Cars Will Be Used to Round Up Scat- tered Voters. fi With the campaign completed and the ground thoroughly gone over, {he voters of the town of Killingly will today decide whether Danielson is to remain a license town or go back to no-license. The settlement of this matter for another year has topped all other matters that are presented for adjustment at the annual town meet- ing and election and there is absolute- ly mo interest in the election of the town officials. All that remains to be done is to get th> voters to the polls and this work will be done systematically by both parties. The automobile wlill play a prominent part in the transportation scheme and more than a dozen ma- chines had-been engaged Saturday for the work. Private cars will also be used. Killingly, being a town of scat- tered villages, makes the difficulty of getting the voters to the polls greater than it is in many other places and the efficlency with which the work is accomplished means a great deal where the contest is to be close. The polls are to be open in the town hall from 9 o'clock this morning until 2 o'elock this afternoon, and the five hours will be made up of golden min- utes of opportunity for both the tem- perance and license factions. Local political sharps are predicting a close vote with the outcome uncer- tain. The voters of Killingly have made a record of persistent swaying between license and no-license and a change of sentiment by a score of vot- ers has usually been sufficient to swing the town one way or the other, Last vear the town voted license by a ma- jority of 40. The year before there was a no-license victory by a small margin. The leaders on either side are making no extravagant claims or predictions las to the outcome, for they kmow con- ditions in_this town well enough to | spend their time getting voters to the polis rather than in telling what they expect is going to happen. The vote cast will in all probability be one of the largest in the history of the town. RHODE ISLAND PRESS CLUB.

DEMOC;ATIC CAUCUS. | | came sl shown about and taken for ty 1y Only Two Nominations for Office of Selectman. About 150 democrats gathered in the town hall Saturday afternoon to hold the party caucus at which candidates were nominated for offices to be filled at the annual town election today (Monday). Ex-Representative Frank P. Warren was chosen chairman of the caucus and Willlam A. Graves clerk. The only circumstance that appeared to disturb the prospect of the harmo- nious filling of the party ticket was the matter of deciding whether two or three candidates for the office of se- lectmen should be nominated. Some of the voters from various parts of the tewn wanted the full number of nomi- nees placed on the ticket, while an- cther faction felt that the best way to preserve harmony in the party was to name only two selectmen. A vote taken by check list was necessary to decide which 'l{’lt would be “and those who wanted to nominate only two ‘men won out by a vote of 105 to 41. Patrick Riley of the disf and Alcott D. Sayles of the Third dis- trict, both members of the present beard of selectmen, received the nomi- nations. It was then voted that the chairman appoint a committee to fill the vacan- cles remaining in the ticket and Mr. ‘Warren selected the following men for the duty: George M. Pilling, Patrick Riley, Alcott D, Sayles and Albert H. Shippee. The full list of nominations made at the caucus was as follows: Selectmen, Patrick Riley, Alcott D. Sayles; town clerk and treasurer, Frederick E. Bit- good; collector of taxes, Thomas Brad- ford; assessors, James Perkins, three years, Fred C. Bellows, two years, George W. Jacques, one year; board of relief, Arthur V. Woodworth, James Chase; constables, George M. PiHing, Eugene J. Gibney, Alcott D. Sayles; registrars of voters, James R. Welsh, Joseph IL'Homme, Henry H. Oatley member of the town school committee, Frank P. Warren; auditor, Frank P. ‘Warren. Briefs and Personal Thomas Dunlevy of Medway, Mass., is spending today (Monday) at his home in Danlelson. Carl Corey of Boston was at his home in Danfelson over Sunday. A _prayer meeting under the auspices of the Woman’s Christian Temperance union is to be held in the Methodist church this (Monday) morning from 9 to 11 o'clock. A call has been extended to.all those who believe in the efficacy of prayer to be present and pray for a victory for the no-license party at the polls. The final rally of the no-license cam- paign was held in the town hall Sun- day evening and several speakers dis- cussed the question of license. The speakers were citizens of the town of Killingly- T FUTNAM Elks to Enlarge Quarters—Browning Legacy for Baptist Church—Two Ag- ed Wives Granted Divorces.

Many Pasters Distributed in Anticipa- tion of Today’s Election, The polls will be opened this (Mon- @ay) morning in Hanimond hall at 6.30 o'clock for reception of the ballots to be cast in the annual town tion. Saturday and Sunday stickers were distributed to many voters to be used over the name of one candidate or an- other and there may be some surprises when the vote is counted this evening. The license issue has not been a prominent one in the pre-election work and no temperance rallies have been held. A vote will be taken on the question. The annual town business meeting will be held this afternoon,with rputine matters to pags upon. The number of votes polled will probably amount to the normal number. PUTNAM BAPTIST CHURCH Legally Determined Residuary Legatee of Browning Estate. Judge W. L. Bennett has filed a de- sion in the case of Edward G. Wright, vs, George E. Tripp et al., re- cently heard in the superior court in this city, and bearing on the construc- tion of the will of Luck A. Robbins, who died in Woodstock in 1882. The decision is favorable to the Put- nam Baptist church, residuary legatee of the estate of Ellen E. Browning of Plainfield, daughter of Mrs. Robbins, and to whom the latter left her estate in the hands of Willlam R. Barber as trustee. Mrs. Browning was to have the use of the funds left in trust by her mother Mrs. Browning should die, and if any of the estate re— mained after that time it was to go to Hulda E. Tucker of Norwich, sister of Mrs. Robbins. Hulda Tucker, however, died before Mrs, Browning and upon the death of the latter in the early part of the present year the other heirs of Mrs. Robbins clalmed that the residue should be divided among them under the construction of the Robbins will, rather than have it go to the Baptist church of this city, as directed in the will of Mrs. Browning. In the memorandum of his decision Judge Bennett finds that the legal heirs of the testatrix, Lucy A. Robbins, who were to take the estate on the decease of the said Ellen Browning, provided said Hulda E. Tucker should not then be living, were the legal heirs of the testatrix, Lucy B. Robbins, at the death of said Lucy A. Robbins, and up- on the decease of Hulda E. Tucker be- fore the decease of the sald Ellen E Browning the remainder of the estate vested in saild Ellen E. Browning as sole heir and the plaintiff is directed to pay over to the defendant, Arthur G, Bill as executor of the will of Ellen E. Browning, the whole of the estate of Lucy A. Robbins, now in the hands of the "administrator, less his proper charges and the allowances due him for expenses for the construction of the will and the necessary expenses of set- tling the estate. UNHAPPY WIVES Granted Divorces on Grounds of Deser- ion and Non-Support. Josephine M. Peterson of this city has been granted an uncontested di- vorce from Gustave Peterson on the ground of desertion by Judge W. L. Bennett in the superior court. They were married in Putnam in 1903. Peter- son deserted her after about six months. Maud C. Lucas of Danielson has been granted an uncontested divorce from John J. Lucas on the ground of non-support.

JEWETT CITY Borough Hears Two Stirring No-Li conse Addresses—Michael Fogarty Injured by Falling Tree—Kin Daughters’ Outing. Saturday evening, there was a large gathering in Finn's opera house to listen to a_temperance address by Hon, John T. Shea of Cambridge, Mass., national secretary of the Catholic To- tal Abstinence union of America. Up- on the platform were seated Messrs. Murphy, Baldwin, Crowe and Murphy, Jr,, of Norwich, and John F. Hennon of this place, the latter introducing the speaker to the audience. Represents 120,000. Mr. Shea said he was an under- taker by profession and he was here to attend the burial of the rum hopes in the town, and on Monday would occur the funeral. He represented an organization of 120,000 members, and gave its pledge, which demands eter- nal fidelity to no-license. The enemy of the faith and church iu America is the saloon. Church Opposed to Saloons. He spoke particularly of the idea that people have that the Catholics favor the liquor business and said the principal reason for this is because there are so many Catholic names above the saloon doors, this fact hurt- ing the faith of the church. The church of God can never favor the saljoon, The ‘platform of the society fs: Cre- ate a public sentiment, keep on cre- ating a public sentiment, never cease creating a public sentiment. They never say the word sufficient. After we are dead, our children will take up the battle and never cease the war- fare until King Alcohol says “Suffi- clent!” There are no selfish men in the movement; they are on the other side. 7 He said that Cambridge closed the loon doors twenty-thre years ago and has had no-license ever since. If my church says, Get out of the business, how can I stay in it? he asked. Will God punish the rum seller and not the man who votes to license the sale of liquor? A Matter of Conscience. The church elevates and the saloon lowers humanity. How can any man say the Lord’s Prayer and then go to the polls and vote license? Hesitate, before you make a mockery of that prayer! Three Schemes. He sald there were three ways in whichl the liquor men work. One is to buy all the votes they can—another is to dispense free drinks and intoxi- cate men, then send them in the streets to give the impression that just as much liquor is drunk, and another way is to bribe the officials not to enforce the law. He gave figures to prove the increase of charity expenses under the license law. The fight for no-license in towns ‘where there has been no-license, as in this town, is not for the drunkard, but for the men who are making the fight and have been able to resist the temp- tation on_account of there being no- licence. Shall pitfalls be placed again in the way of these men? SECOND EMANCIPATION Predicted by Rev. R. C. Miller. There was a temperance mass meet- ing in Finn's Opera house Sunday eve- ning. There was singing by the audi- { ence and a cornet solo by Joseph La- bonne of Danielson. Rev. E. W. Pot- ter acted as chairman and introduced Rennett C. Miller, a fine temperance orator. Mr. Miller began by describ- ing graphically the landing of the first load of slaves at Jamestown, Va.. in 1619, and then followed it to the civil war. Next he pictured the beginning of our second siavery, the liquor traf- fic. This, like slavery, has now grown to gigantic proportions. He spoke in part_as follows 1 hear some one say. “The town needs the money.” Does it? Is that the motive? Then why not’ give a li- cense to the gambling den, the opium joint and the house of il fame? I would as soon have one of them around as the average saloon. They will gladly pay you the license. In fact, the saloon prepares for and makes business for the others in thou- sands of cases—alas, they are often Jjoined. Horace Greeley truly said: “To sell rum for a livelihood is bad enough, but for a whole community to share the responsibility and guilt of such a traf- fic (the license laws) seems a worse bargain than Eve or Judas” And in 1874 the young, conscientio) Hon. William McKinley sai 3y legalizing this traffic, we agree to share with the liquor seliers the responsibilities of this business. Every. man who votes for license becomes of necessity partner to the liquor traffic it consequences. The average yearly increase of debt in Jewett City under Ii for ten years (1897-1908) was $3,000. The last two years under no-license it was only | $544. The average poor expenses of Jewett | City for ten vears from 1887 to 1307 was about $1.400 a ¥y " last two ars under no-license it has averaged than $600. But let all be said , this ond emancipation is , and nothing can stop it! FALLING TREE Pinned Man and Two-Horse Team to Earth. Saturday afternoon, while workmen were preparing to cut down a tree in the Ashland mill yard, it fell unex- pectedly. as it not rooted very deeply. Michael Fogarty, with his two- borse team, was under the tree, and it fell directly upon them, pinning them to the ground. It was necessary to chop the branches to extricate them, Mr. Fogarty was taken home in an automobile. Dr. Agnew found Mr. Fogarty badly bruised but not riously injured. The horses were con- siderably injured, but were able to walk after they were rescued. The King's Daughters .V Tleven members of Wha cle of The King's Daughters visited Mrs. Asher N.
