o, 1 Judgment for $25 for Plaintiff and False Face—Motion Heard for New Trial in Auto Accident Case—Death of The superior_court for Washington unty, Judge Barrows, in session at ‘esterly, gave atteption at the open- g of court Monday wmorning, to the lander case of Mrs. Angela Guarino against Mrs. Vincenzo Coppuccio, in which it claimed the slanderous words uttered are “puteno, putenazze, face di marcheratte.” The defendant de- nied uttering the first two words, claiming she did not know the words or .their significance, but acknowl- edged that she called Mrs. Guarino » face di marcherattee, or masque- rade face. There were several wit- nesses on both sides, and most of the testimony taken through an interpre- ter. Judge Herbert 'W. Rathbun and John J. Dunn appeared for plaintiff and A. T. L. Ledwidge and Samuel H. Davis for defendant. Just subsequent to the alleged sla der Mrs. Guarino and Mrs. Cappucci engaged in a fight near their home in Pierce street, which was on the morn- ing of Oct. 30, 1914. Mrs. Cappuccio brought suit in damages in that case and was awarded judgment for $200. This slander case is an outcome of the assault case, After all the witnesses had been heard, these words became familiar to the court: “Putana, putanazze, schiviusi, and face di mercheratte. Mildly interpreted it all means a bad woman, foul, and with a false face. Judge Barrows gave judsment for $25 in_favor of plaintiff. Immediately after this trial still an- other chapter in the feud was com- menced, in which Mrs. Vincenza Cap- puccio was the complainant, and Jo- seph Guarino, husband of the plaintiff in the previous case was the defend- ant. This is another assault case, counterpart of the first, in which Mr: Cappuccio was awarded a judgment of $200. In this case Mr. Guarino i accused of striking .Mrs. Cappuccio with an umbrella across the shoul- ders, at the same time Mrs. Guarino was all d to be assaulting Mrs. Cap- puccio. In fact this case is a part of that same assault.

Wretd) (AT ok TG Al W. C. T. U. PARLOR MEETING. Mrs. Willis Rogers of Asylum Street Was Hostess Monday Afternoon. At the home of Mrs. Willls Rogers, 80 Asylum street, Monday afternoon, the W. C. T. U. held an interesting parlor meeting with Mrs. S. Howard Mead in charge. There were 21 in at- tendance. As Monday was anniversary day for the W. C. T. U, Mrs. Henry Johnson read a short sketch on the life of Neal Dow, the founder and father of pro- hibition. As a speaker and worker in the temperance cause, Mr. Dow was well knowrd in England as well as in the United States. He spent three years in Great Britain, where he work- ed earnestly and without compensa- tion. In June, 1825, Mr. Dow began what Portland people then called the grand tour. It consisted of a trip through the New Englapd states to Niagara, returning by the St. Law- Tence river to Montreal, across Lake Champlain, thence to New York, Provi- dence, Boston and Portland, in behalf of his cause. He served in the Civil war and raised the famous Thirteenth regiment, which he commanded. He Wwas commissioned brigadier general at Fort St. Philip, at Pensacola, Fla., and at the defense of New Orleans. In 1894, when General Dow _had reached the age of 90, the W. C. T. U. conceived the idea of honoring him by holding great meetings all over the world. The order of the afternoon’s pro- gramme was as follows: Remarks, Mrs. Howard Mead; all joined in singing America, followed by prayer given by rs. George H. Strouse. Miss Nellie Howie rendered a piano solo and Mrs. Henry Johnson read a sketch of Neal Dow’s life. Miss Howle favored the assembly With a vocal solo and Mrs. Howard Mead an article entitled The Quakers on the Warpath. The liquor dealers have aroused a fighting spirit among the Quakers. These quiet, Peaceful friends object to the liberties taken with their names by brewers and distillers, and they are back of a bill now before congress prohibiting the use of that name in advertising. Mrs. Emma Tabor read the procla- mation for the national constitutional prohibition. Mrs. Mead spoke of the prohibition states—19 in all. She also, read a poem that brought in the nameés of the states that have adopted prohibition, and read an article telling how prohi- bition Kansas prospers. The death rate has decreased 9.8 to a thousand and is the lowest in the nation. The state is the only one in the union that is free from debt, having burned up a $150,000 mortgage. Mrs. Strouse read a poem entitled Why We Wear the White Ribbon. Mrs. Rider read The Adapted Voter's Creed, and Mrs. Thomas Perkins read an article on Living Up to Prohibition. The Day of Tragedy by Mrs. Joyce was read by Mrs. Joseph F. Cobb. Mrs. Mead spoke of how prohibition is gaining, although slowly, in New d, and of how New England is gradually falling into line. She urged the W. C. T. U. women not to be discouraged. Mrs. Thomas Perkins read two or three letters that touched upon the federal law. As this was prohibition day, the state officers requested that all unions in the state send requests to the con- gressmen and senator in their terri- tory to vote in favor of the federal constitutional bill. The local women voted to have the secretary forward s petition to Congressman Freeman and Senator Brandegee. Mrs. Mead closed the meeting by thanking those present for attending, and the hostess for her hospitality. The hostess served sandwiches, cake and tea. Otis Library Trustees Held Meeting. The trustees of the Otis library held a regular meeting ‘at the home of Gen- eral William A. Aiken on Washington street Monday evening. The trustees voted the usual quarterly appropria- tion for the library and transacted other routine business. Ge-eral presided at the meetins. LABOR BUREAU AGENT'S JOB WORTH $1.500 But There's No Salary Attached—He Gets $5 a Day. In conversation at the capitol Mon~ day Labor Commissioner W. S. Hyde made some interestfng statements in connection with the position of spe- cial agent of the labor bureau and the candidacy of O. F. Curtis, the present agent, for the republican nomination for mayor of New Britain. ‘When asked if he had tried to induce Mr. Curtis to enter the race for the nomi- nation. Commissioner Hyde said he told Mr. Curtis that from what he had heard he did not think he would get the nomination. “Before Mr. Curtis announced his candidacy he asked me if it would make any difference in his relations with the bureau. I told him that so long as he attended to his work it would not,” said Commissioner Hyde. If Mr. Curtis is elected mayor will he retire from his position with the labor bureau?” “There Is not much difference in the compensation of the two positions. He gets from $1,400 to $1,500 as agent. As a matter of fact there is no salary a tached to the position of agent. He is paid 35 a day for every day he works,” Commissioner Hyde replied. Commissioner Hyde said that here- tofore the agent was paid about $1, 560 and that sum represented $5 a day for every day in the yeay except Sunday. It included all the legal hol- idays. When he (Mr. Hyde) assumed the duties of the commissionership he looked into the rate of compensation and when he discovered that the agent had been paid 35 a day for every sec- ular day in the year he asked by what authority the compensation was fixed OF hia: prediosssors: “Hars. 5 pare of is predecessors, Back, had established that basis of compen- sation for the agent. ‘I have and he denles that he ever made such an_ arrangement,” replied Commissioner Hyde.

London, March 20.—An ancient storm battered trawler with sides and a worn out engine is worth maore (olthe Owmes these days than a new epick and span craft with equipment, a dry hold and fast engines. Simi- larly the one eyed skipper, who had a hard time getting a job before the war, is in more demand than one without physical defect. The reason for this is that all ser- viceable trawlers and able-bodied skipers are snaped up by the admiral- ty.
