THE CHARGES DISMISSED.
Officer LOgue Restored TO His Position

Trustees Say. However, That Officers
Must Obey the Orders of the
Chief of Police.

The City Board of Trustees held an
adjourned meeting last night to con-
slider the question of the sewerage pump
and the charges against Police Captain
Greene and officer Logue.
The bond of E. J. Croly for $40, 900 was
approved, with A. A. Van Voorhies, A.
G. Folger, j. L. Huntoon, Fred Cox and
A Meister as sureties.
That Of H. d. Nash for $4,000, with
P. Menken, NJ. Miller, A. Meister and Lee
Stanley as sureties. was also approved.
1t was ordered that a hose cart ac-
cording to specifications adopted be ad-
vertised for.
Bentley reported that the insurance
companies refused to insure the Water
Works boilers further under their. pres
ent pressure He moved that two 300
horsepower boilers be advertised for by
the Clerk, bids to be opened on March
ID So ordered.
The charges against officer Logue
were taken up, Corporation Counsel
Johnson acting for the city, and ]. W.
Hughes for Logue.
Chief of Police Drew testified that on
the night of the 10th inst. he ordered the
officers to go on the beats assigned them
and not to leave them. Later in the
evening he saw the officer absent from
his beat on a P-street car, and rode on
the car with him from K to p street
The officer made no explanation of his
absence from his beat, nor did witness
ask him. Logue had an opportunity to
report to him, he said, in answer to a
question by Attorney Hughes, as to any
reason for leaving his beat, both before
he left the station and on the car, if he
had wished to do so. Witness knew
that a man was confined in the City Jail,
who was arrested by Logue, but the
officer had reported nothing Of the case
to him. After he was ordered on his
beat, he took the man into a room at
the station, and was there with him
about half an hour before he went on
his beat.
Witness had never seen one Of the
officers off his beat before without be-
ing told by them of the reason for their
absence. He had no feeling against
Logue and thought he had been pun
ished sufficiently already He had re-
ported the matter because he thought
it was his duty to do so, in order to
maintain discipline. He hoped that the
board would not punish him further.
Tozer moved that the charge be dis
missed and the officer restored to duty.
Bentley said that he did not wish the
case dismissed without it's being un-
derstood that it was the sense of the
beard that the charges were just and in
the interest of discipline. 1t should be
understood that the Chiefs orders were
entitled to respect and obedience, and
that officers should take note OF the
fact.
Tozer and Devine expressed them
selves similarly. and the charges were
dismissed unanimously.

Devine said there was very conflict
ing testimony. The charges were wide
reaching and involved the peace of
families.
He started in to argue the case, but
Leonard called him to order. He in
sisted that he had right to explain his
vote, but was told that there was no
vote pending. He became excited and
charged that there was a conspiracy
that involved the heads of the city
government, and he proposed to bring
proofs. He wanted to know if foreign
institutions should rule the city.

night was made and carried.

the chief civilly and ask him to send
one Of his people to show you a good

invariably in this country, though it is
not always advisable in every part Of
