CHARGES DISMISSED.
Majority of Commissioners Decide
Officer O'Dea's Case.

After considering the matter for several
weeks, the District Commissioners today,
Commissioner Ross dissenting, dismissed
the charge of intoxication preferred against
Policeman L. J. O'Dea last month.
Officer ODea pleaded guilty OF becoming
intoxicated while on duty and leaving his
beat the 14th of last month before the
proper time. In forwarding the papers III
the case to the Commissioners Mai. Syl-
vester, the chief of police. explained that
four years ago Officer ODea was warned
by them, and up to his trouble last month
bore a clear record, being commended by
Leuts. Daley, McCathran, Pearson and
others. But, in view of the action of the
Commissioners four years ago, Mai. Sylyes-
ter stated that he must recommend his dis
nlissal.
Commissioner Wight, who has immediate
supervision of the police department, per-
sonally Investigated the case, stating to
his associates that while the officer had
been found guilty of drinking, the facts in
the case d!dsnot appear to him to establish
anything more than that he unwisely, per-
haps. took the liquor for medicinal pur-
poses. The testimony of the lieutenan;s as
to the mans efficiency, and the clear record
he had maintained up to last month, enti-
tied him. in Mr.. Wight's opinion, to con-
sideration. Mr.. Wight found that the Of
icer took the liquor last month at his
wife's suggestion for medicinal purposes,
but rather than involve her in the case the
man refrained from so explaining. In view
of these facts. Mr.. Wight recommended
that the charge of intoXication be dismissed
and that the officer be notified that here
after when he is sick and unable to per-
form duty he shall report the fact in the
regular way and use such medicine as may
be prescribed for him by the police sur
geon.
Commissioner Ross, however could not
approve Mr.. Nights recommendation. He
stated that while he has the utmost SYM
pathy for men who have the drink habit
and is willing to give them chance after
chance to do better, provided the employ
ment which is accorded them does not in
volve danger to the community. he deems
it wholly inexpedient and absolutely dan
gerous to give such continued employment
to men who persist in drinking when in
trusted with the baton and revolver. There
fore, while willing to vote to employ the
officer in any other capacity than that of
policeman, Mr.. Ross said that under the
circumstances he must vote to approve the
chief of pollce's recommendation of dis
missal. At the request of many Of the
friends of the officer Mr.. Ross again went
over both cases, but stated that he could
rot see his way clear to modify his above
statement of his views in the present case.
The papers then went back to Commits
Sioner Wight, who Endorsed them to the
effect that he felt justified in adhering to
his recommendation of a dismissal of the
charge of intoxication. Capt. Beach, the
Engineer Commissioner, agreed with him in
the matter. and the action recommended by
Mr.. Wight was thereupon taken today.

in an honest economical and efficient adj
ministration of pub ic office.
''In the final pages CT this communication
are shown, specifically, commercial and
other associations which have strongly pc
titioned your committee for favorable ac-
ton. These resolutions are not mere per-
functory expressions They are passed by
organizations having close affinity with the
weather bureau. and deriving such Substan-
tial benefit therefrCm as to cause them TO
have an active and vital interest in the
welfare and better organization OF this i'm
portant branch of the public service.
Reasons for urging special legislation
In favor of retirement for weather bureau
emp.oyes:
81 They work 365 days in a year. Their
hours of duty are long. On the Pacific
coast the first observation is made between
1870 and $50 am. while on the Atlantic
coast the offices can not be closed before
IL pm, and often later. They must be on
the alert at all times to detect the first pre-
monitions of storm development and re-
main constantly on duty in order to dis
tribute warnings that may be received at
any moment.
80 They are subject to great vicssitudes
of climate, being required to serve, as the
exigencies of the service may require. in
almost any degree of latitude, from Alaska
to the West indies.
So By reason of the peculiar organiza-
ton of the service its employees are, ike Of
flcers CT the army, in great measure de-
tered from obtaining a fixed habitation
or enjoying the privileges that accrue to
long residence in a community. Changes
of station generally operate to their finan-
ciai disadvantage.
II 1t requires many years OF experience
in the weather bureau to become thorough
ly efficient in the higher duties of the serv-
ice and constant study is necessary in or
der to keep pace with the developments Of
meteorological science. The most efficient
men are those who entered the service
when they were young and vigorous, and
gained proficiency as a result of study of
the weather conditions as they were daily
presented. The observers of the weather
bureau are on guard to give warning when
danger threatens, SO that measures of safe
ty may be taken by those whose lives and
property are in Jeopardy.
-. Effective discipline must be enforced
to insure the prompt execution of every or
der without regard to personal comfort,
health, or safety. and it is not just that
those who have devoted the best years of
their life to this practical science should be
turned away helpless in their old age. Con-
gress should not refuse to authorize them
to organize a plan of retirement supported
wholly by themselves, and not costing the
government one penny, but, on the con-
trary, saving much to the government by
taking from the rolls all who for any rea-
son are partly or wholly incapacitated.r
Accompanying the report is list of thir-
ty-siX boards of trade and other organiza-
tons favoring the reorganization of the
weather bureau along the lines proposed.

When you characterized this lynchtnp
as one OF the worst phases OF this
atrcaous practice" because the men killed
by the mob had been tried and convicted of
murder and thereby condemned to death
you were probably not aware that being
condemned to death in Kansas does ,o,

each governor in turn has declined TO fix

capital punishment has been practically
apolished in Kansas without the consent of
the people.
There is no other state in the Union
where law and order are more strictly OBJ
served than in Kansas. and this lynch ne

deserved death, and the mob adopted the
only method in which the sentence of the
court could be carried out and IL strikes
me that instead of being one of the worst
phases 1t is very much to the credit of
the Kansas mob that they waited until the
murderers had been fairly and legally tried
and condemned to death, and there could
be no question of their guilt. before they
proceeded TO hang them. instead of follow
ing the practice OF the cultured east of
hanging men without trial and on suspicion
only.
The slow-going people in the middle At

has not been a corresponding advance in
