oflgreat value in securing better admin
istrative methods throughout the division
and when everything is placed in COM
plete condition will secure valued results.
The membership shows some loss
partly due to hard times, and partly to the
formal recognition OF losses that practi-
cally occurred some time ago. One or two
small camps have profitably consolidated
with larger ones, but better prevailing
financial conditions will show new camps
and new members in the existing organic
ations.
The increase of dues, with the payment
OF sick and perhaps death benefits, will
give much needed financial stability to
our camp. The Division also requires
more ample financial support.
There has been pronounced increase in
the military spirit and this path will
prove, fperserved in, OF the highest sue

are the military camps, Camps 10 and

has been perfected during the year, nu-
and much interest aroused. There is
need, however, of preliminary inspections
in the Camps and Union campfires.

Speaker Owen presided over fourteen OF

installment OF contractor OSulii-
vans reading matter was re-
ceived and one of the yeomanry from
South County was having jolly time pol

The blizzard induced the country dele

hence a quorum did not materialize.

says p. II. Mullholland, who
has had the word passed to him TO

The minority have arranged no
responsive program. They cannot
be drawn into any acrimonious
debate unless better personalities are en-
ployed, and in such an event Messrs.
Wilson, Blodgett and Allen will rise to
the emergency. The continuance OF the
blizzard would operate as powerful
blight on the whole business.

There was just six members OF the
Senate in their seats this morning when
Gov. Brown raped for order. The roll
was called after which Senator Freeman
moved that an adjournment be taken
until tomorrow morning at IL o'clock.

Was Out n Ten Dollar Bill.

A resident OF Elmwood, who does not
care to have his name mentioned, was
swindled out of SO Saturday by very
clever thief who came into his office and
asked II he was in want OF any help. Be-
fore the answer was given, the gentleman
addressed told one OF his clerks to call
at his house at noon and ask his wife
to look in a certain box and there she
would find a ten dollar bill. This he
wanted to be sent to his Office. Instead
OF the young man in the Office doing the
errand, the applicant for position did it,
and was successful in getting the tenner.

less you know who he is; send il yourself
and YOU will make no mistake.

The Providence Press Club will indulge
in its eleventh annual supper tomorrow
night at the Trocadero. While this yearly
festival is always long anticipated, because
of greater interest than usual this
year. During the past twelve
months the membership of the club has
increased from 81 to go and now en-
braces almost every person who either has
been or is actively identified with the
public life of the city and
State. Among the members are
sentatives OF the police and FIRE
departments, and men connected with
the various professions that affict the
civilization of today. The newspaper
profession is well represented for the
active work OF the club is largely
confined to those who push the
pencil. So large has the member
ship become that the committee
deemed IL advisable to secure the best ac-
commodations to be had in the city, and
the responses received by the secretary
up to date indicate that there will be
few, il any, seats to spare at the tables.

HEARD IN COURT TODAY.
Can the Supreme Court Mandamus
Itself
Question Argued Before Appellate
Observation-Disclosures for Debt-The
Docket for Feb. IL.

The appellate division listened today to
another argument as to whether the APP
pellste Court, being functional part OF
the Supreme Court, may issue
mandamus against the Common Pleas
Court, also an integral part
of the Supreme tribunal. Under the old
law where the Supreme Court and the
Common Pleas Court were separate and
distinct bodies, the higher could review
the lower and mandamus 1t to its
hearts content. But under the new
judiciary act the two courts being integ-
question has arisen as to whether q man
damus can issue.
The case came up today over an argu-
ment concerning the famous Rose case in
Newport. Justice Douglas presided. Ger
tain parties TO the suit We're dissatisfied
and writ of mandamus was
asked of the appellate division compel
ling Judge Douglas to accept the verdict
OF the jury. Subsequently the motion
was so amended as to require Clerk
Harvey of the Newport District to enter
the verdict upon the court records.
Mr.. West contended that the court can
not mandamus itself. The remedy lay In
exception. A mandamus compelling
the court TO rescind an action
OF an integral part of
itself would be revolutionary. Judge
Douglas, he said, was at that trial the
