IN AND ABOUT WESTERLY
Rhode Island Law of Advantage to Carl Shaw-Grand
ARM Comrades at Funeral of John McCulloch-
Lightning Strikes Cottage Pleasant View-Golden
Jubilee at St. Michael's Church July 16-New
Assistant Library.

A man who gave his name as Carl
Shaw, and who was planning an ad-
vertising scheme, was arraigned be-
fore Judge Williams in the Third dis
trict court Friday. charged with be-
ing drunk and disorderly. He plead ed
guilty and was fined So and costs, a
total of $3.50. He received the SEN
tence smilingly, and smiled when he
informed the chief of police he could
not pay the penalty. He had evidently
been arrested for drunkenness before
in some place in Rhode Island. for he
knew it was not the custom to send
those sentenced for a plain drunk to
the state institution at CranSton, ow-
ing to the expense that would fall up
on the town, and that his release up
on promise to pay was only q matter
of a short time.
BY the laws of the state, the town
IL compelled to bear the whole ex-
pense in cases of this nature. 1t would
cost the town of Westerly about 81
to commit Shaw and the town would
also be required to pay SO week for
his board so long as he remained at
the state institution. The costs in the
case however, $40, must be paid
to the state, by the town, and comes
from a police fund that is raised for
such purposes.
Alexander Lappan of Potter Hill did
not fare as we'll as did Mr.. Shaw,
for his was case of a different shade.
He was arrested for drunkenness on
Wednesday night and fined in court
Thursday morning, and in the early
afternoon arrested for a like offence
and carted to the police station in an
express wagon. In court he was ar
raigned upon complaint of being
common drunkard. In answer to the
complaint he declared that although
he had been drunk on Wednesday and
on Thursday he was not common
6runkard. When the court explained
that a person who had been proven
to have been drunk three times within
six weeks is a common drunkard as
defined in the statutes, Lappan plead
ed guilty to the charge. He was SEN
fenced to six months in the state
workhouse.
In the case of Matt Hazard against
Louis Dotolo, an action to recover for
damages to wagon by collision in
Dixon square, and which was tried at
the previous session of court, Judge
Williams gave decision for defend
ant. Attorney Ledwidge gave notice
of appeal to the superior court.
Horace Sisson proved his claim of
s1s2.07 against E. Charles Travers,
and received judgment for that
amount.

SAYS CAN AMEND
SECRETARY CONSTITUTES PRovi-
sloNs OF AGREEMENT.
Wood Pulp and Paper Sections Of
Reciprocity Pact May Be Amend
ed Before Ratification.

Washington. That the wood pulp
and paper sections of the Cana
dian trade agreement can be amended
without causing unnecessary delay in
its ratification Is the construction
placed upon that pact by Secretary
OF State Knox in a letter to Serene
Payne, chairman Of the house ways
and means committee.
This fact was brought out at a hear
ing given by the committee to oppo-
nents Of the paper and wood pulp pro.
visions.
The statement last week of Chair
man Payne that the agreement must
stand or fall as whole, and that
amendments could not be made, was
Interpreted by Mr.. Fordney as indica.
ting that no change could be made in
the paper or pulp wood schedules. Mr..
Mccall, speaking for Chairman Payne,
who was absent, said that this pro.
hibition against amendments would
not extend to the sections indicated.
Secretary Knox explained in his let
ter to the committee that the United
States and Canadian commissioners
had reached no unalterable agreement
on the paper and pulp wood sections.
and that the final construction Of that
schedule is left to the committee
which has the bill.

two in combination may be used to
successfully frame all kinds of pic.

Through Open Draw When Brakes
Fail to Work.

Sheboygan, Wis.-Imprisoned help
lessly in a speeding trolley car. three
women were drowned when the car
plunged into the Sheboygan river
through the open draw of the Eighth
street bridge here.
The dead: Miss Anna Mather, aged
fifty-three. Sheboygan Falls. music
teacher; Miss Tannie VanO uwekerk,
aged sixteen, kindergarten teacher;
Miss Olga Willimite, Sheboygan, a
waitress.
MotormAn George Theme aand Con-
ductor Frank Weber were saved, as
were two other passengers. one of
whom was Paul o. Etzold, a travelling
salesman from Milwaukee. They es-
capped death by jumping just before
the car plunged into the river.
The death Of the three women is
probably due to stumble by Etzold.
AS he rushed out Of the car he fell
and the three women fell over him.
He regained his feet and leaped from
the car, but the women behind him
were trapped.
The rails were slippery and the
imotorman was unable to set his
brakes. He made an attempt to es-
cape as the car plunged from the
bridge into the river.
