WEST Tony Busa. of Stonington, operator of a public service automobile, was before Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third district court, at Westerly, Friday, charged with operating an automobile recklessly #nd bevond the speed, limit, and endangering human life. He plead- ed guilty tq the charge. The stary as teld in cou® was that Busa had a party from Stonimgton at a-dance: in the At- lanti¢ BeacH casimo, and that on the re- turn trip ius agtomobjle was the last to leave theicasing but the first to reach Westeriy. & — = ° A speciall police officer eoperating an- other automobile was on the trail of Busa and made the arrest in Westerly, reporting that Busa dodged in ahead of other cars all along the réute and speed- #d up at the rate of from 40 to 45 miles an hour. in order to gain the iead on the run to Westerly. In explanation Busa told the court that the car, which he subseguently learned was operated by a speeial officer, not in uniferm, passed him to give him a race. That he then passed that car and kept the lead, but gave all other automobil- ists in passing a clear roadway. He declared that while he drove his car at f2ir speed, he did not pass any of the other cars reeklessly, and only when there was ample room to pass. Chief Brown told the conrt that Busa had a3 court record in Stoningten for violating the amtomobile laws of Connec- tieut. Jkdge Williams stated that® this in- ent had no influence on the mind of court in case umder conmsideration, The court was satisfied that as the ac- cused as a public Service car eperator he must be familiar with the Conneeti- cut laws, amd that the unlawful way Busa operated his ear im the town of Westerly was against his own knowl- edge. experience and judgment. He knew beiter and the law was deliberately vio- lated when he raced against another car which happened to be driven by a spe- cial traffic officer. The court impesed & fine of $50 and costs. Jebn Casiin, of n,n- rgh, chauffenr for H. Darlington, Jr.Fwho had operated an automobile for vfle years, this being his first season at Watch Hill, was charged with exceeding the speed limit when on Bay street, Watch Hill. He pieaded guilty and toid the court he had no statement to make. Town .Solicitor Agard said he had hoped the accused wanld have something to say in expla- nation of his getion. Mr. Agard said that Carlin had given the traffic officers mueh trouble. that he had been repeat- edly warned to cut out overspeeding. but paid no attention to the warning of the officers. Disinterested citizens on the Shore road had made compinints of Car- n's flagrant violations of the law. He simply gave the officers the laugh, and when he supposed he was bevond their vision he continued speeding his car re- gardless of law and public safety. Mr. Carlin stated, In respopse to a from the court, that he did not <now whether he was driving at a speed of forty or forty-five miles an hour, as e speedometer was not working, and t it was mow in a garage fer repair. He said that in five years experience. he could mot drive without the aid of a speedometer, speed he was travelilng. He acknowl- dged that he had been warned to cut down his speed by officers. that he re- seived the warning respectfully and nev- r gave the officers the laugh. Chief Brown informed the court that hen the traffic officers warned Carlin the must reduee his speedy driving riled at them, even if he did not . He had driven his car at fifty miles an hour, and so the motorcycle officer lost the ariin said that during the five he had operated a car, he had nev- % ih a@ accident. A fire of $25 sis was imposed. As H. S. Lake of New Haven and Gil- Sert Howarth of Providence, and Joseph Hartacker of Cranston, charged with sxceeding the speed limit, were not in sourt, and their cases were continued. John T. Maxson was before the court, sharged %ith having in his possession on he 29th of July last, three short lob- sters, less than four and -one-eighth nches in length. The complainant is fam T. Leuth, deputy commissioner inland fisheries. Mr. Kenyon said he jad the Iqpsters as charged and there- tere pleaded guilty, but would like to make explanations. He did not know he rad them. He, readily preduced his tatch te the deputy commissioner. As 2¢ hauled his pets, due to a strong wind ind tide, he emptied the catch into his boat instead of making examination for thort lvbsters as he took them frem the pots. Had he gone otherwise he would 2ave drifted quite 2 distance in his dory d be compelled te, row back agaimst 2 nead tide and wind. He had measured the lebsters and sup- posed he had thrown all shert ones overboard when the deputy commission- er arrived. He had placed the lobsters in an egg crate and three of them had crawled under a part of the flooring. He did net kmow they were there, and there were the ones found by the cemmission- issioners arrived 22 he ten he had time to shoft lobsters rd. He declared aort lobsters and would have been overb he was not dealing in had always endeavored to keep within e law. He declared that lobstermen ought to be give noppertunity to get rid c hort lobsters before going ashore. Judge Willlams stated that he did not question accuracy of Mr. Maxson's statement, but just such a claim might Le made by fishermen who really intend- te viciate the lobster law, who were ght with the goods. As Deputy Com- ssioner Leuth. the complaining officer, w3s not in court, the caze was contin- ued for one week, and Mr. Maxson was =ieased on his ewn recognizance. od Heary 8. TLake, of New Haven, and Watch Hill. was given a hearing at 3 session of the court held later on Friday, responded to the summons to answer to he charge of operating-an autemebile in =xeesz of the limit pe: ible under the aw. He pleaded guilty and paid a fine > $20 and costs. A zeld watch was stelem from the of- fice of Albertus R. Maxson in his store n West B 4 street, Pawecatuck, No- vember 3. 1813 Tt was a Hamilton, val- ed at $50, and the monogram of the IWner Was on the case. Soom after the theft Depuiy Sherif Wm. H. Casey gave aotice to the local jewelers that the watch had been stolen and in the event of the watch being breught in for valua- iom. examination or repair, he otified. Thursday the stolem ;‘én"’wfi srought to a local jeweler for repair. Sheriff Casey was notified aud the name »f the persen Who had the watch was 1scertained. : The suspect beins a ‘resident of West- »rly, Police Chief Brown was taken into he case and with Sheriff Cakey made tn investigation that resulted in the ar- -est of Nicelo Digange, of Canal street. He is the lad charzed with the actual heft of the watch as he had sold it to he fellow who left it at the jeweler's. Digange who is now sixteen was given » hearing in the Stonington tewn ocourt Thursday svening charged with the theft of the wateh. He pleaded net guilty ind the case was continued to next Sat-| irday mornine. at 3 o'clock: A bond »f 3308 was furnighed for his appearance it that time. The mew doz murzling ordinames will be in force Sunday and will be effective mtil October 1. Under the prevision no log is permitted to roam at large un- realize about the rate of | ’ 94-100 Main Street : ERLY | muzzled, and no dog is permitted to be free on the premises of the owner. The canine must be chained or confined or muzzled. /No unmuzzled dog is allowea on the street unless on a leasch and in the custody of some responsible person. According to the ordinance, an unmuzzled dog at large is to be killed and the own- er penalized $5. The dog officer is to do the killing, but no provision has been made just where the dog may be killed, Whether in the public street, or. in the back yard of the dog officer. There is no provision for the capture and keep- ing of the roaming unmuzzled dog for a specified period, to give the owner op- portunity to claim the dog and pay the finaneial penalty. It is simply a case of muzzling the dog, keep the animal con- fined," or give him exercise at the end of a leasch. This erdinance is applicable to the whole town of Westerly, including the farming_districts and the villages of Watch Hill, Pleasant Views Weekapaug, White Rock, Bradford and Westerly. And the solifary dog officer is expected to enforce the law, as he is the only person authorized to kill dogs whose owners do not comply with the ordinance. If there is real intention to enforce ‘that law, the dog officer naturally must be recom- pensed and he must have authority to appoint assistants. It is more than a one mans job. The tewn councilmen expect that members of the regular police force will aid in the enforcement of this ordinance, but according to the ordiance all authori- ty seems to be vested with the dog of- ficer, whose duties heretofore have been the enumeration of dogs with a view to having them properly licensed . as the law directs. Some farmers are already complaining on the ground that dogs to be of use on the farm, they must be free. They have been in many instances trained to round-up and drive in tme cows to hunt woodchucks, etc, and make themselves generally useful and are & valuable farm adjunct. Licensed hunt- ers declare their dogs must have exercise and they also object as dogs on the leash or muzzled are of no value to them. The ‘ordinance is directed at all. davs, large and small, of long pedigree ana no_pedigree, Whether on the farm or at a Watch Hill mansidn. The dog in the automobile is amenable fo the law the same as the dog in the farmer's wag- on. Even those dogs in the custodyr of owners or other responsible person, must be muzzled. The strict enforcement of this crdinance is almost impossible, in the opinion of some of the men who helped its passage in the town council. “Dog- gone it” says the dog officer. Thursday evening the two most im- portant Italian societies of Westerly, namely the Societa Operaia Italiana, and the Lodge Tolanda Margherita, voted to unite under the Order Son of Italy. To date these two ‘sdci separate lodges, s have been two but owing to the fact| that they possessed many points in com- mon, it was decided by the members to_merge for mutual benefit. These two societies comprise practic- ally the whole Italian population of West- erly. The installation of officers will be | held Sunday at 3 ». m. at Mechanics’ hall. Under the auspices of Lodge Iolan- da Margherita, all lodges of the order of the state will be represented at' this in- | stallation by members comprising the most distinguished Italians of Rhode Is- land.
