Brown has finally received deflnne information from the police department of New York city relative to the theft of an automobile in that city by Sailors Love and Johnson, who were arrested here last Wednesday. night, and the stolen automobile placed in a local garage. Chief Brown received a_telegram tnat a member of the New York detective force and the owner of the automobile would arrive in Westérly on Monday, hut they had not arrived when this report closed. iove and Johnson are held here in §1000 bonds each for the theft of an extra tire from the automobile of Wil- ifam Brown of Mystic, and Johnson has the additional charge against him of operating an automgbile with- out an operator’s license. Shouid the New York officer want the sailors to prosecute them for the theft of the antomobile, they will be turned over to him and the cases against them have been discontinued. Soon after the arrest of .Love and Johnson, who are stationed at the Erooklyn navy vard, the naval author- fities at New London were notified, and information came back that the naval authorities “did not want the sailors, until formally released by the civil au- thorities and the punishment of their crime. But *for the notification .from the New York police. Love ana. Johnson would have been committed to thg F Kingston jail to await trial before the superior court for Washington coun- tv. This will be their fate unless th are turned over to the representative of the New York police department. Johr. McRoberts was adjudged gui ty of being a common drunkard by the Third district court ' und sen tenced to six monthsh in the state workhouse.

The-board has been erected, given the once over with paint and brush, and that is about all The Liberty Medal committee of the American Social Science association and the Council of the National Insti- tute of Social Sciences, has presented a patriotic service medal to Mrs. Ll- sie French Vanderbilt, of Newport. She resented a stand of state and na- nal colors to the Rhodé lsland State Guard, Saturday, at the mijlitary cere- mony in which the Fourth company, Westerly, participated. Tie patriotic service medal was presented in rec- ogmition of Mrs. Vanderbilt's activities in war work. Chief Engineer Paterson, of the Rhode Island State Board of Public Roads, gives out the news that the T'cst road from Matumuck to Wake- field will be completed by November 15. All season -a detour of five miles has been necessary. The road from Narragansett Pier to Saunderstown, a feceral aid job, has not been started, but may be begun in the near future, depending upon governmert rulings. The state board has been ready. for some time Lo start this work, but now there seems to be little hope. This will mean a delay of two years. In roadwork of the kind required the foundation is allowed to settle for a year after it is laid before being permanently surfaced, ani if further delayed, it will be 1920 before the surface can be laid and the road open- ed to traffic. Narragansett Electric shares and seven per cent. notes faintly, yet sole- ly. feature the Providence stock mar- ket at this time and are moving grad- vally upward. The stock sold from $62 to $63.50 last week and the notes crossed $120. The inquiry for the stock ranged from ten to 100-share lots.

The age timits vary from 19 years and 6 months to 49 years. If accepted their induction into the naval service will be requested by the navy department. A galaxy of democrats are to waste their time and eloquence in republi- can Westerly Wednesday evening. The list of speakers includes such shining lights as O’Shaunnesy, candidate for the United States senate, Archambault for governor, Casey for congress and Manning for attorney general. As there are only a féw democrats in town, and a preponderence of uncon- vertible republicans, the purpose of the visitation is a difficult problem, as it surely will not result in democratic political profit. Sidney A. Brown, the nominee for sheriff for New London county, is the only candidate of either party to whom reference is made in Pawcatuck, just over the bridge. When asked as to the political situation over there, a Pawcatuekian replied: “Say, would vou believe it, the only candidate I've ‘heard mentioned is Sid Brown for sheriff, and he’ll get a big vote in the village, as he always does. I wouldn't be surprised a bit if every democrat in the place voted for Sidney, and I'm one of ther.” The Fourth company, Westerly, Rhode Island, State guard, in the opinion of military critics who viewed | the marching and drill of the state's soldiers in Providence, is entitled to the highest honors for general pro- ficiency, and i¢ easily the superior of all other companies in the military cutfit. This is the result of the pains- taking efforts of the officers and the hearty co-operation of every man in the ranks. Theose Elwin Tillinghast of Wester- ly is one of three flight lieutenants who escaped from German prison and reached Holland. .
