Police Board.
The Move to Get Rid of Havemever:

lay before the Governor their reasons 10
desiring the removal of the Mayor and con
ylcted Police Commissioners. 1t is under
stood that the strong points made 10y eoun'
sci against the Mayor ale, that on three
occasions, he has refused to investigate the
charges against the Commissioners when il
was plainly his duty to do SO. These
occasions were first, when Commissioner
Charlick was examined before the court on
the charge OF violating the provisions of The
election law; secondly, when the Board OF
Aldermen, acting OH the report present.
ed by the commissioner, requested the
Mayor TO investigate the charges against
the Police Commissioners, and thirdly,
when the Legislative Committee presented
report on the charges that the board had
acted improperly in the workings of the
street cleaning bureau.
The MAYOR seems impressed with the
gravity Of the occasion, but declares he acted
under legal advice. He denies that the
Assistant Attorney General has addressed
communication to District Attorney
Phelps, calling his attention TO tie gravity
ofthe charges against the Mayor and Police
Commissioners Gardner and Charlicl1, and
asking him to lend aid in procuring indict-
flents against them from the grand jury and
in bringing the case to a trial as speedily rs
possible. A special meeting of the Board
oil Aldermen IS called for tomorrow to con-
slider the present condition of municipal
affairs.
Police Commissioners Duryea and Dis
breckct, tindef advice OF counsel, have con
sented to meet with the recently convicted
and reappointed commissioners pending de-
cisiOn by the court on the question of the
legality Of their reappointment.
New Charges.
The new charges against Charlick and
Gardner will be laid before the grand Jury
Thursday, In accordance with arrangements
made with District Attorney Phelps. The
