arrangements so far perfected the First
Rhode Island regiment will tender a

urday, April l. probably Immediately

mony will take place on the Dexter
Training ground. Yesterday Governor
Dyer received "a letter from Col. Abbot,
stating that the regiment desires TO
give a dress parade in honor of the gov.
ernor. and requested that IL be per-
mitted to do so. Governor Dyer has de-
cided that the parade shall be given.
1t is believed that with the arms that
will be furnished by the state that the
men will make a fine showing, and there
is no doubt that there will be an inn
mense turnout Of the people OF Rhode
Island to welcome the boys home again.
Yesterday afternoon Gov. Dyer held a
conference with General Walker, who
has just returned from Camp Torrance,
and the result was that the governor
decided that the men should parade un-
der arms and that the arms Of the mill
itia should be furnished them. He
-feHHa-tAat the men were i'm favor of
this scheme. and IL is generally believed
that the parade viii be "A much more at
tractive event from spectacular
standpoint with the men marching un-
der arms than otherwise.
Immediately after the parade the sew
eral companies will be marched TO the
different armories and there will de-
poslt the borrowed arms and equip
ments. The committee on reception will
meet today and some action on what
the committee will do in connection
with the welcome may be taken.
The regiment, probably about 1000
strong, will leave Columbia, 5. c., next
Thursday afternoon, in three sections.
one battalion will form a section. The
men will come over the Atlantic coast
line railroad TO Washington in three
trains about an hour apart. The last
section will leave Columbia at about 6
o'clock in the afternoon. From Wash
ington the Pennsylvania railroad will
carry the men 10 Jersey City. At Jer-
sey City the steamer Rhode Island will
be boarded, and supper will be served
as soon as the men arrive on the boat.
Breakfast viii also be served on the
boat 1T Is expected that the boat Will
reach this city at about 10 o'clock on
the morning OF Saturday. April /.
AS soon as the men are landed they
will receive the arms and equipment,
and then will come the street parade,
after which the men will be served with
coffee and sandwiches at the several
armories. Companies ID and l. will go
by-train I'm body to Woonsocket i'm
mcdiately after the conclusion of the
parade. while Company X will so TO
Westerly i'm the same way. Company

greater portion of il Will.

MAMMOTH COTTON MILL.
Eostcn and Now York Capitalists SAID 10 Ccniem-
plale euiding Grsal rani in Rhode Island.

1t is reported by one of the leading
cotton manufacturers of Rhode Island
that a syndicate Of capitalists is busy
looking over available water privileges
In this state. preparatory to the erec-
ton of mammoth cotton mill.
More than one manufactures has re-
ceived an offer for his mill in order to
gain the water privilege. The Paw
tucket river, on which are situated
some of the largest cotton mills in New
England, is chiefly sought. The syndi-
cate has "a capital of about S5OOO,OOO,
and, il is understood comprises three
brokers now doing business IN New
York four Boston men and three men
from FAN River, TWO or whom are al
ready large owners of stock In Fan
River mills.
Two lawyers, representing the syn
dicate. have been in the PawtuXet
valley several days. The big mill Dams
have been looked at.The agents Tor -de
syndicate have also visited coventry
Center, at which place the T. &. Peck
ham wooien mills are located. These
are idle. They are owned by ROBERT
Knight, the cotton king.
The agents looked over the plant. but
were noncommitral as TO their opinion
of the site They said the water power
was superb, and If a mill was erected
at that place the owners would be at
the fountain head of the water priVi-
lege of the Pawtuxet valley.
The Coventry Center mills were sold
at auction about two years ago 10
Robert Knight for about $4,000, but
have remained closed.
Manufacturers interviewed said that
they had recently received liberal offers
from the agents. The syndicate. IL rs
learned. originally intended to build in
Fail River or Taunton, but feels con-
fident that there is a better field in this
state owing to land being cheaper and
taxes much less.

POLICE AND POLITICS.
Rev. Or. SIicer Amp|lfles Some Of
His Recent Statements.
Evils That Result From the Political Control
Of The Police.

The Rev. DIR. Thomas II. Slicer. for
merly of this city, who was one of the
speakers on the municipal police prob
lem before the City club at New York
on Monday evening, yesterday explain
ed that one part of his address, I'm
which he referred 10 the foreign popu-
lation OF New York, has been misunder-
rectly.
Il am represented as saying" said
DR.. Slicer, "that this city is made up
so largely of ignorant foreigners What
/ did say was that the city received
many recruits from foreigners, because
statistics show that So per cent. OF i'm
migrants settle In large cities. Now
this foreign element naturally regards
the police as representing the law. They
go 10 the police for guidance. If the
police are corrupt and are the mere in
struments of scheming politicians, then
they will guide the alien population
wrongly.
from politics, and the alien population
will be guided properly and will become
good citizens Under the administra-
tion OF Mayor Strong the police were
removed from politics. They cleared
the east side and the lower portion OF
the city from the annoy4ce which
push cart men had broul ht on, and
from vice, rendered more common by
leaving vans in the thoroughfares dur
ing the night.
Since Tammany came into power,
push cart and van annoyances and
abuses have been renewed.
"Mr. Croker represents merely a
class lie can see further than his
followers. He leads them because they
are partly blind. He does not repre-
sent the highest interests of this city.
His leadership does not educate our
alien population as it should be edu-
Gated. There are stronger men than Mr..
Croker"

TheBoard OF Alderman meeting yes
terday was long one. but the most of
the time was taken with the hearing OF
arguments on the legality OF the
boards action i'm abadonlng Comfort
street. No action was taken In the milk
inspector matter. Supervisors for the
next election were appointed and the
pay Of a number of police officers was
raised.
The first matter taken UP was the
protest OF the Boston Store Land COM
pany and others against the abandon
ment Of Comfort street There was a
slight dispute as to which side should
open the discussion.
Edward Ii. Bassett said he appeared
in behalf Of the Boston Store Land
company. Richard r. Comstock said il
was question Of Jurisdiction. Mr..
Bassett joined issue with him, saying
the board had no Jurisdiction TO pass
the order.
Judge Stephen A. Cooke said he ap-
peared I'm behalf of the Mathewson
Street NJ. Il. church and as a citizen. II
was embarrassing, he said, 60 appear
before the board 20 demonstrate against
its action. IL IL was important TO use
care in taking private property for
portant TO use care i'm abandoning
street in a business section which had
been used by the public since 1900. He
asked the board TO consider the closing
of a public highway as an important
matter and the need OF such a street in
getting To a fire. Judge Cooke said
that the board once closed part of Ash
burton street and it was afterwards
found necessary TO use the highway
again. The views OF the fire depart
ment, as expressed i'm a letter by the
fire commissioners TO the mayor, when
Mr.. Shepard wished TO build a passage
way over Comfort street were read.
Speaking as To Jurisdiction Judge
Cooke said that section / of chapter IL
of the general laws provided that the
action Of the Board of Aldermen in the
layout OF n highway be preceded by
request from the Common Council. He
said that action by the Common Coun-
ell was necessary before abandonment
OF "A highway could be accomplished.
as the same action was required by the
statute in both cases. The action of
the board in abandoning this highway.
Comfort street was void because the
condition precedent request for such
action by the Common Council had not
been made.
Even If the action was legal II would
be great menace 10 the public and to
property TO have this street closed, as
the fire department would be unable
TO fight fires in the rear of buildings
adyantageously.
Mr.. Bassett said II II was question
OF laying out Comfort street the Math-
ewson NJ. Il. church and the Boston
store Land company would be assessed
for the value their property would de-
rive from IL. and spoke of the large
thrown into Union street by reason
OF the closing Of Comfort street, as Mr..
Shepard would have to load all his
teams on that street
