Chicago, Jan. is. = Gross abuses of
the pension funds of the Chicago police
department were disclosed at a u 9et-
ing of the senate committee investi-
eating the Chicago civil service COM
mission and police force. A list was
produced of over sixty ex-policemen
now on the pension rolls of the police
department, who, it is claimed are per-
fectly able to do duty as police officers,
but who have been retired, so it is al
legged, for the purpose of making a
place for some candidate for police
star who has political pull. 1t de-
veloped during the examination of ex-
Capt. j. III. Mahoney that Wheeler
Bertram, now chief Of police of Ev-
anston, is drawing a pension from the
city of Chicago of $84 per month. The
Irregularities extend as far back as
Mayor Hopkins administration in
1895.
