The Administrator Of Police Mr.. Diamond,
Yesterday received communication from the
chief of police asking whether the name Of
| patrolman Pennel, sentenced TO thirty days In
the parish prison, should be put on the pay
roll for the time during which he would be

lar al first glance, but 1t should be remem.
| bered that Officer Pgnnel, prior to being found
guilty by jury, had been tried and acquitted
| by the Police Board on charges similar to the
accusation brought against him in the Supe-
riOr Criminal Court, % circumstance which
| prompted the chief to ask for special instrue-

the communication to the Mayor, with the
| Endorsement that In his opinion the name OF
| the pntrOlman should not be put on the pay

cation of the matter
RECORDER MILTENBERGER.
This official paid visit to the Mayor yes
terday in connection with report that APP
peared in the DEMOCRAT in the morning, in
which 1t Is said that the police claimed that f
they were not sufficiently supported by the
recorders after the former had arrested dis
turbers Of the peace Mr.. Miltenberger, we
are informed by the Mayor, maintained that
In so far as he was concerned he had done his
whole duty. Mr.. Miltenberger seemed to be
under the impression that the opinions con.
tanned In the report published in the DEMO
GRAFT were those OF the chief of police, anC
Col. Boylan himself appears tohave miscon
strued the wording Of the report. 1t is saiC
in the report that the police not the chief o.
police, claim that they are not supported by
the recorders.
The complaints of policemen made to tht
writer on several occasions regarding the
| hl6buiDhuCSS Ou o. OuhIIto tbuI
Royal streets, impressed him so much that
he found it necessary, on Wednesday, to in
form the Mayor that the police, or portion o
it, was In quasi state OF decentralization, arc
to suggest that something should be done t.
remedy the evil His Honor suggested, IL
his turn, that the writer should visit thu
: chief and lay before him his (the writer's) ap
prehensions, derived from the expressions o
the patrolmen themselves, that the efficienc!
of the force was jeOparded. The writer actet
upon the suggestion.
On the same night there was row on st
Charles street, during which a policeman
Z was shot. Yesterday morning the report ap
peared in the DEMOCRAT, and we wish it dis
tinctly understood that it was report, ant
: nothing but q report, of the feelings and ex
pressiOns of policemen on beats. Meanwhile
g the subject, which is Of prime Importance
and one in which the entire community i
5 deeply interested, is receiving the attention
of the DEMOCRAT.
, THE CITY RAILROAD COMPANY.
The question is now asked in City Hal
circles, when does the City Railroad Compan,
propose to reduce the round fare to the LAX
! from twenty cents to fifteen cents, in consid
: Grafton of the repairing OF the protection
levee? AS there is nothing in the agreemen
y, between the city and the railroad compan
! relating to this matter that fixes the tim
when the reduction shall take place, it wi
have to be determined by implication. TIL
question will be whether the beginning of tn
work by the contractors does not mean tina
} the levee is secured against destruction an
the benefit to the railroad company assured
