While the city mas the necessary ducts

expenditure to do. the work, which it is
stated the city does not feel inclined TO

Alderman /. G. Haas, chairman of the

the fire department wires would be placed
underground That 1t is advisable to put
them there goes without saying, he said,
but the departments appropriation will
probably not admit of the expenditure.

Il find there are several improvements
that should be made in the fire depart

of Collinsyille. Until the city is able
to make these improvements, however. we

The four Greek fruit dealers who were

Ing before Justice Of The Peace Naughtin
yesterday afternoon and the cases against
all of them dismissed. The names OF the
men at liberty are George Christopher,
S. Pappedea. Peter HOS and S. Kiriakis-
About a dozen pupils of the pubic
schools Of the city appeared as witnesses
against the defendants. These were the
same children upon whose Information the
warrants had been sworn out and some Of
them had already made statements bear
ing out the fruit dealers guilt. When
placed on the stand yesterday they abso-
iutely repudiated all knowledge Of the
sale Of cigarettes to minors by the de-
PENDANTS stating that they had neither
purchased them themselves nor witnessed
their purchase by other children. Some of
them declared that they had never seen
and did not know the defendant whom their
evidence was expected to convict.
1t is stated by the school authorities
that the list OF those for whose arrest
warrants are 10 be sworn out has not

dent Must Be at the barracks.
Mayor Myers was asked yesterday in
regard to the tension drawn on the po-
lice by the superintendent restricting the
giving out of information concerning the
department wholly to himself. The Mayor
approves in part of this course, and thinks
it proper the superintendent should know
of the information the public gets. but he
thinks there are exceptions to a rule of
this kind.
Mayor Myers said he had talked over
the rule with Supt Screven, and fully
agreed with him that he should give out
information, or have it done in a system
attic way The Mayor said he intended
to see that nothing unreasonable is done
in Withholding information 10 which the
public is entitled. When his attention was
called TO the fact that the most import
ant events frequently occur after mid
night, and that the superintendent has
generally left the station by that hour,
IL he has been tehre at all during the
night, he said:
when anything of Importance occurs
in the police department, it is the duty
of the superintendent to be there, and to
direct the operations of the police and
detectives This is required of the super
intendent Of the fire department, who is
expected to promptly respond to all calls
relating to the duties of that department.
There are occurrences that come under
the supervision of the police department
which the interests of the city require sup
pressed" said Mayor Myers. "On the
other hand, there are things of public in
terest. and which should be promptly di-
vulged When the superintendent leaves
the station for the night, or is compelled
to be absent, it seems proper the senior
sergeant, or such officer as may be deslg-
mated, should be empowered TO give out
information"
1t is we'll known that there are many oc-
currences In the police department which,
for political and other reasons, the heads
of the department and the administration
desire suppressed. Supt. Screven said
yesterday that his position is fully APP
proved by the Mayor; it is his evident in
tention to see that the doings of the city
guard are carefully guarded.
The superintendent was at the theater
last night and did not reach the barracks
until few minutes before midnight. He
said that nothing had transpired with the
police during the day which the public
was entitled to know. In regard to his
presence at the barracks at night he said
