BEFORE THE TRIAL BOARD.
Lieut.. GessfOrd Makes Charges
Against Sergt. Daley.

The Gessford-Daley trouble has again
broken out and the police trial board was
called upon today to make an investigation
Of charges preferred against Sergt. Daley
by Lieut.. Gessford. This Is only another
outbreak of the trouble which started just
after Cleveland's Inauguration. when Lieut..
of charges made against him by Sergt.
Daley. Following the first hearing there
was feeling between the officers, which.
1t is thought seriously impaired the eff
cheney Of the force. In the present case the
sergeant is charged with seeking public
notoriety through the press, in that he cir
culated an alleged false and disrespectful
story concerning the lieutenant, to the eff
feet. that he (the lieutenanD was in month
ly receipt of a bride and that he shielded
"A lottery scheme.
The cause of this charge being preferred
was the publication of what purported to
be an interview with the accused officer
concerning an alleged lottery scheme on
9TH street, In the eighth precinct.
Sergt. Daley, when asked by a Star re-
porter concerning the case, denied that he
had ever made use of the language re-
ported in the published interview.
Policeman ]. ID. Sutton of the first pre-
cinct was also before the board. This time,
as on former occasion, Samuel Gassen-
heimer appeared as the prosecuting wit
hess and charged that the officer figured
in disgraceful controversy with a woman
officer Sutton has had occasion to prose-
cute Gassenheimer several times, and now
the latter, he thinks, is trying to get even
with him.
There was another hearing before the
star chamber committee, but there was
nothing interesting in the case, except to
the officer charged. Policeman Devine who
was recently appointed a member of the
force, is also in trouble. He mas been on

IT is alleged that he was found intoxicated
on the street and Sergt. HARRISON sus-
pended him from duty when a brother OIL
Ger brought him to the eighth precinct
station.
The Anti-saloon League will probably
take an important part in the matter of
forcing policemen to prosecute Illegal sell
ers of liquor. A meeting of the league will
be held Friday, when the matter will be
fully discussed and some action taken.

THE BIG HAT DISAPPEARING.
Evidences That the Reform is Gain
ing Ground.

The reform of the tall hat grievance has
made such wonderful strides the past week
that there is not a shadow of doubt but
that in a short time people will wonder II
1t was ever possible that any one could
have been so thoughtless of the rights and
comfort of their fellowman and woman as
to wear such headgear at the theater. 1t
has been noticed particularly the last three
or four nights at the different theaters
that small bonnets were almost universally
worn, or else the headgear, whether it was
great or small, was removed. Here and
there there Is still big hat seen in the
audiences, but the inference is drawn that
the owner thereof has not seen the new
fashion plates of evening styles, or Is prob
ably wearing a last years hat Society has
taken a hand in the matter, and 1t is con-
sidered a lack of good form, the thing which
in these Ia tier days means good breeding
also, sometimes as well as indicating scare
ity OF suitable headgear for one of the fair
sex to appear in anything but an evening
bonnet at theater or concert, except when
she ordains, no head covering Mt all is
needed. The ladies who have grown a lit
tie defiant, and very reasonably so, over
the men going out between acts. should
have seen the spectacle presented at a
theater here Saturday night. 1t was big
hat mother and a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
out son, and the combination, which was a
very natural one after all, really looked as
II, forgiven that time, IL would not offend
again. The comments they heard around
them were not pleasant.

day afternoon as the result OF an
appeal to the president by J. W. Hayes,
general secretary and treasurer oS the
knights of labor and c. a. French

ecutive board of that organization.
Provision for such a step is found IN

president will appoint them Friday.
As soon as named the board will pro-
