tendent of public schools, referred to the police
department by the Commissioners. The Com

was based, and a denial that any of the detec-
tives had been employed as represented in the
publication. This statement, it is said was ac-
companied by letter from Detective Block,
denying that he had been detailed in the case
stating that such an investigation would have
been unbecoming TO him as an officer, and ask
ing for an official investigation of his conduct.

vestigated.

quiry being made on the alleged ways and man
ners of Superintendent ]. o. Wilson. They have

Mg given directions to any of his detective

Detective Block himself, who has been
ing received any instructions to investigate or
that he had ever stated to any one that he was
thus engaged; and that Commissioner West had
received personal note from Mr.. Hudson,
ton had been made to him, which had led to
the publication of the statements in his paper
of last Sunday. Mr.. West does not deny that
