BUCKET OF BLOOD AND
OTHER DIVES ARE OUT
Council Meeting in Which Lii
cense List is Put Through
Featured by Squabbles

The dispute over the granting OF a
saloon license to George w. McCurdy,
Jr,, No. 901 Fourteenth-ave.. has re-
suited in compromise, McCurey
agreeing to move from the location
and the council voting him license
in special meeting, Monday morning.
The council committee on liquor reg
ulation made a separate report on
the McCurdy license, recommendipS
that Il be granted. The committee
was unanimous. The aldermen debat-
ed for more than an hour before adopt
ing the report.
Aid. Field made motion TO lay the
report on the table for a week, so that
McCurdy and ST. Barnabas church
could agree on terms whereby McCur-
dy would remove from his present To-
cation.
Chairman Ellis and other members
of the committee stated that the applL
tons would have to be passed on Mon
day to comply with the law, and that
the same object as Aid. Field had in
mind could be attained by an alder
man filing notice of reconsideration.
IL McCurdy and the church people
agreed, McCurdy's license would be
legal, and IL they couldn't agree the
council later might vote against the
report Some OF those who opposed
the granting of the license considered
that they would retain the whip-hand

Aid. Vernon, who opposed the sa-
loon, explained his votein favor OF the
committee report by saying that IL the

The roll call on the adoption OF the
report does not adequately show the
strength Of the opponents of the sa-
loon In the council, as many voted TO
adopt the committee report knowing
that action will not be final until the
reconsideration Is disposed of. and, in
the meantime the difficulty is likely
to be adjusted by the church people
and McCurdy.
The votes were taken after a |
lengthy squabble among the aldermen,
In which most of them gave express

TRAVELLING IN THE FOG.

The dangers connected with travel both by rail and water in the fog has been well Illustrated in the past few days and rather unusual was the re- suit, inasmuch as the loss of life oc- cured on land. Fog ordinarily adds more peril to the water transportation and it is a condition liable to be ex- perienced frequently at this season. Much caution needs to be used in send ing the vessels through it, yet many collisions result from the chances that are taken and neglect to reduce speed or make the necessary signals of warn ing for the safety of others wander ing about in the same plight.
 Very fortunately there was no loss of life in the mlxups off Newport and Point Judith. Such affairs can only be expected when navigation is at tempted in the fog. The submarine bell is intended to meet such emergen- cles. but it IS not recorded that it was In operation on the vessels which col lded. That the battleship New Hamp- shire should be anchored where she was is not SO surprising as the fact that there was no signals from either of the vessels to denote the proximity of each other. In that instance where the Fan River boat was concerned and in the other where the Massachusetts and Bunker Hill collided the perfect order maintained and the ability to have met any circumstances which could have developed showed the value of the wireless and the benefit of trained cRews.

HE cAMoRRA TRIAL.

From one corner of the universe to the other there will be rejoicing over the outcome of the long drawn out Ca morra trial in Italy, where nearly two years have been spent in securing the triumph of right over wrong, It was enc of the most stubborn fought trials and upon its outcome much depended for the Italian government was en- gagged in combat against a mighty foe which fought In ambush. It was contest between organized law and order and organized crime in which the former won. thanks to the persist enco and fearlessness with which the government conducted its trial against the lawesshess so cleverly hidden by the band of criminals.
 The difficulties which impeded the prosecution of the accused, banded to- gether as they were under the guise of benevolent society, have sufflced to prevent convictions in the past. Crime has been covered up as cleverly as such an organization can do it, with it's membership reaching into society and governmental circles. Threats of all kinds against participants and off, cials threatened to prevent selection of a jury and made it necessary to go far from Naples to get a trial. With the strength of the Camorra band all ready great. it would have been a most unfortunate affair for Italy had 1t been exonerated.

 'Mr, Prentls Knowlton-Dear Sir; We have the honor to inform you that your aunt, the late Mrs. James K. Knowlton, has named you one of the heirs in ner will, We sincerely regret that we are unable to inform you of the exact nature of the legacy, owing to the rather vague wording of the will Our late client. much against our repeated advice, refused to have the paragraph in which you are men toned altered in any way.
 According to the will, the house and all the real estate Is left jointly to you and to one Constance Trent a distant relative of our late client, to be di- vided or disposed of as you two shall mutually see fit.
 We fully realize the delicate posi- tion in which this places you, and the annoyance to which you are subjected by legacy under such terms. We re- spectfully suggest that, if you can con- veniently do, so. a conference with us and an inspection of the property by you will materially aid in unraveling this tangle.
 Trusting that we may hear from you at your earliest convenience,we are sincerely yours,
 SNOW & BEMIS,
 Attorneys at Law Knowlton grunted. It was so like his Aunt Sarah to leave him property in this absurd, tled-up fashion. For a moment he was tempted to write the lawyers to give the whole estate to this Constance Trent, whoever that lady might be. and thus end the whole matter. Then he reflected that Aunt Sarah was woman for whose judg- ment heh ad always had the greatest respect, and whose motives, while sometimes whimsical in appearance, were always sane and far sighted Per haps, after all, 1t would be better to make haste slowly and at least view the property once more and find out what sort of a mortal this Constance Trent might be.
 Two days later Knowlton was speed ing over the Vermont hills to his new ly acquired property. It was charm ing old house. built on high hill, ov- erlooking the placid river, twisting it's tortuous course along the valley. All about were sloping fields and acres ot well kept orchards.
 The news of Knowlton's arrival was teiegraphed to Constance Trent in the northern part of the state, and the same wire requested her presence al an interview of the legatees in the of flee of Snow 6 Bemis.
 The reply came promptly. Miss Trent it said, would be on hand early Thurs day morning.

THE ARCHIBALD FINDING.

In bringing their unanimous demand that Judge Archibald be impeached for misbehavior, high crimes and misde- meanors." having "prostituted his high office for pergonal gain" the judiciary committee of the house carried out a duty which thankfully is not often re- quired. This arralgnment is not 8 conviction as the trial must be before the senate, but under the circum- stances the charges should be taken up at once and determined. Rarely has the appointee to the high office of federal judge conducted himself so as to face such a hearing or have been found to deserve such action. The charges coming as they do against the head of the United States Commerce court. which institution seems to be lacking in friends, should be deter mined as quickly as possible.
 While it should not, the action against Judge Archibald has no doubt had it's effect upon the court the abolishment of which congress appears to be determined in. though it was not responsible for any individual action of Judge Archibald. With the proof tc be determined by a trial the charge is a serious one. He is entitled to hear ing whether the court is abolished ol not, for such an arraignment ought not to be left hanging over the head oi a judge The hearing should also be given soon.
