OFFICER STANCES FAULT.
Chief Says He is Hasty and Recon-
mends Fine.

Policeman F. G.. STANCE was today fined
$40 by the District Commissioners upon the
recommendation of Maj. Sylvester, the chief
of police, and warned that hereafter he
must be more careful in his conduct or
more serious results will follow, the officer
having been found guilty of conduct un-
becoming an officer.
1t is stated that officer STANCE the latter
part of August arrested one Wallace,
young white man, and charged him with
disorderly conduct. This charge he failed
to sustain in court, however. Early in Sep
TENDER, 1t was further charged. Officer
STANCE in pursuing a colored man, in vi0-
lation of the orders and regulations of the
police department, made use of his baton,
and, through want of intelligence and off,
cer-like action struck and severely injured
a brother officer Robert Hewlett. STANCE
was also charged with having on divers oc-
casions made use of his baton contrary to
regulations and orders
The case was heard by Maj. Sylvester,
who reported to the Commissioners that in
his opinion Officer STANCE had no special
cause to arrest Wallace. Justification for
striking Hewlett, Maj Sylvester further re-
charge that Hewlett struck the man pur
sued by him and STANCE. The latter, Maj.
Sylvester thinks, should be informed what
his, duties are under the law, and he sug
gests that the lieutenants should carefully
instruct each and every member of their
commands, especially those who have been
connected with the force but short time.
II am satisfied continued Maj. Sylvester.
that in the dark alleyway and in the ex-
element of the chase he (Stange) may have
made a mistake in striking Private Hewlett.
and in entering such places in the night
time, with no artificial light to guide him.
l am of the opinion that he was justified in
having his baton in readiness for defense
This officer, however, is inclined at times
to be brutal and hasty. and l am disposed
to recommend that he be removed from the
hejnQ az
allegation against him, he be allowed an
other trial. If so, 1 recommend that he be
fined $40 and warned that If he does not
show intelligence in his actions in the fu-
ture he will be removed from the force"
Officer STANCE explained in the case of
Hewlett that he did not know Hewlett was
an officer because of the darkness, and that
Hewlett made what he imagined was
threatening motion. The Commissioners,
however, approved Mai. Sylvester's recon-
mendation that he be fined $40 and warned.

After the close of yesterdays report in
The Star of the hearing of Randall Parsons.
who is charged with committing a felonious
assault on Miss Bessie E. Bricker October
Is, Judge Scott heard arguments by Prose-
cutor Mullowny for the government and
Messrs. Campbell Darlington and Albert
Siliers for the defense. The court decided to
send the case to the grand jury and held
the defendant in 5000 bonds to await fur
Their proceedings. In rendering his deci-
sion Judge Scott said he wished it TO be
understood that while he felt it to be his
duty to send the case to the grand jury. he
was not rendering a judgment against the
accused man, but believed that the whole
matter should be investigated by the body
before which 1t is next to be heard
Messrs. Darlington and Sillers called the
attention of Judge Scott to the fact that
they had made earnest appeals to the court
to hear evidence for the defense. and that
he had declined to so. for reasons which
were satisfactory to him, and they gave
notice that they would ask the United
States district attorney to bring the matter
to the attention of the grand jury i'm
mediately.

No Secret Meeting Was Held.

Andrew Freedman, president of the New
York league club, yesterday denied in most
emphatic terms that there had been Sc
cret meeting of leading owners of clubs in
the national organization in New York, or
that any was contemplated. According to

night to arrange some policy by which the
new American Association can be fought.
Another rumor that James A Hart Of
Chicago would arrive yesterday, and that
he and the others already mentioned would
meet in a few days.

dent Freedman yesterday. mo secret

eating case of assault Officer Lally asked
