in office a majority of the members
of the supreme court, including the
chief justice, duty that has de-
volved upon no other president since
Washington formed the court in 1890.
Gossip as to the probable success
sor of Justice Harlan has begun.
Some persons believe his successor
will come from the cabinet, Attorney
General Wickersham, SECRETARY of
State Knox, and Secretary of Com
merce and Labor Nagel being men
Among lawyers of progressive
tendencies, Senators Kenyon of Iowa
and Borah of Idaho were mentioned.
Another group was, responsible
for the suggestion that there should
be another democrat.
The names thus mentioned were
Solicitor General Lehman, Law
renee Maxwell of Cincinnati, and
District Judge Gordon Russell of
Texas.
Dissenting Opinions Well Known.
Senator Sutherland of Utah, q
leading constitutional lawyer of the
senate, and Judge Francis ]. Swayze
of New Jersey also figured in the
gossip.
Justice Harlan's dissenting opin-
ions we're known more widely than
those wherein he joined with the
majority. Notable among these were
his opinions in the Standard Oil and
Tobacco, so-called trust cases, the
income tax, insular and Knight cases,
the last named involving the So
called sugar trust.
If Justice Harlan had lived until
June his term of service would have
exceeded that of any other supreme
court justice nearly thirty-five years.

CALIFORNIA SUFFRAG|STS
WIN OUT ON FINAL COUNT

San Francisco, Oct. 14.-Woman
suffrage has triumphed in California
Complete official returns from g.
ST. precincts out of 1921 in the
state give:
For woman's suffrage, 1880;
against, 117,779; majority for suf-
frage, 2,051.
The remaining precincts are in re-
mote mountain districts and their
returns are not expected to change
this majority greatly.
In the aggregate they should
slightly increase the suffrage lead,
as most of them are in counties that
gave majorities for the amendment.

DDS of Analysing these returns, wo-
men leaders in the movement for the
right of franchise gave up in despair
when the populous precincts of San
Francisco and Alameda counties
rolled up their adverse majorities
early Tuesday night.
Despair gave way.to hope through
out Wednesday, when returns from
south of the Tehachapi and from the
interior counties of Central and
Northern California began to cut
down the margin against the amend
ment. For time the totals see
sawed, first showing suffrage gains,
then yeering in the opposite direc-
ton.
Finally the tide set in steadily to-
ward suffrage victory Precinct af-
ter precinct reporting thereafter cut
down the anti-suffrage lead until
it had disappeared and in it's place
was a steadily growing margin in
favor of the amendment.
