Private Jomn T. Gent, of ‘the Unit- ed States recruiting service, . with, home station at Providence; has been detailed for duty in Westerly and has located at the post office, for the con- venlence of those who desire to join the army. Special request is made for recruits for the infantry and caval- ry arms of the service. Private Gent is a former resident of Westerly and has a thorough acquaint- ance with most of the residents, and for that reason was selected for this duty at this special time. He has served two enlistments in the Fifth Infantry, U. and has been in foreign service. 1s excellent record .made him eligible to the recruiting service and he is under his third en- listment at the present time. He said that his first two days in Westerly brought no enlistments, but that there are several prospects that he con- siders as favorable. He said that if actual warfare came that recruiting would become lively for he knew his old home town was fully as patriotic as any other, and that Westerly would furnish the full proportion of defend- ers of the flag, just as the old town did in the Civil and - the Spanish- American wars. George H. French, one of the oldest conductors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, ' who was in charge of the New London lo- cal train, which was crashed into by the Giit Edge train at Bradford on the night of April 17, has, resulting in the death of two women and three men_ has been reduced. Hereafter he not haye charge of any train, but will assist the conductor in the collection of tickets, whenever there is increase In travel. No reason is given official- ly for the reduction in rank, but it is understcod to be a penalty for {on- ductor French’s alleged failure to see that his train was properly protected and is held by the company responsi- ble for the ‘apparent neglect of duty of Flagman John 'W. Coombs. Conduc- tor French has been off ever since the disaster. Neither Coroner Kingsley, the in- terstate commerce commission or the Rhede Island Public Utilities Com- mission implicated Conductor French In the responsibility, but the coroner fixed the blame on Engineer Charles W. Mansfleld, and the two gommis- slons placed the blame upon”the en- gineer of the Gilt Edge and the flag- man of the New London local. The request of the Rhode Island Coast Art II-7 corps to be ordered out as infantry for Mexican duty was presented to the war department on Monday, by Representative O’Shaun- nessy, and again turned down.| It had been requested by the officers | Hi of the corps to be made known tp’the department the desire of the of the state troops for active service.
