Westerly Secretary of State, L. +. Rem
ington OF Providence Treasurer, w. =
Brownell of Newport.
Mr. Woodworth for the committee an
nounced that Alex Gilbert of Woonsocket
would not allow his name on the ticket
and so Mr.. Tripp had been chosen.
Elisha Il Reed of Woonsocket, stated
that Mr. Gilbert had assured him no later
than this morning that he would accept
the nomination.
Both the names of Mr.. Trip and Gil
bert were placed before the convention
and a rising vote was taken. Mr.. Tripp
received Al votes and Mr. Gllbert's nomi-
nation was made unanimous.
The rest of the ticket was nominated
unanimously rs reported 10y the COM
mittee.
A codicl to the platform was intro
duced TO advocate the principle of equal
pay for equal work for both sexes, and
that the party endorse the principle of
equal rights, also at the ballot box.
This called forth some hot discussion
| Mr.. Sweet said that he had learned that
the ladies' were becoming as much adj
dicted TO the use of liquor as the men, and
he thought it would be out of place TO
give them n chance at the ballot box.
Mr. Cook of Providence said ne was sur
plised at this narrow-minded view taken
by Mr. Sweet. The women ought to have
had the right TO vote years ago, and IL was
time that their rights were advocated by
the Prohibitionists.
Somebody suggested that the name be
changed from that Of the Prohibition
party To that of the Equal Rights.
Hon. William f.. Franklin thought the
party had timber enough already.
He thought it was wholly uncalled for.
| Why divide the Prohibition party on this
question. The rum question was enough
for the party to fight at one time.
At this juncture u was discovered that
the original platform contained a section
advocating womans' rights and the codi-
Gil was indefinitely postponed.

lowing list of delegates TO the

TO SEE F" THE SHIPS"
A Countryman Who Was Filled
With Wonder.

His long plaid cape ulster of a light blue
tint, the checks of perhaps an inch in di-
mension, and the umbrella, descended
from the ark, altogether proclaimed him
as from the country. Timidly he ap-
preached Officer Simonds in the depot and
in voice trembling with suppressed
eagerness asked, (which is the way TO the
ships I've just come in from out of
town and want to see the ships"
The genial officer suppressing n smile
directed him on his way and he started off
Shortly after he returned, with "A scared
look on his face and after cautiously
glancing around, whispered to the officer,
" Is it far 10 the ships?"
He was given careful directions aud
Immediately rambled off in satisfied
manner, his face beaming with suppressed
gladness and joyful light shining in his
eyes as he proceeded To realize the dream
of several weeks.

In the Trocadero, on Mathcwson street,
the State convention of the Prohibition
party was called to order at 1913 o'clock
this forenoon. There was a gathering
numbering about 300, including many la
dies, in the hall when II, ;, Woodworth
called the convention to order.
The temporary organization resulted as
follows Chairman, George ii. Slade ;
secretaries, James n. Todd aud a. w

been effected, Rev. DIR. Greene Of Trinity
NJ. L. Church of this city offered prayer,
after which the credentials of the dele
gates were called for. James y. Todd, a.

"A committee on credentials.

While the committees were at work the
Rev. Henry B. Hudson of the national
Prohibition committee of New York was
introduced and spoke encouragingly OF the
work of the Prohibition party. The record
of the two old parties had demonstrated
that neither would take hold Of the liquor
question.
Nothing was to be expected from either
the Democrats or Republicans. The only
thing to be done was to form a new party.
II would be suicidal for the Republican
party TO attempt Co settle the liquor ques-
tion by the introduction OF Prohibition,
and the Republicans are not committing
suicide. The Republicans have always
stood for the license policy. The entire
license policy is n farce

were In danger of death.
Senior Arias was one OF those killed. He
died from bullet wound inflicted by "A
policeman. Senor Salvador Collao was
also shot dead by the police lie was one
of the foremost radicals in San Luis and

that the ex-Secretary's death may occur

DISCUSSING SATOLLL.
Some Say He is q Papal Detective ano
Others That Rome is in Accord Win
Zealand.


Ireland.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, December 14.-The
discussion of the visit OF Mgr. Satoiil 10
this country and his acts have led TO the
use of many titles concerning him. But
he was yesterday dubbed "Papal De-
tective" by the opponents OF Arch
bishop Ireland, who speculated upon the
probability of there being something
found in Archbishop Ireland's motives
and methods that would avail against his
reform of the Catholic schools when re-
ported to Rome. The theories started
from this, however, were somewhat
overshadowed by the announce
ment made from New York TO
the effect that Mgr. Satolll was
about TO return; that his mission
to this country had been a failure, ana
that he was resentful of his treatment
nv the American Metropolitans, ana
especially angry at Archbishop Ireland.
This report occupied the attention OF
Archbishop Ireland's friends, who med
itated and discussed its meaning. AS
usual. few Catholics would consent 10
the use of their names, though gooa
many would talk, upon both sides OF
question. Hon. Henry j. Spaunhorst
was asked what in his opinion was
Mgr Satolli's business here. de re-
piled:
81 cannot say. He was undoubtedly
here for some special purpose, but rep
resentatives of the Pope attend to their
business quietly. He is sort OF detec-
tive. Rome wants, no doubt, to know
more than has been reported to her on
the condition of Catholic affairs in this
country; especially on the school ques-
tiop. than has been represented by those
who were interested. So Mgr. Satolll
was sent Quietly to find out the positions
of the leaders and their motives ana
methods. When Rome speaks we WILL
learn all about the matter, and not until
| then"
"Ob. that's all bosh," said Father
Phelan, editor Of the Western Waterman
in a positive manner, when the fore
going theory was detailed to him
@Has not Mgr. Satolli spoken plain
enough? That address is the language
OF the Pope himself. 1t is the position
of Rome on the school question, anC
these parties have got to take thell
medicine. Now, this other thing aoou
Mgr. Satolli being a sort OF detective Is
one other phase of desperate motive
but don't quite understand 1t. Inere Il
nothing in it, however, because Rome
does not have to have man watched
To discover his motive. Besides, Rome
approves Archbishop Ireland's poSltloi
on the school question"

The Motion to oaash Overruled.
UNIoNTOwN, PA. December IA
! There was great interest in the Court
at the decision Of the Judge on the Coo

Attorneys discussed the situation and
every one was on tip toes of expecta-
tion to see the Quashing Of the Cooley
case.
The Judge was few minutes late and
the Cooley family had not put in an ap-
pearance. Mr.. Downs, with pile Of
legal authorities before him, sat quite
confident, whilst the District Attorney
and Mr.. Mexican sat together whisper
ing. When the court opened jury
gave a verdict in an assault case, and
then District Attorney Frazer arose
amid silence.
BE quoted from wharton" to show
that ii was a peculiarly Pennsylvania
custom 20 have indictments in the
form objected to. Mr.. Downs also quo
ted TO overrule this. After some dis
cussion Judge Ewing said he had care
fully considered the question and found
il was the custom in this State. He
thought it a very loose practice, and
would have Quashed the bills but for an
instance which be quoted as precedent.
He overruled Mr.. Downs motion.
Attorney Searight tried for contin-
nance on account Of the sbsence of
witnesses and also because Of the pop
ular feeling in the case, but he also has
overruled the witnesses both for the
commonwealth and the defense, and
the defendants had gone of believing
after last night that they could not

Judge said they would all require to
