Agent Charles IT, Thurber has been
notified by Capt Rowe OF the Chaffee
street station OF the sad case OF four
children three OF whom with their moth
er have been roaming about the city for
q number OF days Some time ago the
father OF these children was sent 10 the
state farm for term OF six months for
being a sturdy beggar. and on the first OF
the month his family was sherined out OF
their tenement at the lower end OF Ster-
ling avenue. Since then they have had
but little TO eat and no place TO sleep.
The mother OF the children is not nor
has she been all that a mother should be
for she Is somewhat addicted 10 use or
liquor.
Yesterday she called at the Chaffee
street station and told her story 10 Capt.
Rowe telling him that II she could get 10
Pawtucket where she had a sister, she
might possibly get under cover. The
captain sent her 20 the overseer OF the
poor and has since called Mr.. Thurbers =,

OF the four being able 10 care for him
self.

one time connected with the state insti-
tuition at Cranston is now chief OF police
OF that city. and he had 80 much trouble
with tramps and hobos that he Issued an
