VILE Factory.

The street railroad company has al
ready cleaned the floors, packed up the I'M
finished stock, taken out and painted the
windows and put in new glass where need
ed, at the Centreville factory. Plans are
not perfected, but the old water wheel will
probably be replaced with a twin turbine
wheel of large capacity, so as to use the
power TO best advantage in low or high
water. These wheels can be run together
or separately. A new boiler house will be
built, in which the two boilers that were
included in the purchase and probably
new one will be placed. The old engine
bought of the Estey Organ company and
possibly a new one will be placed in the
lower story of the main shop. The COM
bination of steam and water will furnish a
splendid power for running the railroad.
The subject of renting the shop for manu-
featuring purposes will be considered when
the power question is decided, as will also
the matter of furnishing commercial pow
er and lights. The company proposes to
build a new dam and also a new car barn,
which will take the place of the one at
West Brattleboro. The building was
found to be in very good repair and it will
take but slight expense to put it in first
class condition. Later developments will
be watched with interest.

The Secret Service has just unearthed another

ANSWER TO The CITY
SOLICITORS BRIEF.
Mr. Blodgett Finds an Important
Decision i'm Favor of Constitutions
atty of Police Commission Bill.

allty of the act creating a board Of po-
lice commissioners Tor city OF Detroit
with appointment by the governor was
sustained in the case ol People vs.. Ma
hany. l3 Michigan, y. 500.
The conslitutionality OF similar acts
have been sustained by the supreme
courts of Colorado, California, ONO,
Virginia, Illinois and Maine. Mr.. Blod-
gett has located all these opinions and
has the quotations and abstracts from
them. In addition there are number
of other interesting points which nave
been brought 10 light One OF them Is
in chapter l02. section IL, of the general
laws, which makes the chiefs OF ponce
state officers In the following MOf 3.
The sheriffs of the several counties
and their deputies. and the town SER
geents, constables and chiefs OF police
OF the several towns and cities shall
constitute "A state police" and so forth.
In the city solicitors brief he cites
the case OF park commissioners VS.. Au-
ditors OF Detroit as overruting the case
OF People VS. Mahany, which supports
the right of the appointment OF com
mission. Here is the language of the
case cited by the solicitor, and IL would
seem to the lay mind to rather afiirm
than deny the power or the state TO ap-
point a police board: "In all matters
OF general concern there is no local
TlBnl 10 act independently Oh the Sldtcf
and the local authorities can not be
permitted To determine for themselves
whether they will contribute through
taxation to the state government or as
sist when called upon TO suppress in
surrection or aid in the enforcement OF
police laws. Upon all such subjects the
state may exercise compulsory author
ity' and may enforce the performance
OF local duties, either by employing To-
cal officers for that purpose or through
officers OF it's own appointment.
In fact, ten cases are cited by the
city solicitor as overruling this case OF
People VS.. Mahany. OF these IL is claim
ed that four affirm police appointment
by state, and si& are concerned with
entirely different officers.
Briefs having now been filed on both
sides. the proposed measure will un-
doubtedly be considered by the judicl-
ary committee. and Will not be surpris-
ing If some report is made to the house
before the end of the present week. II
is not probable that the city delegation
i'm the General Assembly will hold any
meeting on the bill. but II Is already
known that II meeting should be held.
that a large majority OF the delegation
will vote To support the bill.
IL is also no secret whatever that an
overwhelming majority OF the police
force OF the city is favorable 10 the
proposed measure, and many or them
do not hesitate to give their reasons for
supporting the bill.

James Leach Wounded While Waking tho Railroad
Track Just Over the Gin Line In Pawluctet

John Gelan. a track walker and
watchman employed by the consolidat-
ed railroad. Is now said to be the man
who fired the shot which lodged In the
left leg OF James Leach, OF Burnside
street, this city. at a late hour Satur-
day night. The affair took place near
the works of the Narragansett Ma
chine company, just across the Paw
tucket line. but as the injured man
came to Providence To have his INJURY
dressed the police of Providence were
notified and the Pawtucket ofiicers
were in ignorance OF IL for seVerai
hours after 1t happened.
The story of the shooting as gwen
by Leach is 10 the effect that ne ana
a friend came i'm from Attleboro on the
cars and were put off near the Paw
tucket railroad yard. They hunted
around for an empty box car and nnd-
ing one. went to sleep in il. The watch-
man found them ana ordered them OUT
of the yard. They started OF, Dut
Leach found that "a razor had dropped
out OF his pocket. He<Nent back after
il and had words with the watchman.
IIe started off again and came pack
for il the second time. He had more
trouble with the watchman and was
then shot. The wound was slight one
and was probably made by 32-calibrf
bullet. After having the wound dressed
by DR. Hawkins. Leach was able IL
walk to his home in this city
Watchman Geelen admits the shoot
ing, and his story talies with that told
by Leach, but. he says that he thought
that the reference 20 the razor meant
that the men intendea-te attack him
when they had secured the weapon. A:
no complaint has been lodged aga ns'
him he has not been arrested.
