SUPERINTENDENT
 MOWRY
Elected Superintendent of Schools of
 NOonSocket
Did Not Seek the Position. Will Accept
 Under Certain Conditions

Wendall A. Mowry, superintendent of the Putnam schools for the present school year, was elected superintend. ent of the Woonsocket schools at meeting of the board of that city Tues day evening.
 The position was not sought by MT. Mowry and when he was first ap- preached regarding the matter he re. fused to consider 1t. Mir. Mowry went to Woonsocket with his parents when he was years old and attended the schools there and taught in an evening school. He was afterwards superin- tendent at Central Falls where condi- tions are very similar to those in Woonsocket. Superintendent Frank E. Melee, who had been connected with the Woonsocket schools for thir- ty-six or thirty seven years, died few weeks ago and in looking around for new superintendent Mir. Mowry was unanimously endorsed and elected by the board. Besides electing him su- perintendent the board recommended that his salary be s2,500. A larger sal ary than MT. Melee received and substantial increase over what Putnam pays.
 MT. Mowry, in speaking of the mat ter, said he was not in the least active in seeking the position. He had re- ceived the loyal support of the citizens of Putnam and as he had not been here full year he did not fesl that it would be fair to go out looking for a better position. He had made many friends here and the people had treat ed him in a manner that lett nothing to be desired. If the city council of Woonsocket vote S2, 800 for a superin- tendent's salary MT. Mowry will prob ably accept the position and will make some arrangements with the Putnam school board satisfactory to them. Put nam people will of course be sorry to lose Mr. Mowry as his worth and ef ficieney have been demonstrated in the short while he has been here.

City COurt-GeiSSIer Judge

Captain of Police Murray picked up man near the foundry Friday morn- ing that had been out all night sleep- ing off drunk. The man was nearly frozen and was wrapped in warm blankets and laid on the floor by the heater in the municipal building dur ing the day. He was presented before the city court on charge of intoxica- tion and judgment was suspended.
 Nothing has been learned concern ing the whereabouts of Frank Smith who Harry Rock claims drugged and robbed him in this :city Wednesday night. When asked if he would like to have the police investigate the mat ter Rock is quoted as replying that he would like to meet Smith first.
 Edward Gibson of East Putnam was arrested by Constable Hermon G. Car yer Friday afternoon on warrant charging him with neglecting to send his two children, one aged s and the other II, to school. The complaint was drawn by the prosecuting attorney on information presented by Louis A. Battey, truant officer. Gibson plead guilty to the charge. MT. Ba:tey told the court that Feb. 9th he had called on the defendant and told him he must keep his children in school. He called him on the telephone later and told him that if the children were not in school by Wednesday morning he would take legal proceedings. Gibson was defiant and told him to go ahead as soon as he wanted to. The only ex- cuse the defendant offered was that the children didn't have sufficient cloth- ing and that he had neglected to get them any. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $2 on each count and costs of $4 50 and execution of the sentence in regard to the fines was suspended un- til after school closes in June with the understanding that if the children are regular in attendance during that time the fines will be remitted. There are few other cases where parents are apt to run up against the law unless their children are kept in school.

J. Waterman Fisher, who was found guilty of neglecting to properly water and feed his stock on his Putnam Heights farm by Judge Geissler in the city court Tuesday afternoon and or dered to pay fine and costs amounting to about S25, did not affect his appeal in the time given by the court and so had to pay.
 The case was set for l0.3O Tuesday morning but as defendants counsel and the prosecutor were engaged in the superior court an adjournment was taken until p. m. The case lasted nearly three hours.
 Fisher was arrested upon com- plaint made by the officers of the Con- necticut Humane Society and county prosecutor, Lawyer Samuel B. Har- vey, of Willimantic, assisted in con- ducting the case.
 The witnesses for the state were spe- cial agent of the society, Herbert $. Wells of Hartford; Dr. F. T. Baldwin, local veterinary; and George F. Hol- brook. former local repre- sentative of the humane society. All testified to complaints made against the way Fisher cared for his stock, their testi- mony covering period of three years. In making investigations they found that his stock was emaciated and in at least one case an animal was in a weak condition. IL was their opinion that this was due to lack of proper food and water. The barn was good one and well stocked with hay.
 MT. Fisher took the stand in his own behalf. He said he fed and watered his stock four times day. He did not give them grain through the win. ter. He said the poor COW spoken of was Jersey snd that they were more tender than other breeds and subject to be effected by climatic conditions He said that there was plenty of feed in the barn and his stock had prooer care and that the complaints that had

One or two admitted that they would not care to have their own cattle as ithin. One witness testified that Fishers manner of caring for his stock was that of many farmers thirty years ago but he said with societies and officials to look after things there had been some changes.

 Sergeant Hayes told of getting call from Smith little before a. m. and going right over. He didn't find any thing out of the way at the store until MT. Smith told him that entrance had been made over the transom then he saw it. He called up the proprietor of the store and he came down and the two went in and found the place had been entered.
 Captain Murray stated that he knew nothing of the occurrence until he came on duty in the morning when he saw the report of the officer that the place had been entered. He explained to the council the matter of making re- ports but said that sometimes things happened that were not written in the report.
 After the hearing the matter was discussed for short length of time and there will probably be some new regulations for the guidance of the de- partmen..
 The matter of the proposed change in the city charter now before the gen. eral assembly to make the term of of- flee for the captain of police for peril cd during good behavior was referred to the ordinance committee to discuss and report at a special meeting to be held in two weeks.
