M, Lady Asistant Telephone a few re- | ' | cises commencing The Westerly town ecuncll met in special session to act upon the appli- cations for liquor licenses from Irank L Furness fo] lfi Rhode lllld hotel and Natale lvenuto i Ferraro ‘for the identical st 101 Canal street. The appl lon of Mr. Furness was granted, but the other two applications were dsmicd. The owner of the premises 101 Canal street supposed he was working a sure game to secure a high price tenant, so he agreed to rent the place te eithe: one of the applicants, ot course the one who secured the li- cense. It made no difference which to him, as his only interest was the high rental. This indefiniteness re- sulted in both applicants being turncd down, and the indications are that no saloon will be located at 101 Canal street. The application of Luigi Brugns to transfer his wholesale license from 50 to 49 1-2 Pierce street was granted, as was also the application of Pietro Cos-. entino to transfer his retail license from 135 to 137 Canal street. The application of Albert Baker, to be appointed an auctioneer was grant- ed. A petition was received from resi- dents of Central park asking that the ice pond located therein be declared a public nuisance. The petitioners were represented by Attorney John J. !runn. This pond is owned by A. Matersse and the product of the pond is sold at retail in Westerly and Pawcatuck. The petition was referred to a committee composed of Councilmen Thomas E. Robinson and Howard E. Thorp. Ida West, colored," of Bradford, the wife of Edward West, and who cares for his six children, a legacy from tie first Mrs. West, was arrested Friday afternoon by Special Officer John Thompson and given an automohile ride to the Westerly police station. Mrs. West is subjected to periods cf violent temper and while .in one of those spells she assaulted her husband with a claw hammer, and in defending himself one of his fingers was sevare- ly injured. As a result, Mrs. West was taken into custody. Early Saturday morning Mr.-West called on his wife at the police station and expressed regret over the situa- tion. While there Mrs. West was taken ill, or feigned iliness. A physi- cian was summoned and Mr. West paid the fee. He stated to Chief Erown that Mrs. West had beea gocd tc his children and for the good she had done he would overlook the in- Jjury, she did him, and expressed hope that she would be released, feeling satisfled that she was all right now and would continue to be good. Mrs. West was arraigned before Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third district court on the charge of assault- ing her husband and pleaded nolo. She was admonished by the court and she promised to behave in the future. Sen- tence was suspended and she was placed on probation upon the payment of costs by her husband.

The motor apparatus of :he Peleg S. Barber Hose company made a quick run to the box, but there was no blaze in sight.

The roof of the piazza was raised and carried over the roof of the club house and was held from falling on the track by the electric light wires. But it struck the high tension wires with such force that two poles were toppled over and the ser- vice in Stonlngt‘ and Mystic was on the blink for about two hours. After the electric light linemen company L. had repaired this damage and retired to rest, they were callcd out again at 2 o'clock Saturday morning and for more trouble near the Dolbaum. prop- ert;x Here the wind had levelled two smore poles and shut the service off for consumers.

Upon his return from Cincinnats, where he announced his opposition 0 Republican Leader Mann for spealer of the next house and his sup,ort of Reépresentative Lenroot of Wisconsm for the place, Representative, Gardner of Massachusetts said he would imme- diately seek to have a coanference called for the purpose of “formulating pelicies” for the future. He made it clear that his effort to obtain a con- ference should be entirely disassoviat- is opposition to M: ays is based solel; conviction that Mr. Mann stands for “Prussia_and Prusslanism” in interna- tional affairs. - Until Mann indorsed President Wilson’s recent pea~2 mcs- sage, Gardner said, he favored him. To Formulate Policies. “I shall endeavor to have a confer- ence called to formulate policies and discuss them rather than versorali- ties,” said the Massachusetts repre- sentative. “I am tired to deata of waiting for a lot of bigwigs in the re- publicant party to prepare a platform for us that means nothing. Tha re- publican party more nearly represents the people than any other and it is high time that we were planning for urging the adoption of many progres- sive ideas which already have been m- corporated into laws in other coun- tries.” Representative Lenroot evinced keen interest in the conference proposal and said he favored a similar plan. To Discuss Future Action. “There is a very general sentiment on the republican side,” he said, “for a conference to discuss the future zc- tion of the party representa-ives in the house. I think that we shou'l not be content with merely opposing emi- ocratic proposals in the pres>n: con- gress. If we do not favor thera, we should state our reasons and offer suf - stitutes which we believe to be better. T should like to see the republicans adopt such ‘a plan for the remainder of the short term of congress and out- line a general program of legislation for the next sessicn. conference met a' cordial respones- among many of the rank and file re- publicans who are anxious to prevent the present ranking minority members o? several committees who are cla: irreconciliabie standpatters from getting chairmanships urless they make declarations of progressive- principles.
