 A controversy between g members of the Richmond Lace works and the company was heard in part in Provi- dence Wednesday before Judge Rath- bun in the superior court on the peti- tlon of George A. Wainwright and otf- CTS for a preliminary injunction to re- strain the respondent from eJecting the employees from the tenements they oc- cupy in the village of Alton in the town of Richmond.
 The dispute as to the rights of the company grew out of the situation fol- lowing the national strike of lace workers. The Richmond Lace works owns between 25 and 30 tenements at Alton and these were largely occupied by the help employed in the factory The strike started in Alton about May IA
 It appeared in testimony that the company on June 12 served the usual notice to quit on it's tenants this notice demanding that the housese be vacated Or1n n- haf T,11x- not preliminary to any court proceed ings in trespass and ejectment suits, but the company claims the right to eject the tenants, forcibly if necessary from it's property. It is an injunction against such proceedings that the com plainants have asked the superior court to grant in the present suit
 Testimony was given concerning the letting of the houses. which was fer no definite time, but the rent was paid monthly on the first of each month. The company contends that the ten ancy is from month to month under this agreement.
 It is the contention of the complain ants that because of what James s. Steele, the selling agent of the lace works, told them, the tenancy was ex- tended to Nov. 1. He told them to go ahead and plant their gardens. it is in accordance with the spirit of the proclamation of the president of the United States. Now they refuse to get out and leave the results of their labor and expense for others to har- vest.
 According to Superintendent Wilson. who was on the witness stand We'd nesday. when the hearing closed for adjournment, he told the tenants to plant their gardens. but made the res ervatlon that the company would de- nand possession of the houses and yards if the strike continued.
 John J. Fitzgerald and John J. Dunn or Westerly are attorneys for the com plaInants. Frank H. Swan of Swan X, heeney IS counsel for the lace com pany. The hearing was postponed un- til this morning.

GERMAN DENoUNcEs KAISER.
Jacob Gratis Tells of His Feelings For America.

. How one german-American - he spells German with a little and America with capital A-feels about Germany is shown in the following letter to the editor of the Sioux City Qowa) Journal:
 T have seen several articles in the Journal about Germans trying to raise strife in this country. I am a Ger man by birth but am an American why I left Germany. There were ten in our family and we were poor, like the most of my countrymen who came to the good old United States of America to get away from oppression, and it was a hard matter to keep the wolf away from the door at times. When I landed in this country secured work at once and received more money for one months work than I got in Germany for one years work. I sent for my folks and am proud that they are all true Amer ican citizens and will answer the presidents call to arms against Ger many, any other country when needed.
 T don't see how my countrymen can go back on Uncle Sam They came here without a cent and made money here; now they want to fight the country that feeds them. The kaiser never did anything for them for me. If he had we would be there yet. All he did was to start this cruel war and starve all our peo- pie there, and make soldiers out of everybody and force them to work for his dirty 12 cents a day, with a fourth of a pound of meat and loaf of black bread. I hope to see the day when he is kicked out of Germany and a president put in his place.
 You don't see any Americans go- ing over there for jobs or to any other nation. They are happy here and don't owe any alleigence to any king or kaiser.
 T hope Uncle Sam will win. Hur- rah for President Wilson!

Smith was run over by a trolley car on the Watch Hill division of the Shore Line Electric Railway company and there was a question as to whether he was killed by the trolley or whether his dead body had been placed on the track
 Coroner Kingsley concludes his re- port with the following paragraphs:
 There is no question in my mind that under the conditions, slippery rail and just after rounding a bad curve in the road, on a down grade. that the motorman did all that was possi- ble to stop his car and did all within his power to avoid running over what afterwards proved to be the body of Smith.
 After considering all the testimony and carefully Investigating all the cir cunnstances, I hereby. certify that the said Peter Smith came to his death on the 23d day of June, A. D. 1917, in consequence of having been run over by an electric car about Ills p. n., on the Watch Hill road, in said town of Westerly, that said electric car was run and operated by Charles $.
