DORR'S REVOLT
IN RHODE ISLAND
Today Anniversary of The
Eventsr Leading Up to That
Insurrection.
Providence, R. T.,- May 5. Students
of history recalled Thursday that it
was the 75th anniversary 'of the be
ginning of that exciting ; contest for
die State government of Rhode Island
that led to what is known m history
as Dorr's rebellion, an uprising which
was put down with force.
The story of Dor's rebellion goes
back to the date of the Rhode Island
1 charter. Dorr opposed the old char
ter because it allowed only limited
suffrage. Rhode Island retained its
charter, after the Declaration of In-
1840 had' a population of over;23,000
and had- only- foul- representatives;
while "Newport, with little more than
8,000 inhabitants, had six representa
tives. ' ' ; ' '
For seme years very earnest er-
dependence, and one of its provisions i of property capacity, education and
was that only those could vote who
were freeholders of an estate valued
at not less than $134 or renting for $7
a year. The people considered this j
property qualification most unjust ana
there were loud complaints because of
tne unequal representation in the Leg-
verv;r imnnrhmk m curtailing- the
power of the banks in : the -; State." He

a j majority also of ; the ; legal ' voters
under the charter had accepted it. -The
Legislature in the meantime
had called a consututlonal conven
tion which-framed a constitution that
was submitted to the people and re
jected. In April, 1842, an election was
held, under the suffrage constitution
tnat jjoor convention - naa iramea .
Dorr was chosen Governor, and a
Legislature of his supporters was
elected. An, election also was held
under the charter, and at this elec
tion Samuel W. King was chosen Gov
ernor. -
Seventyve years ago the ri
val governments- met at Newport and
organized. King proclaimed martial
law, called out the militia and was
recognized by the National govern
ment. Two weeks later armed suf
fragists tried to seize the Providence
arsenal but King, with the soldiers,
prevented it.- Dorr went to Washing
ton to try to get Federal support, and
in his absence there was a lull in the
disturbance. When he returned to
ward the end of June a demonstration
was made by the suffragists, but it
was ineffective, and Dorr realized
that there was no chanca for him
left. He was arrested, tried for high
treason, found guilty and sentenced to
imprisonment for life, but was' par
doned in a few years. In 1854 the
Legislature passed an act reversing j
and annulling the judgment of the
Supreme Court against him. Governor
Dorr, however, was broken in spirit
and in health and he died at the age
of 49. '
Dorr accomplished his patriotic pur
pose, however for the Legislature is
sued a call for a constitutional con
vention while the trouble was on, and
the present State constitution was
adopted and the iniquities of the
charter were abolished.

AMERICAN FATHERS
SHOULD TAKE NOTICE
(By United Press.) 1
Paris, April 20 (By Mail). If -the
world war drags on until American
youths have fought and fallen in
J. France, American fathers can listen
to the example sot for them by Ser
geant Jean Gaglio, the 62-year-old
poilu of the Third Zouaves.
His grey hair showing under the
tassled red fez of the famous Afri
can regiment, which has fought from
the campaign of Tunis to Verdun, Ser
geant Gaglio is today somewhere in
France still getting vengeance from
the enemy for the death of his 21-
year-old son.
When the war commenced the son
marched away with his father's old j
regiment, the Third Zouaves. Before !
a month had passed the son occupied j
a soldier's grave in Belgium. The
news soon reached the father. With- j
out hesitation the red pants and the ;
red fez of the Zouaves were donned
by the aged Gaglio and he hurried di
rect to the old regiment to fill the
very place left va'cant by the German
bullet which took his only boy.
Five war medals today hang on the
old man's breast. Defying the enemy
and death hundreds of times, G:iglio
has taken toll for his loss and his
medals are evidence. He never takes
them off. Seriously wounded in the
French assault at Tracy-le-Val he was
carried to a hospital. Surgeons shook
their heads and ordered his imme
diate discharge from the army. But
the old poilu mastered his wounds
and demanded tha privilege of retak-

Gaglio rejoined his regiment when
the German hordes of the Crown
Prince were throwing their full force
toward Verdun. He is one of those
men whose names will live immortal
in France for having stemmed the
German tide.
After Fort Vaux had fallen the old
soldier's regiment was transferred to
the defense of the works of Thiau-
mont and the village of Fleury. The
furious struggle here for days was
the talk of the world. Gaglio was
in it all. It won him the rank of
sergeant. It also gave him the Me
daille Militaire, the fifth evidence of
bravery to grace his tunic. Here is
how the army order spoke of Gaglio:
"Engaged in the regiment to re
place his son who has been killed
by the enemy. Has never ceased to
give the greatest example of courage
and abnegation and to show his white
hair in the first ranks. Wounded, he
has gained the rank of Corporal in
February at Louvemont and that of
sergeant in the heavy fighting at
Fleury."
Gaglio is still at the Germans get
ting more revenge for the death of
that son.

AMERICAN CEREALS
FOR LONDON POOR
(By United Press.)
London, April 17 (By Mail). Mrs.
David Lloyd-George, wife of the Brit
ish Premier, has changed "Paddy's
Goose," for years London's most no
torious public house, into England's
first communal, "War Kitchen" Mrs.
Page, wife of the American ambassa
dor, participated in the opening cere
mony and received a warm reception
when she introduced the East End
poor to American cereals for the first
time.
"Lycett," another ill-famed English
"pub," on Miles End Road, has also
been opened to the poor, and a third,
"The Crown," where 17,000 hot din
ners are served out daily, is in full
swing.
Although intended to relieve the
food shortage and suffering resulting
among the East End poor, England's
new communal "War Kitchens" are
by no means charitable institutions.
"From the very beginning," Mrs.
Lloyd-George said, "we have sought
not to make this movement another
outlet for charity. It is not our in
tention to give away free meals, but
at the same time we hope to supply
our meals at such prices as will be
a real help."
Expressing her confidence that this
East End example would be followed
throughout the country, the wife of
the Premier, welcomed over 200 first
day customers to the new kitchen.
"I don't know any more economical
way than this," she said, "of saving
food and at the same time giving
good nourishing food to children of
the poor districts. We want to save
all the boys and girls we can. They
are very precious to the Nation par;
ticularly at this present moment,"'
