The stated meeting of the Police Com
missioners was called to order at o'clock
p. NJ. yesterday with Mayor Workman in
the chair and Chief Cuddy and President
of the Council Humphreys present.
There was little of important business
transacted, but ray OF sensational sum
shine flooded for a few brief moments
the dullness of the proceedings.
The deliberations of the Commission
opened with the licensing and otherwise
of saloons. The Schooner Saloon, !"
1879 West Third Street, had been COM
planned of, but its proprietor Reiber was
allowed month longer time to show
that his place was such as it should be.
The revocation of the license of f. H.
Oeding, corner of Wilmington and jack
son streets, was rescinded. George La
Cour was allowed to change his business
from Sanchez and Arcadia streets to
8 Also street. The license of
the saloon at A Alameda street was re-
voked, it being adjudged that it was a
disreputable place and frequented by
women and children upon "working the
growler" intent by night and by day.
The application of 7. w. Roe to be ap-
pointed special policeman on Boyle
Heights was referred to the Chief.
Chief Cuddy reported that Officer Nc
Grath had been relieved of his star per-
been suspended for mauling his brother
officer Lenox. The later case was held
over for investigation to the next meet
ing OF the Board and the belligerent pave
FOUNDER is out a weeks pay. Comocy
holds that he. didn't mean to punch
Lenox. In regard to the discharge of Nc
Grath, both the Mayor and Mr.. Hum
phreys stated that McGrath did not lose
his position because of the Chinese mat
ter, as the Commission sometime previous
to that had decided that he was
the wrong man in the right place, with
lots of charges as to his official conduct,
and that his resignation was to be called
for. The Chinese affair simply precipi-
tated the matter.
At this point the grave doings of the
Commissions was somewhat "rattled"
as the Mayor slowly read voluminous
charges against Officer Bosqui as follows:
Miss Aggie Lee, being duly sworn,
says: That about year ago on Alameda
street, in said city, w. A. Bosqui, po-
lice officer of said city, was in the habit
of taking liberties with the person of affi-
ant, and the said Bosqui then and there
often urged this affiant to swear that her
husband. William Abbott, had put her
on the town, which, being untrue, she
declined to do. That the said Bosqui
offered to procure divorce for this affi-
ant and to pay the costs himself. That
while she was rustling for custom said
officer told her to 60 ahead, and often
asked and inquired of her if she was
making money, or doing we'll.
Officer Bosqui has arrested affiant two
or three times, and when she was living
with her said husband. When she was
living away from her said husband said
Bosqui although he knew she was plying
her vocation publicly, never disturbed or
arrested her.
That few days before the recent ar
rest of William Abbott said Bosuui told
affiant that he was going to "pull" said
Abbott because he did not like him.

Maggie Johnson, being first duly sworn,
says: That about year ago she was ar
rested upon charge of visiting an opium
joint, land was confined under said charge
in the City Prison for about six days !;
that during her same imprisonment Off
Ger w. A. Bosqui came to this affiant and
proposed that if she would submit her
person to him while she was there, a
prisoner, he would get her out upon a
nominal fine of $40; and that if she would
go off the streets he would keep
her as q mistress, She prom
ised to comply with his wishes,
and whereupon he secured her dis
charge, as she is informed and believes
at a cost of $40 only; that during her
said imprisonment, Officer Bosqui fire.
quently took liberties with the person of
this affiant, which she submitted to un-
der promise to secure her release.
