Jshn Leglis, aged 16, in the employ of his brother, Peter, and who drives an ice cream wagon, was held up and robbed in Lower Pawca tuck Wednes- day night He was driving slowly along Mechanic street disposing of his frozen product when young fellow stepped up to the wagon and engaged a gallon of ice cream, provided John would deliver 1t at the house, and this was agreed to. The young fellow took the reins and drove down Mechanic street When near the thread mill, Lsgiis protested against going farther. but he was assured that the house was near by, and they went on.
 Finally the fellow stopped in front 5f the house and said he would go in and get something to hold the cream. When hs came out Leglis noticed two other fellows standing near. Then the expectant purchaser got into the wag on and, pointing a revolver at Leglis, told him to hand over the money he possessed, or he would be killed. Leglis handed over the contents of one pocket, about $5 In another pocket was about 50 pennies, but the highwayman told Legis to keep the change. He also warned him, under pain of death. to keep the transaction secret.
 As soon as Leglis drove back to the business center of the village he re- ported the robbery to Deputy Sheriff Casey and on reaching Westerly re- ported the facts to Chief of Police Bransfield. The description given of the thief tallies with that of a local young man who has been under Sus- p$c1on for some time. As he could not be located after the robbery, the police authorities believe they are on the trau of the guilty man.
 There have been several holdups ra- ported in the vicinity of Potter Hill and North Stonington of late and the man suspected in the Leglis transac- ton may be connected with these crimes.
 There has been complaint of the scarcity of water, or, rather, the lack Of pressure, at the Misquamicut Golf club grounds by the board of managers and the matter was taken up with Thomas Mckenzie. superintendent of waterworks. It was explained that ths trouble was that more water was re- qalred then the one and one half inch service pipe could supply, and the only way for satisfactory service was larger sized supply pipe, which would mean quite an expense to the club.
 II was decided, however, to have an abundance of water on the premises; the club mana cement arranged with the water department for a four and one-half inch water main. About 1,600 feet of pipe will be required. The work VIII be done under the supervision of Superintendent Mckenzie.

ROADS ARE
EXCEEDING BAD

Seldom indeed has there been such
wretched condition of public roads
and streets as exist now. Roads that
in the fall We're in good condition, are
now horribly bad, and some roads in
the rural districts are almost impassi-
BILE.
Farmers who have been hauling
are in despair. A team cannot pro-
gresS at all with any dray. In some
localities drive miles out of the way
to strike a better piece of roadway, and
in some instances the roads for a
short distance are abandoned altogeth-
er, and teams are driven into and
across the fields.
Road makers and overseers have
their work cut out for them when
weather conditions improve, and it will
take lot of time and some money
before the highways are in shape.

MAY Be BUT
SINGLE TELEPHONE
Interstate Company May
Be Absorbed.
RESULTS SATISFACTORY
Bell Telephone and Western Union
Telegraph May Control Practi-
cally All the Business.

1t is intimated that great changes
| will occur within the next twelve
months relative to the great telephone
systems of this country.
]. F. Morgan, the worlds greatest
financier, is gathering up the indie
pendent telephone concerns in the in
terests of the American Telephone
Company, which is the corporation
that controls all of the Bell concerns.
Recently many of the independent
companies have been absorbed and
others are being taken
The Continental Telephone Company
is fairly big concern which contracts
good many subsidiary companies.
among them being the Interstate
Company which has very consider
able business in this country. The
Continental has had considerable trou-
BILE financially and has changed hands
recently.
The American Telephone Company
hal also acquired interest in the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
and telephone and telegraph are now
working in harmony.
There are many people who declare
that interests of the public will be
better served with one great telephone
company than with two, as in this
city, or several, as in other cities,
Under our present conditions, business
neefl, are required to carry both sys-
TENS at double the expense of one,
and the dual system proves as amaz-
ing as it is expensive. 1t is argued
that if the single system increased
rates one third greater, it would be
far cheaper than carrying both sys-
tens.
The danger of the public being i'm
posed. upon by monopoly is far less
than ever before, because telephone
and telegraph companies are now pub
lie utility corporations that are under
supervision and control of the Public
Utilities Commission, and undoubtedly
this Commission in New Jersey, as in
other States, will be given absolute
control even to the regulation of rates.
With this knowledge the public feel
that a single telephone system may be
of great advantage, and better service
at lesser expense will prevail, should
the American Telephone Company
handle all the business. The connec-
ton of the Bell Companies with the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
has already brought about many ad
vantages.

DEVELOPMENTS
IN THIEv|NG
The Police Are Working on
Cases.
SaEPPARD'S CLEAR TALE.
Justice Lore Visits the Gypsy Camp
and Makes a Complete Search
of the Place.

All day yesterday the police were
engaged in clearing up the slot meter
robberies, and considerable more was
learned that will be advantageous
when the cases are brought into Court.
Justice Lore had young Harold Shep-
pard from Jail and interviewed him at
length. The father of the boy also
had conference with him. The boy
is thoroughly penitent, and yesterday
he went over the entire situation and
in detail reviewed all of the jobs that
he and Howard Riley had been en-
gagged in. The boy corrected some
OF the testimony that he had given the
day before, and offered several sug-
gestions, that cleared up some matters
which have been puzzling
Howard Riley remained in the lock
up all day yesterday He continues to
withhold much information, and as yet
is willing to confess but to three jobs.
He is much more hardened than Shep-
pard, and seems to feel that there is
some distinction in being a genuine
crook He also proudly declares "a
good crook will not give up anything.
Yesterday Riley says that Sheppard
was fool to squeal, and that he would
sit tight.
Yesterday afternoon Justice Lore
with Constable George Hamlyn went
out to the Gypsy Camp and made a
complete search of everything out
there. Riley and Sheppard had spent
much of their time with this band of
rovers and they were on good terms
with the band, so much so that they
ate mealts with Gyps.
The officers could not find anything
about tho camp to help them with
their work. The Gypsies admitted
that they knew the boys, but they de-
clared that they did not know that the
lads had been stealing.
Several clues were run out yester-
day, and some information gained that
may prove of interest little later on.
