ORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1914 - WESTERLY OWNERS LOAN CARS Thirty-five Machines Ready to Take Visiting New Jersey Press Club Members Aboul—-—AppeQ From Solomano’s Sentence—Electric Motor to Run Stone Crusher—New Rector at St. Michael's Church. Pasquale Salameno, a former con- “stable of the town of Westerly, was ‘before Williams in the Third district oourt, Friday morging, in which court he had frequently acted as interpreter, umudrmm g:‘.r;yinlg & concealed weapon. charge {s in comnection with one that preceded and for which he was indicted in the superior court for Washington county. The acoused was charged Wwith ad- sault with intent to kill Charles Brown in Westeriy nd the grand jury found an indictment on that charge, but the figiry brought In a verdict of sublty asesult with a dangeroiis ‘weapon. _Attorney Joha J. Duan, coun- sel for Salameno, so stated in the Third district court, and added that soutence had not been imposed yet. My, Dunn sald that after the trial in fhe superior court some of the jurors in the case, ai least three of them, t0ld him that the jury were not satis- fled that juale Salameno assaulted ‘Brown with intent to kill him. and therefors decided upon a verdict of assault with a dangerous weapon and would have lessened that charge were the case whoily at their discretion. The case is still in the superior court and if punished for assault with a dangerous weapon he should not suf- fer two pemalties for practically the same offense. Mr. Dunn said he had conversed with men who stood for the uplift of man and had considera- tion for the man who was down and eut and that they expressed sympathy for Balameno, who was now at work for his wife and five children and try- ing to relleve the burden he has mon his parents. In the past has been a working friend of the police and has aided the pros- ecutor. He has also aided the court by his efficiency as interpreter. and ousht to be given some favorable con- in the present case, as he will undoubtedly be punished by the superior court in the original offense, the present belng a part Harry B, Agard, town solicitor, ‘that Salameno is chatged with a concealed weapon on Feb- ruary 18 and at the same time he com- mitted the assault upon Brown and 19 one of the series of incidents at that time. Prior to the assault, for a pe- riod of several months, Salameno was without business or oocupation and 'was always more or less umder the effect of sirong drink. A man like him, with scant amount of brains, be- comes befuddled and dangerous and ought to be restrained. Proper pun- ishment would probably have a salu- effect upon him. Williams said that the state- ment of Attorney Duna in regard to his interview with the jurors in the assault cass in the superior court, had but very little weight with him, as| he had no encouragement for the ju- rors who violated their oath as jurors. The judge said while it would be a pleasure for him to extend the hand of assistance to Salameno, yet he had = _duty to perform in this case, as in wll others that were brought to him. ‘He adjudged Salameno guilty and im- m a fine of $100 and all costs and it for thirty days In the Providence county jail. Attorney Dunn ive notice of appeal and bond was ‘:‘I at $500, which was furnished ‘with the mother of accused as surety. The boiler and engine of the town| atone orushing plant, now located at the Smith Granite works, have served long and well and reached the limit of usefuluess. The highway commit- tee realising that this portion of the plant must be replaced has decided te substitute a modern electric motor, in the interest of efficiency and econ- ‘omy. At present there is necessity for an eer and the use of consider- able coal, but with a motor this ex- pense is ellminaied, and the total cost of operation will be fully one-half less than has beea paid for many years and the first cost of the motor will be con- siderably less than the purchase price of a new boller and engine. It is evi- dent that the new highway committee futends to depart from the old rut and will endeavor to conduct the depart- ment on a more economical and effi- cient basis, so that in the end the best results possible will come from the amount appropriated for the improve- ment of the public highways. The committee is composed of Councilmen Haswell, Flynn and Thomas. During the past vear over 3600 has been paid for the repair work on the stone orushing machine, which is now in fair working order. Before these repairs were made and a short fime before, the representative of a uilder of stone crushers offered to furnish & new stone crusher to the town of Westeriy in exchange for the ©old one and the payment of $600, de- Jivered free on board car at Westerly, fhe town to have the old crusher placed on car for shipment at town’s expense This offer was declined, a sum about equal to the purchase price expended in repatrs, and the town of Westerly #till has an old machine, while a new one could have been substituted and at no inoreased expen: Among those who took the compet- itive examination offered by Congress- man Peter Goelet Gerry were Philias Girouard of Hamilton and Harold E. McLellan of Westerly. Young Girouard received the appointment and McLel- lan was first alternate. Both passed satisfactory mental tests and Girouard went to Annapolis for the physical tests, which continued for two weeks. Owing to defective hearing Girouard was rejected and he has notified Mc- Lellan to that effect. McLellan has received no official notification to re- port at Annapolis for physical exam- ination for a cadetship in the navy, but expects to recelve such soon.

June 26—Mirs | Albert S. Burleson, wife of the Post- master General, in a communication to th National Geographic Sociely, at Washington, D. C., describes the wandering islands of the Rio Grarde, whose migrations from side to side of the water course have caused years of diplomatic correspondence and dis- ! cussion between the United States and Mexico. “The refusal of certain small boc of land to remain permanently at- tached to one or the other of the { river's banks deprived them of a fixed legal status as either Mexican or American territory and brought about their participation in many illegal and uprighteous adventures, which in {turn led «to misunderstandings _oe- | tween the two countries,” writes Mrs. | Burleson. | “In no river is spirit more evident !than in the Rio Grande. Along its sinuous route below Rio Grande ity it pushes its way through miles of level sand in ite final reach for the | Gulf, twisting and doubling upon 1 | seif like a sea serpent. In 1848 it was fixed upon as the boundary line ve- tween the United States and Me: . The boundary was to be the ‘middie of the river. following the deepest channel” But the river possessed characteristics that had not impressed themselves upon the framers of the convention as possible causes friction between the people living along its banks. In addition to its eroding power, exercised through long months of low and mean water. it could during flood periods leap with torrential force across a narrow neck of land at the base of one of its long loops and cut for itself a new chanrei Through such avulsive action of the river, Texas soil would sometimes become Mexican, and on occasions a plantation occupied bp jacals and Mex ican citigens would over night find it- seif a part of Toxas “An example will serve . 1o show both the extraordinary actions of the I river and the difficulties In the way of any satisfac 'y wdjustment of con- ! fiicting Interests.

S. A, appointed to repressnt the United States, we owe the final solution to the problem. He recom- mended that the ‘cut-offs’ be forever eliminated from the boundary line, all those occuring on the right of the river to pass to the jurisdiction of Mexico, those on the left to that of Texas. The inhabitants, if any, should retain | their citizenship in the country from which they had been so suddenly snd | violently detached, or they might ac- | quire the nationality of the country to which they were now attached. Any cut-off exceeding acres in area iand having a population of over 200 souls was mnot to be considered a banco, and the old bed of the river should remain the boundary.
