POLICE CHANGES PROBABLE
Shakeup in the Force Growing
Out of the Carr Case.
NEGLECT OF DUTY CHARGED
Commissioner Wight and Maj. Moore
Confer With q View to Bettering
the Seryice-Some Reductions and
Removals in Prospeet-Police
Pension Fund Decreasing.

For some time past Commissioner Wight
and Major Moore have been engaged in an
investigation Of the police department., with
a view TO It's be etterment. and 1t is believed
that they have now reached d point
where a number of changes viii soon fol-
low. The report submitted by Secretary
Harries, of the Board OF Trade committee
on public order, and the recent police
bungle over the Carr assault, have helped
TO hasten matters.
The changes contemplated at present, it
is understood, viii result chiefly from the
report submitted by Maj. Moore upon the
Carr fiasco last Thursday. AT present the
chances are that Sergt. McTaggart will be
reduced TO the ranks and Lieut. Teeple
dropped from the rolls of the department
The latter, it is stated in Mai Moore's
report, when called upon to allow ODea,
the only policeman III the precinct who
knew Carr, to accompany the detectives,
caused them to walt uEtil he came in
from his beat at II O'Clock. Then when
he did comeIn lie sent him home to dinner.
telling him to come hack at O'Clock to
meet the detectives, thus causing delay OF
| this Carr might have been captured
Precinct Detective Barnes, no is also
| accused of having bungled on the case,
will, il S believed, also be reduced to the
| ranks.
Inspector Hellinberger also comes in for
| share or the blame, in that he did not
make sufficient provision for the report
| ing OF the crime. For this 1T has been
stated he viii be reduced To either lieu
| tenancy or night inspectorship.
Major Moore spent several hodrs in close
conference with Commissioner Wight yester
| day going over the general subject of
! reorganization. The result OF the confer
ence was not given cut. In fact, Commits
| si0ner Wight stated that there was nothing
| 20 make public at present. When the Com
| Tnissionens had decided On the changes the
| public would be immediately Informed.
| Quite a surprise has been accustomed by
| the report or Auditor Petty upon the con-
| dition Of the police pension fund. 1t ap-
| pears from an investigation that the fund
| win not stand more than five retirenenJs.
| and these viii undoubtedly be filled By
| shelving several lieutenants and sergeants
! whose service is poor by reason OF adrano-
/ ing years and other infirmitses
! It's pointed out, however, that by amend
! ing the law governing the fund so as to
| general revenues OF the District, the Com
! rliSsioners viii be in a position 10 retire
as many policemen as they see Fit.

CONSPIRACY, FRAUD, FORGERY
Graver offences than we dared
Charge set up and averred
by Plaintiffs Petition.

[From The DEBORAH Republican, Sept. 16th.l
On the 18th of August, this paper in
dictated that suit was about to be
brought against DR.. F. W. Daubney
which would render him wholly unfit
to be candidate for state senator. At
that time it was stated by us, SIN what
ever form the suit is brought, it must
and will aver wrongful possession of
the property by DR.. Daubney !" At
that time it was impossible to say more.
Steadily, and as rapidly as possible, the
proceedings outlined August 18th, have
proceeded to their elimination. There
has been but one act. Authenticate
transactions have been parts of the
main question; and that is stated below.
1t is graver matter than we dared at
the beginning hint at. AS the reader
peruses the petition in the suit-sworn
to by the aged plaintiff, with an aver
ment that she believes it to be true
he will progress in his mind clear be-
yond anything intimated by us, and he
will see charged crimes of the gravest
character. Robbing the public treas.
urry of its dues in taxes is bad enough
but the charges made in the petition
are far more heinous. We invite 8
careful reading of the document, and
shall comment at length next week.

ceased, and as sole beneficiary under said
will, Plaintiff, versus,

AYERS:
Par. THAT heretofore to-wit: on the 1st day of
September, 1885, George Daubney. who has been
resident of West DEBORAH, in the County of VIM
nesheik, and State of Iowa, for many years, to-
wit for 25 or 80 years. died in said West DEBORAH,
without issue, leaving widow, Charlotte Daub-
ney, the plaintiff in this action, and, leaving
last will and testament executed by him to-wit:
from 10 to Is years before his death, which said
will was duly admitted to probate in the District

Now that the senatorial fight is
out of the way, we may look for
some discussion OF Legislative
measures. Discussion is used adj
visedly for the reason that there is
likely to be more discussion than
legislation, The settlement of the
senatorial question has only
opened wider the breach between
the fusion elements and it has
given neither faction an ally in
the silver republicans. There is
practically a three cornered fight,
with party lines sharply drawn.
The silver republicans will have
little or no legislation to propose,
and they will hold the balance of
power III all measures advanced by
the factions OF the fusion party.
Whether they will use this power
to benefit either faction or to en-
barraSS both, remains to be seen
and the history of the fourth ses-
sion can be written when their
policy is disclosed.

The second Cleveland admins
tration is taperi'.g beautifully to a
close. Few people will regret the
day when Grover and his kind Of
clover have ceased to rule the land.
The days of tariff reform will long
be remembered The tariff for
deficit only still continues to act
pillng up the balance against us at
the rate of 100000 a day. As a
result of democratic craftsmanship
the country i'll the past three years
has been plunged into fresh
bonded debt of 500 900, 900 with
a great many years to run, and
with annual interest charges ap-
proximating somewhere near ten
million dollars. The history of
dem oCratic reform is written in
the bonded debt accumulation of
of the Cleveland administration and
several generations yet to come can
read the history with profit and
draw wisdom from our experience.

1t Is interesting TO note that, in
the tariff hearings before members
OF the Committee on Ways and
Means, the sugar planters of
Louisiana are as patiently heard as
the beat sugar manufacturers of
Nebraska. Indeed if the new adj
ministration were to follow the
narrow lines of free trade policy
why should Mckinley grant favors
to either OF these localities. The
true tariff policy, however, is an
American industrial policy. 1t
knows no state lines, nor is it
measured by the electoral vote of
the several ststes. The thing
aimed at by the republican doctrine
of p rejection is the development of
Amer lean industr es. North,
south, east and west alike will be
considered in framing the new
tariff We are to have an Ameri-
can policy to benefit American in
dustries,
