BULL MOOSE IN WESTERLY
IT. R Admirers Give Reasons for the Faith that Is in Them Committees and Districts for Tag Day-New Patroman Assigned to Beat-Horace Taft at Watch Hill

There has been no public demon strataon of Bull Moose in Westerly, but this does not signify scarcity of them in the town, nor does 1t signify that they are numerous. So far as can be learned, the most clearly def1n- ed Bull Moose in Westerly, an un- qualified admirer of Roosevelt, is Rev. John M. Collins. He says he feel. confident that the next president of the United States will be either RooSe- welt or Wilson, with Roosevelt as the f@FoEite in the contest. MT. Collins says he admires Roosevelt for the right or wrong, but that he believes in most of the principles advocated by the Progressiwes.
 Isaac Jones. the night engineer at the pumping station. Is another Bull Moose He is ever ready to enter into argument on the political issues, and to explain why he Is favorable to Roosevelt for the presidency over the other candidates.
 Arthur Mcclellan Weeden, assistant 3an4tor at the Memorial and Public 1kbEary building. is also an ardent ad- mixer of Roosevelt and is proud of the Bull Moose distinction.
 Maurice W, Sullivan, a civil war
 
 employees of the New England Granite works, makes open declaration of his rspnounced political leaning in favor of Roosevelt for the presidency. He as a close student of public men and public affairs, and is Convinced that Of all candidates named, Roosevelt is the one best entitled to the support of the people.
 There are other Bull Moose in the wdlds of the town, but these are the only ones thus far who have had the courage to come out in the open and declare allegiance to the principles of the progressive party None of the men named are among those termed practical politicians, but are rather of Independent action, who consider themselves competent to do their own thinking and arrive at conclusions that ars self-satisfy4ng in regard to what 3s bsst for the country and its peo- pia.

FEW HITS MADE
 BY 12-INcH MoRTARs
But the Major Says Their Efficiency
 Was Proved.

Honolulu, Aug. 1S.-Artillery prac- tice with 12-inch mortars beyond Dda- mond Head failed to demonstrate yesterday that it is possible to de- stroy battleship at long distance by mortars. Firing was at a small tar get set 4,800 yards off shore. In ten shots fired there was one hit. Certain officers believe that most of the shots were rather too wide of the mark.
 Major Edward J. Timberlaks, in charge of the battery, said, however, that while the practice showed poor percentage of hits. the test had proved the efficiency of the mortars. The small percentage of hits was partially due to high winds.

It was further proved that the recall was prompted by owners of disorderly sa- looms that had been closed by the mayor. During the hearing founda- ton was laid for the prosecution of several of the recall promoters on charges of forgery and perjury.

In the great grain states of the
