THE LAW’S DELAY AT WESTERLY ‘Barber and Richman Cases Again Continuéd—Senator Ar- nold Calls House Slow—Malicious Deed at Wequete- quock—Charles P. Eccleston and Telephone Company at Odds—Dr. Savage’s Auto. Destroyed at North Ston- ington. As a rule cases brought in the Third district court for violations of the au- tomobile laws are speedily disposed of snd usually with a penalty in 1 iul keeping with the offense and then per- haps some more. Offenses that have been penalized with 315 and costs in Providence have been soaked $100 and costs_in Westerly. About a month ago Harold Buarber was arrested for reckless driving and with exceeding the speed limit. He pleaded nolo to the second count, and the town SO Jicitor, Harry B. Agard, said he would not .press the first count, but made request that no judgment be passed on the first count, so that it could be applied In case appeal was taken in the euperior court, Young Barber was in the Third district court in con- nection with this case for a fifth time Friday morning, and afier listening to arguments on points of law by Attor- ney - for the state and Attorney Ledwidge for defense, Judge Willlams continued the case to next Friday,when sentence will be announced. The case against Charles Richmond, who pleaded not gullty a week ago to being engaged in the junk business without having the required license was called. It was understood that Attorney Ledwidge had been engaged %o defend the accused and it was de- sired to enter a plea of nolo, but Mr. Ledwidge stated that he was not counsel for Mr. Richmond. He said Mr. Richmond had called at his office, but declined to pay the customary re- tainer. Richmond said he had no at- forney and would conduct his own case. Town Solicitor Agard suggested that perbaps it would be best for those concerned to have the case go over for one week. He eaid that Chlef Brown was the principal witness for the state and that an urgent case of & persn_who was violently insane needed his attention. Judge Williams continued the case for one week. 8tate Senmator Louis W. Arnold ao- eused the house of dilatoriness at Fri- day’s session and said he was disgust- ed with the tactics of the house in ecnnection with the appropriation bill The senator said be was ‘“extremely disgusted with the dilatory manner in which the appropriation bill is sent to the committee from the house; it doesn’t give time to consider the bill properly and to go into details in a careful way.” “Owing to the shortness of the gen- eral assembly,” said the senator, “and the mecessity of receiving money for the malntenance of state institutions, we have gone over the bill in a cur- pory manner, realizing that it is neces- mary that the appropriation be made pow. It is absolutely necessary to pass the bill as it is as the wards of the state are now obliged to live on other people’s money.” The bill was tabled for calendar. It was passed in the house two weeks ago and reached the senate finance committee on Fri- day. _— A patrol system of maintaining the first F<:l=s: roads of Rhode Island has been adopted by the state board of public works and those designated as first class roads are as follows: Provi- dence to Woonsocket, Providence to Connecticut line on Reservoir avenue, dence to Westerly by way of Varragansett Pler, Providence to Was fen and Bristol, Warren to Massachu- etts line. Newport to Fall River and &fone Briaee to Littla Compton. The patrol system ocovers approximately 160 miles and will be dtvided into sec- tions of about eight miles each. In each section there will be a man with a horse and cart who will be paid $3.25 & day. He will be supplied with aterfal in handy places. THis duty is to take care of potholes, keep gutters clean and improve generally the ap- pearance of the road. He will be un- der the gupervision of the district in- ®pecton That Wequetequock school fight of many years ago, reports of which il columns of newspapers In the larger cities, and which showed that there were people in that section of the town of Stonington that were not all strictly law-abiding, is recalled by an incident that occurred during Friday night of before sunrise Saturday and demonstrates that there are still peo- ple in Wequetequock who do mnot act | entirely within the law. Lloyd Chese- | bhorough is 2 resident of the Wequete- quock section and is engaged in the ice business. Saturday morning it was learned that his ice wagons, car- riages and all his farming implements on wheels had been rolled into Wequetequock cove, causing inconven- | lence and loss to the owner. , Thus far the local authorities heve been unable | e e to locate the evildoers, but there is suspicion that may result in prosecu- tion. There is a divorce suit pending in the superior court of g ok Mattie Cheseborough against Lloyd Chesebor- ough. Charles P, Ecclestone has purcha ed th eold passenger station ,the bas- .gage anc express building and _the reight depot from the New York, New Haven and Hartford Raiiroad com- pany, conditional that the three wood- en buildings be moved from the prem- ises. The town council has granted Mr. Egglestone permissi the buildings ur the tions that the town blamel from ny damages may result by reason of a moving of the buildings_through the public high- ways, ana will in no way be respon- sible. Mr. Ecclestone assuming ail responsibility, It is therefore up to Mr. Ecclestone to arrange for the tem- porary removal of telephone, tel sraph ,electric and fire alarm wires, which, he informed the council could be affected by a financial agreement with the telephone telegraph and elec- tric companies. He informed the council that in moving the house, socalled, through Main street, he had made satisfactory settlement, | excepting the Westerly Automatic Telephone company, and that the bill presented by the company was ex- cessive, and included the erection of a section of pole line and equipment with which he had nothing to do. He declared that he did not consider the bill, as presented, a just bill and there- fore did not intend te soelttTHTH fore did mnot intend to settle on.that basis. This would indicate that the friend- liest of feeling does not exist between Mr. Hcclestone and the telephone company and it would occasion but lit- | tle surprise if the company attempt- ed to prevent or delay the removal of the bulldings, by a refusal to re move wires temporarily. It is under- stood that if the town authorities in- sist that the wires be removed that the cable will be cu 'and in cons quence many within the affected tele phone district will be inconvenienced for several days, and the damages will be coilected. Mr. Ecclestone is 2 building contractor and has moved many buildings an vicinity, under his personal direc tion, and is considered an expert in the busines: He is, however, ne- gotiating with the F. H. Redden Con- structin_company of New London to rmove the railroad build Ecclestone's property. ..The superior court for Washing- ton county convenes at Westerly next Monday with Judge John W.

Although there is a desire for new equal representation of the first and second representative districts in the make-up of the n town _counc still there is a popular demand for the retention of some of the active mem- bers without regard to location of residence. As William 1. Clarke has taken up residence in the town of Hopkinton he will not be candidate for re-election to the sewn council of We: n June.
