The last named surrendered t6 the United States marshal inh Providencs after the other men were arrested.in West- erly. . The local and rajlroad police co- operated in their sufcessful efforts in rounding up the alleged thieves and in the raids that resulted in the re- covery of the stolen merchandise in the homes of the accused men. Be- * sides Captain Ed Roche and Ser- geant Greene of the railroad police, Chief Thomas E. Brown and Sergeant Donald Ferguson of the Westerly po- lice, gave testimony at the hearing before the commissioner. Attorneys John J. Fitzgerald of Pawtucket, and John J.

He de- elared that the use of pure bred sires, instead of the ordinary sctub cattle, will double the valuation of the herd and thegeby the farmers’ valuation to the state. He stated that pure bred cattle will help to pay off farm mort- gages. F. L. Church pointed out that pro- ducers from New York, Vermont and Pennsylvania do not come to Rhode fand from pure-bred sires and if something is not done to foster the interests of pure bred sires, breeders will give “, up and go elsewhere. County ‘Agent Commins said that failure to keep up the standard of a herd will mean that dairying in Rhode Island will be a back number and then agriculture will be a d num- ber. ‘e said the proppsed legislation is not an infringementdon the consti- tional rights of the farmer, but a mat- ter of general public benefit. He de- clared that some of the farmersneeded to be stepped on and stepped on hard, especially those who are running thei herds in a haphazard manner. - Mil production would double in ten years by the use of pure bred sires. ‘There were mapy speakers in favor of the bill and none spoke in oppo- sition. < Mrs. J. Phelps Warren, a New York and Watch Hill society woman, was recently granted a divorce in the Washington county superior court, the decree being secretly entered at King- ston. The case was shielded with the utmost secrecy and was heard in chambers by Judge Chester W. Bam rows. The decr& is interlocutory and Warren is given custoday of one child. Desertion and non-support were the causes. Attorney Harry C. Curtis, for Mrs. Warren, and Attorney Stephen J. Casey, counsel for Mr. Warren, have declined to talk of the case. W. Herbert Caswell,’ clerk of the superior court for Washington county, states that he is not permit- ted to give anv information. Deposi- tions taken of residents of Providence, Pittsburgh and New York were read at the hearing. A bill was submitted in the senate Wednesday and referred to the agri- culture committee to increase the standard of butter fats in milk from 2 1-2 to 3 1-2 per cent. but retaining the present 2 per cent. total solids. counsel The present milk law would be other- wise amended so as to allow for pros- ecution of those who adulterate milk which is above the required standard. ions of the bill a lee- way of 60 days would be allowed own- ers of herds whose cows are not pro- ucing milk up to the required stan- dard -to bring the herd up to that standard. The republican caucus held in the town hall, Wednesday evening, did not create the interest that prevailed in recent political gatherings, therefore the attendance was not above normal. The caucus was for the purpose of electing delegates to the state con- vention to be held in Providence, on April 20, when Rhode Island's repre- sentatives to attend the national eon- vention in Chicago will be chosen. The delegates elected to represent Wester- ly at the state convention are: Sena- tor Maurice Flynn; Representatives Samuel H. Davis and John Ferguson, Jr.; delegates, Martin H. Spellman, Dr. Thomas E. Robinson and Attorney John J. Dunn. A beautiful memorial window ar- rived in Westerly Wednesday and is being placed over the baptistry in the First Baptist church\to the memory of Deacon Alonzo Babeock, who died March 20, 1910. This is a memorial from Edward H. Babeofk to his father, procided for in the will of Edward Babcock, who devised $1,500 for the purpose. Deacon Bahcock was horn “a Can- nonsville, N. Y., March 9, 1833, and came to Westerly in early life. He was converted in the Potter revival of 1868 and united with the church that year. Deacon Babcock was for 20 years clerk of the church corporation. Edward Hoxie Bahcock, son of the deason, was born Nov. 1257, and died in New York June 18, 1917. There are several memorial win- dows in the church and the Babeock meraorial is an artistic acquisition, Tt will be in a special setting and the title, “He Is Risen,” will be in golden letters. 1l isi Local Laconics.
