At a session of the Third district court in Westerly, Judge Oliver H.
 Williams presiding, the book account
 case of Theodore Picard against Hen " Harding of Carolina was heard. The amount involved was S411.32, which included the sale and storage
 of an automobile, a protested note, a N. G. check, repairs and oil and gas oline. Judgment was given for plain tiff for $411-32 and costs. Samuel Eain and Christopher Fer raro, pleaded guilty of violation of the automobile law relating to rear lights
 after sunset; both cases were contin-
 ued upon payment of costs of S2.S0 each. Both were second violations and were accidental in nature. Fer raro was accused of being fresh by the shape" and conveyed the belief that the officers had selected him as a tar get. Chief Brown said that Ferraro seemed to be more interested in the lights on other automobiles than in the lights of his own machine and had said that other machines were allowed to run around with tail lamps unlighted, but if his light went oyt by accident and not design he was arrested The chief told Ferraro that if he knew of other violaters of the law he should report them and not circulate talk that he was being pros ecuted- He was assured that all cases reported by him would receive police investigation. Ferraro declared that he did not intend to violate law and that the police were mistaken in his 1>osition in regard to reference to other automobile operators, and that re- ports circulated about him were with out foundation.

Japan has undergone complete

Japanese gunboats have joined the
submarine hunters in the barred

confirmation of the statement that
japan has changed her plans.
1t is said that the chief reason
why the British admiralty permitted
the publication OF the arrival OF the
American dagtroyers in the Aortf
