years. arrived from the Orient yesterday

the agitation Is by no means over In
the north the boycott was suppressed by

ful state and there are no signs OF unrest
I'm the south the movement has re-

GOT HERSELF
INTO A WORSE
PREDICAMENT

Mrs. Isaac c. Manchester OF this city
got herself into even hotter water than
on Wednesday. at yesterdays session OF
the National Council OF Women in Toledo.
After practically the whole convention
had arrayed itself in opposition to her
anti-Catholic sentiments and the widest
kind OF a rumpuss had been kicked up
over resolution presented by Mrs. Man
chester. that lady withdrew from the
council in tears.
The resolution and accompanying re-
marks by Mrs Manchester were in the
nature OF an attack on the appropriation
OF money by congress for the support OF
sectarian schools The resolution was
unanimously rejected. Mrs. Kate Brown
lee Sherwood offered resolution seeking
to prevent the presentation OF any report
which might contain anything inimical TO
any creed or political faith.
Mrs. Elizabeth MCGOWAN, president OF
the Ladies' Catholic Benevolent society OF
America, cried: I'm the name OF 10000
Catholic women OF America, thank Mrs.
Sherwood"
Mrs Clarssa Williams OF the National
Women's Relief society OF the Mormon
church, sprang TO her feet and said: And
in the name OF 5000 women OF the Nor
mon church, also thank Mrs Sherwood
Then fallowed a unanimous adoption OF
Mrs. Sherwood's motion, which Is said
to have been aimed directly at Mrs. Man

The New Police Commission
Bill, Placing the Control Of
the Department in the Hands
Of tho Mayor, Was Passed
by tho Senate Today:

Home rule for Providence is an
accomplished fact.
The victory of The News and
of the citizens generally who dee
sire an Improvement over the
scandalous conditions that have
existed under a state-appointed
commission is complete.
The senate passed the bill to-
day without even the formality of
roll-call, indicating the weak
ness of the opposition.
Such showing as was made
against the bill was simply in the
nature of a grandstand play; and
it was evident from the start
as, indeed, it has been from the
day that the bill was first intro
duced-that the principle of home
rule was certain TO be vindi-
Gated.
During the past week all kinds OF ex-
treme methods have been adopted by
those who sought to keep the city OF
Providence under the thumb Of a state
appointed commission: and in their dis
position -nxer tina prospective loss OF state
control and the continuance OF existing
shameful conditions, every kind OF pres
sure was brought to bear
They proved as fruitlcss. however al
the fiasco made by the opponents OF the
bill at the recent hearing.
The voters OF Providence will now have
voice in the management OF their own
private business; and the old-man-of-the-
sea. In the shape OF a state-appointed po-
lice commission will be thrown on their
shoulders.
The appointment OF the police COM,
mission will now be vested I'm the mayor,
subject TO confirmation by the board OF
aldermen.
Now that this long stride In tho direc-
tion Of complete popular control OF tho
department has been taken, the people
will look for an early Improvement in the
administration OF the police department.
the wiping out OF vice and the removal
OF the conditions that threaten the moral
well-being OF the community.
Unless this is done. the people OF Provi-
dence Will demand the reason why; and
II will be up to the mayor TO enforce that
demand upon the present commission.
which will continue in office under tho
direction Of the mayor.
