enness and conduct unbecoming an officer.

in the room at the time, fed from the en-.
ragged officers presence. He feared that
the drunken officer would shoot him.
Virtue was allowed TO make a statement
and said he had been drinking before

night and arrested one person. He did
not know that he nude any threats, he
said, and it was the first time any charges
had been preferred against him. Several

for eight years a member of the police
force.
On motion of Commissioner Pyle, Virtue
was dismissed from the force.

the board with petition signed by several
hundred Italians asking the reappoint-
ment of Officer Carmen Di Mare to the

way identified by the comrades of the
dead man, though of course the features
and form are now unrecognizable.
Freeman only entered the Worlds
Fair fire department a few weeks ago,
and was comparative stranger hare,
He was for many years chief fire mar
shal of Springfield, Ill, but recently
lost his position there on a change Of ad-

MASSEY HURLS A BOMBSHELL
Into the Camp of the Fair
Sunday Openers.
SOME VERY PERTINENT QUERIES
He Defends the Council of
Administration.
Better Discharge the Director-6eneral
aud the Council, He Claims, Than Need
lessly Embarrass and Antngonize Them
ellis Vigorous Outbreak Brings the
Answer.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 11.-Commis.
sioner George V. Massey of Delaware
threw bomhshell into the camp of his
enemies at the afternoon session of the
national commission. The Sunday open
ing question was resurrected as special
order.
Mr.. Hundley's resolution that the
question had never been finally and
legally passed upon by the commission,
and that the gates were being kept
open in defiance of the joint rule
adopted last year, was not strong
enough for Commissioner Ramsey OF
South Dakota.
He wanted one passed to instruct the
director-general to enforce the Sunday
opening rule and send him a certified
copy of the commissions action in the
premises.
Then Mr., Massey unburdened himself.
He said: why do you not certify this
action to the director-general and coun-
Gil of administration and see if they will
act before you insult them by directing
them to actp l think there will soon
be settlement of this Sunday question
satisfactory TO you and to me. But you
embarrass the council and antagonize
the directors until l now fear there is
little possibility of anything being ac-
complisheds If everything the council
does or passes upon is to be treated with
distrust, can your members of it remain
with dignity and self-respect? You
have the authority at any time to dis.
solve the council. II is of your own
creation; why not exercise itP Why not
discharge us instead of treating us with
continual distrust and disrespect?"
The commissioners were taken by sur
prise and fastened to pacify Commits
sioner Massey for fear he would resign
on the spot and break the compact with
the directors. The commission then
passed a mllder resolution in regard to
Sunday opening.

were arraigned before Judge Ball, Thursday
morning, charged with resisting an officer.
The complainant was Officer Welch, who
said that Turner told him he would get
what officer Shultz got, if he persisted in
his crusade against prisoners. officer
S!iultz was murdered on Elliott avenue, in
the Ninth ward, two years ago, and the
police think the remark OF Turner may in
some way yet lead to the murderer arrest.
The statement credited to Turner is denied
by Turner and his friends. The testimony
OF Officer Welch was that the remark was
made by some one in the crowd at the
time, but he did not say that il was made
by Turner.
