Howard Schott, of Providence, took a shot at speéding in his high-powered Standard, and evidently depended upon ylofldence as to the ultimate result. A week ago he drove his automobile at the rate of forty-five miles an hour at Watch Hill, regardless of the safety of self, his companion, or the public,' and succeeded in his speed demonstration without doing bodily harm to any lv- ing reature. He knew he violated the law in exceeding the speed limit but ex- pected to get away with it. But the mo- toreyele cop of the Westerly police de- partment was on his job and placed Mr. Schott under arrest on the charge of exceeding the speed limit, and witheut the additional count of reckless driv- ing. As Mr. Schott would be incon- venienced if delayed by court proceed- ings at that particular time, he .was summoned to appear in the United dig- trict court Friday morning, at the regu- lar session. Mr. Schott arrived in Westerly ear- ly Friday morning in his hl‘h-powleyed car, and was in the court room awaiting the hour for court opening. His case was called before the reading of the docket, and he pleaded guilty ~to the charge. In respomse to queries from Judge Oliver H. Willlams, Mr. Schott said he had operated a car for five years and was thoroughly familiar with the trafic laws of Rhode Island. At the point where he made the speed that re- sulted in his arrest, he said there was a clear way, and perhaps he did exceed the speed limit, even at twenty-five miles, but did not believe he went at the rate of forty-five miles, though his car eould ‘go even faster with ease. He de- clared many others exceeded the speed e they took a ride but it was his misfortune to get caught. t imposed a fine of $35 and costs, which Mr. Schott paid to the clerk before the court adjourned, and lost no of Westerly. time in getting out k The Schott case was the only crimi- nal matter before the court. A large civil docket was read and all these:cases were continued for one Wweek. Police Chief Brown has received a pe- tition, bearing seventy-five signatures, declaring that sewerage from the Ches- ter building, in Railroad avenue, was flowing into the catch-basin near the corner of Canal street, that as a resuit it had become a menace to public health, and asking that there be abatement of the nuisance. The petition will be hand- ed over to Dr. Samuel C. Webster su- tendent of health, whe will make the Chester sewer pipe is connected with the pipe used in con- nection with the catch-basin, hence the almost unbearable §nch that at times pervades that section of the town. Politles are being played, evidently, to undo the good work accomplished by Police Chief Brown, acting as superin- tendent public_vehicles, in relieving the congestion in Railroad avenue, oppo- site the railway station, caused by erators of jitneys, so-called. These neymen actually parked their machines on the trolley tracks, and hawked for business from steam train passengers, while they stood on the sidewalk some of Bty feet distant, as they are not per- mitted to solicit business on railroad Their action delayed the of trolley cars, the terminal be- t point. The superintendent of S put a stop to this method on the the jitneymen, and they retali- ving their machines up and really congested section and fo the general inconvenience of the pub- of Superintendent Bréwn stopped this aec- tion and specified the place where these offending jitneymen must park. His aus was questioned, and he took the atter to the town council. _After thor- discusqion, the council approved the action of the superintendent and as- sured him of the backing of the council 11 he might do to relieve the traffic . Under the law, the superin- has full power to act without advice and consent of the counsel, as a matter of courtes yand policy matter was presented to the council approval or disapproval. The jitneymen engaged counsel, John Ferguson, Jr.,, representative in the gen- eral assembly, and who aided in the present council, all of whom were not the regular republican nominees, but were elected on an inde- After you eat—always use EATON IC mf""- —~zne or two tablets—eat like candy. e g Seope nalgeanion: Gassy Feelin, foodgounn; rgeputmg, headacheand the many miseries caused by Acid-Stomach EATONICis the best remedy, it takes theharmfulfigln}d rlghton: body and, of course, you g2 4 of thousands W well, Tensef benefited.

It is understood that they will be permitted to park for five minutes in Railroad ave- nue, and that they must remain in their machines when soliciting passengers at the station, and .in no way Interfere with the movement of the trolley cars. It is said the superintendent Will abide by the decision of the council, that appoints the chief of police and superintendent of vehicles, rather than assert his legal rights, as his contention'is mot with the members of the town council bu. with the jitneymen. The body of Joseph Reynolds, of Prov- idence, who was drowned last Sunday while in swimniing at Pleasant View, by being buried with a breaker, caught by an undertow and carried beyond rescue, came in with the tide just.after noon of Friday. The body landed on the beach at Pleasant View, in front of the Cot- tage by the Sea, owned by Robert Mei- kle, and occupied by Elbert M. Reynold and family, of Greenwich, “Conn., who have no relationship with the drowned young man. ~The body came ashore very near the point where Mr. Reynolds en- tered the water for a swim that result- ed in his death. The body was consid- erably mutilated by . Dr. Michael medical ex- aminer, after viewing the body, had it removed to the Murphy morgue, The fa- ther of the young man was promptly notified. The * Ninigret company has decided finally to purchase for the low price of $6,000 the old public playground known s Riverside park, In Canal street, but with all restrictions as to the use of the property remo: At the last financial meeting, with a view to inerease the industrial importance of the town of Westerly, it was voted to sell the grounds to the Ninigret company, it being explained it was to be utilized in the general extension of the plant and was to hecome a'factor in the manufacturing in- dustry of the Fiske Rubber company. Since then the situation: changed, the proposed big extension idea was abandon- cd, and the company gave notice that there was no desire to purchase the prop- erty, unless it was considered to be morally obligatory. Therefore, the com- pany would buy at the price, without any strings attached, but naturally the prop- crty would eventually be used in connec- tion with manufacturing purposes. But to this the company wound not be bounden. Soon after the action of the financial town meeting the authorized committee negotiated for the purchase of a new playground, off High street, from Han- nah Crandall. Under the town vote this new playground was to be purchased from the proceeds of the sale of River- side park. Negotiations were made to that end, option secured, and a substan- tial deposit was made. This option ex- pires Sept. 1 and therefore it was neces- sary to complete the sale of the old play- ground to the Ninigret company. Hence the special meeting of the town council Thursday evening to close/ the deal in relation to Riverside park. John H. Hanan, who had summer home at Narragansett Pier, died at his New York home Wednesday. He was a shoe manufacturer and financier and held membership in several New York clubs.

It is now reported that Frederick D. Owen, owner of the large field now known as Owen park, and which is utilized as a baseball or football field, is inclined to give over this large field for the use of the youth of the bor- ough and vieinity. Mr. Owen presents the project with the idea of a mutual co-operation between the owner of the land and the people di- rectly interested in procuring a perma- nent place for field sports, and in the most convenient location in the borough. If the people of the borough and vicinity meet Mr. Owen in the praper enirit, and contribute towards the improv gients of the grounds, it is probable tha. the en- tire south section of the Wge field will be given as a permanent playground.
