OWNER BUT NOT WATCHEQ.

Charles Devailinger States That He
Aims to Conduct His Place Correctly
But Doesn't Know All His Bartender
Does.
Charles Devallinger, who owns the
saloon at Front aud Market streets,
called at the Office OF the EVENING
JOURNAL yesterday and made the follow
ing statement:
"Tns unfortunate occurrence Of Thurs
day afternoon, which brought into very
painful prominence my place at Front
aud Market streets, was one OF those
which is liable 10 occur to any place,
and do not think any thinking
man will fail to recognise this

reputable or that it is carried on Ia any
but proper manner. It Is never open
on Sunday OF on election days, there
never has been a fight or row there
during the time / have had II and never
an arrest has occurrtd within my doors.
"As regards my reputation l can bring
host OF men OF high repute, both In
business and professional life. here and
In Middletown. TO affirm that 1t is of the
best. When / purchased the place II
was with the intention Of running II In
a law abiding, respectable manner, aud

occurrence in question have made an
Investigation and am convinced that
while my bartender msy have acted In q
manner which would not have allowed

with honest intentions
II make this statement TO set my name
right with the public So far as the
license 10 concerned, l would rather lose
It than have my reputation or character
injured
Mr Devallinger later called on Judge
Ball and made a similar explanation,
adding to 1t that he would keep careful
guard in the future against
anything that would even tend
to lower the standing Of his place.
Judge Ball said that the evidence
deduced from the trial Of the women,
Lottie OVerton and Roxie Cammomlle,
showed that the place was not run
properly, but nothing was said tia.

Mr. Dsvallingsr. The matter OF rev
ocation Of license was one In which he
was not interested, but came within the
jurisdiction OF the upper court.
Officers on the coast beat say that the
place bears no worse a name than Others
there, probably better The general
impression seemed to exist that Mr..
Devalliuger left too much to his bar

happened there

The police have huge joke on one Of
the city officials. He is married but no
olive branches grace and bsautiiy his
pleasant home. Yesterday afternoon as
be was passing up Market street friend
Of Officer MaloneY handed him two boxes
Of fine cigars with the request that he
leave them at the police station for dis
trlbution among The officers
When he reached headquarters he
handed the smokers over to the chief
with the remark This Is on me
Another baby" The bluecoats clustered
around with thoir congratulations, when
the official hastened 10 disabuae them,
rsmarklng: "This Is Officer Maloney's
baby, not mine. / will furnish the cigars
however. II you fellows will supply the
baby" He laughed.
Shortly after 10 o'clock last night,
Omcsrs Floyd and Todd came In, bringing
with them buDole containing 3 pretty
smiling boy about q month old, which
had been found a short time before by d.
P. McKeough and F. +. Fsning, on

This morning Sister Margaret, Of the

took the little one In charge, bsstowing

OFFICERS OFF Duty SHOULD BIZ armed
The Action Of the Board Of Police
Commissioners Evidently Didn't Apply
20 Them.

The Action OF the Board OF Police
Commissioners Evidently Didn't Apply
20 Them.
The decision reached by the Police
Commission yesterday afternoon that the
OH cers should hereafter not carry
blllles, was the subject Of considerable
comment among those who are most
interested In the preserving Of peace aud
the conserving Of public safety.
While II was generally conceded that
an ollicer when on active duty and armed
with his club and revolver did not need
the billy, still IL was also conceded that
when not In uniform he should be armed,
and IN a position TO defend himself in
case Of necessity, make arrests or
dlsperse crowds II occasion arose
Chief Dolan when asked regarding the
action Of the board said II do not think
it was the intention of the commissioners
to deprive the men OF their arms
The Intention was simply 10 do
away with what wss looked on
as an unnecessary weapon to the
pairolman already armed With club and
revolver. During my term Of office have
never seen but two Instances. where
the billy was used. / think 1t very likely
that the commission will make Il 20 that
the officers while of duty can.carry the
lilly
Judge Ball said: "The tendency is to
lessen the efficiency OF an officer of duty.
When the tough element learns that the
police are not armed, when not on duty
it will cesHs TO respect the officer and II
will be difficult TO make the roughs obey.
There are frequent instances whers
an officer on his way home has occasion
TO dlsperHe crowds, or make arrests and
then he should be armed with the billy
The tendency now a-days, however, Is to
make arrests with kid gloves but I'm
afraid II won't work here very wei
The sctlon Of the commissioners was
evidently unintentional. 80 far as It
relates TO officers of duty and this will
undoubtedly be fet Alright at the meeting
tomorrow night.
