Willis, Native of Lebanon. John Negrey, a laborer employed in the section of the Newall quarTy near Bradford, in the town of Charlestown, just over the Westerly boundary line, was fatally injured while at his work Saturday morning. With other work- men he was engaged in shoveling when a portion of a gravel bank not over a_cartload, gave way, which struck Negrey with great force, knocking him down and partially burying him, He ‘was - promptly rescued by his fellow workmen and it was evident tha he had sustained serious injury. Drs. Briggs and Marr were summoned from Ashaway and when they arrived there was still life in the injured man, but he died soon after. Medical Exam- iner Dr. Rouse was called and an ex- amination showed that Negrey's left shoulder wes fractured, three Tibs broken and that there was a com- pound fracture of both legs and sev- eral other exterior injuries and others of an internal nature. The body was taken to Westerly by Undertaker Murphy and prepared for burial. Negrey is about 21 years of age and unmarried. Work was sus- pended at the quarry for the balance of the day and the many friends of the dead young man were about the undertaking establishment explaining to each other just how the fatality occurred and extolling the good quali- ties of the deceased. To accommodate Horace A, Edge- comb, stenographer for_the supreme court of Massachusetts, Judge Edward M. Burke held a special session of the Westerly probate court, Saturday afternoon, ip connecticn with the ad- mission to probate of the will and cod- icil of Mary J. Wilcox, Mr, Edgecomb being a witness to the will and his testimony being necessary for the le- gal identification of the instrument. The will was admitted to probate and Bthan Wilcox was confirmed as ex- ecutor, under a bond of $4,000 witl out surety. The appraisers appoin ed arve Frederic R. Wilcox of Westerly, William A. Bradford of Quincy and C._Clifford Bradford of Attleboro. Joseph T, Murphy, administrator of the estate of Mary Sullivan, was au- thorized to sell at private sale for a not less than $37.92, a deposit in the Mechanics Savings bank of Westerly, which is now in process of liquidation. The George W. Moore and company, manufacturers of elastic fabric, Westerly’s busiest industry, being o erated night and day in order to sup- ply their product which is all taken by corset manufacturers. The com- pany manufactures several grades and widths of elastic fabric, from one to twenty inches in width, and the week- ly output at present is over 278,000 yards. This company purchased 'the plant constructed for the Westerly Narrow Fabric company, installed en- tirely new machinery, with several attachments of the invention of George W. Moore, who has nearly two hun- dred patents on textile machinery, and whd began work in the elastic fabric trade when ten years of age in Eng- land. Mr, Moore began his business here without blare of trumpets, without the aid of the Westerly Board of Trade, and without asking for the financial aid of the people of Westerly. Mr. Moore bought the property about four years ago and when, with other man- wfacturers, he appeared before the Westerly town council in regard to the MYSTIC Rev. C, T. Hatch Closing Six Years’ Pastorate at Methodist Church, Pre- sented Purse of Gold. Rev, C. T. Hatch, pastor of the M. E. church, was genuinely- surprised Friday evening. A prayer meeting was appointed at the home of Clinton Gurney that evening and the members of the congregation wishing to have things changed a little telephoned Mr. Hatch and asked him if it would not be convenient to have the service in the church. When Mr, Hatch arrived at the church the vestry was filled with people. Not surmising anything he conducted the meeting. As he was about to promounce the benediction Herbert Gurney came forward and in a fitting speech presented Mr, Hatch a purse of gold in behalf of those present. Mr. Hatch was some sur- prised and thanked all those that had helped to make the gift. On Tuesday Mr, Hatch leaves for the Southern New England conference, closing a six years pastorate in this village, during which time the church has made a steady increase. He leaves Mystic with many friends in and out of the church. On Sunday morning he preached his farewell sermon and in the evening prayed for benedictions on all the church.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children ( InUse For Over 30 Years Al'nguu Sigrature of *¥ MAHONEY BROS. Hack, Livery and Boarding |Has Removed his Office to the | Stable FALLS AVENUE e gusrantes our service to be the DR. W. W. LEONARD THAYER BUILDING, ten years’ exemption of taxes allowed for new industries, he was_satisfied with the proposition that he be grant- | ed the defunct Westerly Narrow Fab- | ric company and which proved a se- rious financial loss to many citizens of_the town. In answer to queries concerning his business, Mr. Moore modestly told the council that he had been carrying on the business in Worcester for several years and he belleved he could do business to better advantage in Wes- terly. It was a case of work with him, he said, and that work was no stranger to him. He certainly has worked to make the Westerly venture a suc- cess, and with his two sons, who are also’ real workers and who have full knowledge of all the details of the business the concern has become the buslest in the town. There are about 150 persons employed at good wages. Mr, Moore has since purchased the large tract adjoining his plant and is planning for additions to his mill property. He has also in course of construction nearby one of the finest residences in_ the town. The Moore family and their plant are -valuable acquisitions to the town. Their com- ing has also aided in the increase in population to over 10,000, as among the male employes of the plant there is only one who is a native of We terly, the others havinb specially trained for the work before coming to Westerly. Nutziato DeBartolo was arraigned Saturday evening before Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third district court, at Westerly, changing on the 4th day of April, 1915, violent assault upon the body of Luigi Pelligrino. De Bar- telo entered a plea of not guilty. He was adjudged probably guilty and was held in default of bonds of 320,000 for a hearing in the district court nex Friday. > and the complainant, told the court that he had visited the wounded man Saflirday morning in the Rhode Island hospital. The shot fired by the ac- cused had entered the body of Pelli grino just to the right of the navel and came ‘out just above the right hip, making nine punctures in the intes- tines. These wounds had been closed and the surgeon in charge at the ho: pital said that the chances of recov- ery were not favorable, but while there was life there was hope. Chief Brown believes that it was the intention of De Bartelo to kill Pelligrino when he invited him to walk with him_from the boarding place to the De Bartelo home. Just before leaving the boarding house De Bartelo was seen to take a long carving knife and place it in his pocket, which the boarding mistress succeeded in secur- ing before he left and without the knowledge of De Bartelo. Chief Brown has possession of this knife and it may be used as evidence against De Bartelo when the case reaches the superior court, Forty-eight hours work with fifty- five hours pay prevails under the new schedule at the Cottrell plant, and for the first period in its long existence, there is no Sunday work in its sched- ule and, as the management is of the Seventh-day Baptist _demonination there has never been work on Satur- day, the Sabbath day. The forty-eight hours is so distributed as to permit a part holiday on Friday. For sev- eral months this plant has been on greatly reduced time and with a re- duced working force. Now there is material Increase in business and con- sequent increase in number of em- ployes and more satisfactory working conditions. Chief of Police Brown has sent out to police of other places in the hope of apprehending Frank Filgolna, known as Frank Falcone, and commonly call- ed The Indian, from his racial similar- ity to an Indian, but he is an Italian, height about 5 ft. 8 1-2 inches; weight about 150 pounds; black hair and dark brown eyves, small mustache: swarthy complexion; he shows his teeth when talking, and same are very white; he has a scar over the left eye; he has a tendency to hesitate, or lisp his words, and at times speaks back In his throat, so it is hard to understand him. This man was born in_ Acri, Italy, April 2, 1887, emigrated from Naples on the Republic, and arrived in New York March 5, 1905. He is a quarry- man and worked for the Crumb Quatr- ry company of Westerly, at their quar- ry located at Bradford. Chief Brown holds a ‘warrant for his arrest for committing a violent assault upon Frank May with a dan- gerous weapon April 1, 1915, Arthur W. Spargo, of Hartfor merly of Westerly, and for several years employed in the Brown Thomp- son store, Hartford, died Saturday morning in St. Francls hospital in that city from injuries received in an automobile accident, Friday evening. He was riding with Leon W. Parker Wwhen their automobile struck a West Hartford trolley car head-on. Spargo sustained a fracture of the skull and Parker escaped with cuts in the head and face. Parker turned to close the automobile door when in front of St. Joseph's cathedral, and when he look- ed ahead again there was another au- tomobile standing in front of the cath- edral. In order to avold collision, Parker swerved the car sharply to the left and smashed into the troiley car.

Turkist City a Rich Produce Exchange e Harbor and Known as “First City of Asia. (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, D. C. April 11.—De- scribing the Turkish city of Smyrna, which has been bearing the brunt of an alleged attack in the Near Mast, today’s statement of the Natlonal Geographic society says: “Smyrna has occupied its place upon the map for more than 3,000 years, and through all this time it has retained its ancient name, its mixed character of East and West, and its significance in the world of trade. From the first, it has been a rich produce exchange, a-great caravansary, and an important harbor, receiving merchant ' fleets un- der every flag. Known to the olden Greeks as ‘The .First City of Asia,’ it survives, in the present, the greatest city in Asia Minor, and the sgcond port of an extensive empire, “While Ephesus, Miletus, Sardis, Magnesia, Pergamus and Halicarnassus have faded away. Smyrna has con- tinued its story of untiring centuries. It has risen superior to every stress, remaining today what it was yesterday, as Iasting as Mount Pagus at its back. The rise, splendor and decay of sreat empires have formed but fmomentary episodes in this city's life, whose his- tory stretches from the 11th century before the birth of Christ down to the present day. It, most truly, deserves the title of Eternal City; for-it, like the phoenix of mythology, has never renewed its nerveless age by a more magnificent youth, “Smyrna_was founded by Aeolian Greeks upon the. natural outlet of an important trade route. It grew-rapidly into wealth and power, and early took the lead among the citles of Asia Minor. lonian Greeks conquered the city in the 7th century B. C., and under these masters it plaved a leading role in the Ionean league. Jealous of its tremendous riches, the Lydians cap- tured and conscientiously - destroyed Smyrna in 575 B. C. Their endeavors were so thorough that there remained but & village until after the Mace- donianco nquest. Alexander the Great caused the city to be rebuilt. and it was laid out with extravagant magnif- icence. Among the many beautiful buildings of this new city was the Homereum, where the poet, Homer, was worshiped as a hero. The Sele- uoidae declared the city sacred and inyiolable. “In the days of Roman conquest, Smyrna was the great world center of art and learning, somewhat the Paris of that early age. The Romans, who treated the city well, called it the ‘Philosophers’ Grove,’ and also ‘The Oasis of the Muses and the Graces.’ For many generations, Smyrna was the proudest_ Asiatic possession of the By- zantine Empire of the East. In 1402, it was destroved by the Mongols of Tamerlane, gnd such of its inhabitants as could be found were killed. When it fell to the Turks, Smyrna received another loving nickname. It was call- ed ‘The Eye of Asia Minor.’ “The city liés at the head of the Gulf of Smyrna, some 200 miles south- west of Constantinople, with which it is now connected by rail. The fore- ground of the port is level ground, while the background is cut by the sharp shoulder of Mount Pagus. There is a population of more than 260,000, of which about one-half is Greek, one- fourth Mohammedan, while Armenians and Jews make up the greater part of the remainder. There were also & large number of European residents before the war, who, in the order of their numbers, were French, English, Italian, Swiss and German. Greek is the language of greatest currency, and, at the war's outbreak, French was the most useful tongue for the visiting foreigner. 2 “Smyrna was divided into five quar- ters, for the Turk, the Jew, the Ar- menian, the Greek, and the Buropean. The Turkish and Jewish quarters were devious, overcrowded, squallid and for- Lidding. The Armenian and Greek sectlons were well-built, with wider and cleaner streets, and of more sat- isfying _appearance. The _European section was Smyrna’s glory. Here were the finest thoroughfares, the most im- posinz buildings, a sharply contrasting cleanliness, and the lovely water front. The strange organization of the city has given occasion for the development of a curlous municipal government. The Christlan and Jewish communities have separate élected councils, which resided over. by their respective religious heads. “The trade of Smyrna is large. It is worthy of note under present con- ditions that the greatest part of this trade was in'the hands of the English. It has an annual import of about $15, 000,000 and an annual export of nearly $20,000,000. The imports are manu- factures, coal, and iron; and the ex- ports are mainly figs, the. famous Smyrna rugs, raisins, tobacco and SHE” - No Extra Session.
