Effects Organization—Will Actin Conjunction withG.A.R, Posts—Talk of Judge Sweeney for Superior Court Bench—Anonymous Leiters Cause Family Jars— Death of Gideon P. Chesebro. Judge John W. Sweeney of Westerly is mentioned for the superior court bench in the event of a vacancy that may occur at an early date. Judge Tanner's election to the presiding jus- ticeship of the superior court and Judge Mumford's overwhelming defeat for the place has revived the rumor that the latter intends resigning frem the bench and entering private prac- tice. Some of the fifteen who voted for Judge Mumford feel aggrieved, and de- clase that Frank W. Tillinghast, who is said to have been managing Judge Mumford’s campalgn, should not have permitted his name to be presented. There are some who aver that it is part of a scheme to create a secohd vgcancy by causing Judge Mumford to become so disgusted as to resign during the present session of the general assem- bl Judge Sweeney is serving his six- teenth year as clerk of the senate committee on judiciary and stands close to the powers that be in republi- can politics, He is a strong factor in Westerly politics, has a wide legal practice, and has been repeatedly men- tioned as a proper candidate for a place on the high court whenever any vacancy has occurred, [Effort is being made to locate a Por- tuguese vice consulate in Providence by Representative Granger. He has had conference with Viscount de Alte, the Portuguese minister to the United Etates, relative to the matter, and has also written to the minister of foreign affairs at Lisbon on the subject. The minister has urged upon his govern- ment the advisability of establishing a consulate at Providence and the mat- ter is awaiting the action of the for- elgn office. Bo far as can be ascertained there is not a Portuguese family in West- erly, although there are about 10,000 Portuguese in Rhode Island, and these re forced to go to Fall River or New edford to obtain the service of a esonsul from their native country. The resolution of Senator Louis F. Wrnold, previding for an appropriation ‘t‘: $800 for installing shower baths in e state armory in Westerly, was tak. en up for consideration at Friday's egession. Senator Arnold stated that She measure was indorsed by the quartermaster general and adjutant general, He said that it was his aim as chairman of the committee on finance to see that every bill calling for an appropriation should be thor- oughly understood by the members. ‘The reselution was passed without de- bate. Thomas E. Robinson of Westerly has been elected president of the Rhode Island Veterinary Medical association, in annual meeting: The other officers are: L. T. Dunn, Providence, first vice president; G, L, Salisbury, Wick- ford, second vice president; J. S. Pol- lard and J. T. Cunningham of Provi- dence, secretary and treasurer, respec- tively. In the Third district court, Judge Oliver H. Williams, in the case of Ar- thur M, Willis against Amy D. James, a motion for a dill of particulars, made by Dixon & Rathbun for defendant was_granted over a week ago, the bill to be filed by Wednesday noon of last week. At the regular session of court ¥riday, it was leRrned that none had been filed, but Judge Rathbun said that Judge Sweeney, for the plaintiff, had handed him a statement designed to answer the order of the court, but it was not sufficiently explicit for 1 satisfaction. He asked for opportt to argue the matter. As Judge Swee- ney was not present, the case was continued for argument, Saturday morning. When court came In for the s purpose of hearing the arguments the case Saturday morning, Clarence Roche of Judge Sweeney’s office in- formed the court that it was Impossi- ble for Mr. Sweeney to be in court he was engaged elsewhere, The was continued to next Friday, ial in John J.

The elder of the girls is only fourteen and their youth saved them from being prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Just for fun, these girls were sending letters to married men bearing the supposed signature of married women, asking for a meet- ing at some appointed place, in most instan near the Congregational church, ‘Two of these letters fell into the hands of the wives of the men address- ed, without the knowledge of each other. One woman resolved to inves- tigate on her own account; so one CONTINUATION OF THE MUSLIN UNDERWEAR SALE ALL THIS WEEK. Clearance of Soiled Undermusing AT HALF PRICE.

The other wo- mwan made like resolve, and, unfor- tunately, on the same night. Natural- 1y, the two wosnen met, each suspect- ing the other of seeking clandestine meeting with hubby. It was a pierc- ing glance, a word or two, and then the women fléw at each other like the traditional Kilkenny cats, They claw- ed each other until the larger of the two women started on a lively run for her run with the victor not far behind. Prior to this occasion one of the letters had been handed to Officer Ca- gey and he had succeeded in locating the young michief-makers, and had reprimanded them in such a way that there will be no more letter writing of that nature. The officer explained the matter to the belligerent women, and they were not slow on showering apologies on each other, while the two husbands went to the club room to celebrate the happy ending.
