THEY WANT TO KNOW.
Police Committee Has Several
Things to Investigate.

Runors were rife today concerning
the action that would be taken by the
police committee of the city council at
the meeting which will be held at
O'Clock this afternoon. 1t is said that
the object of the meeting is to investi-
gate the charges which have been made
against Judge Magaw, but the mayor
and the committee seem to think that
meeting which will be of a sensational
nature Mayor Drew said that he did
not call the committee together, but
that the committee had notified him
that they would hold meeting and de-
sired him to be present He was glad
the meeting had been called because
there were some matters that he de-
sired to bring before it. The city at
small irregularities which have come
to light around the station viii be
looked into.
The committee, which Is composed
of Councilmen Roundtree. Swendson.
Miller and Weber, want to know several
things-among others, they want to
know what their power is and when to
use it. They say they were called upon
to investigate Jailer Gilmore, and that
was the first time that they had been
called upon in any question regarding
the men. They think that If they have
the power of removal they should also
have something to say regarding ap-
pointments.
It was said today by one of the COM
mittee that Dave Gregg, assistant city
attorney, was more anxious for the in
vestigation than was the mayor and al
though he would not tell what Gregg
wanted investigated he limited that
something would happen that would sur
prise the community.
There is a runor to the effect that sew
eral of the jointists have been paying
the police for protection and that is one
of the things to be investigated Mr..
Weber said that he had heard the ru-
NOR but he would say nothing about it
as it would likely come up in the COM
nittee meeting.
Another complaint has been made con-
corning the storing of beer that is cap
tured from the joints. The police have a
large quantity stored in the basement of
the city prison and the law requires that
it be destroyed.
The committee wants to know about
all these things and a good many more
and they expect to make a thorough
overhauling of everybody and every
thing connected with the department.
Ever since the investigation of Gilmore,
the committee has been dissatified with
the way the business of the department
has been conducted and now that mat
tiers have come to a crisis they will make
g complete and exhaustive examination.
The only really serious complaint is
that of collecting money from the joint
lists, although the others if proven is true
will cause the removal of several men
from the department,

He was standing on the curbing on
