WASHINGTON, May 2-Tbe state depart
ment has received a report from United
States Consul General Karel, st. Peters
burg in relation to tho amount Of Ameri-
can gold held by the Russian govern
ment. The consul general says that on
January /, he saw no less than $50, 769,-

consul general was invited with the con-
suls of the other countries at st. Peters
burg to witness the transfer OF sum OF
80, C00, 0)0 roubles In gold from the Rus-
sian treasury 10 the exchange fund OF the
government bank, where iI was needed
for the redemption of paper roubles. In
cluded in the store of gold, he saw ia
37l, 756 roubles in value Of United States
half eagles. While the coinage OF all the
nations of the world was represented In
this part icular pile OF gold, no other ma
tions cave Russia itself came anywhere
near the store contributed by the united
States TO the Russian Golfers.

were pounds sterling lots TO the amount

Three Candidates for the Vacancy on the
Detective Force.
Just who in going to fill the vacancy in
the detective department caused ty the
death of jeremiah +. Reardon is some
thing of a conundrum. Patrolmen Will
liam II. Sherman, William O'Neil and
James Ahearn are candidates and have
plenty of backing for the position. More
over they are possessed OF the necessary
qualifications fer the position. week
ago Sunday O'Neil and Sherman gave up
the race, for on that day they learned to
their dismay that Patrolman Ahearn had
teen assigned to the detective deTarS-
ment. But there was JOY in their hearts
last evening when they saw Ahearn re-
port for every day duty at the Central
station. He travelled what is known as
the Westminster street beat during the
first half of the night. Sherman and
O'Nell are still in an uneasy state OF mind,
for they are of the opinion that the
powers at the city hall will from time TO
time call upon Ahearn to do special duty
and esoh time he will remain longer as
special officer and will finally settle down
into the much coveted seat in the ofticc
OF Detective Parker.

undertaken during his admin istration
was the opening OF that very valuable in

INCENDIARY.

the partition of the closet had been satu-
rated with oil for distance OF about
four feet from the floor. The floor it
self was also saturated. The fire in this
closet had been started in the 'front.' cor
ner nearest the house, but was extiD-
guished by the firemen before ii had
worked its way through to the side OF the
house.
Captain Marston, Detective Cannon,
Lieutenant Rankin and Sergeant Money
with the assistance OF Interpreter Frank
Raia, are collecting what evidence they
can concerning the affair.
This property has been in litigation for
some time, and 1t is believed In police
circles that spite and revenge prompted
the setting of the fire.
The house was formerly owned by the
late Rabicle Ferro, who at one time was
the proprietor of frui.s stand on Cove
street. He died about two years ago. Be-
fore he died he lsft a will giving his prop
erty to an institution for the poor in
Italy. To this disposition of the property
his nephew, who lives at Philadelphia,
took caption and contested the Will.
Since then no one seemed to know just
who the house Is owned by. VencenZo
Baroni, who lives at Thornton, is the
present agent, but he could not be found
this morning. That there were no more
fatalities Is probably due to the fact that
quite number of Mr.. Ricci's boarders
who slept in the attic with Masiucci left
the house yesterday morning. Had the
usual number been occupying the rooms
1t Is very likely the death list would have
been longer. =,
The walls and ceiling in every room in
the house were blacKened but the dam
age by fire will not exceed s400.
Fire Marshal Winsor, assisted by the
detective and police Departments are Civ

There is Nothing Very Choice Left

Governor Lippitt does not propose to

that he will recommend a bond issue.
He Is not convinced that the State treas

satisfied with the manner in which the
Legislature ignorsd his financial recon-
mendation at the January session when
the special commission Was appointed to
consider the emergency.
The issue of bonds, however, does not

Office That is a Relic of
Colonial Times.
First Town Sergeant of Prov
idence and His Pay.
Pioneer Chief of Police and One or
Two of His Successors.

There is disposition on the part of
some people here in Providence to be, or
affect to be, greatly amused at the police
force as il exists in some OF the smaller
towns I'm these plantations. In these linn
tied communities the entire force consists
OF one man, the town servant, who Is
chosen nnually and who makes no pre-
tcnce OF devoting his entire time to the
Office. On the contrary, he is often a
farmer who, when his services are re-
quired, has 10 be sought out in his fields;
and only on important occasions such as
q town meeting or session of the town
council does he make any outward show
of being the representative OF the majesty
of the law. The office of town sergeant
Is one of the relics of the earliest efforts
OF the first settlers at government and the
enforcement OF the laws, and in some Of
the towns the Office is today pretty much
the same as IL was nearly two centuries
and halt ago. The town sergeant is still
paid for his services in fees, though now
of his claims instead Of a payment sin
kind" as in earlier times.
After all, 1t is pretty significant midi
cation OF the orderly and law-abiding
d sposition of the people that such an
nsiderable force is found adequate
to he preservation of the public peace in
60 many communities. The pioneer town
sergeant Of Providence was Hugh Dewitt,
who appears TO have been remarkable
man In his day. He was elected when
the first choice of town officers was made
in 1851. He had the unique distinction
OF being tried for treason and of being
acquitted, and he served the people In
many other capacities than that OF town
sergeant. His emoluments as town SER
