Westerly Court House Nearly Ready . Furnishing of Handsome Structure is Almost Completed and Formal Occupation About Sept. 1—Barber Hosemen in Hard Training for Approaching Reel Race—Investigating Violation of Alien Labor Laws at Bradford The furnishing of the new court- house is nearly completed and it will be the best equipped and.most richly furnished in the state. The Third dis- trict ceurt room and officers are on the first floor and the superior court and the attendant rooms are on the sec- ond floor. Senator Louls 'W. Arnold, a member of the state commission on the buflding and furnishings, has given the matter his personal supervision and there is no doubt that all who have to do with the courthouse will praise his efficient work. Both court rooms and accessories are practically ready for occupancy, as is also the police station in the basement, but there will probably be no formal occupation be- fore Sept .l or until the state has Jlear title to the site, and the town has asranged with the state for the use of the basement as police station. Phe butlding encroaches a few feet on property of the Westerly fire dis- trict, which will be deeded to the town and will be included in the deed of the town to the state. The delay in this matter has been caused by the absence of the attorney general from the state, as the deed of property must be made to his full satisfaction. The work of changing the location of the fire house to be on line with the new town hall and courthouse ig pro- satisfactorily. The hou as been lowered four feet to conform to the new grade of Union street, and is now being moved back from the side- walk Mne to the new foundation. This ehange in grade will afford a side en- trance to the basement of the old town ball building which is to be utilized as & training school in connection with the school department of Westerly. The team of twelve men represent- ing the P. S. Barber Hose company are in acttve and faithful practice for the hose reel race in conmection with the annual muster of the Rhode Island State Firemen’s league, to be held in Westerly, Sept. 10. The team prac- tices on Moss street every evening and upon return to the house are put un- der & course of physical training under the direction of Jimmy Nelson of Wa- terbury, who is summering in Wes- terly, who is a professor of physical training. Mr. Nelson was a clever and sclentific lightweight pugilist twenty- five years ago and ever since has made & special study of physical culture, eombining the methods of others with those y personal experience. As a result of his training the mem- Bers of the team are in prime physi- cal condition and will make a good event al- n _bose reel racing. The team is composed of Pierce Moerison, Thomas Donohue, Thomas Donovan, James Donovan, Frederick Harvey, James Vazzeila, Walter Ken- yom, Jordan, James Keane, Fu- gone Sullivan Irederick Larkin' and john Donohue. The race will e for 2 distance of two hundred yards and will include hydrant and hose pipe con- nections, and will probably be run in Summer street, adjacent to Vose field where the hand engine contests will be_held. Richard J. Rooney, the grand mar- shal of the parade, which will be held prior to the contests, has appointed his aids as follows: Byron Champlain, Alert Hook and Ladder _company: Leon Nelder, Rhode Island Steam Fire Engine compeny, No. 1; Frank Knight, Cyclone Steam Fire Engine company, No. 2; Thomas Donohue, P.

There are many employes of the plant who came to this country in strict compliance with law, but it is claimed there are a few violations and there is investigation of a few sus- pects. It aid that the employes un- der suspicion are skilled workmen and that some’ of these will be taken to Boston for deportation. The report of the inspectors will de- termine what action wiil be taken, pro. vided there has been wilful violation of the immigration laws, although at the present time there' are no formal charges against the parties in inter- est.
