COPPERS HAVE
KEEN EYES ON
COMMISSIONERS

The patrolmen OF the police department
are taking n keen interest In the letter OF
Mayor Dyer to the police commissioners.
asking that In the matter OF pensions the
police force be placed on level with the
fremen.
They are watching closely to see what
action the commission will take. when the
matter comes up at meeting with all
the members of the board present, as N
was stated that the absence OF one MEM
ber on Tuesday prevented serious con-
sideration OF the matter at that time.
While only patrolmen were mentioned In
the mayors letter. II Is thought probable
that he meant TO include officers, as an
increase OF per cent. TO retired patrol
men would give them larger salaries than
the present pay OF retired lieutenants
At the present time the police force.
from captains down. include about $40
men, with % more on the pension list
The present pensioners include n chief.
captain, lieutenant and sergeant. in addi-
tion 10 patrolmen.

MRS. VAUGHAN
ASKS DIVORCE
AND HER CHILD

Mrs. Margaret Emerson Vaughan has
begun suit against her husband, Benja-
min Read Vaughan, for absolute divorce
and the custody OF their son, BENJAMIN
Franklin, on the ground OF non-support.
Though there had been rumors OF differ
ences and even intimations OF proceedings
for divorce. the fact that the Vaughans
spent last summer at their country house
at East Greenwich and that they were
seen In town together in the holidays had
led Providence society TO think these re-
ports unwarranted.
The petition was filed on the last day OF
January. The citation. which was sup
posed TO have been served on Mr..
Vaughan at San Juan. Puerto Rico was
actually served on him in New York a
Mrs vaughan's counsel, General Charles
A. Wilson.
Mr.. Vaughan is the only son and heir
OF Mr.. and Mrs. B. r. Vaughan OF Water
man street
He married Miss Margaret L. George
daughter of Charles H.. an exceedingly
pretty brunette, on September IL. 1902.
The ceremony was a private one I'm the
chancel OF st. stephens church. as the
marriage arrangements had been declared
off only TO be renewed again.
Mr.. Vaughan's father leased a residence
for them soon after their marriage and
later purchased plantation for his son IN
Puerto Rico.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vaughan spent last win
ter there. where Mrs. Ntughan was popu-
lar with the English colony. They return
ed when the warm season began and
spent the summer in East Greenwich.
Last autumn Mrs. Vaughan went West
and Mr.. Vaughan returned with his son
10 Puerto Rico He came back here for
the holidays and decided to sell the plan
tation, as the climate did not agree with
him
Until she went TO New York two weeks
ago. Mrs. Vaughan has resided with her
parents. and Mr.. Vaughan has been N,
New York arranging to go into the bank
ing business.
II is not expected that the divorce vii
be contested, and II is said that both par
ents OF Mr. Vaughan are In sympathy
with their daughter-in-law and also de-
voted 10 their grandson.

Among the more important rules pro-
mulgated In this circular are the follow
ing:

not comply with the regulations.
The amendment TO the rules approved

Under the new direct primary

age. To the average man this
seems of but little moment, but we
wonder if those women who are SO
enthusiastic for equal suffrage
wouldn't shudder when they think
of telling the county clerk their
"sure enough" age, and of haveing
him put it all down in the records,
which are open to the general pub
lie. Think of it ladies, you of ma
ture years who still retain the
blush of youth, think of having it
down in that big book in the
clerks office, in book open to the
public inspection, and you young,
or rather old unmarried women,
think of having it all down in
black and white, where some dear,
young men may see it. 1t would
be pretty tough, wouldn't it,.
