While this talk was In progress Shan.
10y knocked at the door and asked II ho
could come In. Mr.. Jefferson thought
1t would be better not to have him In,
but several other members insisted on
his being admitted, and he was brought
in. He sat OH one arm OF big chair
and tho chief on another.
THERE WAS AN APPEAL.
About this time the chairman in.
formed the chief and those members
who were not on the inside OF tho mat
ter that Stanley had presented u writ
ten appeal 10 tho committee, and this
appeal was read. It alleged that tho re.
moval was stated by tho chief to DO
made for failure to arrest saloon keep.
ers for violation OF the Sunday laws, for
failing to work in the personal interest
Of tho chief, and for ono or two other
charges.
Mr.. Warncko asked II tho removal

Tho chicf-"I did. not"
Mr.. 0'Kane-"Did you ever instruct

The Chiei-"No, l never did. The

That was an unfortunate circumstance,
and II it had not been for this dirty

The Chair-"I don't know that that

The chief still tried to explain, but

shanlcy--"They arc the charges you
told me-"
The Chief-"I did not tell you any
thing ofthe kind"
shunley--"You told me-" At this
point order was ordered.
Mr.. JeiIerson-"Captain, did you ever
tell your men not to drink or to 20 into
saloon with the uniforms on and when
on duty"
Tho chiei-"I did. I told them all
that if caught them drinking | would
discharge the offender, l did not care

Shanley-"Nr.J Jefferson, would like
to ask you 4 question: Is the chief al

Mr.. Jeilerson-''I do not know OF any
charges here against the chief"
The chicf-"Oh, Pm willing to stand
up against you in the opinion Of the
community as men. Pm not afraid OF
any comparison"
Chief McNichol was here excused.
Stanley said he did not know what the
chief might have said before he came
in; he would like to know.
Mr.. Jefferson undertook to tell him
what had been said, but was interrupt
ed. The first remark was about the
Dixon case, as to which Mr.. Ukane
said that he thought that ii he EN-
ployed man. and while he was not on
duty for him he had little squabble
with somebody, that was none OF his
: employers business. y
Mr.. Jefferson thought ii he had
street brawl it was certainly an indica-
ton ii he was or was not fit man to
be policeman.
As to the hoffman, case Stanley
said: "You may call him here, and il
lowe him 4 cent will bite my hand
of"
Mr.. Zarnitz gave Shanleya great send
of as policeman He said he did take
his drink, like all the policemen.
AIR. Jefferson read the rule about po-
licemen going into a saloon in uniform
or while on duty.
Stanley said he did visit saloons. to
locate the tough crowds in the ward
lie had explained this to the chief, and
told him that was the way he kept such
good order in the ward The chief
wou!dn'thave it that way.
Mr.. Okane asked Mr.. Zarnitz what
kind OF order there was in that ward
now, and Mr.. Zarnitz said it was as good
rs 1t ever was.
cELIE MAREs's CASE.
AT this juncture Stanley was excused
and Cello Marks was called in. Messrs.
Jefferson and Marsh took occasion to
say that they had not heard Of Mr..
Marks's grievance before 1t is well to
record right here that after the meeting
Marks told an 1NTELLIGENcER reporter
that he had no idea OF coming before
the committee till Mr.. Zarnitz had
called on him yesterday and asked
him to.
Marks told the committee that he had
been discharged uniustly and misrep-
resented in the newspapers. He told
the same story which was printed in
the lNTELLlGENcEn yesterday, except his
quotation OF what McNichol said to him
was different He said he only vent
into saloon 10 buy whisky for his sick
wifc. The Chief he said, had never told
him not to drink. Afterwards McNichol
was recalled, and he said Marks was q
burIesquc as q policeman, and'gave rea-
sons for this view. He told OF his be-
ing drunk, and loafing in saloons, and
said he had resigned. This settled this
case, and the committee concluded that
it had no jurisdiction in his case.
Unfortunately Marks is a Republican.
What followed was largely repetition.
The chief said: II tell you plainly,
gentlemen, SO long as I am chief OF
police, il saloon keepers sell on Sunday
they will be arrested" He admitted
that he should have suspended and re.
ported STANLEY instead Of discharging
him. This was 8 mistake, he said.
There was some moro desultory talk,
and then Mr.. Zarnitz moved to rein.
