The development of any country depends upon
travel.
The first highways the streams and the

Today land transportation by railroads. wagons and
automobiles takes the place of boats The Kentucky
River has been fitted for navigation at large expense but
does not carry any traffic. Railroads and turnpkes

1t is desirable to live near great thoroughfare.
BY OF it keep in touch with larger number OF
neighbors and share larger number of public gather

ting crops to market and OF bringing supplies to
farm.
One OF the biggest schemes started for making
splendid highways is this OF the Dixie Highway planned
to be continuous good road for teams and autos from
Chicago to Florida.

by which this great highway is to traverse Eastern Ken

have fail would be greater calamity than to have the
Kentucky River dry up.
Yet this great project is in danger of failing because

TO REOPEN CANAL NOV. I
Government 10 Arranging to Give Rs.
lief to Shippers.

Washington, Oct. Sit is probable
that measures will be adopted by the
war department and the Panama canal
authorities for the purpose Of giving
relief to the shipping held up at
Panama by the recent slides In
Gaillard Cut, which have proved to
be the most serious since the canal
was opened.
Latest advices indicate that II will
not be possible to reopen the canal
to navigation before November 1. It
has been suggested, therefore. that
arrangements be made for such ships
as desire to transfer their cargoes
for trans-shipment across the isthmus
on the railroad to be placed on ship
board again at the other side Of the
canal. 1t is presumed that shippers
planning to ship via the canal this
month will have taken notice OF the
situation and will make other arrange
ments.

Judge Barrows filed an interesting
decision with the clerk of the superior
court for Washington county under
the workmen's compensation act Sat
urday, in the case tried in Westerly,
last week. The petitioning employee
is Antonio Lapriore, of Westerly, who
was employed by Louis Dotolo at
Watch Hill. October 80, 1914 The
court finds Lopriore was working with
two other men named Ferrara and
Bruno, who warned him that it was
dangerous to lamp the filling in
drilled hole in a rock with an iron
drill instead OF using a stick. An ex-
plosion followed and badly burned the
petitioners face, hands and arms and
filed his eyes with dirt and powder.
He went to Backus hospital, Nor
witch, and his wounds healed, but the
little finger of his left hand was
drawn over the palm in such a, man
ner that it cannot be Strengthened.
None of the physicians who attended
the injuries advised the patient to
have the finger amputated, although
all of the doctors now advise it's am
putation and say that, If removed, the
wound should heal and allow the man
to go to work in a, month without Sc
rious inconvenience as a shoveller and
laborer
THE accident in this case was the
result of the petitioners gross care
1essness, but not of his wtlful intention
to bring injury upon himself Judge
Barrows says in his decision. up to
the present time the court finds that
the petitioner has been wholly inca
pacitated. 1t is true that he might
have had the little finger removed
and been able to work prior to this
time but there is no evidence that he
was advised to do so, and failure to
do so cannot be laid at his door when
none of the competent doctors attend
ing him had given him such advice
tie finger can be removed and petition
er rendered probably able to work
within 80 days. Without, however
definitely fixing this time, the court
holds that his incapacity is at present
complete and that compensation upon
that basis should be awarded. Petit
toner is therefore entitled to Sc per
week from Nov. Is, 1914 to May %,
1915, and until further order of the
court. Provided, however that such
payments should not continue after
July 1. except on a showing by the
petitioner to his court that cause ex-
lists for further continuance.
The petitioner should be allowed,
if said finger is amputated the sum
of Sc per week for IL weeks. The pc
titioner is likewise entitled to his costs
in this case, including $40 for an
interpreter and $25 for one medical
expert"

Frank H. Hickey of Mystic will sue
coed Wurtum A. Breed of the borough
as Judge Of the town court of Ston-
ington June 1, and at the same time
Senator Benjamin H. Hewitt of Mystic
will succeed George r. McKenna of
Pawcatuck as the prosecuting officer
1t is quite probable that Albert G.
Martin of PaWcatuck will succeed Will
liam ]. Gilmore of Stonington as clerk
of the court, while L. D. Fairbrother
will become the deputy judge, more of
an honorary than profitable office
While 1t is generally conceded that the
logical place for the clerkship of the
court Is in the borough where the court
is located, 1t is understood that it is
to be changed for first time, for ever
since the court was created in 1898
the clerk has resided in the borough
Theodore T. Wilcox of the borough is
candidate for the clerkship, and has
had previous experience, but it is
given out that the village of Pawca-
tuck, the largest voting district in the
Htical reasons, and therefore it is
probable that Mr.. Martin, who has
represented in part the town in the
legislature, will be appointed to the
clerkShip.
When this court was created in
1883 the late George D. Stanton, r,
was the first judge and L. D. Fair
brother clerk. The latter subsequently
served as judge and is the incoming
deputy judge. Mr.. Fairbrother served
as clerk from May IS, 1898. to May 6,
1895, when he was succeeded by
James H. Weeks, who served until
May 5, 1889. Theodore T. Wilcox sue
ceeding and serving until May IS, 1911
He was succeeded by Edmond A. Pot
ter, who served until June IS, 1913,
when the present incumbent, William
J. Gilmore assumed the duties of clerk
of the court. So if Mr.. Martin is ap-
pointed he will be the first person not
a resident of the borough to be clerk
of the town court.
