BloWs-McDonough's

Commissioners was very brief last night.
but it was long enough for a small sen
satfon. A resolution was introduced by
Commissioners Utz, reconsiderinR the ac
ton of the previous Commissioners, de-
failing Sergeant Maurice Stack TO duty
at the Prosecutors Office. II Slack
J doesn't appear for duty Within fivs days
he will be dropped from the Department
roll.
Commissioner Hayden then got a shot
at his opponents i'll the board by attack
ing the system inaugurated by Mayor
Pagan relative to prisoners from foreign
] ships landing In the city. Mayor Pagan
and his trie dis colleagues IN the ooard
decided that prisoners when arrested
should be arraigued before the Recorder
and sent to the County jail.
MR. HAYDEN'S SHOT.
Hayden'S resolution was as foilows:--
whereas, The several lines OF foreign steamers
that have docks on our shore front bear u large
Blu rden of taxes and are entitled to protection;
| they also employ a great number OF men who
| are des irable residents of our city,to whom they
pay a vast amount Of money IN wages weekly;
and
Whereas. A system which has existed of de-
tanning in the station house sailors and other
employees of the ship who have committed q
breach of the peace, on the "nlgh seas, ana
have not violated the laws of the United States,
has recently been terminated without the sane
ton of this board, and as a result the steamship
companies are unnecessarily annoyed, nicer
fered with and imposed upon, and are deprived
Of q privilege that exists in all foreign ports. AS
a consequence the companies are compelled TO
again submit to illegal ciiarges Tor detention,
an extortion which was .practised prior to tue
| operation of the system of coafiaing the prlsoa-
| ers in the station house; therefore
Resolved, That the Chief or Police be directed
| f0 pnt jfy all Officary of tn6 Police Department TO
hereafter incarcerate and detain, subject to the
order of the ship, and sailor or other empioye
of O ship apprehended for an offenSe committed
| on the high seas and whom the authorities OF
the ship desire to return TO the port OF embarka-
ton: and
to have kept a complete record, containing data
as to the name of the prisoner, the officer MAX
ing the arrest, the date of the arrest, the name
of the ship, the number of hours the prisoner Is
detained, and the number of meals furnished
each prisoner; and bs it further
Resolved, That the cost for subsist ence of the
prisoner shall be the only charge levied against
the ship.

mittee on Finance and Salaries. Lust

The reading of this created quite a stir.
Pagan wanted TO know now long Haydeu
was in the board, and upon being an
| swered one year, asked why he had not
complained before. The Commissioner
said the matter had never BEEN brought
to his attention before. Mr.. Utz said ne
never heard of the matter before.
Hayden hotly answered, You did"
Utz-"' Tis a falsehood,o
Hayden-"You know all about this"
Utz-"Mav be you nave been posted by
your brother-in-law;" meaning Sherln
Stanton.
Hayden-"My brother-in-law IS a gen.
t1eman. / am not telling any falsehood
when Isay you know all about this"
Mayor Pagan obtained order. and then
appointed Commissioners UtZ, Smith and
| Covle to investigate the matter.
M'DoNoUGH
Recorder McDouough Was greatly put
out this morning when shown copies OF
the bill Commissioner HAYDEN presented
at the ms citing of the Police Commission
ers last night. He said it was auotner
cowardiy attack of Stanton's, who does
everything of this kind because because
he has the Prosecutors office to shield
him. These bills were rendered and
snever objected to. At the time the bill in
question WAS presented and the money
collected Mayor Stanton raised a fuss
acout it aud the money was returned 20
the ships agents. Mayor Stanton knew
this and so did the man who presented it
last night.
