SIGNAL SYSTEM n. G.
So Says Chief Perry in
His Annual Report.
WANTS A POLICE SURGEON.
Other Recommendations Made by the
Chief to the City Council.

2 Chief OF Police Perry, in his seventh
annual report, to the City Council, just
issued, makes the following recommen.
tions:
"At the present time we have the Allen
Still Alarm signal system, 20 boxes, dis
tributed throughout the city. The sys-
tenn does not meet the requirements of the
department; cannot be depended upon is
repeatedly out OF order and should be
abandoned. The police electric system
recently adopted In a number OF cities as
an auxiliary to the Police Departments is
performing all the services guaranteed by
the contractors.
~ would earnestly recommend that its
advantages be investigated with view
To adopting the same In this city.
81 would respectfully call your
attention to my recommendation
OF last year a regarding 4. the sp-
pontment OF police surgeon. In
other cities such an officer examines sp.
plicants for police service, visits officers
reported sick or disabled and attends to
sick, injured or insane prisoners.
During the year the City Council made
an appropriation for the .maintainance OF
beds in the Rhode and Homeopathic hos
pitals. would respectfully ask that
an ordinance be passed giving
some person authority to send sick or in
jured persons To either OF the hospitals.
AS It is now, no person is officially su-
thorized to send any person to either
hospital, and sooner or later there may be
a conflict OF authority, and by said con
fiict some sick or injured person may
suffer through delay or neglect.
Respectfully submitted, Oliver H.

THE McNAllY DEAL.
what Mayor Carroll Has to 'ay About the
Affair.


Ansir.
Mayer Carroll was seen by q TRIBUNE
reporter this morning and asked what
there was In the story Of Mr.. McNslly's
deal with Mr.. Watson, Republican csndi-
date for Mayor OF Providence.
Mr.. Carroll authorized the publication
Of the following statement;
~ had heard rumors OF this matter for
two or three weeks which came from
newspaper men and prominent Democrats
of Providence.
~ supposed 1t was one OF those political
canards that spring from nowhere and
end In smoke. The correspondent OF the
Boston Herald informed me week ago
that he had written a story the preceding
week to the Sunday Herald.
~ sccidently met Senator Congdon Of
Coventry and told him what had heard
and he would not believe IL. We both
went and saw Mr.. Watson. Mr.. Watson
zorro borsted the particulars Of the st ory
ss had previously heard.
"From the time saw Mr.. Watson only
spoke to one person about the matter and
that person is not politician.
"Mr. Congdon has always been strong
believer in Mr.. McNslly and was greatly
shocked at the information received from
: Mr.. Watson. SO far as the State Central
Committee Is concerned don't know or
care what 1t will do about 1t.
81 went to get the information for my
own satisfaction. suppose the Republi-
cans would enjoy row at this time when
we are working 30 hard for registration.
but trust the voters will all register
and not allow themselves to be distracted
from this duty by the acts OF any indi-
vdual or set OF individuals. The Demo-
crat party Is greater that any ono man
and We want to see It succeed next year.
~ haven't seen Mr.. Owen or any other
member OF the State Committee. Any
statements to such effect are not true. l
am ready, however, to back up any state
mont which Mr.. Watson has made when
| ever called upon to do 30.
81 desire to say further that the men
tion OF the names of Messrs. Hanley,
Goode and Grimes in connection with the
affair is entirely wrong.
"If Mr.. McNally used these gentlemen g
names TO Mr.. Watson, can state posi-
lively that he nor any other person had
any authority to do so. These men are
Democrats, and know personally that
Mr.. Potter was their candidate, even be-
fore he was nominated.
al think 1t only right to make this latter
statement because certain people have an
idea, that they had something to do with
Mr.. hcNally's talk with Col. Watson,
| and know that such Ia not the case"
