Officers Appointed.

The troublesome Msrkwalder petition
for a saloon license at 146 North Spring
street. which was granted by the police
commission q week ago, was yesterday
revoked by that body. A large number
OF business men on Spring street, be-
tween First and Temple, were present to
see what action would be taken, as the
matter had been postponed from week
ago. The protest against the opening Of
another saloon on that street was signed
by many merchants and property own
ere, who were moro than pleased when
the commission rescindsd the work Of q
former day. Every one of the commits
sioners voted to revoke the license. and
they all thought it was the best way out
OF the matter. despite the mayors inti-
nation that @ lawsuit would likely res
ault.
When Commissioner Arnold. with
Commissioner Bosbyshell, reported on
the application OF j. w. Henley for a
saloon license ct the northwest oerner
of Main and Siohel streets, S. q. Lehmer
appeared before the board and protested
vigorously against the granting of the
license, on account of the locality being
thickly settled and because of school
house near by. Despite the fact that
the applicant had more than the res
quired two-thirds frontage. Mr.. Bosby-
shell moved that the application be de-
MED. This motion nearly knocked bis
colleague, Arnold, off his feet, for the
latter thought all along that Bosbyshell
was with him, as he was one Of the in
veBtigating committee. Mr.. BoBby-
ehell's motion met with no second, and
the matter was postponed until Tuesday
next.
A number of cclored citizens, on be-
half of Dick Brown, bill poster, sent
in @ complaint stating that the officers
OF the police department. had perse-
cuted him by arresting him for follow
ing his business, for which he always
had regular city license. The COM
plaint alleged that Officer Davis falsely
arrested him last June, and that ever
since he has been prosecuted and ar
rested time after time. He accused the
police authorities of allowing others,
including many real estate men, to 60
without arrest for the same bill distrib-
uting, whilst he was always arrested.
He went so far as to swear that Officer
/ Matuszkiewiz had said, when referring
to Brown, that "no id nigger should
hang up bills on his beat"
Chief Glass made a statement in re-
gard to the matter, saying the police
made no attempt to persecute the man,
and thought that Brown made himself
liable to arrest On account of his eocen-
trio turn of mind. The complaint was
filed.
Chief Glass called the attention of the
com mission to the poiioe relief aud pen.
sion fund, which matter had been re-
ferred to him from last week. The par.
ticular point in discussion was whether
the special officers should pay the same
rate, So month, into the fund, as the
regular officers. AS the ordinance ID
now, ahd If the So is collected from all
police officers to go into the fund, the
widow OF any officer who might be
killed could collect $1,000 from the city,
as provided by law. To regulate the
matter, a committee consisting of Mayor
Rowan, Commissioner Bradish and Chiei
Glass, was appointed to confer with the
city attorney to draft an ordinsnce to
cover the desired points.
Thomas MCKINLEY and W. P. Meyers,
Frank Hutchings. James Chambers and
Charles Winchell were appointed spe-
cial police officers in connection with
their duties in the various parks. They
are subject to duty when called upon
by the chief, and shall serve without
pay.
Officer Scott Reynolds was granted q
six days leave of absence, beginning
| November 25th. Chief Glass recon-
mended the leave be granted because
the officer is going to get married.
The transfer OF saloon license of Frank
Gresia &C $50 Buena Vista street was
| granted.
Lonengan & Lawrence, owners OF the
New York kitchen, were granted res.
taurant liquor license.
The application OF D. T. Ames was
withdrawn. He wanted q restaurant
license at San Pedro and Twenty.third
streets. and the residents of that portion
of the city protested vigorously on ac-
count of the rumors that an immoral
place was to have been made of it.
| The petition OF Julius Woltsr of 12S
| South Main street to be allowed to erec,
clock sign, was sent back without
action. The commission thought al
sign posts of that character should have
light on them.
A. b. Rosnin, J. V. Bradley and ]. E.
Fontaine made application for appoint
ment on the force. The applications
were filed.
The application OF Joseph Pickenbac
for transfer of license at 237 East Seventt
street; the application for transfer O.
