Rev. Mr.. Cristy said 10 a News re-
porter that It had frequently been re-
ported 10 him that persons who ran ques-
tionable places had to pay money In order
not TO be molested by the police, and tha;
the money was paid TO go-betweens.
As one instance. he cited that, some lit
tie time ago. a woman came from Boston
to a well-known resort on Page street to
open It for business; and her first ques-
tlon was who do have 10 see?"
She was told and paid money TO the
go-betweens. said Mr.. Cristy: but. not
the police, who told her she must close
the house.
She sent for the go-betweens, and asked
the reason for tho police order. and was
told that other parties must be fixed
She was n second time ordered TO close.
whereupon she went TO Commissioner
Luther and made a complaint, and want
ed 70 know what the whole thing meant
Mr.. Crlsty said he did not know what
was the result OF her visit TO Commits
sioner Luther. but he eaid that the wom-
an paid TO the go-betweens 5000.
Mr. Cristy says various people In
the Federal Hill district. mostly Italians,
have reported to him that they have been
forced TO pay TO these go-betweens
certain sums OF money. and that those
who do say they are seldom molested by
the police lie says statements Of this
have often been presented 20 him
Mr.. Cristy said that his complaint
against Chief OF Police Mathews had a
much broader Significance than a per-
sonal grievance.
lie said that he Is the agent OF tho
Rhode Island Temperance league. but that
this league does not conhne itself -
temperance work. but is active in al
things TO promote the enforcement OF tho
laws. and that he or the society
will cooperate with any person or per.
sons. liquor dealers or even those en-
gagged in questionable pursuits to en-
force the laws which will tend TO upl!st

Graft in the police department of Provi-
dence
Such is at least the unmistakable and un-
avoidable conclusion to be drawn from the
statements made today by Rev. A. B. Cristy.
If the facts bear out that gentleman's asser-
tons, the disgraceful conditions that led to
the restoration of home rule were but as
mere shadow as compared with the vastly
more demoralizing and shameful state Of
affairs that MIR. Cristy appears to believe
exists within the police department.

to guide the Assemblymen to nominate
and elect as a United States Senator
not the wrong man but the right man.
The sensation was created when the
name of Mr.. Marshall was called in the
House, Representative Harry Mar
shall of Georgetown, whose seat had
been declared vacant by the proclama-
tion of Governor Lea, ordering a spe-
cia election in his district, the Ninth
District of Sussex County. 1t had been
universally accepted that Representa-
tive Marshall had nullifed his legisla-
tive membership by accepting and
qualifying as a Federal army veteri-
marian. The explanation was simple.
DIR. Marshall had simply resigned his
Federal Office in order that his district
might not go unrepresented in the
Legislature. So, at the roll call he
was there, and by some pre-arranged
plan his name was called and he re-
sponded. There was no objection even
from the Democrats, and the Marshall
incident was set down as the first up
percut from Addlcks. Addicks next
sensation was sprung when he rushed
from Laurel to Dover, part of the way in
an automobile, for another unexpected
supporter, David o. Moore, a former
state Senator but supposed to have
been disqualified by his appointment
hv President Roosevelt, at the instance
~ Senator Alice. Moore, notwith
standing AIlee's favor, was on the spot
and was met by Senator Alice with
vigorous protest. He may be forced
TO resign as postmaster.
