CENTRAL FALLS
MAYOR FAvORS
BOXING BOUTS

The action OF the police in stopping the
boxing exhibition which was being car
ried out under the auspices OF a baseball
club In this city is far from satisfactory
to Mayor McNally. Last evening he stat
ed 10 a representative OF the News-Demo-
crat that he gave the permit TO the mem
bers OF the club who came TO him with
the understanding that they should go to
the chief OF police and also receive his
sanction.
He recognizes the legal right OF the
chief to stop the exhibition. but he stated
that the law was all wrong that permits
prize fights between professionals in
Cumberland and Thornton and stops a
little affair OF this kind In Central Falls
He stated that I'm his opinion II would be
much better to permit boxing exhibi-
tion which had nothing OF brutality about
II, than 10 have the board OF aldermen
grant a lot OF licenses for pool tables to
be operated in licensed liquor saloons as
they did at the meeting Monday night
He thoroughly approved or the position
taken by Alderman Davenport, who reg
istered his protest against the granting OF
these licenses.
Mayor McNally says he has no obJec-
tion TO pool tables. but they should not
be operated where there are liquor IL
censes He would like TO see permits for
atheltic contests and boxing matches, rs
he believes that the boxing game devel-
opes not only the muscles but also the
mind He regrets very much that the
chief Of police felt that II was necessary
10 stop the exhibition the other night.
DOING GOOD WORK
The Central Falls Democratic Registra-
ton association Is a live and wide awake

There was a meeting OF the executive
committee OF the association at which
time arrangements were completed for the

Among the speakers who have promised
20 appear are Mayor James II. Higgins
OF Pawtucket. Mayor Thomas II. McNal-
ly OF this city and Hon. John J. Fitzger-
aid OF Pawtucket and II is expected that
the hall will be we'll filled by the Demo-
cratic voters OF the city.

IN ATLANTA.
County Jail Prisoner Charged With
Forgery.

Boss Dickey, white man held at the
county Jail on a charge of assault with
intent to murder, is also wanted by the
police authorities of Atlanta to answer
to a charge Of forgery.
The case is somewhat peculiar. Dickey
was arrested some time ago by the local
police for a minor offense. While in the
city Jail he was made one of the steve
dores, and while acting in that capacity
he was charged by another prisoner with
assaulting him with a lock. On this lat
ter charge he was transferred to the
county JAIL and it was while he was
held there that the Atlanta authorities
claimed him.
The warrant pending in Atlanta was
received yesterday by the local authori-
ties, but none of the details of the matter
were furnished. 1t is not likely Dickey
will be turned over to the Atlanta police
until the charge pending against him
here is tried.
