Judge Williams Deals With William Bushee, Who Stabbed Calvin Snyder of North Stoninston-Case of Dr. Percy A. Senior May Come Up Military Orders- Funeral of Nlrs. Joseph s. Burnet, Jr

Calvin Snyder of North Stonington, who was stabbed in the cheek by Will liam Bushee during tussie Tn Canai street Friday afternoon. was relieved from custody by Chief Brown ana sent to his home to have his wound treated to his own satisfaction and at no ex- yjense to the town of Westerly. He could have been held for trial on the charge of assault, but in the opinion of the chief and the town solicitor ne has been sufficiently punished for his offense and there was no occasion TOT saddlirg expense on the town After thorough investigation, Chief Brown was satisfied that Bushee Wfeideo the tackknife upon Snyder in self defense. for it was learned that Snyder had foilowed and attacked Bushee. knocked him down and. while prostrate, with Snyder on top, the knife was used. It was therefore probably case or sei defense and of the nature that proc- abiy would not follow with conviction in the superior court for Washington county. and would therefore result in considerable expense to the town or westerly. Therefore the charge of as- sauft with intent to kill or even as sauIt with a dangerous weaponsw not nressed. as the final disposition on these charges is beyond the 1ur1soictlon of the district court.
 Chief Brown brought the charge of carving a concealed weapon against Bushee, as upon that charge the case could be disposed of in the district the superior court. The knife with which Busree stabbed Snyder was not the weapon specified in the charge, but a dangerous looking slungshot that Bushee was seen by two witnesses to throw over fence just before Chief Brown and Policeman Ferguson ar- rived and placed the offenders under arrest The siungshot Is made of two rounded chunks of lead attached to a piece of codfish line. a crude but dam gerous weapon. which was secured as evidence by Chief Brown.
 Bushee was arraigned before Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third dis trict court Sunday morning and plead ed guilty to the charge of carrying a concealed weapon, slungshot. As the circumstances are out of the ordinary, the court suspended sentence for two months and Bushee was placed on pro- bation.

there may be postponement for a day or two, as there are other cases ahead of that of Dr. Senior. In the Third district court at Westerly the judgment was that the doctor was probably guilty, as charged, or murder and abor- ton. When the case went to the grand jury the charge of murder was dis missed by vote of to IS and he was indicted on the charge of abortion re- sulting in death., When in England, physician. the doctor practiced law and since he has been in Jail awaiting trial has been engaged in the preparation of a defense which he believes will aid in his acquittal.

MANAGER GRIFFITH OFFERS
THE REAL THING.

Mr.. S. M. Griffith, manager of the
Peoples Theater, is an exception to
the general rule. He is not afraid to
put on a genuine MARKHAM play, and
without cutting a single line.
Care has been taken to make this
play of the greatest possible educa-
tional value and at the same time pre-
serve the dramatic effect and the live
human interest such as will grip and
hold an audience from start to finish.
This play will interest non-Social-
lists as well as those who are more
familiar with Socialist propaganda.
The friend of yours whom you have
been unable to interest in Socialism
should see this stirring drama. 1t
will show him or her lifelike picture
of capitalism that should make So
cialist out of him.

RAPID SOCIALIST GROWTH IN
ARGENTINE.

The following figures of the votes
obtained by the Socialists in the Ar
gentine elections show the progress
that has been made during the last
seventeen years, often under the most
difficult conditions: 1896, 1874; 1898,
1O5; 1900, 1876; 1902, 165; 1904, 1,257;
1906, 1860; 1907, 1896; 1908, 5O7S;
1910, 1000; 1912, 1873; 1918, 48,O24.
An interesting discussion on the con-
struction of railways has taken place
in the Argentine parliament. The So
cialist members opposed the construc-
tion of competing lines by private capi-
talist companies and ultimately the
chamber voted the credit necessary for
the construction of state lines in GER
tain districts.

A SOCIALIST WON THE 1918
NOBEL PRIZE.

Henri La Fontaine, Socialist member
of the Belgian senate since 1895, and
president of the Berne Peace bureau,
is the winner of the 1913 Nobel prize
of $4,000. While the capitalist news
papers have overlooked that fact in
their haste Cor something else) they
gave great Importance to announce
ments of the fact that Elihu Root won
the Nobel peace prize for 1912 1t is
especially fitting that the peace prize
should go to a representative of the
political party that stands always for
peace, and that has done more than
any other agency to secure lasting
peace. Says the Western Comrade, in
an article about La Fontaine and his
signal recognition:
"It is characteristic of the capitalist
press that it should announce the win
ner of the 1912 Nobel peace prize and
neglect to announce the winner of the
1918 Nobel peace prize, although both
were decided upon at the same time.
1t is natural that one should not be
mentioned-when that one happens to
be a Socialist"

can be permanent unless it be preced-
ed by sound educational propaganda.
In order to accomplish this we have
decided to offer a series of graduated

fering premiums on six and twelve
month subs, we have decided it would
be better to figure on the basis of 1Oc

year will be considered as equivalent
to ten 1Oc subs six months to six and
shorter time subs in proportion.

SOCIALIST STATE CONVEN-
T1ON TRANSLATES IMPORT
ANT BUSINESS.

The annual state convention of the
Socialist party OF Washington was
opened last Saturday morning at 10
IA. IN, and by noon every section and
district OF the state had its represen-
tative on the floor, numbering in all
III delegates.
In general fine spirit of comrade-
ship prevailed throughout the several
days proceedings, those speaking for
or against the various resolutions or
motions exhibiting a minimum of ami
mus in their sometimes heated criti-
cism of an opponents point OF view
In general, the debates were tempered
with discretion, good humor, and com
radely liberation of conflicting opln-
ions. Here and there the natural-born
crouch was in evidence, and now and
again the outcroppings of personal ami
mosities and antipathies could be de-
tected by those who know who's who
and who's what, and why; but per-
haps no previous convention has been
freer from such egotistic and factional
strife.
The material for this issue had to be
provided before the work of the con-
vention ended, with the editor on duty
as delegate from Local Everett.
AS the next issue of the Common
wealth will be entirely devoted to the
proceedings of the convention, giving
detailed information of all transactions
of Importance, it will be sufficient
merely to announce this fact at this
time.
