Chaffee, appointed by Justice W. B. Tanner, Providence, to investigate the affairs of L'Union St. Jean Baptiste d’Amer- | 3" ique, has found some of the missing ‘books used by officers of the supreme bureau in the home offices of the or- help the commissioner in his work, says a Wooreester exchange. It has been knzown in Worcester for some time that Commissioner Chaffee had been obliged to carry on his work of investigating the affairs of the so- clety under difficulties. Now that h has found the books which he needed, members of the order the actions of the supreme officials, The books in question were records and were found in the cellar of the home offite’ in ‘Woonsocket. * The jan- itor of the buiding while cleaning in the cellar found the books. Theé ab- sence of these books, it is—believed, complicated the work of looking up the past business of the society, especially that part of it which dealt with the receipts of the supreme bureau from the subordinate couneils, did so by means of separate reports and individ- ual reports from the time of the.in- auguration of the councils or their affiliation with the order. The financial reports of each subor- dinate council were taken up separ- ately. “Each monthly report from each council was taken up and in that man- ner the exact for amounts re- mitted .were ascertained. In some cases the reports from the subordinate councils extended back to 1901 when the society was first given a charter to do business in Rhode Island. Some members of the order are in favor of calling a special convention to elect a new set of supreme officials. The plan to have no convention and to settle the soclety matters amicably ‘between the present supreme officials and the insurgents, seems to be a dead issue.

It is the glory of this country that the will of the people is the eupreme law. It is the ‘boast that the will of the people shall not be thwarted. In foreign lands the people have risen up and chopped off the heads ofe those who have acted thusly. They would have you believe the wa- ter board has full control and.you have no voice. You appointed them. the preacher larger than the. creator or the servant more powerful than the master?

Health Officer Speaks. City Health Officer Dr. N. B. Lewls thought Mr. Shields left several things in the dark and referred to the matter of forbidding the treating of the water, daclaring that he and the state board of health had nothing to gain in ad- vising the treatment. He read the re- port of State Chemist Newlands, which has been published, showing the nuis- ances along the brook and stating the water is objectionable unless filtered or purified. The contamination of Bog meadow, as Mr. Blake reported, was from the LaPlerre farm, which has been abated. Mr. Shields stated that the.super intendent had stated that cattes: ture along the side of, the feservoir now. Continuing, Dr. Lewis said that the examination of the water by Mr. Blake resulted in his declaring that Trading Cove brook should not be used without purificatior. below Capadian _Path brook, and the pumping station is some distarnice below the junction. Councilman Barry Heard. Councilman Jobn Barry said that ha was ready to defend the action of the authorities and the council, and &aid he voted for Pease brook, believing it the best _thing and for Jordan broook be- lieving that to be the next best thing. He sald Mr. Shields is able tao buy spring water, dut the poor people which I represent have to bagk it a half; mile. He said the workingmen are the ones who are pa. and they should be heard in the ma ter. He denied that any man conld say that eh had done other than act for tl ‘est interests of the city. . Drinking Places for Horses. * Dr. Lewis called attention to the fact that there are six or seven drinking places for horses in the stream at Trading Cove brook, and moved tfat the portion pertaining to the purifica- tion be stricken out of the resolution. S. A. Cra askod if he ever heard of any. horsesdying from drinking the water. This ralsed o big laugh. Mr. Shields sald that the resolution intends to do away with ¢eh chemical -| trewhment, but sand filter beds can be .
