IMATTERS _ INTERESTING WESTERL -Pake- Fire - Alarms - Becoming Too-Numerous---Progessives and Socialists Not Considered in State Polities-—Funersl of Edward B. Pendleton—Edward-Man, ington, Seriously Injured. Vs False fire- alazms are ail too fre- quent”in Westerly and are gradually bec: cpidemic, challenging the ef- forts of Chiet Engineer Cottrell and Chief of Police Brown to end the crim- inal tomfoolery. The latest was sent lin from Box 68, and the Cycle auto wagon responded promptly and) a {auick run to the box only shewed that tho alarm had been sent in, but no ! justification for the alarm could be found in the neighborhood. Since the addition of two motor-driven appar- atus to the department, four months 2o, thers have been more calls than were the average of past years and many more false alarms in propor- S tion. But very little wind is required to raise the granite dust in Dixon square as that materis! is constantly used as n top dressing for that section of the highways, It has long since been dem- opstrated that granite dust is unsuit- able in connection with highway con- Struction and repairs, but the high- way committee persists in its use per- or the reason that it is a local r regardless of its worth for that purpose. As a result the dust nnisance prevalls in the square on ery windy occasion. This used to be rtially overcome by sprinkling the rface with oil, but nowadays it is no oil and all finely pluverized gran- to dust. Rhode fisland skunk hunters who have made it a profitable business to capture the animals for their pelts during the fall months, are not doing much skunk hunting as the dema.nd as fallen off and the prevailing price jardly compensates for the hunting, skinning and shipping of the pelt. Most of the skins were shipped to and France, where Alaska sable, but longer exists reason of the war, or perhaps the arlff. The present market value is mit $1 for a number one skin, as compared with a value of from $3.50 and, German: were sold as the market abroad no io $4 last season. The skunk pelt furnishes the bulk of this country’s export fur trade. Frederick C.

About the onnly obstacle to the suc- cessful raising the rest of the fund is the fear entertained by some dank- ers that the fund may be held to have been raised in violation of the Sher- man anti-trust law. This was characterized tonight by Mr. McaAdoo as ‘‘pure buncombe.” It is known, howsver. that the matter has proved sufficiently serious to bring about a request from the federal re- serve board or other authorities for an opinion from Attorney Genaral Gregory -as to its legality. Distrust of the Jawfulness of the plan has come largely from New 8- land. Bankers and others there are said to be chary of it because of the recent indictments of former directors of the New Haven road. They e pointed, too, to the scguisition of the Tenpessee Coal and Iron company years ago by the United States Steel corporation, a transaction sanctioned by the authorities here, but held sub- sequently by others to have been in violation of the Sherman act: CONTRABAND PASSING THROUGH ITALIAN PORTS, { Information is in Possession of Britisn Government. London, Nov. 6, 8.40 p. m.—Informa- tion is in the possession of the British government, it is said, which proves conclusively that very large shipments of copper, rubber and other commod- jties are passing through Italian ports on their way_to Germany- In New York larg epurchases of copper are beinz made by representa- tives of houses in Rotterdam, Amstor- dam and Copenhagen who, it is stated, are working on German account. Di- rections at the same time are given that these consignments of copper are to be shipped through Italian ports to the order of various financial institu- tions which are said to be controlled largely by German capital. American copper refiners appear to be capable of protecting their own interests, since they usually insist upon payrgent in cash before they allow the copper to be shipped. The British government is deter- mined that it will use every legitimate means to prevent copper reaching Germany, whers it is being made into ammunition for use against the Brit- ish forces. Great Britain, therefore, is diverting various steamers which are carrying copper to Italy to Gibraltar, ‘where the copper is discharged. The steamers are promptly released. ‘Some of this copper actually~Jas been found paciced in cases marked for Danzig. Other lots are shipments made ‘upon orders through German houses in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Some of these houses are said to be connected with the Krupps, manufacturers o fbig 6 October, 25 vessels bound from v York for Italy, having on board a al of 7,000 tons of copper, have becn erted to Gibraltar, and fhe British government is informed that some thousands of tons additional are now en roufe to Italy. GERMANY_;ECOM;\iE»;‘JVDlsA PROTECTION OF JEWS. Has Twice Sent Notes to Turkish Gov- ernment to That Effect. New York, Nov: 6.—The safety of Jews in _Turkey has twice been the subject of representations made to the porte by Germany, according to a statement given out here tonight by Tount Von Bernstorff, German ambas- sador to the United States. The state- ment read “Some time ago the German imperial government warmly recommended to Turkey the protection of Jews of whatever natlonali Recently, prior to the outbreak of the war, this recom- mendation was renewed. “It had been feared that the nu- merous Jews in Turkey would, in case of war, be endangered, not only on ac- count of their religion, but also for the non-Turkish nationality. Many Jews who have resided in Turkey for years are not, up to this day, Ottoman ci zens. “It is, therefore, reassuring to learn that Germany bas warmly recommend ed to Turkey the protection of all Jews, irrespective of nationality.” GENERAL IMPROVEMENT IN FINANCIAL SITUATION i’ Dealings in Listed and Unlisted Bonds and Notes Totaled $2,000,000, New York, Nov. 6.—Two develorments ed in the financial situation today One was the rather free lending of six months money at 5 3-4 per cent on mixed collateral, as agai long-standing six per cent. rate and the other was the sale of “he New NDED AT ARR B AND WOUNDED * i AFTER BATTLE NEAR ARRAS 1 lie curtain on the siage of war after a day's tragedy is over.
