RHODE ISLAND ROW
IN SENATE SUBSIDIES
Plainelothes Officers on Floor in
Battle Over Naming of State
Police Head.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., January l3.-
The Rhode Island Senate, scene OF
turbulent sessions since Tuesday, was
comparatively quiet yesterday as plain
clothes police mingled with the crowd
in the chamber while Democrats, domi-
nant since the trouble began, succeeded
in bringing about adjournment after 30
seconds.
The Senate has been in an uproar
over the appointment OF Edward j.
Kelly, superintendent of the Providence
Police Department, as head of the
State police. The Republicans, % in
number, claimed the Democrats, total
ing only 13, had ''jammed' confirmation
of Kelly through the Senate. They
claimed also that Lieut.. Gov. Robert
E. Quinn, Democrat, had ruled the
records of confirmation approved in
spite of objections by Republican Sen
atorS.
The Democrats were successful in
preventing any action yesterday by
pushing through an order to adjourn
shortly after the roll call was called.
Prominent Republicans in Providence
yesterday entered into the situation by
stating to Gov. Theodore F.. Green, a
Democrat, they would appeal to Presi-
dent Roosevelt if the situation in the
Senate did not change.
The confirmation Of Kelly's appoint
ment was seconded and put through so
quickly on Wednesday by Lieut. Gov.
quinn that it disabled an organized
move by Republicans to defeat the ap-
pointment.
