McCabe, so-called "Main street millionaire," was granted yesterday by Gov. Green of Rhode Island, according to dispatches from Providence, and McCabe will be returned here to face trial with hto partner, E. P. Ascltine.

on charges of conspiracy and twenty-three counts of grand theft. McCabe and his business associate, Ascltine, are charged with conspiring to defraud investors by representing that they owned cotton gin patents for which they had been offered $13,000,000, and then borrowing money ostensibly to finance their patents. The county grand Jury returned an indictment against McjCabe and Aseltine on the 6th inst. Aseltina Is now at liberty on $32,500 bail, with his trial set for October 18, next, in Superior Judge Doran's court. McCabe probably will be tried on the same date, the District Attorney said.

A silver and gold trophy and $3000 in cash prizes have been post llce report on this arrest shows this place was apparently Just a speakeasy. The beer license was Issued July 25, last, to Joseph M. Schmidt. In making the arrest the officers seized nine bottles of gin.

seventeen of whisky and twenty of other liquors. I see no reason why this place should continue to be licensed to sell beer by the Police Commission and many reasons why its license should be revoked immediately. "The Police Commission, under the ordinance, can revoke a license if any such place is conducted in a disorderly or Improper manner or for violation of any city ordinance. Arresting a waiter for a petty violation of the ordinance does no good whatever when the place Itself continues to violate the ordinance in every particular, and yet retains its license' Judge Ambrose also dismissed similar charges against six other men, Louis Cooper, Donald Huddles-ton, Oscar Mitchell, George Owens. Kenneth Venerable and George Van Zandt, arrested in different Spring-street, Central-avenue and Washington-street cafes.
