 Several months ago Attorney Albert B. Crafts, formerly of Westerly, filed complaint against Attorney Maximilian | l.. Lizotte with whom he had offices n | Providence, charging misappropria- | tion of funds and general misconduct l as an attorney. The supreme court of 1 Rhode Island has handed down a de-
 cision, opinion being given by Judge Vincent. as follows:
 We think, upon careful considera- tfon of the several matters set forth in i these complaints or brought to our at tention during the hearing, that the conduct of MT. Lizotte has been such ] as clearly demonstrate his unf1tness for that trust and confidence which Is l the first and pehaps the most import ant element in the transaction of le- gal business. It is therefore our con-
 clusiOn that MT. Lizotte should be dis l barred, and an order to that effect will ] be entered accordingly.
 | MT. Lizotte and MT. Crafts for
 some years had occupied the same I suite of offices, and although not at l any time actually together as general partners, they had had frequent busi-
 ness relations. After time their re- lations became strained It is appar ent that the filing of these complaints | by Mir Crafts was one of the fruits of | this ill-feeling.

 q have your letter of the 18th, and thank you for your interest and yer sonal efforts in arranging for the Fed eral express train to stop at Westerly mornings. I have not given up the idea of a local train going east as far as Kingston somewhere from to 10 p. m.

I was a boy the ice man weighed the
ice at the door and the consumer re-

day ice is manufactured in 800 pound
blocks, and when a purchaser pays for,
say, 100 pounds, the ice man, as accu-

these blocks into three equal parts and
gives his purchaser one of these pieces,
presumably 100 pounds, without taking
into account either the possible fall

CARS OF PEACHES
CLUT THE MARKET
BIG SHIPMENT COMES TO LIT
TIE ROCK AT UNFAVOR-
ABLE TINE.

Little Rock, July 1.-Two car
loads of luscious liberia peaches
were shipped into Little Rock yester-
day from Belleville, the owners ex-
pecting to sell them to the commits
sion merchants in this city. But the
market has been flooded recently and
no sale could be made. 1t was
planned to divert the shipments to
some other market, but an investiga
ton showed that the other markets
are in the same glutted condition IS
Little Rocks.
Hence the owners of the peaches,
receiving the cooperation of local
produce firms, decided to place the
fruit on sale in Little Rock, as they
feel they can realize better returns in
that way than in any other.
Jean Reutlinger, vice president Of
the Brockman Commission and Cold
Storage Company, said las. night
that the cars are under refrigeration
and the peaches are in fine shape.
They are packed in bushel baskets,
and will be sold at a minimum price.
The cars are at the Rock Island plat
form at Third and Ferry streets.
George R. Brown, secretary of the
Little Rock Board of Trade, in dis
cussing the matter last n ght, said
that it was imperative that the fruit
growers appoint selling agent at
Little Rock, to keep them informed
as to the condition of the market,
and the price at which the fruit is
selling He said that in this way
there would be no trouble in dispos-
ing of the fruit sent here.
