OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANcIsco CALL, !

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALb,l
sos Broadway, Jan. 81. :
Special Detective Knappe, who has be en-
the means of securing much evidence
against liquor-dealers, has been turned
down by Chief of Police Lloyd, and he is
telling everybody that his resignation was
demanded because the friends of the
liquor men had been at work on the Chief.
II don't know why / have been
dropped" said Knappe to-day, "but it is
very evident that somebody has been tell
ing the Chief of Police some stories de-
rogatory to me and he has believed them.
do not know what I am charged with,
but the Chief has told me be wished me to
withdraw, and I have been dropped. I
did not have regular appointment, but
was employed right along, and have Sc
cured convictions in many cases. I have
only lost one case in which I was en-
gagged, and that was the Hyman case.
was engaged mostly to go into places that
had no license and procure drink. /
have handled over score of cases and do
not know why / should be let out now"
Knappe has been witness in the Police
Court IN liquor cases nearly every day for
months. He is one of the most familiar
figures at the City Hall. One of his most
OOiCOidIC0 CdSco was JndJ against jules
Debret, who keeps 1.-THE House of Mys-
terry" just across Eighth-street bridge. On,
that occasion his companion was no less a
distinguished person than Mrs. Adds
Mooney, the mother of Lady Sholto Doug
las. A conviction was secured, as the evil
dence was considered unusually conclu-
sive. There are about half dozen cases
now pending in which Knappe is a wit
ness, and the defense will doubtless make
the most of the fact that Knappe is now
non persona grata to the Chief.
Chief Lloyd was asked about the matter
to-day and said: II have never asked
Knappe to resign because he has nothing
to resign from. He was only engaged from
time to time and did some good work.
have not employed him ately because do
not think it best to do SO. The idea that
the liquor men have had him called off, so
to speak, is too absurd to refer to, for if /
have not employed Knappe l nave en-
ployed some one whom I considered more
capable for that particular Job. You
know there is such thing as a man doing
more than he is authorized to do. l have
not employed Knappe for some time, but
have had good reason for not doing so.
The arrests for violating the LIQUOR ordi-
nances are as numerous as they have ever
been so the hint that the liquor men in
fluenced the Chief is not borne out by the
records.

Mr.. A. l.. Elicit, Jr., brother OF Colonel
Tazewell Elicit, during a short speech,
paid especial attention TO the article In
the Times this morning questioning the
legality Of Captain Lambs nomination.
Mr.. Elicit declared that the adherents OF
Colonel Elicit. as well as Colonel Elicit
himself. recognized Captain Lamb as the
nominee OF the party and were giving
him hearty and active support. lie de-
clared that the publication was one which
accomplished no good for Colonel Elicit,
snd ne believed its sole purpose was 10
60 injury to the Democratic party, by
attempting to array one Democrat and
his friends against another Democrat.
He thanked those present who had so
warmly supported his brother for the
nomination. and bespoke for Captain
Lamb the same loyalty and activity IN
the present fight against the common
enemy. He said that in addition TO the
evident animus which prompted its publ
cation, the article should be treated with
the contempt Il deserved, as no true Dem
ocrat would look 10 the Richmond Times
for a lust criticism of what was or was
not legal in the Democratic party
