Police Commissioners.

The Hearing On> Saturday Evening
Witnesses Told to Charge Their Fees.
The Police Commissioners held an ad.
journed meeting on Saturday evening to far
ther hear charges made by l.. B. Hinman
against Captain W. M. Hyde. 1t was under
stood at the previous hearing that Foster S.
Bassett, of the Union, should alone be called,
but Commissioner Catlin thought that re-
porters of other papers should be subp@aasd
and so instructed Lieutenant Wrinn to sum-
mon them. The lieutenant obeyed orders,
but on Saturday night Mr.. BolIman stated
that he thought no one but the full board
or the president of the board under their
orders had any right TO Subpoena witnesses,
and in this Mr.. CatIin gracefully acauiesced,
saying that perhaps he had exceeded bis
powers.
When the reporters asked for their fees they
were referred to Mr. Catlin and that gentle
man told them to "charge it, 1t is under
stood that these reporters will present bill
at tho next meeting OF the board for witnesg
fees and travel and if they are not paid that
they will sue the city for the sixty cents
which they believe they are justly entitled to.
After Mr.. Basset's testimony was
heard ME. Binman expressed himself
as willing to let tbs matter drop
Mr.. Catlin, however. thought the Gaze ghQgld
be continued until Monday evening and SO
moved. After discussion vote was taken,
and thess vss tie, Messrs. Catlin and Gall
lagher voting for eentinuance and Messrs.
Hart and sheldon against. AfteF considers
t1n Mr.. Bollman dissolved the tie by voting
for continuance. The board will, there
fore. farther consider the matter this eve
ming and it is likely that g result Of some
kind will be reached.
