Chief OF Police W. NJ. Clemans yester-
day made officer Charles Bickerton, CT
the Island, walk the plank because of
political disloyalty. This makes the
fourth removal on account of active
participation in the campaign in the
interest of Chief Clemans' opponent for
the Republican nomination. Bickerton
has been patrolling the Island for a
number of years, and has many friends
in that section of the city who are said
10 be sore because OF his removal.
Chief Clemans appointed Frank
Fleming to succeed Bickerton and he
will go on duty to-day. Three new
men were started out last night.
There are rumors of further re-
movals for the same cause, and it is
saic that the present week will see two
more vacancies on the force. 1t is
claimed by Chief Clemans' friends that
he rotihed the men who have been re-
moved, and who were known to be
Benefits friends, that they would be
re;ained If they observed strict neutral
ity in the fight for the nomination, but
that they were active in Benefits in
tarest in spite of the warning which
had been given.
An unexpected phase Of the matter
developed after Mr.. Biekerton had been
served with notice of his removal He
brought civil action before Justice
Of the Peace Peterman against Clemans
for the recovery of $695O Bickerton
claims that he paid this sum to Glenn
ans with the understanding that he
would serve ON the force for two years.
lie contends that it was paid after the
campaign and was not q campaign con-
tr;nution
On the other hand, Chief Clemans
states that Bickerton's friends on the
Island made stubborn fight for him,
demanding that he be retained. He
alleges further, that it has been the
custom for police officers to contribute
to the campaign fund and that the
pro rata assessment amounted to S69.50.
Clemans states that he agreed to keep
Hckerton provided he would pay the
same assessment as other men on the
force, but that there was no agreement,
express or implied, that he was to be
retained for any specified length of
ttisle Capt Clemans stated last even
irg that he had received no official no
tice that the suit was brought.

commercial interests Of Hong Kong
look with favor on the American rule
Of the Philippines In the past II has
been the misfortune Of these islands
to have been most wretchedly governed.
In general the conditions which have
obtained there have tended 70 check
progress on the part Of the people and
the development Of the undoubtedly
great natural resources Of those islands.
Under the rule Of this country all those
conditions will be changed, the re-
sources OF the islands will be developed.
business will expand greatly and the
policy Of this country will make them
inviting fields for commercial venture
and enterprise. The business interests
OF Hong Kong will unQuestionably be
benefited by these changed conditions,
and In other ways the advent Of Ameri-
cans into the Orient will be hailed.
