Experts Declare He is Sound
Mentally--0f Duty a Year
and a Half.

The police committee held a meeting
yesterday afternoon at which the cases
OF Patroimen Bates, McElroy and Nor
ton were considered.
A complaint had been made by Hef-
fernan e. Kempton, to the effect that
Patrolman Bates had refused to re-
move a drunken man from their place
OF business.
From the evidence submitted Ii ap-
peared that former employe of Heffer-
nan g. Kempton called at the shop and
was ordered to leave. AS he refused
to do so somebody went out to the
street and, finding Bates, told him that
a drunken man was upstairs. armed
with club and threatening to do va
rious kinds of bad things with his wea-
pom.
Picturing In his minds eye, blood
thirsty ruffian. Bates sprang for the
stairway, and on the first landing met
a muddled and harmless individual,
armed with piece OF soft pine box
cover. who was hurrying toward the
street followed by numerous vocifer-
ously CALCULATED requests to get out or
he would be fired down stairs"
Bates led the bewildered erstwhile
wielder of the paint brush TO the side
walk and turned him loose to paint the
town or what not.
Chief Baker told the committee that
the alleged offender was on private
property, was committing no breach OF
the law and that Bates had no authori-
~ to make an arrest let alone having
just cause for ruuuing the man in.
Thereupon the complaint was dismissed
and Bates was exonerated.

The Last Pitched Battle.

The next couple Of days ought to set
tie whether Lord Roberts will en-
counter serious opposition south of the
Vaal. But the best opinion believes the
next big engagement will be fought
just south OF Johannesburg. and that
the fight there and possibly one at
Laipg's Mex will. prove the last pitch
ed battles of the war. The latest indi-
cations almost point to the latter be-

lay until Lord Roberts is able to de-

The case of Patrick j. McElroy Is one
which has been discussed pro and con
for a year and half. He was declared
to be of unsound mind and was given
a leave of absence about a year and
half ago. since when ne and his family
have had pretty hard shedding, depend
ing largely upon the credit extended by
sympathizing friends.
DR.. Palmer declared the man insane.
DIR. Keene said that McElroy was a
victim of delusional insanity. Others
said that he was afflicted with paranoia
and that at the termination OF six
weeks he would become a subject for
treatment at one of the insane hospi-
tails and would end his days there.
That period OF time passed and the
alleged paranoia was out and about as
usual. Those who were watching for
signs Of an outbreak couldn't detect
any evidences Of such an attack. Dr..
