ROAD INTERESTS THREATENED BY LEGISLATURE May Force Company to Abandon Line Entirely, If Objectionable Route is Insisted On. The Danielson Business Men’s asso- ciation is showing active interest in a matter pending in the Rhode Island legislature relative to the future lay- out of the Providence and Danielson Electric road a line of the Rhode Is- land company. If one layout that has been proposed is forced upon the rail- road by legislative action, the com- pany’s threat to abandon the road en- tirely may be carried out and will cut off one of Danielson’s valuable trans- portation lines. The layout favored by the company is the one that receives the support of the local association. 1f adopted, it would shorten the distance between aDnielson and Providence and make possible a reduction of 30 minutes, at least, in the runming time. The present route of the line must be abandoned to make way for the monster reservoir system planned to supply water for the city of Provi- dence. This reservoir when complet- ed will put several villages now on the line of the trolley, in Rhode Is- land, entirely under water. ‘These villages are about 15 miles east of Danielson. The P. and D. has become a valuable asset to Danielson manufacturers and business men as a freight route. This is also true as regards Dayville and Putnam business men. The line offers quick service between aDnielson and Providence, and its service is no less valuable to many Providence business men than it is to those of Danielson. PARSONAGE TO BE SOLD Baptist Church to Dispose of Broad Street Building and Erect House on Church Lot. At the annual meeting of the Bap- tist church a vote to sell the parsonage at the corner of Broad and Reynolds street was passed. It was explained by a church officer that this aetion seems to promise advantages to the church, inasmuch as the upkeep of the parsonage, which is a_ comparatively large structure, is quite heavy, and the money derived from the sale of the property could be used for the con- struction of a new parsonage on a lot of the society adjoining the church. The annual reports show the past year a very successful ome in all branches of the churh's activities. About $3,000 was raised. The end of the year was reached with all its bills paid and small balance in the treasu- ries of the organizations of the church. met their apportionments in full. Clifford H.

TOOK HEBREW OATH IN SUPERIOR COURT CASE Aaron Gordon, of Norwich, Sues Da- vid Hatch of Springfield—Former Local Partners—Settlement Reach- ed. For the first time in the history of the Windham Countp Superior court the Savooah oath according to the orthodox Jewish faith was adminis- tered to a witness Wednesday morn- ing. The case being tried was a civil action in which Aaron Gordon or Norwich was plaintiff and David Hatch of Springfield was defendant. When Mr.. Gordon took the witness stand defendant's counsel, Lawver Charles L. Torrey of Putnam, asked him if an oath administered accord- ng to orthodox Hebrew cussom would be more binding upon him than an oath administered by the clerk of the court. Receiving ~ an affirmative Lawyer Torrey requested a Rabbi Rabbi Julius Lesmovitch of Putnam then administered the oath, the pray- er shawl and praver straps being used oath to be administered by and the request was granted. and the oath was taken on the Penta- teuch, both participants keeping their hats on. The parties to the action were form- erly engaged in the junk business in Putnam as a_corporation under the name of the Putnam Iron and Metal Company. November 17, 1913, they ° borrowed $500 at the Putnam National banlk en dorsing the note as individuals. De- cember ?nd the same vear they bor- rowed $200 more in the same way. Plaintiff alleged that he.had paid the notes and only recelved $100 back. He claimed contribution. Defendant set up th sold the stock of ths cc rezlized enough to more than pay for the notes. Before the evidenrce was all in coun- sel entered into consu on and a settlement was reached. It was said that the defendant received a sum of money in addition to having the notes cancelled and attachments on his property released. Divorce Granted Wife. In the superior court Wednesday morning Eva Warren was granted a divorce from William Warrea on the ground of intolerable cruelty. The parties both reside in Putnam. When the case came up last week the court on sugzestion of counsel re- ferred the matter to Lawyer Ernest C. Morse of Putnam as a commission- er to hear the evidence. The case was heard in the commissioner’s office last Saturdzy. Lawyer Charles E, Searls for the pe- titioner asked that the report be ac- cepted and the decree granted and judgment was so ordered by the court. Mr. Eearls also recommended that the report of the commissioner be or- dered sealed.
