The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1901-04-13

The law, as Is pretty well known, pro-
yides that tavern license gives the
holder the right to open his place for
business on the Sabbath and Furthermore
he can keep open at all hours of the
night in fact do regular hotel business.
A tavern license does not, however, give
the holder the right TO sell liquor or beer,
although many OF the places that have
tavern licenses have also liquor licenses.
The holder OF a tavern license, il he has
also a liquor license, can have his BAR
room connected by doors and stairways
with the other portions OF HIS premises,
the holder OF a liquor license alone must
keep his barroom isolated.
Again. even IT. the tavern license holder
has "a liquor license. he has no right 10
sell intoXicants OF any kind on Sunday.
and these are all matters that are we'll
known TO the police. The police depart
ment is also aware OF the fact that If a
person has not tavern license, he or
she has no right To keep the hotel or res
taurant, as the case may be open on the
sabbath
AN ABSURD CLAIM.
The assertion has been made that on
Sunday last, several of the places that
were refused renewal of their tavern
licenses by the board OF aldermen were
open, as usual, and remained unmolested.
This was, IL is said, because the captain
of the district claimed that he had not
been notified that the licenses had been
refused, and had only newspaper knowl-
edge of the matter
Such a statement. however, is tho
height Of absurdity, for IL Is upon the
report made BY the police captains that
applications for licenses are recommended
or not recommended by the chief or po-
lice, and tho captain in this case must
have knowledge OF what was done.
Furthermore, IL has never been Gus
tomary for the city clerks office to "of-
fcially" notify the police that tavern Ii
censes have not been renewed, for IL is
the business OF the police TO ascertain
this fact, and any captain could do this
at once without any difficulty whatso-
ever.
Just why these places were allowed 20
be open on sunday last is not made clear,

HARD TO TELL
What The Verdict OF a Jury
Will Be.
John Wilson Cleared and Will Not
be Punished For Killing
Alex Wright.

After having been out for four
days, the jury in the case of John
Wilson brought in a verdict Of not
guilty, Teuesday morning. Mon
day afternoon the jury came into
court and announced that it had
been unable to reach decision.
Judge Cook sent them back to their
room, telling them they still had a
month to deliberate. On the fol-
loving morning the three Jurors
who were holding out for conviction
gave in and the verdict of acquit-
tai was brought in. The result
was received with surprise by
every body who heard the evidence.
The best the defense hoped for was
a hung jury. The verdict is one
of those decisions that are beyond
the understanding of those who
have never had experience with
petit juries.
1t was generally conceded that
the case was the worst one on the
docket, 'and Wilson himself was
probably very much surprised at
the good fortune the jury so unex-
pectedly thrust upon him.
He was indicted for killing an
unarmed man named Alex Wright,
who was participating in a bran
dance near Fruit Hill, KY, Aug.
IL, 1900, with no thought of harm
ing any one when Wilson, then
constable, suddenly appeared in
the dancing ring and shot Wright
dead and fired several shots at his
father, Dick Wright, who fled from
the ring and there by saved his
life.

COTTAGE DESTROYED.
Flames Made Great Roadway
Before Water Was Available.

A cottage on East First street,
occupied by Mrs. Connolly, was de-

sible to save the building. 1t is
not known how the FIRE originated.

TheFuneraI.

The Funeral.
The funeral of ex-President Har-
rlson will take place next Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. The services
will be held in the First Presby.
terian church, of which Gen. Har-
rison was member for nearly fifty
years. The Rev. NJ L. Haines,
pastor of the congregation, will
have charge of the services.
This afternoon it was decided at
meeting of Gov. Durbin with
number of other State officers that
the body should lie in state in the
rotunda of the Capitol all day Sat-
urday. The highests honors in the
power of the State ofIndiana to pay
will be rendered to the remains of
the dead statesman.
Tomorrow morning a meeting
will be held in the office of the Gov
ernor to perfect the details OF the
funeral. 1t has been decided that
the honorary pall-bearers shall be
the members of his Cabinet.
Gen. HarrisOn's Wealth.
Gen. Harrison's wealth is vari-
ously estimated, public opinion
rating it as high as half a million
dollars. Those best informed
about the ex-President's affairs,
however, say he was worth about
$3.50, 900 or 100000. At the time
he was elected President he was
reputed to have accumulated $685.
600 from his law practice, and this
has at least been doubled since
that time. OF late years his prac-
tice, owing to his great reputation
as a constitutional lawyer, was
very lucrative. His fee in the Ven.
zuelan boundary dispute, in which
he represented the South American
republic, was 100000.
Wanted His Son Reinstated
Had it not been for the illness of
eX-President Harrison mandamus
proceedings would probably be
pending now to compel the admin
istration to restore Russell Harri
son to his rank in the volunteer
army. Shortly before the adjourn
ment of congress the members of
the Indiana congressional delega-
ton were informed that Gen. Har.
rison, who has been smarting un-
der the treatment of his son by the
administration, had determined to
have recourse to the courts TO re-
move the blot upon the military |
record of the family, which has
been preserved for several genera.
tons untarnished. The ex-Presi-
dent felt that his son was sum
marily dropped from the army be-
cause of his (the ex-President's)
public. criticism of the policy of the
administration in dealing with the
new possessions. To preserve the
record of the family and to secure
what he considered justice, he pro-
posed to have the matter tried in
he courts. The members of the
Indiana delegation called into con.
ference prominent administration
leaders, in the hope of compromis-
ng matters, but practically no
progress had been made when the
llness of Gen. Harrison was an
