The lamp and watch committee Of the
Borough Council, in accordance with the in
structions of the latter body, met in the
Council chamber last evening to investigate
the charges against the police force in refer
enoe to the settlement of the case against
Red Pauline" alleged to have conducted a
house of ill-fame on East Centre street, and
which was recently raided by the police.
The result of the investigation is not very
satisfactory and resulted in nothing tangible
so far as that particular case is concerned
Councilman Coskley and James, members Of
the committee, were in attendance, as were
also the entire police force. Each of the
latter, when questioned, denied receiving
one penny of the $40 paid by Red Pauline"
in settling the case. Upon this statement
Mr.. COakley retired from the room, after
which Mr.. James and some of the police in
dulged in war of words, and accusations were
made. Mr.. James had a record of the
Squire docket, which shows Chief Murphy
was the prosecutor, and that he and Police
men Mullahy and Heaton were witnesses
and also that Special officer O'Hara drew
$1,000 as costs in the case. The latter refused
to attend the investigation. The committee
will make their report at the next meeting of
Council,

A Logical suggestion

The venerable X. L. Dabney, D.
d.. is well known in this country
and abroad. Upward OF twenty
wears ago his youngest son, Lew
IS. was a sharp-witted lad who
promised to become a respected
"chip Of the old block"
The lad was whipped one day
for an act of disobedience, and
then had to undergo the more
trying ordeal OF sitting quietly
on the sofa. He became deeply
absorbed in thought and present
ly asked:
MA. why did you whip me-?
$50 to make you better boy"
was the response.
Lewis again became lost in
thoughtful reflection. Presently
he blurted out:
MA, d. you believe in prayer
Eyes, my SON"
IF you were to ask God to
make me better boy do you
think He would grant your pray
err"
Il think He would, SON."
"Well, then, ma, I wish you
would pray a little more, ane
whip a little less
