DAN D. HOMES Judge. v 5 ) ralty of $5.00 upon res | ed Cross Districts Cent. of Population En- | January session of the Rhade Island legisiature, a bill providing for the| ratificaifon of the proposed federal prohibition amendment, at the in- stance of the Rhode Island Anti-Sa- | loon League, and one of its most ear- | I rest and strongest supporters will be Representative Samuel H. Davis of Westerly. Mr. Davis, now a lawyer, is an ordained minister of the Seventh Day Baptist denomination, and was the former head of the Massachuseits Anti- League. This action was deciddd at a meeting of the state league in Providence, Monday. There was some discussion favoring delay of the campaign for ratification un- tii the 1319 session of the legislature, but it was finally decided to take the earliest possible action. Definite plans for the campaign are being formulated. The new bill will be substituted for the bill for state prohibition introduced at the 1917 ses- sion. It is expected that the speak- ing campaign will be started by Richard Pearson Hobson, of Merrimac fame, one of the strongest prohibition workers in the country. ’ The latest transfer deeds recorded in the office of the Westerly town clerk, are as follows: Division No. 1 Ancient Order Hibernians to Congre- ation Shevah Zedec, the lot and uiiding thereon, originally the Epis- pal church and later known as Hi- bernian hall, located in Union street industrial Trust company to Marie Datolo, et al, lot north side «Pierce street; Joseph H. Doney to Harold Doney, undivided one-haif interest in house and lot in Hobart street; Har- riet W. De Rose to Martha M.
