1t was first made public at a meeting
OF the South Providence Hebrew Pro-
tective Association, which organization
met in Bazaar hall. on Willard avenue last
evening.
The meetin was held for the purpose
OF protesting against the position and
action OF Aid Reynolds Of the 5th ward,
with reference 10 junk licenses and per-
missions TO build barns.
WILLIAMS CHARGE.
incidentally. there was taken up by
John Williams chairman OF the meeting
a topic which he dwelt upon at much
length and which resulted in a very
interesting conference at the city hall
this noon.
Williams said that some of his com
patriots had been to him and complained
that they had been asked 10 give up
money to n certain police officer
Some had done so: but he had advised
others not TO. and after that he. Williams.
was ordered by this same officer TO stop
selling fireworks
He showed the officer his license and
an insulting reply was given.
Cant Costine read the published report
of that meeting this morning and at
once set about making an investigation.
He requested that Williams should meet
him at police headquarters at noon.
At the appointed hour Williams was
on hand.
This indicated that the talk he had In
dulged i'm was something more substantial
than bluff.
