represented by Hon. Augustus 3. Miller
and Harry C. Curtis, of Providence.
All three pleaded not guilty to the
charge. and Chief of Police Bowdsn OF
Harrington. who acted as prosecuting Of
ficer proceeded to put In testimony for
the state.

suit of the autopsy, and some OF the Poles
who were present during the row gave
very damaging evidence, particularly
against Cardenta and the woman Sprel-

the greater part of the day. and It was

Has a mares nest been discovered In
connection with the delayed opening of
the public schools? Has somebody at
tempted to play politics and has there
been an unexpected burning of fingers?
The committee on city property of the
city council met yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of considering business per-
tanning to certain fire stations. and In
cidentally the members resolved them
selves into an Indignation meeting and
passed vote directing Supt. Mansfield
TO protest against the action Of the school
committee and to state that the several
school buildings in which alterations of
sanitary apparatus were being made.
would be ready for occupancy next Mon
day morning.
The committee, before taking this
stand, discovered that none of its men,
bers had been interviewed as to their
ability to complete the work and that
supt. Mansfield had not been consulted
by any member of the school committee.
Had he been seen he would have told
them that the work would be done on

A statement given to The News today
by Mrs Shirlie House. wife of the Rev.
T.. l.. House, pastor OF the Richmond
Street Congregational church, bears out
what has been said repeatedly by vari-
Gus persons in these columns-namely
that they have personal knowledge of the
movement In Boston when the district
of vice in that city was actually cleaned
out and devastated. The interesting
point of this Is that Chief OF Police Ba-
ker says IL any plan can be proposed he
will try IL.
Mr. House is leading minister OF the
Congregational denomination or TINS
state. In former years he was actively
engaged in mission work in Boston and
both he and Mfs. House have extensive
knowledge OF the conditions there. IL VIII
be recalled that Mr.. House has on more
than one occa sion. spoken through 'ne
columns OF The News In reference 'o
work, In moral reform.
Mrs. House said:
"1 am aware OF the fact that constant
agitation by a newspaper IN ma.,ers oi
moral reform, has--in other cites-re-
suited in great good.
This was especially true In the city
of Boston. several years ago. when, be-
cause of the influence of certain news

as to bring about reformation which
resulted in the publication OF the So
called Tenderioin district OF that city.

be done here. and-by and through the In
strurnentaiity of The News.
'T believe also that no matter how much
personal effort we may individually ex-
press IN matters OF reform. IL amounts

also know that whom the press has the
courage 10 assert itself and take up the
moral publication OF a city. such a
movement carries great weight and infu-

Mrs. Mary Frost Evans. editor OF the

sociate OF Frances Willard and Lady

such Is a fact. IL seems. however, to be
pretty generally accepted that Mayor
Baker will retire at the end of the year.

pull whatever with the state Democ-
racy, he mas just as much as ever with

said that he could. IL he so desired.

election OF William c. Baker. This a

Gratis deny. but In the meantime neither
Mayor Baker nor Mr.. Comstock are sa IL
ing a word for publication.

Miller are becoming more and more en-
couraged. and they are anxiously wait

name to be used in connection with the

business and professional men that Mr..
Miller would make a very strong candi-
date, and could secure very much of the
