WANTS POPE INDICTED
In Letter to Grand Jury He Asks
That the Bank Examiner BE
Indicted for Malicious
Prosecution.

Unless it is some decidedly unique fea-
lures in the makeup of number of the
time rolls now reposing in one of the
vaults at the state capitol. little in the
line of Importance has developed in con-
nection with the investigation now on at
the office OF City Engineer Claussen.
Since the disclosures ..of last Tuesday
Bank Examler Pope and his assistants
have been decidedly reluctant in giving
out anything definite about the matter
and meet all Inquiries with the answer,
I'VE have nothing. to give out now"
Asked yesterday if any of the promised
suits for alleged libel and malicious pros
ecution had developed. Gen. Pope an
swered lapguidly, No."
Have any attorneys been to see you,
generaI?'.''S4'' '>"''N
Il beieye> there. We're several around
here, was the answer.
A volley of questions fired by the in
}quisitive reporter at the bank examiner
who was engaged in attentively porting
over list Of offical-looking documents,
received just as evasive answers.
AS a parting query he was asked if
some of the reports abroad that he
would be- made the defendant in a heavy
libel suit didn't worry him.
well, / am not losing any sleep was
the laconic answer
The only thing Assistant Bank Exam
iner Harris who is personally conduct
ing the examination Would condescend
to say was that J. NJ. Dickman has In
dorsed all the checks that so far came
under his observation.
SOME ODD NAMES
Some odd names adorn the pay rolls
which have so far come under the eagle
eye of the examiner: but these are partial
ly explained by the street commissioners,
who say they are unable to properly as
certain the names of those in their en-
ploy. One workman is styled Rye Whis-
ky, while another answers TO the name of
Santiago. There are others equally RI
diculous. One Of the number that has
invited inyestigation. Is "a. party whose
name is down on the time roll as A.
MoEtbriene His residence is given as 373
Canada street, but search of that thor
oughfare fails to find such number
The only one answering to the name is
A. A. Montbriand, a sales agent for
coal company.
Some of the time rolls are missing. but
the number has been partially supplied
by ]. E. Kjellberg, a street commission
er, formerly of the Ninth ward.
He supplied the time roll from memory
and it is now in the possession of the
bank examiner. In an interview yester-
day Mr. Kjellberg says he received
visit from Mr. Gehan, who asked him to
supply the missing copy.
Street Commissioner Steeg yesterday
sent his letter to the grand jury asking
that Mr.. Pope be indicted for malicious
prosecution, but what that body has done
with it is not known at this date He is
still as indignant as ever and promises
trouble for, his aecusers.as ..er.
1T was reported yesterday that Mr.
Gehan had secured the services of T. D.
O'Brien and was preparing to begin suit
for libel against the bank examiner, but
the facts could not be verified. He is
not as demonstrative as Mr. Steeg and
is simply saying nothing
One thing that leaked out is that the
removal of several employees in an Off
cial capacity the past year has not alone
been for political reasons. Irregularities
were found and the men depesed were
dropped because of this fact. This may
not apply to all, but it involves the ma
jority of them.
City Engineer Claussen still stands by
his men and says he will await the fin
