BROWNS PLAIN TALK.
Our Mayor Before the
Senate Committee
ON THE LICENSE QUESTION.
He and Other Prominent People OPP
>nosa tha pi11

The Senate committee on the judiciary
gave q public hearing this afternoon, on
the License Comm issioners act. Cha ir-
man Freeman presided.
The remonstrants were hrst heard and
Mayor Brown OF this city was the first
speaker.
He spoke briefly. but pointedly, and in
no uncertain tone protested against the
passage OF the act as II would only tend to
complicate matters much more so than at
present.
He criticised the action Of introd ucing
Legislation OF this character In order to
please individual dealers In liquor and also
stated that be was requested by friends Of
this dealer to remove the License Com
missioners whom he found In office when
he was inaugurated Mayor.
The Board at present In this city was
composed OF two Republicans and one
Democrat and the business was handled
quite we'll.
Last year complaints were made by this
same dealer because larger number OF
licenses were not granted while the May
or thought too many were given. There
were number OF unlicensed places and
1t was a notorious fact that the most OF
OF them were In the Second Ward of this
city.
In his opinion IL would drive the liquor
question more In politics than ever IL this
bill was passed.
In answer to Mr.. Freeman Mayor Brown
stated that 80 far as he knew II was quite
well eliminated at present as at his election
he neither pledged nor promised any per
son license as result of such election
Alderman O'Reilly of this city and
Councilman McGuy of Providence also
opposed the bill.
c. Acton Ives, Esq, OF Newport in be-
half OF the Retail Liquor dealers Of New
port, also opposed the passage OF the act
Ex-Mayor Carroll of this city was
present, and In fact ali the prominent
politicians were there.

Mind.

A Consemptibie Misoreant with Deba.ed
Mind.
For sometime past the people residing
on West avenue, betwe Pearl and Brown
streets, have been annoyed by a man who
after the dwellings have been lighted
sneaks and peeps in the windows where
the curtains have not been closely drawn.
What his object is can on'y be guessed at
but he must be acting on the promptings
of a very badly diseased mind. He was
around last evening and this morning the
people residing at 113 West avenue saw
his foot prints under a window. He was
seen by several, which dispels the idea
that II is a boy for he Is full grown man.
IL this fellow escapes getting a load OF
bird shot he will sooner OF later fall into
the hands OF the police and be sent where
he will peep through network OF iron
bars which is the proper place for such a
creature.
