Burrows of the Rhode lIsland Superior court, has rendered a decision for the plaintiff in the case of Lucy Thorp Bogle, the plaintiff in the case of Lucy Thorp Bogle, administratrix of the estate of James Bogle, against the Westerly Light and Power company. This was an action brcught under the Work- men’s compensation act and the amount claimed and awarded is $1,500. The arguments in the case were made before Judge Burrows on the last day of the recent session of the court in Westerly, although the case was heard several months previ- ously. Mr. Bogle had heen long in the employ of the company and cn July 14, 1914, wiile at work in the local power house he fell from a re- tort and received injuries to kis head. After two weeks had passed he returned to his work in apparent good health. Some weeks later he was taken suddenly sickywent to the Rhode Island hospital and died there, it was claimed of cerebo spinal men- ingitis. Claim was made for benefits under the compensation law, but the defendant company, or rather the in- suring company contended, that death was not due to the injury received at the local plant, but from some natural cause remote therefrom. _Judge Burrows finds that the acci- dent on July 30, 1914, was the cause of Mr. Bogle's death, nnd that the plaintiff is therefore entitled to com- pensation under the Workmen's com- pensation act. The amount c¢f com- pensation was not in dispute. Prospects favor the carl of that part of the ol esterly Woolen company plant which is lo- cated on the Rhode Island sidc of the Pawcatuck river. The entire plant, located on both sides of the river, connected with a bridge, is the pro- perty of the Poquot Shirt company, but the buildings on he Connecticut side are adequate for the business and WHAT CAUSES COLDS? This question is asked every day. A cold is really a fever, not always caused by the weather but often due tc disordered blood or lack of importan: food-elements. In changing seasons fatfoods are essential because they distribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the system better able to withstand the varying elements. ‘This is the important reason why Scott’s Emulsion should always be taken for colds, and it does more— builds strength to- prevent sickness. Scott's Emulsion contains Nature’s rare strength building fats, so skillfully blended that thé blood profits from every drop. It is free from harmful drugs or alcohol.

Negotiations are pending for the lease of this property and if success- ful, the plant will be in operation, early in June, as the lease of one of the mill plants of the company ex- pires on June 1, 1916.

Chief Brown would have found the young fellow and taken his in charge had not Mr. Harding promised to have him at the police station by 11 o'clock, Thursday morning, as the chief had knowledge of his whereabouts and of some of his doings, since he has been in apparent hiding. it is not the intention of the chief to prefer any charge against Kalimus, but to give him over te the custody of Corcner Kingsley ‘for examination and be gov- erned by the coroner’s action. Thursday aftegngon, Mr. Mason, representing the " insurance company in which Mr. Harding holds protective ipsurance, was in_ Westerly, making an investigation. He interviewed Dr. M. H. Scanlon, medical exuminer, Chief of Police Brown and when scen by a newspaperman, said he must have an interview with Mr. and Mrs. Harding, the chauffeur and the maid at the Harding cottage, who had visited Kalimus on at least two oc- casions since the mishap. He also inquired about the condition of the ‘Waller family, declaring that no mat- ter whether Mr. Waller was struck by the Harding car, or not, the com- pany would give the Waller family some financial assistance, as he had been informed the family was in a a destitute condition. Mr. Mason, Dr. Scanlon and Chief Brown, visited the location of the accident Thursday afternoon and measured the distance from the place where Mr. Fuller was struck by the car, marked by blood stains in the road to the point where the car stopped, and found the dis- tance to be 92 feet. Mr. Mason said the company he representad worked opposite to that of the courts, where a person is considered innocent until proven guilty, while the insurance company considers a person guilty until proven innocent. Friday evening, William Kalimus, the chauffeur was brought to the po- lice station by Mr. Harding and de- livered to Chief Brown, who turned him over to Coroner Kingsiey who cxamined him concerning the death of Francis Waller., The inquest con- tinued for three hours and consider- able testimony was taken. Kalimus Thursday | was _held by order of the coroner un- til Friday, whn he will be either re- leased or held on a charge that will be preferred by the coroner. Tocal Laconics.
