REEDS ACCOMPLICE.
Henry Yann, Mixed Up in the Murder of
Barker, Arrested.

Harry Vann was arrested yesterday aft
ernoon at the home of his mother. No. Y
Malott avenue by officer Nicholson, on a
charge of lettering. He was afterwards re-
leased on bond, with his mother as surety.
The arrest of Vann is due to the fact that
he was with Billy Reed the night the latter
killed Samuel Barker, the special officer at
Maennerchor Hall. Vann was merely ar
rested in order that he might be had when
ne was wanted a witness in case the
police succeed in apprehending Reed.
After the arrest Vann made a statement
to Superintendent Colbert, in which he said
that he and Reed had been TO a dance in
the East End the night Barker was killed.
After the dance they went home with a
couple of young ladies. Vann says that
Reed then wanted TO come down town,
and he Wann) yielded to the request, and
came down town with him. Reed sug-
gested that they go to Maennerchor Hall,
and Vann says he objected to that. but aft
erwards yielded. When Barker took them
down stairs Vann says Reed remarked that
he did not intend TO let that gray-haired
get him that way. He admitted that
he first threw the stone and missed Barker.
Reed then threw it with fatal effect. After
the stone was thrown Reed ran Vann says
the statement that he himself ran is un-
true. On the contrary, he says, he helped
carry Barker upstairs and did all he
could to assist in reviving him.

HAS BEEN IGNORED
Provision of the Charter the New
Administration Will Enforce.
Civil-Service Rules for the Departments
New Controller i'm 0ffice-'Dea-
con- Fitchey's Hard Job.

The charter OF the city provides that the
Mayor shall hold meetings of the heads Of
his departments at least once a month to
consult about the welfare of the city and
to devise a system for the appointment and
promotion of employees. Mayor Sullivan
held these cabinet meetings, but If any
record of them kept the public has
never heard Of it. The law provides that
records shall be kept of these meetings.
but the newspaper men have never been
given access to such records. if any were
ever kept Mayor Denny said yesterday no
records Of this kind were turned over to
him. and the presumption : that Mayor
Sullivan violated the provisions Of the char
ter, which Is as follows:
1T is the duty of the Mayor to call
together the heads of departments, except
of assessment and collection. for consuta-
ton and advice upon the affairs of the city
at least once a month, and to call upon
the heads of all departments for reports
upon the same, which il shall be heir duty
to prepare and submit in writing. Records
shall be kept of such meetings above pro-
vfded for and rules and regulations snail
be adopted thereat for the administration
OF the affairs of the city departments not
inconsistent with any law or ordinance.
which regulations shall prescribe Sys-
tematic method of ascertaining the compar-
ative fitness of applicants for office. posi-
ton and promotion and of selecting and
appointing and promoting those found to
be best fitted. except in the department of
Public Safety without regard to political
opinion or services"
This is found in Section 45, defining the
duties Of the Mayor. Times without num-
ber the Journal called the attention of
Mayor Sullivan to this provision of the law.
and particularly to that clause requiring
the formation of civil-service rules to gov
ern appointments and promotions in the
various departments, but the law was per-
sstently ignored and violated.
81 have had that provision In mind" said
Mr.. Denny yesterday when Journal re-
porter called his attention to Ii. Laws are
put upon the statute books for the purpose
of being enforced, ard / do not regard this
one as any exception. As soon as L have
selected my heads of departments and they
have their first Getting, 1 shall call their
attention to this provision"

NORMAL SCHOOL BUILDING.
State Treasury Is Not Embarrassed
Remainder Not Due.

The meeting of the trustees of the State
Normal School adjourned yesterday MORN
ing Immediately after the body enlightened
themselves on a grievous error in which
they involved the press yesterday. 1t was
stated that the State owed on the improve
ments made during the past summer the
sum of $1,000, and further that the Auditor
had been unable to draw warrants for the
amount. The statement, it appears, created
the impression that the State is financially
embarrassed which is wholly incorrect.
The State Is in excellent condition fnan-
cially and the Auditor is prepared to meet
all the necessary expenses of the year. A
few weeks ago Mr. Tanning, deputy Audi
tor of State, sent Treasurer Mckeen, OF
the Normal S. 000 which concluded the
payment of $4,000. half of the amount ap-
propriated by the last Legislature. The re-
mainder does not fall due until next year.
Through some confusion Ii seems that the
trustees were not aware that the money
had been paid TO the treasurer, hence the
unwarraated statement.
