in CENTRAL FALLS.
A Man Who Didn't Know
( the Screen Law.
BUT HE KNOWS IT WELL NOW
That jerks Park Appropriation
"Honest" Thief.

Chief Goldsmith is determined to make
the liquor dealers live up the screen law.
Yesterday John Rabichsrd, who keeps
saloon at No. 7Sylvan street, had one
window full Of bottles and the curtain to
tho other drawn up SO that II Was impossi.
BILE to see the interior.
He was arrested this morning and fined
IN court S22.60. Rabichard told the judge
such law. The judge lacoDically re.
marked that he knew 1t now.
Jenks Park.
The matter of appropriating $3.50 more
for the care and repair OF Jenks Park
comes up before the Common Council
this evening. The park still remains In an
uncared for condition, the committee not
seeing fit to 20 ahead with the appropria-
tion that they already had. In an inter-
view this morning Councilman Fales said
that he did not think that even one
thousand dollars was large sum for the
city to lay out on the only park that they
had and that the park was q very pretty
and convenientone for the use OF all OF the
people; that the land and about $20, 600 was
given to tho people by Mr.. Alvin Jenks
and that he did not think that more than
900 had been laid out on IL by
the government, making very beautiful
pa-k at little expense to the people. He
believed In economy and worked and
voted for 1t as much as anyone, but there
was such q thing as being penurious.
However, he thought that the committee
should have gone ahead with the appro-
priation and hired q man and had the
park cleaned up and not left 1t In Its pres
ent unkept condition.
In speaking OF the division OF the town
he said that he thought that the city
should certainly be willing to.assume its
share Of the old town debt and stand the
cost OF what town improvements re-
maIned with them. This was no more
than any fair business man would ex-
pect In the settlement of q private con.
Germ. He thought that the easiest way
would be to choose an able and fair
minded arbitrator, Fay him we'll for his
services and abide by his decision.
An Honest Thief.
Corneliuy williams, the barber who
cleaned out the shop Of his employer, d.
Robinson at 70 Dexter street, and also
stole gold watch and suit OF clothes at
his boarding place, has been heard from.
He hss proved himself to be the most gen.
tlemanly, tender. hearted crook that has
been around these parts recently. He
wrote last week to Miss Wright, the lady
that he stole the watch from, that he had
pawned the watch In Elizabeth, N. j.,
and enclosed the pawn ticket calling for
the payment of $3.50.
Miss Wright at once placed the infor.
nation In the hands OF Chief Goldsmith
who communicated with the Chief of
Elizabeth. Yesterday he received q reply
from the Chief of Elizabeth stating that
the watch was there all right In the hands
Of pawnbroker by the name Of Cohen
and that he would forward 1t at once up
on the payment Of the SSS8. The money
Will be sent and the $40 watch returned.
Williams has also returned to the owner q
memorandum book that was in the suit
OF clothes that he stole.
