Some Alleged Cases Now on Trial
Before Chicago City
Board.
OVEROHARGEs MADE BY OFFICERS
Not Much in the Case or Trial, but Said
to be the Regular
System.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-The three officers
of the detective buereau of the city
police department who are charged
with defrauding the city by means of
fictitious expense accounts were put on
trial yesterday before the civil service
commission. The accused officers are
Lieutenant Peter J. Joyce, Detective
Sergeant John G. Cramer and Detec-
tive John J. Tracey. The case Of Joyce
was taken up first and the board went
into the matter of the expense accounts
for the return of prisoners Lovece and
Larkins from Cleveland last May, and
Tracey was called before the board.
Though he proved an unwilling wit
ness the corporation counsel drew out
of him considerable discriminating tes-
timOny against Lieutenant Joyce and
Detective Sergeant Cramer.
Board Shuts Up an Attorney.
Tracey refused to answer a number
of questions put to him by Assistant
Corporation Counsel Fyffe, on the
ground that it might incriminate him.
In doing this he followed the advice of
his attorney, Simeon Armstrong, who
frequently interrupted his examination
with suggestions that he refuse to an
Swer Finally President Ella, of the
civil service commission, threatened to
have the lawyer elected from the room
unless he desisted, and the warning
had the desired effect.
Tracey Tells How It Was Done.
Tracey testified that he and Cramer
had been assigned to run down the man
Lar1ins, who was charged with horse
stealing, and that they were finally
notified that the man was under arrest
in Cleveland. He admitted that they
did not go after Larkins, but arranged
with Policeman Gallagher, who was in
Cleveland after the prisoner Lovece, to
bring both men back. Pressed further
by the attorneys Tracey admitted that
he had signed and presented the mes
sengers' expense account, making full
charges for bringing Larkins to Chi
cagO.
Joyce Said 1t Was Regular.
He explained that Lieutenant Joyce
a desk officer of the detective bureau
made out the expense account and at
tached the notarys seal. A moment
later he said he got the check and
casheu it. He refused to state what he
did with the money, on the ground that
it might incriminate him, but said:
Joyce told me that it was the regular
thing for an officer to bring back an
other mans prisoner and to put in an
extra expense account for it, Chief
O'Neill has charged that the money IL
legally obtained was divided among the
accused officers
Actual Expense Was Only $27.
Pressed further Tracey explained
that he had given Cramer $27. He adj
mitted that this amount covered the
actual expenses of bringing Larklns to
Chicago, and that the remainder Of the
sum received from the state represent
ed the surplus, which was to be divid-
ed. He said he had received $3.50,
and that he still had it.
did Joyce know that only SGT was
spent i'll actual expenses" asked At
tOrney Fyffe.
'Of course he did; he saw the vouch-
ers, and knew just what was spent"
This closed the direct examination Of
Detective Tracey and an adjournment
was taken.

The Landlubber Ducks OF Sahara

THE proverbial fondness of ducks
for water would lead one to Dresup-
pose that Of all the world the most des,
titute of ducks would be the Sahara
desert and that if a stray 'springtair
happened to drift into that region he
would either vamoose or turn up his
toes with briefest delay Well, not at
ALL" said q Frenchman who was for
merly a resident of Tunis
There are parts Of the desert where
ducks abound, flourish and multiply
with every evidence Of perfect salts
faction. The fowl is slightly different
from any of the varieties we know in
this country, but it has the same fiat
bill, extensive breast and web feet,
showing that it was once a water bird,
though now it scarcely finds enough to
drink and has become too provident to
waste any Of the precious fluid in ablu-
tons. Like the other good Mussulmans
of the country, they take their prescrib-
ed bath in the sand, and their web feet
come in very handy as snowshoes to
walk upon the deep yielding dust. 1t
is claimed by an eminent French orni-
biologist that the Saharan ducks are
the remains Of q race of aquatic birds
which frequented those seas when the
present desert was part of the Allan
tic ocean,"
