District Messengers viii Present

The subject of strike was pretty well
discussed among the messenger boys yes.

are paid cents message. and desire in
stead to be paid by the day at the rate OF
IS cents.
A meeting was called for - o'clock las
night in Lick alley. but afterward this
order was countermanded, and the boys
discussed the strike over their coffee al
the little restaurants which they frequent.
The postponed meeting of last night Will
be held early this morning. and then IN all
probability a delegation will be selectedsto
wait upon Superintendent Weihe to pre-
sent their grievance and their ultimatum.

pany are arranged in watches. There are

geant he would expect him to come to see
him. and Robinson told the Chief about
it,"
This seemed as plain as day when 1t was
remembered that during all the inyestiga-
ton Robinson has been closely consulted
by the Chief and the Commissioners. He
is among the few who have been arraigned
by brother officers and yet has not fallen
under the suspicion of the board.
The only one of the crowd of suspects
who found courage enough 20 brave the
ordeal in the Commissioners quarters was
Sergeant W. i. Coles, who sauntered into
the waiting-room smoking cigar and ap-
parently as unconcerned as any ordinary
spectator there.
Coles was Immediately pounced upon by
some of his adherents, who sympathiZed
with him in anticipation of the calamity
so soon to come. But the sergeant pro-
fessed entire ignorance of anything serious
being connected with his name.
my conscience is clear" he said, $50
why should l fear anything? [ never did
a wrong action to any one in my life. nor
did / ever neglect my duty in any way
whatsoever. There is lot single man on
"But am not ignorant that my name
has been mentioned in connection with
these alleged disclosures. l know who is
responsible for it all, and l shall say more
if l find my name ON the black list. Mean
while, have been on the force now twenty
years, and there is not man who has done
his duty better than | have.
"Hearing what have heard about all
that Robinson has said of me, l have
! drawn up statement and have sent it in
to the Police Commissioners. / suppose
they are discussing my case at the present
m ment, but all can say is, that if they
give me a square deal shall report on fol-
duty as usual tonight"
The suspense came to an end at last.
Sergeant Moran having been called back
into the room it was generally conceded
that the executive session was over. II
was just a minute or so past 10 o'clock
when the door few open and Commits
sioner D. M. Burns made his exit The
other Commissioners escaped by a back
door.
Sergeant McKenna held the door halt
open and the privileged few were admitted
to the room. where Chief Crowley sat
alone. Before him on the table lay a
paper on which the proceedings of the
evening had been written out. The Chief
looked tired and worried. but with his
usual courtesy he proceeded to explain
why fourteen able members of the force
had lost their heads in one single night
without the privilege of being able to say
word In their own defense.
"The best explanation l can give you,"
said the Chief. sis that these men were
dismissed from the force as the others
were at the last meetiDg-for cause. We
simply had no further use for their SER
vices. Perhaps when l give you their
separate details for the past few years you
will comprehend why we have found il
necessary to take this step.

Sergeant Charles William, whose con-
nection with thu force dates from May 1.
1873 has been stationed in the district
around the Southern station. He has had
charge of the Market and Third streets
faro games, bunko business and other un-
lawful carryings-on that We have been so
much troubled with.
Sergeant Josiah Johns. appointed August
-, 1887. was in command OF the Chinatown
squadron for some time.
Sergeant w. l.. Coles, appointed Febru-
airy 10, 1874, was stationed at the Southern
station and had command of the district
where the faro games have been carried on.
Detectives C. C. Cox and ". Glennon
have been stationed in Chinatown for a
long while. Every one knows all about
them. Cox was appointed February 10.
1874. and Glennon on November ". 1881. "
Glennon's name being Cd the list was al
this juncture mentioned as surprise to
all who knew him. He had been consid-
cred o good and efficient officer.
YES" asserted Chief Crowley, mo one
is more sorry than to part with Glennon.
He was a personal friend OF my own and
of my family. and l put him where he
was. But, unfortunately, the evidence
against him was only too conclusive.
These iniquities have been in constant
practice in Chinatown for a very long
time, and if men will not do their duty
they must suffer for it.
Now as to the patrolmen: Henry
Newman. appointed July %. 1886. was on
special duty to look after the Market
street faro games.
Jerry Mccarthy, on the force since
May 9, 1888, was on the Fourth-street beat.

POLICEMAN'S MISTAKE.
He Arrested a Dead Man Thinking
He Was Drunk.

There was surprise in store for Police
man Greenan last night which made him
nearly faint While patrolling Eighteenth
and Stevenson streets some boys called
his attention to butchers horse and
wagon. The owner was lying in the bot
tom of the wagon with the reins clutcbed
in his hands. and Greenan. thinking the
man was stupidity drunk, took the relns
out of his hands and drove to the Seven
teenth-Street station.
When he pulled up at the station ne pro-
cured the assistance of the officer on duty
and dragged the man out OF the wagon and
carried him into the station.
This man is dead drunk" said Grenan
to Sergeant Burke as he propped him up
against the desk and held him there.
The sergeant looked at the man and
recognized him as j. Hamerslagh. a
butcher who lived off the Mission road
between the Five and Six Mile House.
They could not get an answer out OF the
man, and the sergeant stepped around and
took hold of him.
"Why, this man Is dead" said the SER
geant, and Greenan nearly tainted. The
body was quite cold. and Hamerslagh had
evidently dropped dead while driving his
horse home.
The Coroner was promptly notified and
the body was removed TO the Morgue.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
L. r. Stablein, Stranger From
Missouri, is Tired of Life.

L. K. Stablein came to this city from
KirksviIIe, Mo-, about two weeks ago and
up to Saturday night had been stopping al
the Arlington Hotel, Kearny street, with
j. Ii. Rhodes. the agent for garden Guilt
vator. st bein had been negotiating with
Rhodes to purchase his interest in the i'm
plement for $500. and was waiting till the
money arrived from Missouri to close the
trade.
On Saturday night Hugh Lyman, friend
of Stablein, got him advised to take a
room at GAG Howard streel, where he and
his brother had rooms. Stablein had been
respondent at the noD-arrival of the $500,
and on Sunday night he told Lyman that
If anything happened him he was to write
to his wife at Kirksvile. Mo.
Stablein did not make his appearance
yesterday morning and when the door of
his room was forced open he was found in
bed in an unconscious condition with the
room full of gas. he was taken TO the Re
ceIving Hospital, where the usual restora-
tives were applied. The doctors think he
will recover. 1t is supposed that he at
tempted to commit suicide through de-
spOndency.

Glennon had stated, in discussing the
upheaval in the department. that he was
not in the least concerned. II know" said
he, shat am not involved. because have
never received cent since have been On
the force, and | know the Chief will not
job me. He will never break man unless
he has conclusive proof of his guilt. and
feel perfectly SAFE"
1t is generally believed that Glennon
was telling the tru when he declared his
innocence of actual corruption, but he
made mistake in defining the lines of his
duty to include only overt acts. The Po-
lice Commission by its action has decided
that men must be not only innocent
of crOokedness themselves but that
they will be expected to stop bribery
wherever and whenever they discover it.
This was Glennon's error. He had been
in Chinatown for too many years not 10
have known of the stealing that was going
on around him. He did dot inform Chief
Crowley of what he musthav known. and
who besides being his trusted subordinate
was his close intimate friend.
Sergeants Witham and Johns were gen.
orally believed to be on the list and they
were expected to make their appearance
somewhere around the hall, but they were
conspicuously absent.
Sergeant Robinson stayed discreetly
away. The theory first advanced by THE
CALL that Robinson was the cause of the
exposure of Hall, and incidentally of the
entire investigation, has been generally
accepted as true. From many sources re-
marks were heard that Robinson was at
the bottom of it all, and the line of reason
ing which led to this conclusion was ex-
actly that which was given in these
columns.

poses. The girls, Belle Griffin and Lille

County Commissioners Meeting.

The regular quarterly meeting of the
Board of County Com missioner was bel
on Monday, and, aside from routine
business, but little was done.
1t was decided by tho Board to build
a Jail in DeLamar as soon as proper
site could be secured, and bids will be
advertised for for the construction of
building 1920, with two inch plank
floor, ceiling and walls, with steel cage,
the building to be weatherboarded and
painted.
Mr. Fred Morrison, the Com m ssiouer
from Brunssu district, was delegated to
look into the condition OF the Bruneau
bridge and authorized to take imme.
date steps to save that structure from
further damage and to report what re-
pairs would be required.
The matter Of grayeling the street in
DeLamar was not acted upon because
no petition from the citizens asking the
Board to make an appropriation for
that purpose was presented. This mat
ter should be attended to and petition
presented at the next meeting.
A petition praying for the construct
ion of short piece of road to evade the
adobe near the Democrats on Reynolds
creek was laid over until the Com mis-
sioners could look oyer the ground and
decide upon the practicability of, and
cost of building the road.
In the matter of bonding the county
