ITALIAN ARRESTED ON HIGHWAY ROBBERY CHARGE Alfred Muratore, an Ttalian, wanted in The Bullztise | PONEERS' OUTING AT ROCKY PONT — e Rocky Point on Sunday was the Metca toward whigh 250 residents and former residents of Taftville wended their dusty and sweltering way to be present at the eighth annual reunion of the Pioneer Boys of Taftville which was heid there. They went in ‘machines, touring cars and trucks from all points in New England to clasp the hands of former neighbors and to re- new those lasting friendships that were formed in' the little village of Taftville many years ago. People were present from New Bedford, Fall River, Acushnet, Mass., Jersey City, Worcester, Providence and Taftville and many other places in New England where they had taken up residence after leaving Taftville. The Taftville delegation under the gen- eralship of William C. Kendall, who is assistant secretary of the Pioneer Boys, numbered about 150, and left Taftville about 9 o'clocky arriving at the Point about 11 o'clock. The trip to the Point ‘was thoroughly enjoyed, although the last stretch became somewhat hot and dusty. As is usual on such trips, a good deal of tire trouble was experienced, but the spirit of good fellowship reigned and when one car came to grief all turned to and helped out the unfortunate. The weather was ideal with the excep- tion of the intense heat. In spite of Old Sol's beaming countenance that hung over the Point all day, the boys enjoyed every minute of the time spent there and part- ing time came only toto quickly after one of the best outings in the history of the Pioneer Boys. Shortly after the arrival of the boys at the Point the gathering of nearly 300 went to the big pavilion on the shore of arragansett bay, where an excellent shore dinner was served. The menu was: Clam Chowder. Clam Fritters. Sliced Cueumbers. Sliced Tomatoes. Steamed Clams with Butter Sauce. Baked Bluefish. Broiled Lobster. Ice Cream. ‘Watermelon. Following the dinner, many visited the various attractions while others sought out the shady nooks and held family par- ties. After an hour of recreation the an- nual business meeting of teh Pioneer Boys was held in the hall at /the Rock inn with the genial president, Willlam H. Thomas, of Providence,“in the chair President Thomas with his ready wit kept the meeting a lively one Secretary and Treasurer William R Booth of Providence read a most inter- esting report on the last meeting of the boys and the celebration which was held in Taftville last year Mr. Booth com- plimented Taftville people on the courte- sy shown the visitors in giving them a royal good time. The matter of changing the time and place was discussed by Stephen H. Reeves, William Brierly of New Bedford and others and it was finally decided to hold the next reunion on the second Sun- day in August, 1921, the place to be de- cided upon by the committee that had the last outing in charge. The election of officers then took place and the present officers were unanimous- 1y re-elected. The officers are: President, William H. Thomas of Providence; vice president, William Brierly of New Bed. ford ; secretary and treasurer, William R. Booth of Providence; assistant secretary for Taftville, William C. Kendall of Taft- ville; assistant secretary for New Bed- ford, Joseph Dupre of New Redford. Following the election of officers, the meeting adjourned. The boys then sought other diversions, some enjoying. the bath- ing, others taking in the ball game and other “patronizing the many attractions at the park. Many family reunions were held and old acquaintances were renewed, the time being spent in recalling the hap- py_days in Taftville. Present at the reunion were many who had not met their old neighbors in Taft- ville for over 20 years, and a pleasant hour was spent in renewing the acquaint- ances of bygone days. As _the sun was sinking to rest in a red haze behind the Rhode Island hills the Pioncer Boys said goodbye to one an- other and started the homeward journey in the cool of the evening after a day of solid enjoyment. _— PEOPLE OF CORINTH TAUGHT TURTHS AS TAUGHT TODAY Nearly every person in the congregation of ten or eleven hundred at the 7.30 mass in St. Patrick’s church Sunday morning received holy communion from the rec- tor, Rev. John H. Broderick, who read the low mass as usual, or from Rev. Myles P. Galvin, who assisted in adminis tering the KEucharist. During the day hundreds visited the church for the pray- ers of the devotion of the Portiuncula, to formally complete which benediction of the blessed sacrament followed the mass at 19.30. Preaching from the epistle for the Sun- day, I Cor. xv 1-10, Father Broderick cited St Paul's words to the people of Corinth as typical of the doctrine of the Roman Catholic church. Paul wrote “The gospel which I preached to you . . . I delivered you first of all, that which also 1 received, wherein also ye stand, by which also ye are saved; after what manner I preached to you, if ye hold it fast, unless ye have believed in vain.” When Christ sent His apostles forth as evangelists He did not put a Bible into the hands of each, since the Bible was not then written, although there was the Old Testament as a rule of faith. Neither WAR RO;AN(‘E EXDS IN PRETTY HOME WEDDING A most unusual romance centers about the recent marriage of Miss Helen Gale of Omaha, Neb.,, to Edward Weissraber, a Norwich boy. The groom served three years in the Canadian army and rescued Clell Gale, who was a member of his regiment ,from death. Mr. Weisgraber carried him through terrific shell fire back to his own trenches, and it was at this time that he found the address of his sister in the young soldier's pocket. Mr. Weisgraber wrote her of her broth- er's safety and ‘the correspondence was begun. He went to Omaha a month ago and the romance culminated in the pret- ty home wedding. The groom has a most unusual war record. Lieutenant J. C. Badger of the Fifth battalion, British expeditionary forces, was rescued by Mr. Weisgraber from a shell role under heavy fire, and wrote an xetensive account of the inci- dent for the Norwich papers. For two days and nights Lieutenant Badger lay in a shell hole with other companions, badly wounded. They two | did the Saviour say Going forth, “read” to all nations, but “teach” all nations. The belief of those outside the Catholic church that the Bible is all, and that its interpretation is purely a matter of in- dividual choice, results in failure, as proven by the numberless sects. With the Catholic church, however, faith is founded upon the direct teaching of Christ to His apostles; on tradition, as truths were handed down by them to their successors, and, thirdly, upen. the teaching of the church as derived from the narrative of the New Testament after it had been written. Upon this threefold foundation the gospel is preached now as it was by the original followers of the Saviour, who were deputed by Him to go forth and evangelize all the world. It stands to reason that private interpreta- tion of the scriptures as a guidance to faith and conduect must differ with indi- vidual readers—and this fact is proved by a glance abuut the restless, vacillating Springfield, Mass., for highway robbery, was arrested in an Italian lodging house at New London Saturday morning by a raiding squad of New London police which had combed the entire Italian di trict of Fort Neck in search of him. He v traced to New London from Spring- field through a letter sent by him from New London. While searching for Mura- tore a large store of liquor was found on Smith street. William Lyons, a police officer from Springfield, where Muratore is wanted for highway robbery, was in the raiding par- ty, and following his apprehension Mura- tore was taken in custody by Officer Lyons and escorted back to Springfield. He waived extradition.

Mr. Weisgraber was sent on various missions to Egypt, Malta, Italy, and Belgium, and once was sent as cor- peral into the German lines, risking his life even as a spy to gain information for the allies.
