EIIery C. Barber, overseer of the
poor, presented 4 petition to the West
eriy probate court, Judge Edward NJ
Burke, at the regular session Tuesday
afternoon asking for committal to the
state home and school of four minor
children of George Henry Simons and
Edythe Simons, coiored. The children
are George Washington, aged 8, Edwin
L., Z, Minnie 4. and Louis H., 2. and
were in court with their parents; an
other child q year old was not COM
planned against. 1t was set forth that
the children were neglected and not
given proper care by the parents.
Mr.. Barber testified that the family
had been assisted by the town, but that
no assistance has aeen given since
January, as Simons was an able bodied
man and should care for the family.
Last Christmas when he visited the
family he found Mrs. Simons intoxi
Gated, the basement tenement unkept
and the children neglected. SimOns
gave as a reason for not supporting
his family, said Mr.. Barber, inability
to gec work, that he did the best he
could, and that he abandoned his fam
lily because his wife drank to excess.
Mr.. Barber said the Simons family had
no settlement in Westerly and were
not CnATBedDle TO IIle Town.
Attorney Agard told of Simons'
abandoning his family, of being arrest
ed near Jewett City, brought back to
Westerly and placed on probation and
since then had done nothing towards
the support of his wife and children.
The father and mother of the chill
dren protested against taking them
away and promised to give them better
care in the future. All the children
were born in Lower Pawcatuck and
the parents asked permission to return
to Connecticut with their children.
Judge Burke continued the hearing
until o'clock Friday morning, Mr.,
and Mrs. Simons promising to be
moved to their old Connecticut home
by that time. If the promise is not
kept the children will be committed.
The first and final account of Hiram
". Barber az executor Of the estate Of
Emily Barber was allowed for record,
as was also the first account OF Amelia
A. Hall, executor OF the estate OF Eve
Ign s. Hall. The first and final &C
count of the estate of Davis Lanphere,
rendered by James z. LanphSre ex-
ecutor, was approved for record.
An exemplified copy OF the will of
Franklin A. Lawson Of Cincinnati was
ordered recorded,
The will of Hannah Scott Smith
was admitted to probate and James
Smith of Brookline. Mass, confirmed
as executor with personal bond Of $500.
The appraisers are Charles T. Sprague.
John J. Kennedy and William r. Gray.
Parker Smith was appointed guardian
Of the person and estate of Adelaide r.
Smith. The bond was fixed at $500
and the same appraisers were named.

Gentlemen: We are writing YOU in re
SPONGE to your request regarding the ru-
NOR which is now afloat stating that j.
the near future Ford Cars are to be sold
for One-thOusand dollars.
There is absolutely no truth to this ru-
NOR. AS near as we can figure out, this
was started by our competitors who have
told prospective customers that this re
ductiOn would take place later on. This
matter would cause some people to hold
off placing orders, and this in turn would
give an opening for a competitor to sec
the customers. and possibly secure an or
der, but our best instructions to You, and
to those who are contemplating buying
Ford cars. is to say that the FORD MO
TOR COMPANY, is not for sale, and n
the present time. the factory is ten
thousand ears behind. and if they expect
to get cars within any reasonable length
of time. they had better place orders now
We hope this will convince prospects.
Yours very truly,
