Westerly to date has surely accom- plished more than its proportion in furnishing the sinews of war in man and money power, and its pure pa- triotism 1is beyond question. Already neariy two hundred of its young men are enrolled in the army and navy, and there was oversubscripticn to the Liberty Bond sale, and the allot- ment for the Y. M. C. A. army hut work was exceeded. In the drive for a fund of $100,000,000 for the Red Cross, the allotment for Westerly was placed at $10,000; that sum was raised in the first three days of the time specified for raising the required fund, and the local committee fixed the sum at $20,000. It was agreed Saturday to carry on the work so as to include Monday night, and at noon of Monday the lo- cal fund had reached the $22,500 mark and the goal was fixed at $25,000. Monday night the Westerly band gave a patriotic concert in Wilcox park and contribution boxes were passed among the crowd assembled. These receipts were not completely tabu- lated, but it is believed that the con- cert receipts, and the amounts col- lected by the working teams during Monday afternoon and night, will bring the total to a considerable ex- cess of $25,000. In proportion to pop- ulation, there is no town in Rhode Island that exhibited such liberal pa- triotism, and perhaps but very few in the whole United States. That Peter Smith was struck by a trolley car and hi mangled body found on the tracks immediately thereafter, at a point on the Watch Hill_road, perhaps, half a_mile from the Shore rohd leading to Watch Hill, there is no doubt. There is equal certainty that Mr. Smith’s body was prone on the track when struck by the trolley car, but there is some doubt as to the circumstance of the body, dead or alive, being on the track. As the car rounded the curve. and as the rays from the car head- light got back in direct line on the track. Motorman ‘Larkin observed something on the track just ahead, and before the car could be stopped had _decapitated and mangled the bods | that by of Peter Smith It was evident Mr. Smith just as he was struck the car was on the rail farthest awa) from the roadbed. and just why he/ was there at that time may never be satisfactorily explained. It is known that he left Westeriy on an earlier car Saturday night with the intention of Zoing to Pleasant View. He got off the car at the Shore road, and when | last seen alive by anyone on the car, ne started walking in the direction of Watch Hill, instead of to the S i »ad and Pleasant View. He | run over by the trolley c: half a | mile bevond the Shore road in the di- rection of Watch Hill A theory - is advanced that Mr mith may have been struck and kill- ed by an automobile and his body placed on the farthest side of the lley track from the roadbed. Or that he may have stumbled azainst the outer rail, pitched forward and | been thrown against the inner rail | and rendered unconsclous. Police | Chief Rrown spent all of Sundav in investizating the case and is of the beiief that Mr. Smith headed towards | Watch Hill and was of th= opinior that he was walking towards Pleas View, that he wandered ‘to the trolley around track on the side of the road. | the curve, fell and was rendered un- | conscious, or was perhaps fatally in- | jured, if not dead, when the car struck him. Dr. Scanlon, the medical exam- iner, holds a like opinion. However there are several theories in connec- tion with the case that are not clear- Iy expiained. which gave justification for an investigation by Coroner v- | erett A. Kingsley. The inquest was commenced Monday afternoon in the Third district court room. The wit- nesses summoned for Monday were Conductors Owen Sherry and Nathan Culver. Motorman Charles I.. Larkin and these passengers, Arthur W. Starling. Lafavette Ahearn. Wayland Saunders and Oliver E. Gavitt. The inquest was adjourned afte: two hours’ session to Tuesdav aftarnoon Another matter which the coroner will consider is the fact that Mr. Smith possessed a zold watch, and always carried some monev. No trace of the watch ean be found. and not a cent was found on his person. This would | naturally suggest the theory of foul play, although as far as known there is no motive for such While or his way home from the Quarry- Hill school, Stanton Saund- ors. son of James A. Saunders, of Franklin street. was struck by an au- tomobile, received a severe gash in the right side of the head and minor cuts and bruises. but escaped serious injury. The automobile that struck the boy is owned and was operated by John H. Gulick, of South Saco, Me.. on his wav to his summer home, at Pleasantvifle, N. Y. Mr. Gulick was ving slow and tooting the horn he neared the group of school chil- dren. The Saunders boy made a sud- den dart directly in front of the au- tomobile. and the accident was un- avoidable Mr. Gulick placed the hoy in the automobile. with the rest of the party, and proceeded to the near- est doctor's office, which was that of Dr. J. Devere Barber. Here the in- juries were treated after which the boy was taken to his home. A brother of the Saunders boy was the group. saw the accident. saw his brother placed in the automobile and taken away. He ran home and told his father: “Stanton has been hit bv an automobile and taken away by the automobile men.” Witheut de- lay. Mr. Saunders started out to lo- cate his injured and missing son. He drove to Dixon square, and, with the aid of Officer Chase and a telephone, the box was located in the office of Dr. Barber. Judge Oliver H.

This was after Gallucio had left their employ. but he claims he left a record of the transaction at the garage. A bill for this tire was pre- sented to Gallucio, together with some other charges. As it was not pald he was arrested on the charge of theft. Subsequently the hov's father offered to payv the bill. and Mr. Barber senior, suggested to the police S FOR $25,000 0,000—Coroner E. A.

Judge Willlams in court, Monday, denounced that mode of settling crin- inal cases and declared it was an in- justice to the chief of police, to the state, to the society, and that it would have no standing in court. The judge heard the father, mother and sister of the boy, as to his general conduct, questioned the boy at length, pointed out to him the error of his way. The boy promised to reform and the judge gave him his chance by placing him on probation.

Are Making Every Effort to Enlist Men in This State, The navy is at present in need of radio (wireless) operators, and are making every effort to enlist as many amateur operators in t state as pos- alble. Following are the zeneral qual- ifications and scope of training Schools are established at the navs yard at New York for the purpose of furnishing electricians (radio and gen- eral) for the fleet from the enlisted personnel of the navy. After the re- quired sea service has been performed such eectricians are transferred to shoré duty at navay radio stations and other places. The electrical branch of the school is divided into two parts One branch for general electricians and the other for radio (wireless). Applicants capa- ble of passing the examination are en- listed as landsmen for electrician (either general or radio) and are de- talled for a course at the electrical school. The pay of iandsman for elec- triclan is $17.60 per month while un- der instruction and in addition he is turnished with a complete outfit of uniform, board. lodging, text books, and materials with which to work. Other men are sometimes detailed from ships at sea for a course of instruction at the school. The length of the course is about eight months. Upon comple- tion of the course at the school the men who are qualified are given the rating of electrician third class (radio | or general) and are detailed to duty on board vessels of the fleat. In both courses the following subjects are covered: Machine shop work, elec- tricity, maanetism. alternating cur- rents, dynamo, motors and batteries, It also embraces the principles and management of radio stations and in- stallations. The general course covers the application of electricity to ship board appliances. Competent operators of the Morse ~ode or men with a sufficient founda- tion in radio telegraphy may be en- listed landsman for electrician (ra- dio). The appicant must be able to take dictation at the speed of 25 words per minute and pass a creditable ex- amination in spelling and penmanship. The problems in arithmetic will in- clude multiplication, division, simple- proportion, percentage and square rom. Testimonials as to the good character and skill of the applicant as an oper- ator must be presented from a former employe or from the principal of a &chool where the appiicant has been a student ‘of radio or telegraphy. The applicant must- be able to receive about 20 words a minute. In addition.to the above men hol®ng commercial radio licenses and who pass an additional examination at the electrical.school, navy vard, New York, may be enlisted as electrician’ third class (radio). In both cases whether enlisted as landsman for electrician or electrictan third class (radio) the reg- ular._course at the school foliows. The oppértunity for advancement in the navad lardio service is at present ex- ceptionaily good and is worthy of con- sideration by every commercial tele- graph and radio operator. The pay of electricians both general and radio is_as follows: Blectricians third class, $33 per month: electricians second class, $44 per month; eiectri- cians first class, $55 per month; chief electricians (acting appointment), $66 per month, and chief electricians (per- manent appointment), $77 per month This pay is increased with each en- listment. These amounts do not in- clude the new inerease of $6 to $15 per month for all ratings. Members of the electrical class are quartered on the receiving ship at New York. The’ school buildings are. situ- ated in the navy yard. Outside of the regular school hours a course of in- struction is contemplated whereby they wili be instructed in the regular dutie: of a man-o’-war's-man: this is neces- sary, as every man aboard ship, irre- spective of rating, is a_member of a of absence is granted compie tion of course The course at the electrical schon comprises 22 weeks of advance wn ind three weeks of exam - schedule of marking is baseq on 4 as perfect and a final average of 4.5 is necessary in order to obta of clectrician upon grad man is assigned a mar oral’ recitations_and wesk examinati The fina is in writing.
