of a. local law firm, who joined his efforts with MT. Holmes, but without success.
 Later armed with legal artillery, the attorneys returned to MT. Mooney s office. Before they could start north ward the voice of Mrs. Volck at the telephone announced that her husband had left and that she and her baby were free. A half hour later no one could be found in the apartment. Mrs. Volck and her child had taken advan- tage of the open door to leave for the home of her father.
 The last word which Mrs. Volck had received from her husband before his unexpected return was a note now in possession of MT. Mooney and sup posed to refer to his intended enlist ment in the German army. It said: When arrive abroad hope lmmedi- ateIy to get what I planned, which, of course, will give me the necessary amount to live on, suppose no more"

 The Electric Chair.
 The chauffeuns at Watch Hill had electricity last season, until the trick was turned upon Chief of Police Brown. when the sport came to sud- den stop. Now there is chair on an estate not far from the borough which employees charge with electricity when ever a victim sits in that chair, and thus far those who have been electrified treat the matter just as it is intended, fun-maker, and join in the sport and help to seek vistims. Wires have also been arranged so that the current can be turned on and give shock when at tempt is made to open what is termed the electric door. It is believed that if the trick was turned on the owner of the estate where the electric sport IS indulged in, happened to sit in the chair or open the door while the juice was on, that he, too, would help get another victim or two. In any event, the employees are waiting for the op- portunity to try it on the boss.

Chief of Police Brown. backed by the Westerly town council, is deter mined to enforce the automobile reg ulations, the reform having been al ready commenced. in the Bass-Carpen- tier cases. who scoffed at the police regulations in this bush town" There are chauffeurs at Watch Hill who came rom large cities and have the idea that the police regulations in a. place the size of Westerly are a joke. In consequence the automobile operators give exhibitions of their expert work by fast driving and reckless manipula- tion in congested sections, regardless of the safety of others.
 In the past the local police have been 1enient with visiting automobilists in the early part of the season, in the hope that as the season advanced, they would fit themselves to the local con ditions, and this method has proven ef- fecttve. But thus early in the present season the recklessness of drivers has been of such a nature that leniency has ceased to be Q virtue and the po- lice will enforce the laws fearlessly and without discrimination.

FIVE PERFECT SHOTS .qA1 POLICE GALLERY
IhjTty-0ne Out of feTly-tWo Bullets
 Fired Connect With Target.

Further practise at the police shooting gallery was indulged in this morning and some good shots were scored by Chief Rawlings, Sergeant Herting and Officers Richardson and Wagner. The gallery is now com pleted and the only change that will be necessary will be the moving of the lights, as they do not show up the sights on the revolvers to ad- vantage in their present location.
 Five BuIls-Eyes Scored.
 Fortytwo shots were fired at the target at a forty foot range, the target being d piece of cardboard twelve inches square. with a black bulls-eye about the size of a small tea cup. Of the forty-two shots fired but five struck the bulls-eye proper, the ones making the perfect scores being ChiaC Rawlings, twice; Officer Richardson, Sergeant Herting and the ever present reporter. GA word to the wise: be sure the reporter doesn't draw first when you register 'complaint.)
 The first three shots fired by Of ficer Wagner failed to connect with the target, but later he sent four bullets into it. Out of twelve shots Chief Rawlings missed the target proper but twice ano Officer Richard son missed but -hree out of ten chances. Out of six attempts Ser geant Herting failed once. Dennis O'Keefe mad an idea that to hit the bulls-eye was an asy matter, and he was given two shots. The first one missed but he was more fortunate with his second attempt
 Of the forty-tvO shots fired, thirty one struck the target and eleven missed but had the target been the size of a man it is probable that al- most every shot would have lodged in some portion of his anatomy. While to the onlooker 1t seems very easy to hit the target t~e art of doing 1t Is much more difficult and the men will have to practise for some time in or der to get used to the reVolvers.
 RicharJlson's Siege Gun.
 After shooting the Colts automatic Officer Richardson drew his own re- volver from his pocket. It was a wicked looking gun, resembling a pocket edition of Germany's famous forty-two centinteter siege guns. It is a forty-four c2.libre revolver and when the owner raised 1t to shoot everyone involuntarily tucked.
