MATTERS INTERESTING WESTERLY Installation of Nelson Lodge, Sons of St. George—Opening of Band Concert Season Thursday Evening—New Looms for Textile Company’s Plant—Norwich Visitors Chief of Polite Brown, backed by the Westerly town council, is deter- mined to enforce the automobile reg- ulations, the reform having been ai- ready commenced in the Bass-Carpen- tier cases, who scoffed at the police regulations in this “bush town.” There are chauffeurs at Watch Hill who came from large cities and have the idea that the police regulations in a place the size of Westerly are a joke. In consequence the automobile operators give exhibitions of their expert work by fast driving and reckless manipula- tion in congested sections, regardless of the safety of others. In the past the local police have been lenient with visiting automobilists in the early part of the season, in the hope that as the season advanced, they would fit themselves to the local con- ditions, and this method has proven ef- fective. But thus early in the present seasom the recklessness of drivers has been of such a nature that leniency has ceased to be a virtue and the po- lice will enforce the laws fearlessly and without discrimination. Deputy Grand President John T. Parker, assisted by Deputy Grand Mes- senger’ Alfred J. Martin, installed these officers of Nelson lodge, Sons of St. George: Joseph L, Ashworth, pres- ident; William J. Clemens, vice pres- ident; Raymond H. Bliven, messenger; James R. Johns, se(‘r?tnry" James H. Bishop, treasurer; George T. Howard, assistant _secretary; . Philip H. Opie, trustee. It was voted to ntinue the subscriptions for the Prince of Wal fund. which has already reacl 000 for the Sons of St. George, and i to be added to the National Relief fund.

This remark created a more profound impression abroad than it did in this country as has since been evidenced in many ways.

Later, armed with legal artillery, the attorneys returned to Mr. Mooney's office. Before they could start north- ward the voice of Mrs. Volck at the telephone announced that her husband had left and that she and her baby were free. A half hour later no one could be fc d in the apartment. Mrs. Volck and her child had taken advan- tage of the open door to leave for the home of her father. The last word which Mrs, Volck had received from her husband before his unexpected return was a note now in poscsession of Mr. Mooney and sup- posed to refer to his intended enlist- ment in the German army It said “When I arrive abroad I hope immedi- ately to get what I planned, which, of course, will give me the necessary amount to live on, I suppose no more.” Mr. and Mrs. olck were married by the Rev.

Warden Cornelius Crandall has been appointed a committee to secure a suitable place in the borough for the exhibition, to report to a meeting to be held early next week. The Electric Chair. The chauffeurs at Watch Hill had great sport with a settee charged with electricity last season, until the_trick was turned upon Chief of Police Brown, when the sport came to sud- den stop. Now there is a chair on an estate not far from the borough which employes charge with electricity when- ever a victim sits in that chair, and thus far those who have been electrified treat the matter just as it is intended, a fun-maker, and join in the sport and help to seek vistims. Wires have also been arranged so that the current’can be turned on and give shock when at- tempt is made to open what is termed the electric door. It is believed that if the trick was turned on the owner of the estate where the electric sport is indulged in, happened to sit in the chair or open the door while the juice was on, that he, too, would help get another victim or two. In any event, the employes are waiting for the op- portunity to try it on the boss. Congregational Incorporation.
