MATTERS ' INTERESTING WESTERLY Slight Means of Identifying Body Found Near Woody Hill— Republican State Leaders to Curtail Office-holding— Sons of Italy Election—Funerals, Eli Stannard, Alfred C. Smith. S d There are no developments of con- sequence in connection with the finding of the remains of a long dead man in the woods near the Woody Hill section of the town of Westerly, Sunday after- noon, and the probability is that there will ‘never be positive identification. By direction of Dr. M. H, Scanlon, medical examiner, the remains will not be buried for several days. So far as known, no man has been reported as having mysterlously disappeared, In many years, not since Pinardi, the sStone-cutter disappeared from the Crumb quarry a dozen or more years ago. It is believed by some, that the skeleton found in Cedar swamp sever- al years ago, was that of Pinardi. In the Woody Hill case, remnants of the clothing and the hat were found, there was sufficient hair on the skull to denote its color, and the teeth are well preserved. The most careful in- quiry canot brinf to light any miss- ing men that can possibly be connects ed with the case. One who is very much_interested in the investigation said Monday: “You remember that some five or six vears ago, that two armed men held up_amd robbed David Mc. Newell: of $2,500, more or less, while he was driv. ing to the Newell plant to pay his em- ployes their two weeks' wages. Mr. Newell and the town of Westerly of- fered liberal rewards for the arrest of the highwaymen, but they were never apprehended. This is my dope: There were two men in the hold up. They went into the dense woods to divide the spdils. Had a quarrel and one of them was killed, and the remains found are those of the highwayman and murdereq man! Westerly lodge of Elks, whose rooms in the Champlin block are elegantly furnished have beén notified to as the rooms they now occupy third story of the building are re- quired by the service extension of the Westerly Automatic Telephone com- pany, which already occupies the sec- ond story. The building is owned by Dr. John Champlin, president of the telephone compan: As vet the Elks have secured no quarters. It was re- ported Monday, that the owners of the building in High street, partially oc- cupied by the Willard store, contem- plate adding anotker story to that building, provided satisfactory ar- rangements for its occupancy can be made with the Westerly lodge of Elks. The republican leaders of the state are planning a reform that will pre- vent any state official holding two or more jobs, by which his name appears twice ‘or more on the pay roll of the state. A list of senators and repre- isenttives and heads of departments, who hold down other state jobs, has prepared, and it is likely that several members of the general assembly who come under this plan, will retire’ as legislators at the end of their present terms. It is said that some state of- {ficials who hold jobs in city and | town governments will find it conveni ent to retire from the job which pay the least. Well paid clerks and as- sistant heads of state departments who | have two jobs row, will be given a chance to resign one or the other. It is said that this plan will affect nearly two hundred persons in Rhode Island. i Louise Hurlbut Young, wife of | Colonel Jefferson Randolph Kean, medical corps, United States army, died at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., De- cember 9, after an illness of several weeks. She was the eldest daughter of Mason Young of New York, and hls wife, Louise Hurlbut, daughter of Rev. Joseph Hurlbut, a Congregational clergyman of New London. who owned and resided in the Mt. Vernon house at the junction of Huntington and Broad streets. and who was chaplain at Fort Trumbull during the Civil war and known to the soldier boys as “Holy Joe” Mrs. Kean wae horn in New London, September 1. 1877, mar- ried at the age of seventeen, and dur- in the army had endeared herself tn the mnltitude of friends by her zood- ness, her sweet and gentle disposition and ’her attractions of person and mind. She was buried in the famil graveyard of the Jeifersons and Ran- dolphs at Monticello, near Charlottes- ville, Virginia. No formal action was taken by the Westerly Ministerial _association agaist the sacred concert that was to have been given in the Central theatre Sunday night, under the auspices of the Westerly lodge of Elks, the pro- ceeds to be devoted to Christmas charity. Also Rev. Frederick McDon- ald, of the Congregational church, was not the prime mover in opposition to the proposed_concert, which was can- celled when Selectman Boulter declar- ed that the concert could not be held without a violation of law. The se- lectman did not act in the matter, un- til his attention was directed to the law. so it is said, by the pastor of a Westerly church, and it was suppos- ed, with the sanction of the Wester- 1y Ministerlal association. The Elks are tracing_ the origin of the opposi- tion, and after the first day's investi- cation. find that the minister called the attention of another minister to the fact that such a concert was un- Jlawful in Connecticut and asked the minister to request the Stonington se- lectman to look up the law and to act accordingly. This was done. There was no sacred ‘concert for charity.

Flags of Her Merchantmen Are to Be Seen Everywhere on Highways of Seas. Tokio, Dec. 20.—As a result of the war, the Japanese merchant marine has come to play a predominant part in the world's shipping. The activity displayed by Japanese shipping has never been €0 remarkable as at pres- ent, this being especially the case with tramp steamers. No fewer than 130 steamers of this clase are at present engaged on various foreign routes and the flags of Japanese merchantmen are to be seen almost everywhere on the world's sea highways. “The tramp steamers belonging to the Japan Shi ers’ union number about 240, exclusive of vessels whose ton- nage does not exceed 500 tons, and most of them are owned by individu- als. Of this number, 41 vessels are chartered by the Nippon Yusen Kal- sha, the Osaka Shosen Kaisha and other eubsidized steamship companies; 20 are engaged in regular ocean voy. ages run by individual shsipping firms; 67 engaged on coast service, and 14 large steamers are hired by foreign firms and merchants.

Tien-Tsin, China, Dec. 20.—Con- tracts have been signed with a Mass- achusetts concern for $900,000 worth of machinery for the establishment of two modern cotton-spinning mills here. The mills are to have 25,000 spindles, and are to be capable of ex- parsion to double that number after | sufficient labor has been trained. The Chinese minister of agriculture and commerce is a shareholder in one of the companies andthe minister of fi- nance is interested in the othér. This is the first time that Ameri- can cotton manufacturing machinery has been s0ld in China in large quan- ities. Heretofore the Chinese manu- facturers have looked to Europe, and frequently have bought second-hand machinery. from Japan. It was through the effort of Julean H. Ar- nold, the American commercial a tache at Peking, that the _American manufagturers were persuaded to finer ones which will make beautiful gifts priced at $1.98, at which price the Silk Blouses begin.

China imports annually about $28.- 000,000 worth of cotton-yarn, chiefly from India and Japan. There are probably about 1,200,000 spindles in China operated in twenty-five mills, but the cotton consuming power of the Chinese would probably justify twen- ty times as many spindles. The de- partment of commerce and agricul- ture has recently invited J. N. Jobson of the Texas Agricultural Experimen- tal station to come to China to show the natives how to grow better cot- ton, and it is expected this expert will be_here in January. Most of ithe cotton now raised in China is from inferior seeds. In some sections of the Yang-tse valley Amer- ican missionaries have imported high- grade seed and enabled the natives to grow a better variety of cotton. While there is a considerable acreage in North China, the conditions are not actly favorable and the piant has a stunted growth. Cotton is used almost _exclusively by the coolie class in North China for clothing. With the approach of cold weather, the coolies who have been naked fo the waist during the sum- mer, gradually pile on heavy cotton garments padded with quilted cotton. Woolen cloth is beyond the coolie’s purse. As the severe winter ap- proached the Chinese of the poorer class become rounder and rounder in appearance. “Many of thé children are so thickly waded with cotton that the lines of .their bodies are entirely ob- scure.
