Buffum of Westerly and Miss Vera D. Bradley of Stonington, whose mar- riage engagements have been an- nounced. Fifty members of Loyal Pride New England lodge, Westerly, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Manchester Unity, are planning to visit Loyal Hugh H. Osgood Lodge, Norwich, Friday evening. The trip will be made by special trolley car. At the winter meeting of the Rhode Island Library association it was vot- ed to cooperate with the State Board of Education, toward the enaction of a law giving pensions to lbrarians. A vote was also passed favorable to the establishment of libraries in the high scheols of the state. The trolley car due to arrive In ‘Westerly frcm Groton at 4:40 in the afternoon met with a mishap when near the little oyster shack not far from Noank. A freig] Lar was at a standistill near that pbint and al- though the motorman of the passenger car applied the emergency brakes, the car could not be stopped until after it struck the freight car. The for- ward end of the passenger car was damaged. The passenger were given a sudden jolt but nonme were injured. An entertainment is to be given in Westerly under the auspices of the Wellesley College alumnae of Wester- ly, for the benefit of the Wellesley re- storation fund. A moving picture en- titled “At Wellesley” the exclusive preperty of the college will be a feat- ure of the entertainment and another feature of interest will be the Brown University Glee club quartette. The pictures will be reproductions of scenes on the campus, rowing, basket- ball, hockey and tennis, the Tree Day pageant in June and the play Medeo given by one of the literary societies. The fire slarm was sent in wrong from Box 41, Main and School streets, that is, the lever was not pulled only 2 part of the distance required, caus- ing a jumbled alarm, which puzzled the firemen who were in readiness to respond. Then the alarm was sent in roperly and the fire apparatus was gt gla Iocation of the fire in a jiffy and suceeded in extingulshing the blaze before serious damage resulted. The fire was in the attic of the house No. 41 School street owned by Albert H. Langworthy, and occupied by the family of Willlam R. Dove, the De- Janey sisters and Thomas W. Coy. When the- firemen arrived the flame was pouring out of a window in the Dove apartment, the chemicals fail- ed 'and a stream of water soon sub- dued the flame and before it burned through the roof. The fire wa® con- fined to the attic room, where it originated, the contents of which were more or less’ burned. The fire started in a bureaun drawer and presumably was caused by a lizhted match, carelessly dropped by one of the Dove boys, who was in the room a short time before the discov- ery of the fire which was first seen by George W. Burdick from his home Elm street. He promptly notified the occupants of the house and the fire alarm was sent in as quickly as pos- sible. The loss by fire and water is estimated at §500.

Ellington Firebug Detected as Result of Keenness of Rockville Police Deog. A bloodhound, and not State Police. man Robert T. Hurley alone, should have the credit for tracing the fire- bug, Lawrence A. Welch, who set fire to a shed in Eillington Wednesday night and confessed to the crime Sat- urday. The dog belongs to Captain Krause of the Rockville police force and is one of a pair which he procured a year ago to run down burglars with. After the fire First Selectman John H. Lynch telephoned 1o Captain Krause to send the bloodhounds over to Ellington. The female has a lit- ter of puppies and had to be kept home, but the male dog was sent over in charge of Supernumerary Schultz. Although the captain couldn’t say how the dog would act when trying the traii alone, he concluded to give the animal a chance. At the Partridge barn, the natural conclusion was that the firebug would have gone across a cornfield, back of the barn, as there are houses on both sides of the Partridge barn and the main street is in front, but the dog persisted in taking a different csurse, going around an old chicken house and back into the barn'where the men were who had put out the fire. That proved the right scent, as ‘Welch, after setting the fire and cir- cling out around the icken yard, where he waited to see if the fire was discovered, returned and mingled with the fire fighters and apparently was working as hard as anyone to help put the fire out. Welch, who was ar- rested by State Policeman Hurley af- terwards, admitted that he set the barn afire and said he made the cir- cuit as indicated by the hound. Captain Krause procured the pair of ‘bloodhound puppies a year and a half ago. The announcement that Rock- ville had bloodhounds seems to have had the effect of putting a stop to local burglaries in residential sections. For the past year. the captain and some of the supernumeraries have been training the dogs and one trip to the neighborhood of Coventry was a memorable on¢ for the man who was aiding the police in training the dogs. He left the fair grounds east of the city, and traveled about five miles, landing in Coventry, where the dogs trailed him, chasing him through barns and outbufld!nts. and finally “treeing” their quarry on the roof ot a small shed, where he had climped in an effort to fool the animals.

The com- mittee of state bankers, appointed for the purpose of considering this gles- tion several months ago at the Rich- mond méeting of the American Bank- ers’ association, later announced its inability to solve the problem for the present. The bankers will continue considera- tion of this-matter and the board prob- ably will take it up also with the gov- ernors of the twelve reserve banks on Thursday and with the federal advis- ory council at its first meeting to be >ntatively offer- =2d one suggestion which did not meet i great favor among board mem- They proposed that state banks and trust colipanies be permitted to quit the federal stem without the -ess of -liquidation now required of anks which give up their membership. Tt was® pointed out that if a large number of statf bankers were to enter the system and were to be- come a vital part of it they might be able in the future to exert undue in- fluence through such an arrangement. The board, some of its members said, might find embarrassment in the abil- ity of thousands of bankers to witl dra £ it made rulings which they did not dike. TO LENGTHEN YEAR - AT VALE UNIVERSITY Suggashon Made by Secretury Stokes Would Add a Week, New Haven, Conn., Dec. 8.—A sug- gestion to lengthen the univer: sity vear at Yale by a week is made by Secre- tary Anson Phelps Stokes, in his an- nual report made public today. Mr. Stokes traces the calendar changes since the earliest days and the com- parison is striking. In 1745, the total vacation periods amounted to eight weeks, with 44 weeks of study. In 1913, counting in all the extra ex- cused work days, inciuding Sundays, allowances for “cuts,” etc., Mr. Stokes finds that the Yale student has 186 1-2 days of rest from the labors of the other 178 1-2. : The secretary believes that the year should start one week earlier, as is the custom in many colleges. He also suggests that a short optional reading term be started September 6th, which would give two or three weeks of lit- erary work prior to the beginning of the regular term. SOUTHWESTERN RAILROADS FILE FREIGHT RATE ADVANCE If Not Suspended Increase Will Be- come Effective Jan. 5, ‘Washington, Dec. S.—Advances in freight rates, ranging from § to 15 per cent., have been filed with the In- terstate Comimmerce Commission by the railroads of the southwestern terri- tory. If not suspended, the increases will become effective on January 5. The advances, which apply particu- larly to commodities, affect all freight but not in the same proportion. The increase is not a flat advance, appli- cable alike to all commodities as was the case with the proposed advance by the eastern lines, but varies with the commodity, with the volume of traffic, with competition and with other con- ditions. The tariffs filed propose increases on fresh meats, packing house pro- ducts, foodstuffs generally, bullding materials, machinery, agricultural im. plements and on practically all of the standard freight commodities. Adulterated Cocoa’ at Rotterdam. Rotterdam, Dec, §, via London, 4.50 p. m.—The police today raided a build- ipg which they suspected was being used by men who were exporting cocoa. to Germany. They discovered not only guantities of cocoa ready for ship- ment, but many barrels of sand and sawdust with which thrifty emporters were plentifully adulterating the cocoa. | ahsence of the picturesque A coin in the slot machine has beén | now, in instant communication by means of invented for checking umbrellas, canes| be or small packages in public places. nmmaucomrumwmmnsm g e e can Principle?

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 8.—College students are the most efficient and de- pendable harvest hands, said W. L. O’Brien, commissioner of labor for Kansas, teday. Mr. O'Brien addressed the committee meeling here under the auspices of the United States commis- sion on industrial relations, to work out systematic distributing of harvest labor in the principal grain growing states. “We correspond with about thirty colleges each spring,” he said. “The boys come in bunches and work intel- ligentl; ‘When they finish in one lo- cality, they telegraph to headquarters asking where to go next.” STORM DAMAGE ALONG NEW JERSEY COAST Absecon Isiand &uuimd $250,000 Loss by the Northeaster.
