LAWYER COMSTOCK
ATTACKS THE POLICE.
Says it is the Worst Disciplined De-
partment i'm the United States.
Captains Physically Unfit.

The judiciary committee OF the House
the proposed police commission bill,
at the State House yesterday after
noon. The city OF Providence was rep
resented by Acting Mayor Winsor and
City Solicitor Colwell, and Attorney
Richard a. Comstock appeared on be-
half of the bill.
City Solicitor Colwell stated that he
had been instructed by the city coun-
ell TO appear aga nst the bill since 1898,
when an act was introduced into the
General ASS ambly, the subject had not
been brought up in any manner, ana
no petition or suggestion had been
brought forward. ~ the city council
had acted ADS ersely on any such peti-
tion there would have been some ex-
cuse for the Introduction of a bill. lie
was not prepared 60 say. ne continued,
that IL is not an excellent thing TO
bring about the best q scipline OF the
police force. That such discipline is es-
sential Is too apparent fact 10 pe
controVerted But as TO whether TINS
committee should take any action on
this at this time, especially after the
passage of the resolution OF the CITY
counc |. Is another matter
In reference TO the extra expense
which would be entailed by the APP
pointment OF such a commission capt:
c. G. Gray, Of the committee asked
City Solicitor Colwell If he did not con-
slider that $500, the extra sum required
by this bill, would be well expended
and most reasonable, IL IL could take
the police out of politics. cry SOIL
citor Colwen admitted that il would be
a consummation most devoutly to be
wished. but the question whether the
appointments should be made by the
mayor or by the council s vital one.
The council feels that IT should nave
the power Of appointment.
Attorney Comstock stated that tnH
real reason OF the opposition 10 the pii.
is that the city council VIII not allow

AUDUBON SOCIETY.
Annual Meeting Fed Yesterday fiGmcol Old
Eoard Of Officers Re-elecs1.


The annual meeting of the Audubon
Society of Rhode Island was held ia the
parish house of Grace church, yester-
day afternoon, and one OF the features
was an address on Certain Unsolved
Problems OF Bird Life" by Prof. Her
mon G. Bumpus, OF Brown University.
Prof Bumpus said in substance:
"Those who are interested I'm bird life
seem to be at loss at times to know
where TO start in beginning their
studies. IL is with a view of aiding such
that the problems mentioned here are
given The first problems studied were
TO trace out the descent of the various
groups of birds when Darwin's origin
of Species was published just 40 years
ago. Many efforts we're made Co show
lines of affinity between these different
groups. This led TO the necessity or
more accurate nomenclature. There
has been naturally an effort towards
discovering new varieties. The data or
distribution of these birds which have
been shot seems useless. A law Of
ornithologists at Washington was that
a bird must be shot i'm order to produce
accurate classification. collection Of
birds is not an ends IL is OF use for
its scientific value"

BIG ORDER FOR BRIDGES.

Special to the Register.
Baltimore, Md, January Zone of
the largest bridge contracts that has
been awarded in many years has been
let by the receivers of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad.
In order to place the lines west of
the Ohio river in proper shape to ham
die the heavy freight equipment that
is being used east of the river, the re-
ceivers found it necessary to rebuild
fifty-one bridges between Benwood, w.
Va, and Chicago. That the structures
might be rapidly pushed to completion
it was decided to divide the work
among three companies.
The Youngstown Bridge Company,
of Youngstown, will erect thirty-one
bridges on the Central Ohio division
between the Ohio river and Newark.
Ohio. The Pencoyd Bridge Works was
awarded the eleven bridges on the Lake
Erie division, Newark to Sandusky,
and the Edge Moor Bridge Company
of Wilmington, Del, will erect the nine
bridges needed on the Chicago division.
The total cost of these bridges is in
the neighborhood of 100000 and it Is
expected that all will be in place by
September. Nearly six thousand tons
of steel will be needed for the struc-
lures.
