POLITICAL POINTS.

II Is reported that the First Ward is
being worked for all 1t is worth by Mr..
Tiepke. A we'll known liquor dealer SAID
this morning that Richard "McBrowning"
had been authorized to visit ell the ss-
looms and tell the proprietors that II they
would support Mr.. 1iepke they might
remove the seals from their doors, which
were placed there by the License Commits
sioners. This is certainly a clean political
campaign as far as little Tip is concerned
George d. Chappelle, who was nominated
for Warden Oft Fifth Ward, knows a
good thing when he sees it. He was elected
a Supervisor last Saturday and he at
once discovered a sure s10 ahead, while il
he ran for Warden against that popular
Democrat, Bernard j. Collins, he saw
nothing ahead but disaster. AS he was
obliged to choose between Supervisor or
candidate for Warden, he at once resigned
his candidacy for Warden and John
Harvey's name was substituted.

LAW STEPS IN.
Child Saved From a RepuIsive
Marriage.
Terrible Experience of a Pretty IA.
Year.0ld Girl in Providence.

PROVIDENCE, Nov. LIN the municipal
court the petition OF the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Children foI
authority to take in custody Catrins
Gatta, a handsome H-year-old Italian girl,
was heard. 1t appears that when in Italy
a man old enough to be her father fell In
love with the child. He and the parents
entered into some sort OF an agreement
whereby the man was To be given the girl
should he pay the family's passage tc
America.
He did this, and upon arriving here the
girl refused TO carry out the terms agreed
upon by her parents. This angered the
mother, and she beat the girl unmercl.
fully. Although shamefully treated, the
yirl would not allow herself to be forced
Into wedlock with the old man.
The torture continued, aud when the po-
lice learned Of her case they began an In.
vestigation, which resulted in the fin ding
OF the maiden in terrible state. She was
weak from continued punishment AMI her
wrists were burned How this was done
was not fully explained in the testimony
given.
The case terminated in the granting Of
the petition, AMI Catrina was taken from
her cruel mother and lover 10y the authori
ties aud Will he placed in safe place out
Of harms way The Italians interested In
the case are enraged over the outcome OF
the case, and in all probability this will
not be the last heard of it. 1t is likely
that the lover will now try to get his
money back

LETTERS FROM The PEOPLE.
Mr.. O'Brien's Work.


Editor OF the Tribune:
Councilman O'Brien may not have been
AZ successful In his efforts to promote The
welfare Of the CITY as his friends would
wish, but he has at least done . few
things that were for the best interests OF
the city, and was generally successful in
being Oh the right side Of any discussion
that arose. One thing which he did, for
which the merchants Of the city are sim
cereiy thankful u him, was the preven.
tion of giving a franchise to the Street
Railroad Company to lay rails OH Ions
dale avenue, from Mineral Spring avenue
to Main street, which would have diverted
the trade Of the western district Of Gem
tral Falls, Sayiesvilie and Lonsdale to
Providence, to the detriment of the mer-
chants Of this city. This was success
fully opposed by him, alt hough the meas
ure was tried to be forced through by
"Leader" Tingley, who was 80 uncere-
moniously retired by his party In the
Fourth Ward last week.
He also prevented the scheme Of award
| ing q 20 year franchise to the Providence
Telephone Company by the committee on
city property, under a cleverly disguised
scheme to give "better SERVICE"
lie also pointed out In connection
with Mr.. Binford the danger Of
allowing the watering carts to be
supplied FROM the fire hydrants. His op-
position was stigmatized as "nonsense''
by that "brilliant" representative from
the Fourth Ward before referred to, and
In Just four weeks the same gentleman
wLs obliged to swallow his own words
and Introduce an ordinance repeating the
one which allowed the watering cart peo-
pie to endanger the city by neddlins
with the Are hydrants.
He initiated the movement which re-
suited In the appropriation of f32, 800 for
the building of the West avenue sewer
now In course OF construction, which will
be- OF immense advantage to that grow ing
section of the Fifth Ward and which will
make so much OF the swamp land In that
locality good available land and healthy to
live upon. he has upon numerous occa.
sions pointed out fatal errors in the draw
ing OF reports, ordinances and resolutions,
and has on more than one occasion pre-.
vented clumsy legislation by his ready
conception OF the meaning OF those In.
struments when submitted for oonsiders-
ton. Even his bitterest opponents in the
Common Council give him the credit Of
being the best equipped parliamentarian
in that body and during his three years.
mem bership he has never yet been &C.
cused, even In the hardest fought battles
he has engaged In (even the one which
lasted three nights In June, 1922 Of losing
his temper or OF any expression that he
cosld be called to account for.
That is more than can be said OF some OF
his critics who served not more than one
third Of the time. A CONSTITUENT.

CHURCH FUNDS SHORT.
Church Treasurer Of Providence Charged
with Embs ~ cement.


Henry A. l.. Potter, treasurer OF the
ancient First Baptist Church OF Provi-
dence and secretary OF the Rhode Island
League OF Republican clubs, is under a
black cloud.
Deacon William ID. Nesbtt, who Is also
City Auditor OF Providence, says about
him today; potter ought to have been
arrested as soon as he returned from his
wedding lip last july"
The story OF the downfall OF Potter Is a
peculiarly sad one. Last March Potter,
who is yonng life insurance agent aud
widely known In Providence. was elected
treasurer OF the church.
He had sometime before been elected
treasurer OF the Sunday school. Last June
he was married to Miss Lewis, very
handsome and estImable young woman.
After the wedding tour Potter was re-
quested by the deacons OF the church to
make up his accounts and he did so. Soon
and documents into custody and he ap.
piled to the chief OF police for warrant
against Potter, alleging embezzlement OF
church funds.
The warrant was not issued because the
church society was not Incorporated, and
there was no official who could properly
prefer the criminal charge.
Deacon Nesbitt then made known to
the police that Potter had cleaned out
II, 900 from the Mercantile Trust Company,
used up $500 from the poor fund, taken
II, 200 from the envelope system and 81 900
more from the special church fund.
Many checks made by Potter had been
allowed 10 go to protest, Deacon Nesbitt
says, and he has borrowed sums from he
Sunday school fund and credited them to
himself.
An effort was made to have Potter reim-
burse the church, and he had made an
offer Ola big policy OF insurance upon
himself with this end In view but the
matter is thought to have fallen through.
The affair has caused he biggest kind
of sensation. Potter was related by
marriage to former pastor, Rev. Mr..
Brown, and he was leading member Of
society.

A CRAZEO MOTHER.
Mrs. Mooney Tries TO Kill
Her Children.
HAD A BIG CARVING KNIFE.
Honicidal Mania Caused by Hus-
bands Brutality.

Mrs. Bridget Mooney, the victim OF q
Providence wife beater, Thomas p,
Mooney, became violently insane during
the past As hours and made an attempt "a
Kill her family OF small children.
The police were called into the house
and there they found Mrs. Mooney pre-
pairing to make a sacrifice of the little
ones.
The authorities, II appears, took the
matter IN hand at a timely period, for
Mrs. Mooney had the children all sitting
up In row and she was wLetting the
carving knife upon a big stone to make
It's edge keen 30 that she might cut their
heads off ut the throat.
The woman was disarmed and a police
guard placed over her, " wbiie Agent Thur
ber OF the Society for Homeless and De-
fenseless Children, carried hem to place
Of safety.
The police then sent for Medical Ex-
aminer Palmer, and DIR. Peck was called
as one of the physicians on lunacy, and
Mrs. Mooney was pronounced q rsvinG
maniac.
No consultation was required to reach
this decision, for Mrs. Mooney yelled
franticslly for her children to be returned
to her for her TO slaughter and put out OF
harms way.
lho SAD spectacle witnessed by the po-
lice In the house OF the Moonevs IL the
result, invest stigation proves of the last as
sault made upon Mrs. Mooney by her
husband q couple OF months ago.
1t now appears that her brain was af-
fected by the pounding which she was
given by her husband, who used q heavy
stone.
Mooney was placed in custody at tn.
time and charged with an assault with @
dangerous weapon upon his wife.
lie remained IN custody for while, but
the last grand jury failed To- find an In
dictmeut against him and he was released
Mrs. Mooney WAS today sent to the State
lunatic asylum by Judge Cooke.

LIGHTING CONTRACT
Committee Says the Gas Com
pany Has Upper Hand.
Contract Awarded TO Stave on a
Twenty Years Franchise.

The Joint standing Committee on Street
Lights OF The City Council met last even
ing and voted to award the contract for
lighting the city for three years to the
Pawtucket Gas Company.
The terms OF the contract are very SINH
lar to those OF the proposed contract which
was vetoed by Mayor Brown.
MIR. Delany OF the committee was seen
today and said he mad not changed his
miEd d in regard to the contract.
The price was too nigh, but the commit
tee could dono better than to ,cept the
terms and say nothing as the gas COM
pany has the upper hand. Other MEM
bers OF the committee agree with him in
this, but IL the contract was not awarded
this year the company might come around
next year and get twen'y years fran
chise, therefore, IL would be far better to
give them three years contract.
In fact, II Mr.. 1iepke is elected the pre-
sent contract may be snnulled and a
franchise given, for the electric light con-
tract and street railway franchises are
issues in the present campaign.
MIR. Delany said that ne dld not think
1t best TO build plant Just now with the
money market In its present condition,
for plant would cost between 200 and
10000.
Even IL work was started at once 1t
would be over year, and maybe two, be-
fore the plant would be got into working
order, and then it was thought best to
make the contract for three years.
In fact, the Pawtucket Gas Compsn ny
has got the city right where 1t can do
nothing and the company intends to keep
It there, and with such a city government
as at present the city will stay there.
