THE ALEXANDRIA saUABBLE.
Judge Keith Has Rendered His De-
ciSion In the Matter.

Judge James Keith Of the Supreme
Court OF Appeals. to whom was submitted
for arbitration the Alexandria embroglio,
involving the question as TO the powers
Of the Mayor and Board Of Police Com
missioners OF that city with reference to
the removal or suspension Of police ON
GERS. has mailed his decision to the Alex
andria officials.
Judge Keith. after stating the questions
involved. reviews the charter Of the city
ana says that its language seems TO him
plainly and clearly 10 limit the power OF
the Mayor TO suspend I'm any case 10 thlr-
~ days and that the use Of the phrase,
"or until such board shall convene ana
take action In the matter was not IN
tended to confer upon the Mayor the
power 10 suspend until the board should
convene as an alternative 10 his power 10
suspend for a period not 10 exceed thirty
days. but IL Is TO be interpreted as i'm
posing 'im'rofi0n uNOn tho duration or
the suspension which the Mayor was du-
thOriZeQ 10 impose. In other words, MS
power 10 suspend could in no case exceed
thirty days and II AZ the end Of thirty
days no other action had been taken the
suspended officer or policeman would re-
turn 10 duty II. in the mean time, the
Police Commissioners should convene and
take action In the matter. II would be
their province TO inquire into the guilt or
lceman. IT, upon inYestiea ton, he was
found not guilty, he should be acquitted,
ana this judgement of acquttal would re-
leve him of all the pains and penalties
incurred by the suspension
he holds that the power conferred upon
che Board Of Police Commissioners TO re-
move a policeman does not include the
power of suspension. He is also of the
opinion that while there is no provision in
the charter which requires the Mayor TO
report a suspension of q police officer 20
the commissioners, he has no hesitation
ina saying that to do so would be within
the scope Of his general duty to see that
the laws are faithfully executed.
In conclusion. Judge Keith advises that
