WESTERLY MAN BREAKS e " who know the delightful (qualities which have made the PURE Turkish Ciga- rette the world’s most the superior court for ‘which convenes today (Mon- merly. It will -;-nunu&'tflr thres or:four weeks. Aabeng the actions that are mumber of tried are a m-lfig:‘ the New York, New Haven and - Laisi Giancereile, assault. ereile, The new actions at law are: Martha George H. st the New York, New Haven and Httord Raiiroad company: S. .M. Sosner against Abram Lebovitz; James Taloott against Bradford A Clarke, Bessie M. Fancher against James C. Nichols, Zacharia T. Champlin, for guardian, George H. Champlin, against Eben Slocum; Edgar W. Sisson against Walter F. Miller; Catherine A Bates against Thomas H. Barber et al. Ellen M. McArdle against Nancy E. ®pencer et al. The following jurors have been summoned from Westerly: Grand—Al- fred Johnson, Charles FH. Nichols, Charles J. Butler, Court B. Bliven and Willlam H. Burdick; petit—James H. Blackler, E. Howard Clarke, Lewis S. McNef, ‘Orlando R. Smith, Reymond Barber, Willlam H. Wills, Adam Ar- chie, Harold Dorney and Frederick G. Walton. . With the unanimous .uEpm( of the members of the Westerly Bar associa- tion, the Westerly delegation in the Rhode Island general assembly is en- Geavoring to have a bill passed that will provide for aiternate court session between West ston and Westerly. At present the H6lding of a superior but at each session the court must first convene at that place. In this connection a correspondent in for all the towns in the county, and years ago when it was first located there was a fight because the Westerly residents desired it also. It|J. is claimed that with the alternats ses- sions, the transferal of the records Kingston to Westerly would be undertaking and would involve an inconvenience not only to the clerk and his assistants but to the jurors, who would have to travel to the ex- treme end of the state. The only issue that is apparent in warranting such a is the fact that at the present time it is nearly impossible to obtain ®ood accommodations for jurors and others who would stay over night should the case warrant.” Barber, overseer of the poor for the town of Westerly, has received notice from the agent of the state board of charities and correction that the rate of board for paupers at the state aimshouse at Cranston will be increased to a minimum of $4 a week. The advance in the cost of living is the reason given for the change. West- erly has its own town farm and cares for its paupers, therefore this change in rate will not affect Westerly. The number of inmates in the state almshouse is 650. Most of these are persons without established residence in any clty or town under the laws of the stats, which provides that estab- lished residence cannot be claimed un- less the pauper or his parents or grandparents have been bona fide tax- payers in the town. If this cannot be done, they become charges of the state. Many of the inmates, however, come from places that do not maintain alms- houses or who are sent to the state institution for special care.
