In connection with the proposed con- gressional investigation of the alleged boiler trust, affecting the Babcock & Wilcox Boiler company, founded by ‘Westerly men, and in which people of the town are interested, the inves- tigation made by Lieut. Henry C. Dinger, U. S. N,, of the naval boller in service, based upon the experience of the recent voyage of the battle- ships, is to be appreciated. Lieutenant Dinger says: “In the fleet that encircled the globe there were the following types of boil- ers: Double-ended = Scotch ‘boilers, working pressure 180 pounds, in the Kearsarge and Kentucky; single-ended Scotch, working pressure 180 pounds, in the Missouri, Alabama and Illinois; Thornycroft boilers, working pressure 220 pounds, in the Missouri and Ohio; Niclausse boilers, working pressure 265 pounds, in the Georgia, Maine and Virginia; Babcock & Wilcox boilers, working pressure 265 pounds, in the Nebraska, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Louisiana, Connecticut, Vermont, Kan- sas and Minnesota. “The average consumption of the Connecticut, Louisiana, Kansas, Ver- mont, Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Is- land and New Jersey was 5,841 tons, and the trial displacement of these vessels is 15,625 tons; the average consumption the Georgia and Vir- ginia was 5,873 tons, the trial displace- meng being 5,873 tons; the average conSumption of the Ohio and Missouri was 5,000 tons, and the trial displace- ment 12,500 tons: the average con- sumption of the Kearsarke, Kentucky, Illinois and Wisconsin was\4,878 “tons, and the trial displacement 11,536 tons. As the vessels differ in displacement they should all be reduced to a com- mon basis in proportion to the two- thirds power of their displacement. When that is done the result is as follows: Tons. 5,481 6,033 6.359 Scotch 5971 1 saving ol' flu— Babcock & Wil- rs over the other types is tons over the Niclausse, 878 over the Thornycroft and 490 tons over the Seotch boilers. This thes ult of only three months' ce,\ steaming from San Francisco to Mani With lllis same “The boil ser proportiona aving carried on for several years it would soon cover the entire cost of the boilers.

The call for the caucus was read by George B. Utter, clerk of the town committee. Eugene B. Pendleton was‘chnaen moderator of the caucus, and Everett FE. Whipple, secretary. Chairman Clark presented the list o7 candidates, and in every instance the nominations were seconded by Thomas F. Biddles, except for the of- fice of sixth and seventh councilmen. Mr. Clark nominated William Culley and Mr. Biddles named Charles S. Thomas 28 his opponént. For the sev- enth councilman, Mr. Clark said the committee were unable to come to an agreement, so he, by direction of the committee, presented the names of Forace L. Burdick and James Mac- Monies. On motion of A, T. L. Ledwidge it was voted that ballot be taken for sixth and seventh councilmen, that there be two ballot boxes, and that the polls remain open until 9 o'clock in_the evening.

Flynn as councilman, who was substituted for Dr. M. H. Scanlon, who declined a renomination, It required just ten minutes to tran- sact this business, and at 4.15 the bal- loting was commenced to decide whether William E. Culley would be renominated or e succeeded by Charles S. Thomas, and whether Hor- ace E. Burdick would’continue to serve ag councilman, or retire in favor of James MacMonies.

As the sheriff neared the entrance to his home he speeded his car, passed the to the left, and attempted to cros: front ‘of the macdine containing Frovidence party. In order to avoid running into the sheriff’s car, the chauffeur of the big automobfle turned to the right and be- fore a stop was made, one of the front wheels was wrecked against a stone wall and ghe police inspector whg was on the front seat, was thrown ferward against the glass wind shield. He was badly shaken up but escaped serious injury ll\«- William D. Hoxie, vice president of the Babcock & Wilcox Boiler company, has one of the finest residences in ‘Westerly, located in Elm street, a por- tion of the property extending through to Main street. Mr. Hoxie has had extensive improvements made in the past two years, and contemplates others, with a park in the rear of his summer residence. The Jogeph Schofield and Charles A. Stillmgn properties in Main street have bee recently purchased and, it is said, thd purchase wa$ made for Mr. Hoxie. His property now extends from Elm to Main streets, the ](-‘ngtll of Cross street, but the Stholfield and Etillman properties extend beyond a part of the rear line of the Hoxie prop- erty. With +his purchase, & new boun- dary can be established and the line made straight by throwing that part of the two properties named that ex- tend beyond the rear line of the J. K Davis land into the present Hoxie property. This would not only en- large but square up that section of Mr, Hoxie's property that is to be converted into a private park. Dr. John M.
