which assigned him to the work OF Acting
Deputy Chief for the borough OF the Bronx.
The action Of Chief Devery, he says. he be-

part OF the Commissioners. Under Chapter
3IS OF the Laws Of 1897. he says. no officer or
other Der OF the police force can be re.
duced in rank except on sworn charges and
after hearing. He says the Commissioners
have acted in downright derogation OF his
rights and in total disregard OF the laws OF
procedure as prescribed in reducing him from
the rank of Deputy Chief without giving him
fair and impartial hearing.
Mr. Kane says that he was reduced from the
rank OF Inspector to that OF Captain under SIM
liar circumstances

tends that the Commissioners have. no riGh to
fine him for such cause. and that IL they have
that right they cannot use such fines TO pay on

rules go to the pension fund.
