BADLY INJURED

Antonio de Antonia is at the Rhode
Island hospital In a critical condition
from injuries received In alightlng from
a moving Thornton car. which he left

tor Edward Mulligan and two witnesses.
The accident occurred last night on

nue., De Antonia riding on a car which

ing opinion, will be ready by tomor-
row morning.
Under the police rules, there are
any number OF degrees OF punishment
that could be imposed; but, as already
intimated, a board that would find a
chief OF police guilty of such grave
charge would not be likely TO retain
that chief in the service. nor would
the present chief care TO remain.
Chief Matthews has intimated rather
strongly his personal views. While
he has maintained a silence consistent
with his position. he has let II be
clearly understood that he does not
purpose to rest content with any as
pensions against his character as a pri-
yate individual or a public official.
When seen this morning by a repre-
sentative OF the News Democrat. the
chief was In apparently good humor.
He was asked whether he contemplate
ed making a public statement today,
and said he did not.
You may say this" he added, "in
view of the fact that the police board
considered this affair OF srSicient i'm
portance for the public TO be taken into
its confidence to the extent that the
newspapers were allowed to have rep
resentatives at the hearings, II seems
to me that at the meeting tomorrow,
or whenever the boards findings are
announced, the same amount OF pub
hcity should be allowed, so that the
public may know all that takes place.
Anything / may have to say VIII
not be behind closed doors, or behind
the boards back"
Asked II he meant that he would
make statement criticising the
boards decision, he said:
II have not said nor intimated any
thing like that mean TO say this:

the board OF police commissioners for
an, courtesies they may have ex-
tended to me, / think ] should do 30
In the presence Of the board. have
abb olutely nothing to conceal"
The chief declared that he had said
nothing upon which one could base the
belief that he contemp,ates appeal
ing to the board OF aldermen. at any
time. or making any charge or NAL
feasance," as alleged, against any
member OF the board
None OF the commissioners reported
at the office last Saturday nor UP to

CANE FAD HAS
GAINED SWAY
At NEWPORT

The cane fad for ladies has been sue
cessfully inaugurated in Newport society.
1t started early last week and has been
rapidly gaining favor in the eyes of the
smart set, until now 1t looks as though
the cane had come to stay.
Mrs. John C. Malery walked from her
cottage on Kay street TO the casino with
a short walking stick of black ebony with
be-Jeweled handle From the casino she
went as far as Baileys beach,
A few days later Mrs. Mae Brady Hall,
who has been living very quietly at her
cottage on Clay street for more than
year, carried a cane on her morning
walk.
Toward the end OF the week, the walk
to Baileys beach in the early morning
numbered several other ladies, wearing
heavy double brown and green wells and
jauntily swinging short bamboo sticks.
When the cane idea was first born into
the society mind the ideal was a cane OF

Answer Of the Fall River Manufacturers Association TO the
Request Of the Textile Council for Restoration Of Wages
to Tho Scale Fad Prior to July Is, 1904 Operatives
Are Still Dissatisfied Manufacturers Are Willing TO Submit
the Whole Question 10 Arbitration.

Fall River. Mass. June 1S-The reply of
the Fall River Manufacturers association
to the letter OF the Textile council OF
June s, which requested a restoration of
wages paid prior TO July 25, 1874. was
made known today.
In their communication OF June s, the
labor representatives stated that they
were not unmindful OF the various inter
ests involved, but that they had been
forced TO take this action by the discon-
tent OF the operatives with the system Of
paying wages now In force.
They also believed the agreement enter
ed into last October with the manufacture
ers had had a fair trial and had been
source OF dissatisfaction TO the operatives.
The communication requested that the

SMOKERS MAY
HAVE TO PAY
MORE MONEY

The smokers ef-eHe- popular brand OF
6-cent cigars are paying 81 per thousand
more for the article than they did rev
days ago; and there is possibility that
they may have 10 pay more for certain
brands OF Boston-made 10-cent cigars.
The increase on the scent brand has al
ready gone into effect In this city.
The advance on the Boston smoker -
on account of the recent increase In wages
granted TO. cigarmakers by the manufac-
turers. and the higher prices which now
obtain for leaf tobacco.
One well-known maker OF 10-cent cigars
has raised the price 50 thousand. and
there is a probability that other manu-
facturers will fall into line before long.
A movement for an increase to the re-
tailers has been talked OF for some time.
and IL general increase comes the
recent rise in the wages paid to the cigar
makers will be the occasion.
Local dealers who handle only imported
and Key West and New York made cigars
say there has been no advance In those
goods, though for about a year there has
been a gradually increasing standard OF
prices paid by cigar manufacturers to leaf
tobacco handlers, and the margin Of profit
made by the cigar manufacturers has
been slowly dwlndllng.
This is attributed TO the fact that the
last tobacco crop, especially Key West
tobacco. was poor and small.
They say that outside Of the Boston
made goods they do not expect an inn
mediate rise TO the retail trade, as the
manufacturers generally are standing the
loss.
II the next tobacco crop is good and
plentiful. the raise may be avoided: but
n not smokers may expect TO pay more
for their weeds.
The dealers say also that. while to-
bacco used In cigars has advanced slight
ly, that plug tobacco has not been In.
