WHAT 1S INTERESTING WESTERLY Question of Senator-elect Louis Taylor’s Title to a Seat— Superintendent William H. Holmes at Providence Meet- ing—Death of Daniel Babcock—Stephen F. Fiske Dead at Pawtucket—Bill Collins Sues Dr. A. M. Purdy For $10,000 Damages. FRAVELERS' DIRECTOAY, New London (NORWICH)" Line —TO— The Porteous & Mitchell Co.

Steamer leave Thatl interesting legal question rais- ed du examination of the jurors in the perior court for Washington country, way affect the title to the gseat of State Senator-elect Louis Taylge. Mr., Taylor was summoned from Narraganset as a petit juror and while under examination by Judge Baker it was ascertained that although Mr. Taylor is taxed for real estate valyed at $1500, the court held that he did not own real estate, as the build- ing for which he was taxed was up- on land owned by his father, and he ‘was therefore inaligible to serve as a Juror in Rhode Isiand. Therefore the claim is made that Mr. Taylor is not now and was not a legal voter at the recent election when he was the can- didate for state senator. This turn of affairs has aroused a great deal of discussion in political circles. Mr, Taylor last October de- feated Senator Frank L. Caswell for the nomination in the largest republi- can caucus held in the town and was the only candidate for senator in the town and each town in the state is en- titled to a state senator in Rhode Is- land. Recently the state returning board declared the election of Mr. Taylor for the ensuing two years. The claim is made that unless a new elec- tion s ordered Senator Caswell could hold over, but it is not believed that Mr. Caswell will assume that right or even contest the seat. The case is similar to the Banshaw affair brought up at the last session of | N the general assembly. It was claimed that Mr. Banshaw had sold his real estate shortly before the election, but the discovery was not made until aft- er declaration of election had been made by the returning board. In that case there was no settlement of the issue as Mr. Banshaw was allowed to retain his seat without opposition. In Mr. Taylors case®it is pointed out that he is not now and has not been for three years a legal voter of the town of Narragansett as he voted as real estate voter without legal au- thority and had not signed as a re tered voter. It is stated that the mat- ter will be introduced into the next general assembly for definite action, but whether it will go farther than introduction is problematical. William H. Holmes ,superintendent of Westerly schools, attended the meeting of the executive committes of the Rhode Island Institute of Instruc- tion at the state house in Providence Saturday. It was decided to hold the annua! institute i nthat city, Octo- ber 30, 31, and November 1, 1913. The main meeting will be held in Infantry hall with departmental meetings at the State Normal school. Several reports were received and the routine matters were transacted at the meeting. D. W. Hoyt, chairman of the Thomas S. Stockwell Memorial fund reported that there was a prospect of getting ad- ditional funds. The report was ac- cepted and the committee continued. Daniel Babcock died suddenly at his home in Phenix, R. |, Thursday even- ing ,aged 84 years. Although in feeble health for years, he was about the house all day, as usual ,ate his supper, nd went to his room. Soon after- rds Mrs. Babcock found him in bed unconscious and death soon fol- lowed. It was evident that he had sat on the edge of the bed and fallen backwards into the bed The sudden death was due to heart failure, caused by complications incident to age. Daniel Babcock was born in Potter , December 4, 1828, He married in Westerly, November 1, 1852, Phebe E., daughter of Jonathan and Phebe , who was born in Vol- untown, nn., August 11, 1830, and died January 16, 1857.

He was'a di- of the National and Savings and of the Phenix Trust com- pany. When eighteen years of age he learned the machirist trade at the Cottrell and Babcock plant at Westerly and«in 1853 settled in Phenix where for thirty years he had charge of a de- partment in the plant of the Land- phere Machine company. In 1884 ,he became eonnected with the Babcock Printing Press Manufacturing com- p: in New London, being secretary for many yeqrs. At the age ‘of fourteen he was bap- tized and unifed with the First Sev- nth-Day Baftist church of Hop- kinton, R. 1, and for seventy years re- tained active membership therein. He was a brother of the late Na- than Babcock ,who was partner with Calvert B. Cottrell in the printing press business in Westerly. In 1880 he retired, and two years later or- ganized the Babcock Printing Press Manufacturing company of New Lon- don, being promoter of the company. Another brother, Stephen Babcock, became totally blind at the age of nineteen. In 1853 he entered as a pu- pil in the New York School for the | Blind, and in 1855 he becdme a teach: er in the school, and finally the prin- cipal teacher. He directed the con- struction of the first dissected maps for the blind. He was for sixteen years treasurer of the American Association of Instruction for the Blind and has been for many years first vice presi- dent of the American Sabbath Tract ciety and trustee of the Seventh- Baptist Memorial board and in 1902 received the honorary degree of A. M. from Alfred university. He also had five sisters, Amanda Babcock, Ann Elizabeth Babcock, Susy Almy Babcock, M. D., Phebe Jane Babcock, M. D., and Julia Maria Babcock.
