WILL PROVE sMoKKILL,s GRAVE.

Tiger Bill Says the PrOhibitory Law is
what Has Wrecked the Governor.
Tiger Bill Campbell of Wichita made
an argument gainst the metropolitan
police law before the State Temperance
union convention yesterday when the
resolutions were being discussed.
Bill was there to defend Governor Nor
rill, but when he had finished his speech
it was agreed that he had really indicted
Governor Morrill, more severely than
any other speaker on the convention
| floor.
Among other things he said: sThe
metropolitan police law proved LEVEL
ling's grave and it will in my opinion
prove Morrill's grave" IA voice said
81 hope so."l
He said that when an announcement
is made that the saloons are to be closed.
it simply means that the police commits
sioners are to pull the legs of the liquor
dealers for more money.
He said the chief of police at Wichita
used to GO around with coffee sack and
dump the money from the saloonkeepers'
| tllls into his sack
When he was telling what good work
he had done in Wichita, Rev Bernard
Kelly asked: "Mr. Campbell, could you
! have done that work if the police COM
! missioners had been the men who were
first appointed by this administration?'
To this Tiger Bill replied: mo, be-
cause they were men who would not an
i force the law"
He said: "The trouble is that the
metropolitan police law liz regarded as a
machine to be used in the interest of the
party in power.
"If l was elected to an office / would
do what my oath of office required me
to do if it smashed the party into smith
Green's" This statement was greeted
with the greatest applause of the day,
and several persons said at once: "And
it wouldn't smash the party either"
As he continued Tiger Bill said: "The
trouble is that the same power that
brings its force to bear to enforce the
law in Wichita neglects 1t in other
places"

perance Union. But Not Adopted.
Rev. V. H. Biddison of St Marys was
a member of the COMMITTEES on resolu-
tions but he could not agree with the
other fifteen members and submitted a
minority report of his own. Mr.. Biddi-
sons report was considered and pro-
voked long discussion, but was not
adopted. His resolutions were as fol =
lows:
Resolved. That the experience of
Wichita, Arkansas City. Hiawatha, OF
tawa and Salina demonstrates that the
prohibitory law can be enforced.
Resolved. That prohibition is the means
and the only means at hand by which to
restrict or destroy the public drinking
places, and that the public ut
Ierances and acts of the chief
executive of the state, encour-
aging violation of the law and multi
tying the just sentences of the courts
under it, prove him unworthy of a re-
nomination or re-election, and his renom-
ination would be a declaration of war on
prohibition.
Resolved, That we will vote for no man
for governor or attorney general who has
not the moral courage to openly declare
his intention to exhaust the powers grant
ed him in the constitution and statutes of
the state for the abolition of the public
drinking places.
Resolved, That we will not consent, by
vote or Indifference. to resubmission until

Annual Exhibition of the Rhode Island
Poultry Association.
The nth annual exhibition of the Rhode
Island Poultry Association, which was
brought to close at Westerly on Saturday
evening, was the most successful in the
history Of the organization. The meeting
this year accomplished two things. First, It
has awakened the general public to the
fact that this section of the country leads
the world In certain lines of poultry, and
secondly, 1t has aroused in the minds of
dealers and fanciers friendly spirit of
rivalry and q comprehension of the i'm
portance of handling the best stock. This
IL the object of the association.
The Rhode Island Poultry Yards OF this
city carried of many honors for good
stock. Poultry owned by Mrs. T. H.
Adams, also of Pawtucket, won prizes.
William II. Congdon was awarded
"Wright's illustrated Book on Poultry"
(&10) given by Samuel II. Cushman of this
city for the best exhibit of White Wyan-
dotte eggs. George H. Pollard Of this city
offered q pair of Pekin ducks for best ex-
hibit OF White Leghorn eggs and the prize
was carried OF by Eugene B. Pendleton.
Early next month the annual meeting
of the association will be held In Provi-
dence and 1t is expected that the show will
be given In this city next year.

LOOKED LIKE SPITE.

Jury Gave Mr.. schofeld Of This City ver-
dict For 5000 and Costs.
In Judge Wilbur's court yesterday a
jury heard something of the amenities Of
life between tenants and Landlords. The
plaintiff in the case was Thomas Schofield,
who conducts a shoe store at the corner Of
Mineral Spring and Lonsdales avenues, and
the defendant was Andrew j. Smith. The
action was trespass.
Schofield claimed he had hired, and the
fact was not disputed, a store on Mineral
Spring avenue from the defendants 8
mother, and on Feb. % of the present
year, paid his rent and gave Mrs. Smith
warning he would vacate her store during
the next month.
He moved part of"his goods and then
Smith the defendant, who yesterday testi-
fed he kept keys of all rooms he LEI, t,opened
@ cellar door, got into the Schofield store
and kept the fixtures. 1t seems the de-
fendant had made arrangements to have
another shoe store opened in his mothers
block when Schodeld determined to move
out, and he claimed today that the plain
tiff had sold him the fixtures.
Schofield thought the delay and neces-
sary loss of trade by reason Of the detain'
ing Of his fixtures ~ we'll a. the entrance
of his store, might be sompensated by Al
award to him by jury Of 5000. The jury
gave plaintiff verdict of 800.
Joseph Osield, Jr., was counsel for the
plaintin, and E. w. Blodgett appeared fol
the defendant.

cussed in the District Court this morning
before 1t opened for business, and the i'm

outside represented fair sample of gen.
uine New England winter day. The pris-
oners were much surprised to find as they
glanced out of the windows Of the station
to find the ground covered with its man
tie of snow.
Two brothers from Providence were
called upon to explain why they were
found in an intoxicated condition on Divi-
sion street last evening, and as the ex-
PLANTATION was not entirely satisfactory to
Judge Blodgett the brothers left y and

Edward Cannon removed some brasses
from the premises of the Harrison Yarn
and Dyeing Company; as he did this with
out permission he was arrested and fined

Arctic explorer and the spirit of explora-
ton thus acquired doubtless caused the
difaculty.
There has been trouble brewing in the
Coleman and Quirk families for several
moons, and when Jerry Coleman and VIII
liam Quirk met on Sunday, Jerry led his
right without hesitation and landed on

and Coleman was fined S5 and costs.

Casey, assaulted him on Saturday night

vague 1t present, but more will be known
about A tomorrow morning when the case
will be heard.

car that passed would strike him. A Cal

him to the ground, hurting him severely

THE CITY SOL0NS
Both Branches Will Meet
This Evening.
Appropriation Bill Will Come Up
For Consideration. j


Both branches of the City Council will
meet this evening, the Common Council
in regular session and the Board by ad-
journment. There is considerable busi-
ness on the Council docket for concurrent
action and there promises to be much
discussion In the Board over the
illegality of Mayor Tiepke's last two mes
sages on the improvement of Randall and
Brook streets.
The appropriation bill will in all prob
ability be taken up and the appropriations
asked by the different city departments
considered. OF course the heads Of all the
departments object to a reduction OF the
amounts asked for, while on the other
hand the City Solons will endeavor to
shave the appropriations down to the lowest
possible amounts. The bill has been under
consideration by the joint standing COM
mittee on finance for the past few weeks,
and the usual obstacles were encountered
in the attempts to keep the expenses of the
city within the current income. 1t Is un-
derstood that the committee has made a
general reduction, aggregating $4,000.
The estimates of some Of the depart
ments have been cut more or less, while
some have not been cut at all. The total
amount recommended in the ordinance is,
in round numbers, ga 600 in excess Of the
estimated receipts at the tax rate of last
year, 80 on each 100.
OF course it is expected that when the
bill Is presented to the Mayor for his
signature that His Honor w4l be given an
opportunity to write another lengthy mes
sage on the extravaganza Of the city
fathers.
Some of the members Of the Council be-
lieve that 1t would be . good idea to let
the matter 60 over to the incoming City
Council and 1t would not be surprising II
this course was pursued.
In the Board 1t is expected that the COM
mittee on police and licenses will report
on the petition OF the Christian Citizenship
League, which was presented at the last
meeting, asking that the saloons of the
city be closed on Christmas day. It il not
hard to imagine what the outcome of this
matter will be In view of the facts that the
members have taken stand on this ques-
tion 80 many times of late.
