of Allen Mathis, the negro who as
saulted Miss Ethel McLain last Wed

time the jury was sworn in until the
negro was pronounced dead.

Mr.. BARBOUR DENOUNCES
BOTH ALDRlCH AND PERRY

Rev. James f. Barbour. pastor OF the
Church OF the Advent, Pawtucket. yester-
day morning exhorted his congregation
to beware of sectarlan prejudice and not
10 allow themselves to be led by those
who might be endeavoring to create
feeling against those who are candidates
for office merely on account OF their re-
ligious belief. but to vote as their con-
science dictated.
"Intolerable conditions" said Mr.. Bar
bour, exist here in Rhode Island. Preda-
tory wealth has wrought deep chasms In
the social body, they are making money
by It. Hearstism with all OF its appeals to
class prejudices and class feelings is the
inevitable consequence OF class privilege.
I'VE may we'll regret consequences, but
we shall not rid ourselves of Hearstism
until we have removed the cause. Hearst
ism Is the outcome OF Rockefellerism.
Aldrichism and Perryism; and all are In
imical to the republic. We have but lit
tie manifestations OF Hearstlsm In our
own state.
Whatever there is OF hate, malice and
all uncharitableness has been shown on
the part OF brutal bosses and their repre-
sentative organs.
"rhe la tier. the pleaders and apologists
for the bosses and predatory corporations.
have been intensely partisan and intense
ly sectarian. They have intimidated some
who have not signed nomination papers
for fear OF heavy taxation or boycott in
their business.
How far they will dare TO carry their
hate may be problematlcal. But judging
from past history and the temper of the
present in the face of an overwhelming
public sentiment against them. they will
stop at no crimes TO maintain their pres
ent entrenched position. The ballot. the
person and life itself is not safe in GER
tain parts OF these Plantations,
"Iet not envy. hate, malice and all un-
charitable feeling spring UP among the
people against the deluded autocrats of
plunder."

METHODS Of ms.
MANAGERS WILL
SOON Be PROBED

New York. Nov. 5-The following state
ment was given out last night by Rus
sell w. Fish, secretary of the Mutual Life
Policyholders' association: THE unwar-
ranted methods adopted by President
Peabody and other officers OF the Mutual
Life in electioneering have not only
aroused the Indignation and protest OF
policyholders throughout the country
but have also stirred up the insurance
departments Of a number OF states, nota-
bly, Kentucky. Michigan, Tennessee, MIN
nesota and Missouri.
At the request OF the Mutual Life Pol
icyholders' association a number OF state
insurance commissioners will soon meet in
New York TO make thorough investlga-
ton OF these matters.
These charges against the present man
agement OF the Mutual by Mr.. Calvin
Tomkins vice president of the Mutual
Life Policyholders association and filed
with the Mutual Life on Oct. 10. 1905,
which charges he has already declined to
investigate, will form the basis of this In
vestigation."
In n letter to the executive committee
Mr.. Fish says that although valuable
time has passed. there is still hope for
action against Messrs. Peabody. Rogers
and others as a result OF what Mr.. Fish
declares TO be a conspiracy.
This case was placed before District At

NJ 'CARTHY OPEN
IN DEFENCE Of
PEOPLE s RIGHTS

An enthusiastic crowd filled Irons hall
in Olneyville last evening. the occasion
being q Democratic rally at which Hon.
Rathbone Gardner. and Hon. Patrick j.
Mccarthy were the speakers.
Mr.. Mccarthy confined himself to issues
OF the municipal campaign. He said that
q Democratic mayor. even with Repub-
lcan city council, would be able TO ac-
compiish much for the good OF the city.
He related Instances where public SER
vice corporations have. through the help
of the Republican city councils. ac-
qu!red valuable rights and franchises
which belonged TO the people. but which
have been given away by those delegated
to represent the taxpayers.
He deprecated the fact that the mayor
OF Providence has no authority over the
police force and condemned the action OF
the Republican legislature In passing a
transfer act that is inadequate In every
detail.
Mr.. Gardner dealt first with the matter
Of unequal representation in the general
assembly. He mentioned the fact that
Providence, with her 10000 population,
has one senator. while West Greenwich,
with 164 voters, is her equal In the upper
branch.
Mentioning also the fact that the gov
ernor Is without the veto power, the
speaker reviewed the history OF the state.
pointing out how these abuses came about
and advocating a constitutional conven-
ten as the remedy.

Mr.. H0L YOKE SAYS VOTE
WITH PARTY Of REFORM

Rev. Edward Holyoke, at the Calvary
Baptist church, referred last evening 70
three specific questions which he sara
must be dealt with at once In order that
evils for which each individual Is him
self responsible may be done away with.
The matters discussed were the act or
the Rhode Island company, in allowing
beer advertisements 20 be placed on the
back OF transfers. the present polltical
conditions In this state and the evil or
plutocracy.
In regard TO the first DR.. Holyoke said
IL meant either that the continental SEN
timent was to be uppermost In New Eng
land or that tho people must insist upon
the ceasing OF such an outrage. even py
the extreme OF municipal ownership, IL III
could be done in no other way
Speaking of the political situation Dr.
Holyoke said:
This issue OF bossism is a condition
which will exist as long as any individual
is allowed to dominate party; In
Rhode Island. however, the conditions
are somewhat unique.
"All bosses in other states are men who
have been chosen by the people TO some
responsible position, which in some ma n
ner at least, qualities them for the lead
ership. Here. however, the boss mas no
position whatever, and holds TINS power
with no qualifications OF any sort.
'lf II be true, and the governor him.
self has said so, that this man mas come
TO be menace, and his attitude "an ar
rogance, is such a blot and stain on our

"By what party the necessary change
is TO be accomplished matters little: You
feel that any party can accomplish the
elimination OF this blot on the escutcheon
of Rhode Island. then L say to you most
assuredly cast your vote Tor -that party
This is a question or patriotism. the re-
moval OF disgrace that must De done
away with.
Back of this lies another issue. and
that is the liquor question. Back or boss-
ism. or Braytonism. 1T STANDS all-powef-
full.
''The other question, perhaps more i'm
portant than all else, is that of plutoc-
racy, the money power. This evil threat
ems our future; and 1t must be overcome,
or we are face TO face with the grim
spectre of Socialism.
lit is I'm this money power that the
real ruling force, not only of the state,
but the nation, lies; and Il is that silent
man whom we have not heard for three
months, who really rules Rhode Island
1T is plutocracy that we have got 70
fight, and If IL does not get Jolt next
Tnesday we will soon find ourselves ar
rayed against the peril OF Socialism"
