The white winged dove Of peace lowered
around the Police Commission when It
met ia regular session last evening. Mr.
Lawson did not wear his teeth protee-
tors. Mayor Wiley had left his two
ounce gloves at nome and Commissioner
Jester forgot TO bring the ropes, bottles
and sponges Under these circumstances
the battle had to be declared of, and
Ohisf Of Police Blackburn, who was
present when Mayor Wiley threatened
to spoil the worries of Mr. Lawson, looked
relieved.
The report of Police Surgeon Baird was
read. IL showed that during December
he had thirty three public patients. OF
this number thirty one were men, two
women; thirty.one white, two black
twenty medical cases, thirty-one surgical
cases; twenty-one police officers and
twelve others One Of his patients was
sent to the Homeopathic Hospital and
two TO Fsrnhurst
A number Of bills were approved and
ordered to be sent to City Council
Among them was feed bill. amounting
to S6l OF.
Mr. Jester said that it would take 300
off the value Of each horse TO drive over
tho rough pavement of King street, TO
deposit prisoners at the rear gate Of the
City Hall.
Mayor Wiley. who Is almost always
sitting on the sharp point Of a moral
tack, said that he thought, from a moral
standpoint, the prisoners should march
ia from King street Notwithstanding
this, he did not object 70 ordinary DRINKS
being brought ia by the Market street
entrance.
Mr.. Lawson made q suggestion that
the matter be left to the discretion OF
the patrol officer. His suggestion was
agreed to by the other commissioners and
hereafter Commissioner Jester will
probably see that the officers discretion
selects the Market street entrance.
Mr. Lawson called the attention OF the
board to an obstruction left in the bed
OF Ninth street, between Market and
shipley streets. by the Equitable Build
ing contractor and Chief Blackburn was
instructed to look into the matter
The commissioners instructed the
chisf of police to investigate the charges
Of drunkenness and disorderly conduct
made by Dennis Lucey at Fifth and Tat
nall streets against Officer Darrell also
the failure Of Officer Carpenter to report
from his booth at the proper time. These
charges will be acted upon by the com
mission in special session.
The new rules were then taken into
consideration. The 6sst rule considered
was one governing parades The first
part provides that parade must not OBJ
strnct street car traffic by occupying The

When this WAS read Messrs Lawson
and Jester thought that it would inter
tere with fremans parades, aud IL was
not adopted. The second part of this
rule provided that no paradss except
