Senior, ia the Third district court when his con- tinued case on the charge of being a common drunl was reached. The doctor started in to flay the police and press for alleged persecution, but ‘was stopped by Judge Williams before he had progressed very far. The judge asked if.there was any objection on tht‘z part of the state to the plea of nolo, Thomas E. Brown, chief of police, said he did not object to the plea, but he considered it his gu#y to inform the court, in regard to the recent ac- tions of the doctor, and without any reference to the long past. Since the first day of November the doctor has been intoxicated a great many times, including several when he was down and out, absolutely helpless. Like con- ditions prevailed during December. He was drunk from the l1st to the 5th of January, and was arraigned on the 6th on the charge of being a common drunkard, the case being continued for two weeks. In that interim, said the chief, the doctor has been drunk near- ly every day and down and out at Teast once. “That’s not true,” remarked the doc- tor, Judge Willlams, speaking to the ac- cused, said@ when arraigned as a com- mon drunkard, January 6, the plea of not guilty was entered and the case continued to the 1ith inst. On the Sth of January the doctor called on the court and stated that he had been offered a position in Boston and: would g0 there if the court alldwed. The doctor was told by the gcourt that there was no basis for his apparent belief that the officers delighted in perse- cuting him, but on the contrary the officers had treated him leniently and deferred arrest until he made himself obnoxious to the public. The ecourt told the doctor that the state of Rhode Island did not want his money or his body, but that he must reform or take the penalty. In order to give the doc- tor an opportunity to carry out his alleged plans, Judge Williams said he would consider the plea of nolo and, upon payment of costs, would sus- pend .sentence and continue the case for thirty days. The court sought to impress the doctor that if he became intoxicated again he would be arrested and sentenced upon the pending charge, a common drunkard, for which he might be sentenced for a term of three years., ._President Ethan Wilcox, at the meet- ing of the terly Historical society, read a very interesting paper on Li- brary Development in Westerly.

After Wednesday’'s adjourn- ment, when Speaker Hammill forgot the name of the “gentleman from westerly,” he told Mr. Langworthy to be in hig place when the time for adjournment arrived Thursday. _Mr. Langworthy was on _his job, right on the dot, and when the speak- er announced that his desk was clear- ed of business, Mr. Langworthy arose and addressed the chair. Speaker Hammil ‘took a long look at Iant.lworthy,twmd = announced, gentleman ni Narragansgt Kane.“ The Ilatter moved t‘for a fournment, but Mr. Langworthy did not second the motion and gracefully sat down.

Private from American Steamer at Jamaica. ‘Washington, Jan. l4—Removal of Albert Clark, a private in the United States army, from the American steamer Santa Maria at Jamaica is not expected to result in a protest from the state department. Officials said today that as the removal took place in British territorial waters and Clark was released after a brief ex- amination, the British authorities ap- parently had acted within their rights. The principle that any nation may detain for examination any suspected alien in its territory or territorial wa- ters has long been established in in- ternational law. It is pointed out by officials that such removals have an entirely different status from those oc- curring on the h seas, and that the. case of Clark does not parallel that of the persons removed recently from American ships by the French cruiser Descartes, about which the United States protested to France. Suspected persons frequently have been taken off American ships since the war began by British authorities t:t Hong Kong and in Canadlan wa- ers, FALLING OFF IN PASSENGERS FROM FOREIGN PORTS Arrivals at New York 510,467 Less in 1915 Than in Previous Year, New York, Jan. 14—The number of passengers arriving at New York on ships from foreign ports during the .fimr 1:!1“ !lw;v’; a decrease of 519,467 om the previous year, according to figures made public here today by the Ellis Island immigration ‘authorities.

EMPEROR NICHOLAS NAILS SEPARATE PEACE RUMORS There Will Be No Peace Without the Consent of the Allies. Petrograd, via London, Jan. 14, 7.43 P. m.—"Rest assured, as I said at the bezinning of the war, I will not make peace before we have forced the last of the enemy out of the limits of the mother country and not otherwise than with the consent of our allies, to whom we are bound, not by paper, but sincere friendsship and ties of blood. Emperor Nicholas in these wordis addressed one of his armies on the Russian front during the week preced- ing the Russian Christmas, once more replied to_the rumors of a separate peace in Russia, which from time to time have run throughout the country and even reached the men in the trenches. The emperor, after visiting the a mies on the southern front, reviewed those of General Evert, commander- in-chief of the forces in the west.

The troops passed in review before the emperor, who was mounted on a big bay horse, the various companies shouting a salute in unison as they passed. All officers wearing the Cross of St. George took places beside the emperor and after the review he con- rsed with each officer separately, ed questions and generally inter- “|ested himself in their personal and official welfare. The emperor then addressed the officers, saying: “I speak to you, most heroic rep- reséntatives of our army, wishing deeply and sincerely to thank you for your mighty valor and heroic efforts in the present campalgn. I beg you to pass to your men my words thank- ing them also for the heavy strain they manfully endured, which all Rus- sia_and I personally valu Emperor Nichclas then gave his as- surance as quoted above that he would not make a separate peace and after- yards again rode in front of his troops. Addressing the troops, General Evert called for cheers for the emperor, say- ing: “For the highest welfare of our national leader, our dearly beloved emperor, hurrah!” Cheering continued long after the emperor had dismounted and departed from the field in his motor car.

INCREASED JUVENILE CRIME IN GERMANY Some Reports Attribute It Directly to the War. Berlin, Jan. 14, via London, 7.30 p. m.—That war has increased juvenile crime in Germany was pointed out by fessor Franz Von Liszt, of Berlin university, one of the most distin- guished criminologists .nd.‘rrofillor! of law in Germany, in an address be- fore the Society for the Reformation of Youthful Criminals. This opinion was substantiated by an inquiry re- cently instituted by the same soclety, it was brought out. Professor Liszt recommends as a T ly, a decree just issued by the military governor of Cassel, forbid- ding boys to visit saloons or moving picture shows, or to loaf about the streets during the evening smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages. The inquiry referred to by the speaker shows that the increase in crime is especially great among boys between the ages” of 12 and 18, the older boys showing a greater measure of self-control. Some of the reports frankly attribute the increase in crime directly to the war. One writer, commenting- on the reports, points out that apart from its influence in firing the spirit of adventure in the half- t to the war and their en by women. —_— GERMANY THREATENS ENGLAND WITH REPRISAL For F ‘wireless to Sl!-‘ gpvernment Great Britain Berlin, Jan. 14 N. CONTRABAND TO GERMANY Four Men and a Woman Indicted by Federal Grand Jury in New York. New York, Jan. 14.—Four men and a woman were indicted today by a federal grand jury on a charge of , | conspiring to violate the customs laws of the United States by shipping con- traband rubber to Germa Those indicted were Edward Weber, a cousin of Albert Weber, an ‘officiai of the Deuisches Bank in Berlin; Paul Schmidt, Weber’s partner in the Rub- bed and Guoyule agency of this cit Max Jaeger, a German maker of au- tomobile accessories; Mrs. Annie Dek- kers, a native of Holland and Richard Wohlberg, a naturalized citizen who operates a rubber and cement factory here. The Guayule agency also is made a defiendant. According to Assistant United States Attorney Harold Content, Mrs. Dekkers was to have been the go-between. Her sex and the fact that she had been in the habit of making frequent trans- Atlantic trips were relied upon to pro- tect her from suspicion. The rubber was to be carried by her as personal baggage and in that way would noi have to appear on the ship’s manifest. Four and a half tons of rubber were obtained by the alleged conspirators, according to Mr. Content before the first attempt at shipment was made. On November 27 Mrs. Dekkers took passage on the Holland*American liner Ryndam, bound for Rotterdam. She had four trunks and eight pack- ing cases filled with rubber but which was marked personal baggage. Act- ing on information given the customs authorities by British agents Mrs. Dekkers' baggage was held up and she was not permitted to sail The matter was referred to United States District Attorney Marshall The defendants will be arraigned for pleading in the federal district court next Monday.
