There was Disguised lot of headquarters de-

Police Commissioner Murphy had given Captain
,Titus's bureau a strong electric shock by order

10 urgent special duty and setting them TO
work looking for those violations Of the law
which the precinct commanders, detectives

chagrin IL shows him that his subordinates
are not all with him i'm his efforts TO clean up

the headquarters detectives against the pre-

protection are also greatly worried by All. huT,

made against him by Mrs. Mildred Hamilton.
The charges were drawn up and served on Lyons
yesterday. His trial will begin soon. Mr.. Muir
ply may conduct il in person. He has decided
not TO put DOnohue any other captain on
trial as there are specific charges against
them, which, in his opinion, would warrant that
step.

more.
