Eighteen candidates were initiated. _Westerly lodge is in excellent con- dition and now has a membership of nearly 225. At the close of business there was a social session. Owen ‘- Deady and All Westerly is interested in the an- nouncement of Mrs. Douglass Fair- banks, formerly Miss Beth Sully, that she and her husband, the noted screen actor, have mutually accepted separa- tion, and that there will be no divorce. She says that she and her husband are the best of friends, but that both have decided that there must be final sep- aration. There are no grounds for di- Vorce, she says, and for the present ghe will continue to reside in New York with her son Douglass Fairbanks, Jr. Mrs. Fairbanks plans to engage in helping families of soldiers left without their bread-winner for the du- ration of the war, and if there is no organization for the special work she will start one. Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks were mar- ried on July, 1907, at Kenneth Ridge, Watch Hill, the summer home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel J. Sully, the former of Cotton King fame. Af the time of their marriage, Mr. Fair- banks had made a swift and spectac- ular rise in his profession as an ac- tor, but Mr. Sully objected to the mar- Tiage of his daughter to an actor, c#d Mr. Fairbanks gave up the stage to marry Miss Sully. He engaged in the soap business for a while after his marriage, but he could not resist a return to his chosen profession, Mrs. Fairbanks in making the an- nouncement of the separation, also said: “I cannot defend any woman with whom my husband’s name has been linked. I will not malisn her. She is associated with my husband in a business way, but that is no con- cern of mine. I have concluded that I will no longer act as a shield for her. Now, I am through. For the sake of our boy and jor myself I' re- alize that the only way to stop this gossip is to plainly state that this time gossip had a foundation. May the whispering and surmising stop, now that it is publicly announced that my husband and I have separated.” iss Mary Pickford in an interview safd: “If Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks have scparated it is no concern of mine or of any other' person but themselves, so far as I can see. We are simply associated in business. Mr. Fairbanks has gone off through the country to do bis bit, and very soon I shall be trav- fit to send me to do my share toward lending a hand. Charlie Chaplin is doing the same thing.” Ernest Glassey was arrested Thurs- day afternoon on the charge of break- ing and entering and larceny from the ticket office of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad sgation al Westerly, one month ago next Sat- {urday night. Entrance was effected, after the ticket office was closed for the night, by .forcing the upper gec- tion of a window racing. the railroad tracks, the lower part of.which is pro- tected with iron bars. 1t is alleged that Glassey took one mileage book of 1000 miles anq seven of 500 miles, also several tickets for ride to New York. No money was taken, as none could be obtained without opening the locked safe. As the books nor tick- ets were not stamped, they. could.not be used without detection. So far as known Glassey secured only $5. He sold a mileage book to a local man for that amount, and, upon examination, the man became suspicious and did not attempt to use the book. On the night the crime was commit- ted the night man at the station, and Glassey, who was in his company, was also intoxicated. Glassey finally lay down on the berch behind the news stand and went to sleep. This was the start of the clue that led to his arrest. Glassey was assistant baggagemaster and janitor at the station about-three years ago and was therefore familiar with the station and the hours that the ticket agent and his assistant were on duty. Subsequently he entered the freight service and was a freight Brakeman for nearly a year. He is married, and his acquaintances never suspected that he would do such an act. After leaving the railroad em- between the station and the post of- fice. and was employed for a short pe- i‘iod on the Westerly-Groton trolley ine. Glassey was arrested at at his for- mer home in Cranston by Chief Cuff and Lieutenant Debow and delivered to Special Agent Martin Kane whp brought him to the Westerly police station. Glassey will be given a hear- ing in the Third District court today. John Foley, termed a “bum weaver” that is a competent textile worker, but who prefers tramp life ‘to steady employment at fair pay, was adjudged guilty of being an idle and 'dissolute person with no visible means of sup- port, when brought before Judge Wilt liams in the Third District court. He was sentenced to one year in the state workhouse. Foley has been in West- erly about a ‘week. panhindling. - Hé was taken into custody a -few daysago and released on his promise ‘that.he would get out of town forthwith.
