no political pluns in view there is no incentive for the local democrats to get busy.
 The political situation is so one-sided in Westerly that there are no election expenses, except the small sum nec- essary for advertising the caucus, either on the republican or democratic side. The assessment of candidates to meet the election expenses is not known in Westerly, and no appeal is ever made for funds from the state or national committees. Politicians here paddle their own political canoes.

Chief of Police Thomas E. Brown who under the law, must be the complaining officer in all criminal cases brought in the Third district court, is prepared to prosecute the Stonington men who as- saulted Umpire Rose during the base ball game at White Rock. last Sunday afternoqh. The men accused of the as sault. which resulted in a free-for-all light. are not players on the Stonington team In fact none of the players on the White Rock or Stonington teams had any part in the disgraceful row. In order to prosecute the offenderA Chief Brown must have Umpire Rose as the principal witness for the state, and he is therefore endeavoring to have Rose come to Westerly and appear in the Third district court against. his assail- ants. It is understood that Rose is not inclined 10 appear as the real complain ing witness, and Chief Brown is plan ming to secure him. though he may be an unwilling witness. The chief says the testimony of Rose is absolutely nec- essary in the prosecution. Friends of Rose advise him to appear in court vol untarily should the Stonington men be arrested and brought into court.
 It is not believed that the Stonington men will resist prosecution by insisting on their extraditional rights, and thus not be free 10 go and come at will in Westerly and the rest of Rhode Island, and with warrant for their arrest pend- ing. They undoubtedly would prefer to stand trial and pay the penalty, for the occasion where their temper replaced their ordinary good judgment.
 Those who witnessed the general TOW declare it was not all one-sided, and was therefore participated in by resi- NNT .c ton. Suggestion is made by a Stoning- ton man that Chief Brown arrest all known offenders of the law. regardless or their standing or place of residence and not confine, his efforts alone to the assailants of the umpire even if they were the starters of the g<lsral row

 Scallops will be scarce this season, if the first days haul allowed under the law is an indicator. East Greenwich and Cowesett bays are the centres of the industry in Rhode Island and the fishermen made an early start for the scallop grounds, Wednesday morning. The first boat to return brought in only two bushels after two hours of dredg- ing. With plentiful crop the yield in that time would be about twenty-five bushels.
