WATCH HILL TO WESTERLY BY AUTO Cl'pt. Walter H. Davis Crosses From Life Saving Station on the Ice—Two Small Fires Tuesday Night—Annual Meeting of Franklin Lodge—Eastern Star Chapter Entertains—Fellowship Meeting, ‘When the item stating that there had been no fire in Westerly for the past three months was written, and as'it appeared in Wednesday's Bulle- tin, the statement was correct; but during the night there were two fires, although not of. serfous consequences. The firat fire was in the residence of John H. Murphy at 17 Narragansett avegue, and alarm was sent in from box 24, Mr. Murphy owns the house and oocupies the upper tenment, the Jower one being occupied by Joseph Linehan. Mrs, Murphy 'and her chil- dren, excepting her son Austin, were in the Lenlhan tenment, Mrs. Murphy being called there by a case of sud- den fllness, while Mr. Murphy was at his place of business. Young Austin Murphy wes in front of the house when Dr, John M. O'Connell, a neigh- Bor, cam . The boy was talking to Dr. O'Connell of the woman being ill'in the house, when the doctor no- ticed a blaze 1n the Murphy Kkitchen. With the boy ne rushed into the house and discovered that a closet in which i# located the hot-water beiler and which is used as a clothes press, was ablaze. The doctor and Austin Mur- phy asubdued the blaze with several buckets of water. The interior of ° the tleset was burned, as was the up- per part of the door; the clothing in the closet was destroyed. The fire was checked before it burned through the partition and the damage will probably not exceed $100. The exact canse of the tire {8 not known. The fire department arrived promptly, but returned to the flre house after Chief Cottrell mads examination, and ascer- tained that the service of the firemen was not required. Next came an aiarm from box b2, egraer of Moin and Unfon streets, for a fire in the house occupled by the TLegelis brothers in Crafts court, and near tha fire house. There was no one in the house and the firemen forc- ed entmance. They found the fire to be in a bureau and communicating to the woodwork in a bedroom. The house was filled with smoke and a line of hose was laid as a matter of precau- tlon, The firs was extinguished with chemicals and the damage was slight. No one waa in the house at the time the fire started, but the belief is that an oil stove centributed to the fire. Congressman George M, Utter of Westerly, after conference with offi- aiale interested in the project of con- struction and equipment at Point Ju- dith harbor of refuge, has decided not te ask congress for an appropriation for ‘a landing slip and kindred im- prevements that have been urged by men representing the business and miaritime interests of Rhode Island. The attitude of the officials in Wash- ington' is that it would be a waste of meney to make improvements in the herbor until the westerly breakwater 33 completed, as the harbor is now un- r:nctad, and that there “would be bility of the landing alip or other structare being ruined by storm. Several years ago provision was mede by cougress for the construc- tlon of the westerly breakwater on the esontifiuing contract plan. It is esti- mated that $400,000 will be required ta complete the work, and in this year'a estimate the secretary of the treemurer recommends that $160,000 Be appropriated for continuing the work. Mr. Utter has been assured by the chairman of the rivers and har- bers committes that the recommenda- tion of the secretary will receive fa- vorgble consideration. Joseph J, Ettor of New York has declined the goad offices of John Gold- en of Fall River, president of the United Textile Workers of America, for a peacable settlement of the strike in Lawrence, as indicated in the tele~ sent from Westerly to Mayor icheel Scanlon of Lawrence. Mr. Bitor is the directing head of the strike as national organizer of the Iadqustrial Workers of the World, which body has taken over the hand- ilng of the strike and who declares that the strikors can gain nothing by arbitration, Mr. Bttor said he did not and can- met recognize the leader of an opposi- tlen union in any way, and explained that the orzanization represented by Mr. Golden had no connection with the Industrial Workers of the World. He declared emphatically that Mr. Golden would, not be acceptable to the strik- erg as ons of the employes represen- tatives on any arbitration board. Nor would State Senator Samuel Ross of New Bedford, "vho !s international sec- retary of the Mule Spimners’ assocla- tion. The pames of both men have been mentioned in connection with a séught for board of arbitration. Mr. Ektor- positively declared that the strikars would not submit their griev- ences to arbitration, ‘A ‘pleasing feature meeting of Frankiin Free .amd Acoepted Masons, wags the presentation by Albert E, Barber, in behalf of the iodge, of a magnificent of the annual lodge, No. 20, past -master's jewel to George E.

Davis of the Watch Hill life saving station intrepidly drove his automobile on the ice-cov- ered Pawactuck river and the ice- fringed Little Narragansett bay, on Wednesday morning, from the village of Watch Hill to the village of West- erly and return, being the first to ac- complish the feat and the first to ride in an automobile on the bay or river. Captain Davis made the trip because the route looked better to him than the regularly traveled way. The trip was made without accident and the only incident that tended to interest was the crackling of the weaker sectlons of the icy speedway, and the realization that there was no danger of collision with automobiles or other vehicle8. Nearly all the Protestant ministers of Westerly wore guests at the fellow- ship meeting of the Congregational churches in this section, held in the church in Pawcatuck Wednesday, at which Dr. James Weeks, Jr, of Ston- ington weas moderater.

The annual report of the Rhode Is- land commissioner of forestry shows that the forest fire loss in the town of Westerly during the past year was 2,150. In Charlestown it was $675 and Hopkinton $1,200, The greatest loss, $7,400, was in Warwick. i It 18 claimed that the efficiency and discipline of the Westerly fire depart- ment is endangered by the persistent Interference at iires by well meaning citizens not members of the fire de- partment, whose knowledge of fire fighting is confined to small limits. Two itinerates, Thomas McFarland and Alfred Goodwin, pleaded gullty to vagrancy Wednesday, and Judge Williams of the Third district court sentenced each to six months in the state workhouse. It was a charitable act, as both men were weakened in physical condition by reason of ex- cesses and exposure.
