POLICE COMMISSION IDEA
MINNEAPOLIS OFFICERS WOULD
NOT INDORsE THE KIEFER-
GOSS BILL
Their Experience a Few Years Ago
with Similar Board Was
Enough, and They Do Not Want
Any More Along That Line.

The proposed bill placing the police
departments of st. Paul. Minneapolis
and Duluth on a civil service basis has
fallen through, and in consequence
Detective Chauncey Troyer and Ser
geant John Kenna, of Duluth, who
have been in the city in the interest
of the measure, returned home last
night very much disgusted. The deci-
sion to abandon the proposed legisIa-
ton was the result of a conference be-
tween representatives of the three de-
partments held yesterday afternoon at
the Minneapolis police headquarters.
The bill, which originated with Chief
Goss and met with the approval of
Mayor Kiefer, provided for the ap-
pointment of a police commission with
full power over the department and
dismissals only for cause. This plan
just suited the members of the local
force. and Chief Goss, after having
been assured of the cooperation of the
luth asking that delegation be sent
down to push the bill, a copy of which
was enclosed in the communication.
The Duluth men took immediate ac-
ton and last Thursday Detective
Troyer and Sergeant Kenna appeared
on the scene prepared to render all the
assistance that lay in their power. The
st. Louis county delegation was seen
and found to be unanimously in favor
of the proposed legislation, and then a
conference was arranged for yesterday
afternoon at Minneapolis.
The Duluth representative were ac-
companied over by Lieut.. Budy and
several members of the force. The
The Saint Paul globe., 1899-02-11

party found the Minneapolis repre-
sentat1ves awaiting them and then
went into executive session.
Then 1t was that dissension cropped
out. A copy Of the bill had hardly
peen read when several of the Mime
apolis finest announced that several
years ago they had undergone an ex-
per1ence with a police commission ap-
pointed by the council and they want
ed nothing of the kind again. Ward
heelers and demagogues had secured
possession of the Commission and the
men had been forced to pay for their
Jobs and assessed to keep them.
There was nothing to be said fur
ther. Without cooperation there
would be no chance for the bill, and
a motion to drop the matter was pass
ed without protest except the NUT
tered remarks Of the men who had
been brought down from Duluth by
Chief Goss on wild goose chase.
