liceman Arthur E. Stahl and subsequent
abuse of brother officer, George L. Yoe.

known.
The action of Major Sylvester was
taken only after Yoe had been cited to
appear for trial before the police trial
board on charges brought against him by
Policeman Stahl These charges allege
among other things that Yoe was guilty
of conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman in that he attacked Stahl and

specifically, that Yoe saw Stahl enter
downtown theatre located on his beat,

fcial to the whole command. 1t is true
that perfect harmony has not prevailed
in the precinct for some time, but the
knowledge Of this unfortunate condition
has served, it is said. to bring the op-
posing factions together to great eX-
tent, 50 that Improvement is hoped for.
