NORWICH BULLETIN, R RS T T TR AR S WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7 1914 WESTERLY MAN'S BAD FALL John Sullivan Slips Off Watch Hill Sea Wall, Dropping Eleven Feet—Mrs. Albert Boardman Administratrix of Mother’s Estate—State . Republican Slate. Central Committee Arranges The selected representatives of the rank and file of the republicans of Rhode Island have their convention work made easy by the state central committee, which makes all advance preparations with the understanding of certain approval. The executive com- mittee of the state central committee met on Monday and selected temporary officers for the conventions as follows: H. Anthony Dyer, chairman, and Na- than M. Wright and David J. White, clerks, all of Providence, state conven tion; Clark Burdick of Newport, chair- man, and John J. Lonergan of Warren, clerk, First congressional convention, Joseph E. Fletcher of North Kingston, chairman, and John J. Dunn of West- erly, clerk, Second congressional con- vention; George H. Burroughs of Paw- tucket, chairman, and Hugh Jarret of ‘Woonsocket, clerk, Third congressional convention. - Tuesday afternoon the committee held another session and decided upon the draft of the platform to be sub- mitted to the delegates to the state convention. In addition to the nomi- nees for office, the speakers at_ the convention will be United States Sen- atore Le Baron B. Colt and Henry F. Lippitt. The committee has decided upon the following state ticket, which doubtless will be nominated at the convention to e held in Providence today: R. Liv- ingstone Beeckman of Newport, gov- ernor; E. J. San Souci Providence, ljeutenant governor; J. d Parker of Providence, secretary of state; Her- bert A. Rise of Providence, attorney general; Walter A. Read of Glocester, general treasurer. Roswell B. Burchard of Little Comp- ton will be candidate for congress from the First district, and Ambrose Ken- nedy ¢? Woonsocke§ from the Third district.. There will be a contest for the nomi- nation in the Second district, as the state committee could not reach defi nite agreement. The candidates sug- gested are Walter: R. Stiners of War- wick and Henry Fletcher of Provi- dence, and it is expected that this will e the only contest of the conventions. 1t is claimed that both candidates have forces about equally divided and that if either should be nominated the feel- ing that would result would strengthen the chances of reselection of a demro- crat from the Second district. It is therefore probable that a dark horse will be trotted out from the political paddock and win in the ional race. Should such a condition mate- rialize, it is quite likely that Attorney Samuel H. Davis of Westerly will be the chosen one, as he is said to be a receptive candidate. " There are two factions in the little remnant of the democratic party in Westerly, the evidence of which came to the surface just after the town council appointed the supervisors for the coming election. It has been the custom for the committees of the re- publican and democratic parties to submit three names each as super- visors of election for the First and Second districts and the council se- lects two of each of the three names submitted. At the council meeting the republican committee sent in a list and two supervisors of that party were ap- pointed for, each district. There were two sets of candidates from the dem- ocratic party. Clerk Whipple explained that no @emocratic names had been received by him as the council session was ap- proaching. He met Horace Swan, a recognized democratic leader, and made known to him the omission. Soon thereafter Mr. Swan, signiag as a member of the state central committee and committeeman of the Second dis- trict, sent in a list of six names from which to select two for_each district. In the interim John A. Farrell, chair- man of the democratic town commit- teé, sent in a list of names. The councilmen were a bit confused and decided to select men named by Mr. m:(lll :or;:h gnme g}xtfl:‘s and those named by Mr. Swan for the Secon hlfizol}l:; district. % £ 2 chairman of the town committee Mr. Farrell protests against the coun- cil's action in taking recognition of the list sent in.by Mr. Swan and asks for a special session of the town council to rescind that action. Mr. Farrell cilams that the names sent in by him were the choice of a majority of the town committee, while Mr. Swan con- tends that the matter had not been acted upon by the committee and that ;?l:th;td Jjust as md“:lh right to submit a names as any of of’l"l‘l;e committee. e menber e general laws of Rhode Isl: specify that the supervisors Ghallajsg selected from lists presented by the town or Voting district committee.

Al- though the point at issue was of little real importance, it tended to serve that there was some political advan- tage to be at the head of the few democrats in Westerly, few ‘in com- mg:“::u; the re?ublfca.ns, ‘where s sure carry elelctl'?;n. S 0 Ty with it n the absence of President Wil Cualley, First Councilman Mu.\xrlceu? Flynn was chosen to preside at the special session. The vote of the meet- ing of Monday relating to the dem- ocratic supervisors of election was re- scinded. It was voted to delay the appointment of the supervisors until the 24th inst., the legal limit when appointment must be made. In the meantime there will be a legal meet- ing of the democratic town committee and six names be selected for submis- sion to the town council and four of the number will be elected supervisors “l'i‘l:he comélr;g election, e council granted the Italian so- cieties of Westerly permission to have All Dreggists. a2 Depart- mezt Stores, a display of fireworks in connection with the Columbus day celebration, under_the supervision of Chief of Po- lice Thomas E. Brown. The Atlantic Tuna club, the first of its kind er formed in this section of the United States, and which is to be located at Block Island, was char- tered on Tuesday at the office of the secretary of state for Rhode Island. Angling for the big fighting fish has only recently become popular off Block Island. Charles W, Willard, of Wes- terly, president of the Rhode Island Inland Fisheries commission / and treasurer of the American Fisheries association, made personal investiga- tion of the conditions and decided to form a club patterned after the famous fishing organizations of Florida and California, where the playing of the tuna with rod and reel is regarded as the king of marine sports. The incerporators are: Charles W. ‘Willard of Westerly, A. J. Crandall of Ashaway, H. V. Foster of Bartlesville, Okla., Dr. Charles K. Stillman of Mys- 48 hours after ap- tic, Conn., L. Dana Chapman of Bos- ton, George L. Shepley of Providence, Frederick S, Dormtus of New York and Daniel B. Fearing of Newport. John Sullivan, stone mason, while at work in construction of the sea wall at Watch Hill at the life saving station Tuesday morning, was - severely in- jured. He fell a distance of 11 feet and struck on a pile of rocks. Dr. M. H. Scanlon was summoned and gave the needed treatment. Mr. Sullivan Teceived a scalp wound over the right ear about three inches long and which extended into the muscles, and cuts of about equal length and depth on the front and back of the head, and there is ?ncuulon of the brain. The back of his neck was severely bruised and there were several minor cuts and bruises. Mr, Sullivan was taken to his home, 107 Liberty street, in the doe- tor’s automobile. John Ahern, employved at the New- dll quarry, had the forefinger of his right hand crushed between two rocks while at work on Tuesday morning. The vote in favor of no license in the town of Stonington, which includes the village of Pawcatuck, has encouraged the Westerly no license committee to increased efforts in the hope of placing ‘Westerly back into the no license col- umn, thereby making it impossible to legally buy a drink of that which in- toxicates in the twin villages. One prominent in the no license movement declares that the biggest fight against license. of liquor selling in Westerly is now on and will be fought to a finish, even if there is no opponents visible on the firing line. g Earl Budiong, of Auburn, made a rare catch while fishing off Beaver Tail light, Sunday, capturing a shark sucker, or sucking fish, which is new to_northern waters. The fish is about twenty inches in length and on the top of the head is an gval sucker about five by two inches. With this sucker the fish attaches itself to a shark and for the rest of the time that it cares to stay with the shark, it gets free Todging and board. The fish is com- mon in southern waters, but is not in- clined to the chill of the waters of this latitude. It is known to scientists as echeneis naucrates. This specimen is the first that has been taken in Rhode Isfand within the memory of the oldest fisherman. Mrs, Grace L. M, Boardman, of Nor- wich, was a'pfinlnnd administratrix of the estate of her mother, Mary L. Mel- ville, who died recently at Westerly, at a sesslon of the probate court held Tuesday afternioon, Judge Edward M. Burke presiding. Mrs. Boardman is the only heir-at-law. Bond was fixgd at $7,000 and the appraisers are Clif- ford W. pbell, Arthur L. Perry and Thomas Perry. Dr. Samuel C. Webster was appointed resident agent of the administratrix. The petition of Charles Wilcox, ad- ministrator, to expend the sum of $400 for the erection of a monument at the graye of Albert R. Wilcox, was con- tinued until the year shall have elapsed for the presentation of claims against the estate, The inventories of these éstates were received and ordered recorded: Estate Alice A Bupdick, value $18,535.9; Sarah A. Congdon, $20.58; Charles H. Babcock, $46.52. Annie E. Allison was appointed guardian of the person and estate of Samuel A. Allison. Bond $1,000. The court appointed Eugene B.

Captain Cyril L, D, Wells, who su- perintended " the constructich of the new town hall and court house, in ‘Westerly, is commander of the Fourth company, Providence, First Coast De- fense. He has entered a protest against awarding the Governor's Tro- phy to the Third company, claiming that two of the members were not eli- gible to participate in the competitive rifle match. The men objected to are Privates Sweeting and Lovell, the lat- ter qualifying as a sharpshooter and the former as a marksman, The claim is made that both men were members of the First Light In- fantry regiment and as such fired the regular course as prescribed for men of the chartered command. They later enlisted in the Third company, both having previously been members of the command, and fired again, quali- fying for a second time. This is claimed as irregular by Captain Wells, his point being that no mar can qual- ify in two courses in the same Tifle practice season. So close is the race for the Governor’s Trophy between the two companies that the disqualification of the two men will change the des- tination of the trophy from the Third to the Fourth compan: Herbert J. Eaton, the young wine clerk, who was shot by Daniel E. Fo- ley, formerly of Westerly, now on the New York “detective force, while at- tempting to escape from arrest last ‘Wednesday night, will live, according to physicians at the Knickerbocker hospital, and wiil stand trial on the charges against him. Believing he was on his deathbed, Eaton confessed that he had committed thefts involv- tng at least $20,000, The old-time double-decked hand fire_engine Hay Cart, of Pawtucket, formerly the Rhode leland One, of Westerly, participated in the firemen’s muster at Brockion last week, The best the men on the brakes could male the old tub do was to finish 22 in a clasg of 32 and hang up a card for ofily 183 feet $ inches, below the aver- ege of the contest, which was 132 feet 10 1-4 inches.

Why Land Posted. Hunters will find a large per cent of the 1and in this town and Lisbon post- ed. The farmers’ chief concern is not that a few birds may be secured by the hunters, but they object and right- 1y too, to the tearing down of walls and fences, the leaving of barways open, the carelessness about fire and other things which the careful hunter will not do.

Meriden—In order to give working pegple from out of town the full bene- fit of Meriden's big Dollar day, today (Wednesday), the local stores have agreed to keep open until 9.30 that night.

Alling end Henry Dottomley, Mrs. ural growthers' ovster fleet left this for, and how grateful we ought to be for all the blessings we enjoy. While other lands and other nations are rent and devastated by armed confiict which in magnitude and extent is without precedent and surpesses com- prehension, our people and our beioved country are undisturbed. What a debt of gratitude we owe to the fathers who left the feuds and quar- rels of the old world behind them and created this great and free democ- racy in_the New Worid as the fit- ting home of themselves and of their children for all time! How wisely they builded and how splendidly they established! With what an unerring and prophetic visfon the Father of his Country warned us to avoid entdng- ling alllance with all forecign nations, and how fortunate we have been that his advice has been heeded by the statesmen who followed him! While the contending nations of Europe are adjusting their differences at the edge of the sword, we are preparing to submit our .difference of opinion to the peaceful arbitrament of the bal- lot-box. We suffer from no ill in this country that connot be remedied whenever a majority of the people de- cide what remedy to apply. To be sure there will always be wrongs to right and evils to correct.

His attitude since the campaign is corroborative evidence of the public estimate. If, in comins election, he' is informed by the voters that his best place for usefulness is at home, thelr action will be commend- ed by the rest of the State as emin- ently sensible—Bristol Press. Heretofore an importer of the metal in all its forms, Japan has become an exporter of refined zine. GAS, HEARTBURN, INDIGESTION OR ASICK STOMACH and as our intellectual conceptions change ouf statutes wiil have to be changed to keep pace with them. “But we must be careful that in our attempts at improvements we retain our sense of proportion and do not acquire the habit of fault-finding. It is also well to bear in mind that in pop- ular government where changes or re- forms are to be made and the minds of great masses of citizens are to be convinced upon the merits of the changes, there is danger in attempting to accomplish a multitude of reasons at one time. In the conduct of affairs of government by political parties it is wise that men stculd attempt to agree principally upon fundamentals and that the infinite number of minor matters and details should be left to be worked out by -the departmental machinery of the political party which the country makes responsible for the administration of affairs. 2 “In the maln, both the theory and structure of our government are soursl. We should avoid the manufacture of issues which are not real and substan- tial, and the advocacy of changes which are not needed. The frequency in the recurrence of our elections fur- nishes an incentive to the urging of experimental policies. It is only nec- essary to recall the political history of a few decades to perceive that meas- ures which were at one time urged with frenzied energy as necessary to our salvation have been repeatedly rel- egated to the scrap-heap, and colld not command a respectable following today. The professicnal agitator and the demagogue are always alert to snatch up some nostrum which will give them notoriety and meet with an ephemeral popularity. ' This tendency has become almost epldemic. Change is not necessarily progress or better- ment. We have plenty of energy and sound judgment. “Any successful builder nf an auto- mobile will tell you it is easy enough to get all the motive power you wish, but unless it is proportioned to th weight, strength and structure of your car, it is more than lfkely that your automobile will not stay in the road. ‘We have a superfluity of motive power —let us realize that we are running an intricate piece of governmental mechanism through complicated and continually changing conditions. ~ Let us operate our machine so that it will stay on the track and bring us through Compliment Not Deserved. Congressman-Mayor Mahan of New London failed to land the senatorship prize, but was accorded the consola- tion of a unanimous nomination for his present office. Still, he is sulky and refused to even thank his friends for the compliment, which, by the way, is not deserved. Perhaps he is miffed be- cause he has not as yet been renomi- nated for the mayorship too. Con- BULLETIN'S PATTERN SERVICE 1089 A SEASONABLE MODEL, EASY TO DEVELOP.
