WESTERLY

Thomas Hartley, son of MT. and Mrs. Thomas Hartley of Union street, Vest crIy. stepped into a walking match with George N. Brown. champion walker Of the United States, Thursday, at Paw tucket. MT. Brown, is playing at theatre at Providence, this week. Brown, Hartley of Westerly and two others, were sent off from the Paw tucket city hall at F o'clock, noon, by Mayor Kenyon >of Pawtucket. Hartley at once stepped into the lead. When Brown passed the West avenue fire sta tion, it was 1909 1-2. The next time taken was at the car barn and Brown passed this place at 1926 1-2. The ar mory garage and the entrance to the North End Burial Ground were passed at 1920 and 1928 respectively.
 When the end of the asphalt road was reached, Brown increased his speed and started te pull up on Hartley, who had a lead of about 100 yards. At the corner of Branch avenue and North Main street, Brown shed the heavy ! sweater he was wearing and opened UT on his speed. At Randall square and 1 North Main streets, the time was 1923 and at this point a large crowd had gathered to watch the contest. Browr passed at 12.30 1-2. From that point
 to tine city hall Brown continued tt | gain on Hartley. The crowd though ] that the leader was Brown, who wa | walking second, but who was ahead O | any previous record he had made. Tn i two walked through Exchange plac
 and at the finish Hartley led Brown b,
 about 30 yards. Browns time was 3
 1-2 minutes which was six minute ahead of his old record, but one minut
 behind Hartley's time. Both men wer
 received by Mayor Gainer and Govern
 or San Souci and they all had their pic
 lures taken.
 Brown says that he did not kno-
 that Hartley was racing him and tha
 IS the reason that the latter got such
 lead. He wishes to challenge Hartle to walk any distance the latter ma wish and that the match will take plaC on the machines that Brown uses fc , long distance walking. Hartley wa formerly employed at the coast guar
 station at Watch Hill.

comply with orders Of the State Tax
Commission to bring their assess

mission may not reassess the county,
but the County Board of Supervisors
must obey the commissions orders
unless the Fiscal Court appeals. This
was not done by Fayette county in
time. and the Board Of Supervisors
must raise farm lands 100000, town
lots 100000 and tangible personal
property s6,iO0.OO0. The State Tax
Commission may by manadamus COM
pei the board to act, or, If it is not in
session, may by the same process COM
pei the County Judge to reconvene the

Release Of American Cit.
gems Held There.

Washington. June 90. - Admintstra-
ton officials tonight were awaiting
with obvious impotence further ad-
vices from Charge d. Affaires Summer
lin at Mexico City and CONSUL Shaw
at Tampico, concerning the fate of the
forty American citizens seized by Mex
lean bandits Sunday morning and held
for ransom along with the Aguada
Camp property of the Cortez Oil Com
pany.
The original dispatch OF Consul
Shaw was filed more than forty-eight
hours ago. and not a word has been
heard from him since. The forty-eight-
hour time limit within which Gorogabe
the bandit leader, demanded payment
Of $4,000 pesos ransom, expired yester-
day morning.
So far as Washington is officially
advised, the forty men may have been
massacred and the property destroyed.
Not syllable of information has been
received from any source.
1t is assumed here that the Mexican
authorities have clapped on censor
ship and are applying it to the Ameri-
can Charge dAffaires and Consul
Shaw. The result is that the situation
is greatly aggravated.
Unless definite information that the
Americans are safe is received very
soon, President Harding may not
await assurance from Mexico City that
all possible steps have been taken to
secure the release of our citizens and
the company's property, before rush
ing naval vessels to Tampico.
The commanders of all naval YES
sells are fully advised concerning all
that is known of the situation up to
date and those within easy steaming
distance Of Tampico are prepared to
said on moments notice.
