colleagues, and said that he thought they
all went off half-cocked in coming down
in body to the Police Station week
ago and trying 70 oust Burns out in the
manner in which they did.
MIR. Knox offered a motion to the
effect that Mr.. Glass be informed by the
board that Emil Harris and @. IL. Jen-
nings were removed from the force at
the last regular meeting Of the Board OF
Police Commissioners; that Patrolmen
Fay and Vignes were restored to duty,
pending investigation of the charges pre-
ferred against them; that ]. Del Vale,
V. L. Sanchez, L. q. Loomis and M. X.
Higgins were appointed to fill the vacan-
cies then existing. and that W. A. Bos-
qui was appointed as a special police
man.
Mayor Hazard suggested that the or
dinance providing for the appointment
OF specials had been repealed, but Mr..
Knox replied that one special was al
lowed, and that Chief Burns had en-
ployed one.
The Mayor then inquired whether
there were any reasons for the removal
of Emil Harris or Charles FL. Jennings,
or if any grounds existed on account of
their acts while in office that would jus
tify their removal. Mr.. Knox replied
that he knew them to be improper per-
sons to hold office, and that there were
reasons which, however, he was not pre-
pared to make public; whereupon Mayor
Hazard entered another protest, and in
sisted upon the calling of the roll. This
being done, his was the only negative
vote, and the motion was carried.
The application of Sam Deban for a
transfer of the license from Hans Foster
was granted, and the board then lad
journed until Wednesday next.

in the evening, II intend to carry out

accordance with the law and with the
best interests of the city at heart. 1

The office and all the property per-
tanning thereto was formally handed over
to the new Chief during the afternoon by
Mr.. Biles, who took a receipt therefor,
and Mr. Glass assumed the control of the
department.
Chief Glass addressed the men as
they went out upon their night watch
at O'Clock last night.
