Stunning life he led during his residence
here, that he played so important a
part in the days when the nations ex-
istence was in peril. A gallant soldier
during the war of the rebellion. he was
likewise afteTward a gallant officer of
the court and later a fearless jurist in
the south when in the times of rehabili-
tation his life was often jeopardized by
his unfaltering discharge of judicial
duty. He was d man of firm convic-
ton, unyielding on the side of truth
and Justice. All his life a staunch re-
publican, he was nevertheless an ear
nest supporter of Bryan for the presi-
dency. because he saw in the platform
OF the party to which he had given 10y
al adherence for so many years, ten
dency toward class legislation against
the masses. He put his ideas of right
and wreng above political creed or par
tisan dictation. and stood always for
the right as God gave him to see it.

was next gone into, this being fixed a.

He appeared in the court with a cigal
between his teeth, smiling and self.pos
sessed and confident. He and his at
torneys left this afternoon.

POLICE DEPT. HISTORY
SOON TO Be PUBLISHED

An illustrated history OF the Providence
police department is being prepared. and
canvassers have been visiting business
men obtaining advertisements or sub
scriptions.
Before the work was thoroughly under
stood. and perhaps before the agents had
a clear understanding of their exact re
laton to the police department. there was
considerable complaint by manufacturers
and merchants. who thought the agents
were police officers or held positions In
the police association, and who wanted
10 be sure that the agents were properly
authorized before they gave checks.
1t is understood that the publisher gets
out the work paying all expenses, and
receives 60 per cent OF the proceeds. All
checks and all moneys are to be turned
over TO the treasurer OF the Police Ben
eflcial association, Detective Caffrey, who
is to retain for the association 80 per cent.
The police have nothing 10 do with the
preparation of the work. but will benefit
from it's publication TO the extent named
Since the chairman of the police COM
mission investigated the complaints and
talked with the publisher. who in turn
instructed his agents what representa-
tons TO make. there have been no fur
ther complaints.

PUSHING WORK ON THE
HIGH PRESSURE SERVICE

one Of the sections Of the new main
from the Sockanosset reservoir TO this
city will soon be laid, and Commissioner
OF Public Works Walter r. Slade thinks
that water win be running through IL
next fall.
1t Is a 42-inch main. and Is II inches
larger I'm diameter than any other main
running into this city. IL will have much
greater friction than the 30-inch mains
and double the capacity.
There will be three sections from the
reservoir TO this city. and they will sup
ply the city with water, with the ex-
ception OF the east side and the Fruit
hill districts, There is also a fourth
section supplying the north end. but this
was completed n long time ago
In speaking OF the new main this morn
ing Mr. Slade said.
I'VE expect soon 10 have the main
laid and hope that water will be run
ming through Il before winter. IL will
relieve a trouble that has been bothering
this department for years and will sup
ply higher pressure TO the entire city
with the exception of the Fruit hill dis
trlct and the east side.

Is no necessity for such dual commands

method be resumed.

urally Il seems that the duties are not
such as TO require two general officers

nation that the Greedy report may sug-
