The public utilities commission on Thursday sustained the complaint of the town of Westerly against the Westerly Light and Power company and ruled that the complaint was properly before the commission for an investigation. This decision came after a hearing at which the petition CT and respondent argued their re- spective sides.
 Harry B. Agard, counsel for the town of Westerly, submitted in brief form a statement of fact relating the instances that resulted in the filing of the complaint alleging unjust and excessive rates. It was shown that the council voted on March 6, last to file the complaint as a town, and that it be signed by members Of the council.
 Arthur NJ. Allen, attorney for the respondent, alleged that the complaint was not legally authorized, and that 1t was not in proper form, because il was not signed by all members oi the council as voted. The commis-

 The British helmet is a round cap of the hardest steel with marrow Tip" back and front. and designed with a much lower pitch than the French type. It is moreover perfectly smooth, having no f1utings or projections for bullets or fragments of shrapnel to strike against while it's low pitch pre- sents the smallest possible target for a direct hit from any direction. One of the drawbacks of the French hell met, owing to its higher dome, is that the collection of air in the top Of the helmet produced and uncomfortable coolness. while at the same time the helmet was such a tight it that the metal pressed unpleasantly on the head.
 These drawbacks have been avoided in the scientifically designed head piece produced under the supervision of Mir. Lloyd d-George. Ingenious de- vices have been employed to secure and to avoid any distress to the wear CT. Inside the dome of the helmet are fixed a number of rubber studs, so placed as to take up the shock of a blow struck from any direction. They come between the helmet and tts dou- ble lining of felt and wadding. The wadding comes next to the head of the wearer and covers it closely, so that I if bullet should penetrate the steel cap and inflict scalp wound, the Wad- l ding would act as a dressing.

AS long as we are human, there will
be occasion for trouble of a personal
nature to occur, that ought to be con-
fined to only those interested. The
double column headed article in The
Daily Leader Saturday evening in
which one lady has reasons to sue in
court for damages against another
for some gossip or talk that she may
have uttered, in heat of temperament,
is no excuse for any newspaper that
considers its mission in the community
for the dissemination of news an ex-
cuse for publishing the complaint YER
batum in such a case There is no
language sufficient to express our dis
gust for brother publisher who will
find it possible to go out of his wav
to publish such slanderous statements
even though it is in the form of a
complaint. We are surprised that any
publisher in the city of Grand Rapids
should be guilty of such an offense.
We hope our citizens will express
their disgust of such action. Nc mat
ter what the facts are, or the truth,
as it may later De proven, there is no
excuse for such publication. Resent
ment is in the public mind and heart
OF every good citizen in the commun-

EX-Mayor Cohen is making the best

STREET CAR EMPLOYEE
ELECTROCUTED
Frank Semps instantly Killed This Morning
While Working on Line at Port Edwards

The bar of iron which he grasped
was the pole connection of guy wire.
Usually in placing guy wires on the
poles, the ground connection is broken
by insulators In this case, this had
not been done and the mans body
made a short circuit from the trolley
to the ground.
This particular guy wire was placed
on the pole after the sleet storm Of
last winter The telephone lines had
been fastened to this pole because Of
a broken telephone pole and the addi-
tional wires put such strain on the
pole that it was necessary to guy it.
AS this was supposed to be but a
temporary affair, the insulation was
not placed between the pole and the
ground.
Mr.. Semps is a man about 40 years
Of age and leaves a wife and several
children. He lived at the South Side
near Boles Greek.
