POLICEMAN M'GLYNN EXONERATED
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE DE-
C1DEs THAT PREFERRED BY CHIEF OF
POLICE REYNOLDS WORTHY OF CREDENcE.

Policeman Mike McGlynn. accused by
Chief Reynolds of attempting to extort
money from Fred Alexander, 1909 West
Broadway, was exonerated last night. al
ter an investigation of the charges
against him by the city council.
The counsel also unanimously voted to
commend Chief Reynolds admnistra-
ton; express confidence in and approval
of the able manner in which he is con-
Quoting the affairs Of the department and
express the belief that under the circum-
stances he was justified in asking for the
investigation Of McGlynn.
During the investigation of the charges
several things developed, not the least
of which was that there is friction IN
the department and that Chief Reynolds
is not respected by a number OF ms
men.
Light on Gambling.
Considerable light was thrown OF the
gambling question, a difference between
the chief of police and the county attor-
ney was admitted. More than one aicer-
man made an accusation against another,
and anything but a desirable condition
of affairs was revealed IN the pollce ue-
partment in addition.
The council chamber was crowded dur
ing the investigation. and there was
much excitement.
The only testimony offered against Nc
Glynn was that of Chief Reynolds and
Alexander, while several witnesses tes-
titled on behalf of the accused police
man.
Every charge was refuted, and the
council had nothing to do but consider
the evidence insuffio tent and exonerate
NcGlynn.
Chief Reynolds was the first witness
against NlcClynn. He told of AleXan-
der's visit to the city hall TO see him.
The chief was rot there at the time. and
Alexander talked " It'll Judge Boyle.
Not Presented by Chief.
The chief said he did not present the
charges at that time. as he wanted TO
await the return of a witness. Continu-
ing. the chief said:
Il fird il difficult 10 get men to testify
in these matters. They d '!::.e figuring
in such affairs. I wanted che testimony
OF Prof Speers Of the Athletic school,
who was in Alexanders place when Nc
Glynn came after the proprietor. but he
asked to be excused from testifying.
Il have done everything in my power
to protect business men from graft i'm
positions These particular charges We're
made in such a way that the council can
Investigate every policeman on the force
If it so desires.
For my part am ready to have my
actions pro.oed to the very bottom. I
want this Investigation to be as thorough
as possible.
IT knew nothing of any gambling at
Alexander's. McGlynn never reported to
mo that gambling was going on there"
Very Quiet Man.
McGlynn interrupted to insist that he
had told the chief Of several gambling
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-12-21

questioned Policeman No. 16. at the cor
ner of Park and Main streets. as to
what was going on in the building at the
southeast corner.
The policeman had replied that tt ere
was game going OH theve; that he had
reported the matter tc the chief of po-
pice and had been told to mind his own
business.
Mr.. Breen said he did not mean to con-
vey the impression that Chief Reynolds
was in favor of letting gambling go on.
He said they differed only as to the
possibility of absolLtel. supervising
gambling.
HE thought gambling could not be
entirely stopped while 1 thought and
stiil think. it can be stopped" said Mr..
Rreen. Il do no. believe we can close UP
every little poker game but we can close
these traps for workingmn."
Dispute Between Officials.
A dispute between Chief Reynolds and
Mr.. Breen followed, in which was gone
over the whole history of gambling
prosecutions. charges Of grating against
constables and policemen and other
matters. Alderman Dussan thought the
investigation was getting pretty deep In
the mre. Alderman Cohen sad it could
not go too deep to suit him.
Policeman McGlynn returned at this
time with Alexander. for whom he had
been sent. The council wanted to ask
question. McGlynn created sensation
on announcing that when he entered
Alexander's place he found a game go
ing on and Alexander in the game.
Alexander insisted that there was no
gambling in his place of business.
The council then unanimously voted to
exonerate McGlynn.
After the vote there was cOnsiderab bile
argument concerning the bringing of the
| charges.
Several of the aldermen thought Chief
Reynolds acted as he believed was
| right and said he should be commended
| for it. Some caustic references were
| made by members to each other and
! Chairman Cohen of the police commit
tee rendered his resignation. saying that
he felt Inundated that the matter had
been taken from the hands of the COM
| mittee.
Remarks That Are Bitter.
He thought the matter should not have
been aired before the public. Dempsey
said he had brought the matter before
the council so that the public could see
| how trivial the charges were.
Mayo thought Chief Reynolds was
handicapped in handling his men and
suggested that he be given more power
He said the chief was handicapped, not
| only by his own policemen, but by alder
men who, he said, when charges We're
preferred against policemen, appeared as
attorneys for the defense.
Asked to name the aldermen, Mayo
replied, Dempsey and Duggan." Con
tinuing Mayo said, these aldermen d.
not appear as judges with unbiased
opinions, but as regular attorneys fol
the accused. They apparently know
what evidence is to be produced and pos
sibly help secure it."
Dempsey began an accusation agains
Mayo but was stopped by the mayor.
Alderman Siebenaier then proposed
that the council give Chief Reynolds
vote of approval and confidence which
was done without dissenter.
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-12-21

cases, whereupon the chief replied that
McGlynn was one of the quietest men on
the force about reporting trouble
He added that since he had been chlef
McGlynn had treated him with silent
contempt.
McGlynn asked if he had not been crit
icised for arresting gamblers at the
Washington block. The chief repleo
hat he had always arplalded the ac>
lions of McGlynn up 20 the time the
present charges were made.
At this PORT Alderman Dempsey IN
terrupted to ask Chief Reynolds what in-
str,1ctiors he had given his men regard
ing gambling.
The chief replied that he read the
gambling Law to the policemen shorty
aft AZ taking office. He had since been
largely actuated in what he did by ina
advice Of the city attorney.
Mayor Wants Light.
The mayor at this point wanted to
know whether Policeman McGlynn or
Cnlet Reynolds was on trial. Chairman
| Cohen of The police committee wanted
to krow the same thing.
The chief said he was ready to answer
all questions. In answer to further Ques-
tion.ng by Alderman Dempsey. the chlei
replied that when he heard that police
men were grating he thought they were
/ abusing rather than upholdlng the law
! he had never countenanced the pro-
tecting of any gambling house or game
/ by a policeman.
Fred Alexander testified that on Octo-
Der Il McGlynn looked about his place
and took a proffered cigar. He returned
s.e next night and in answer to ques-
ton from Alexander replied that he nao
, found no gambling. Continuing. Alex
, anGer said:
He then called me outside and told
me he was sure there was gamphns
going on in my place and that 1t woulo
cost orly $40 month. l declared tnere
was no gambling going on and refused u
| pay Tor protection.
Later in the night NcGlynn returned.
and the next day l went to see C"iei

No Gambling Games.
| st was unable to see him then, but
| succeeded several days later and then
stated that I wanted the policeman
stopped from coming to my place Oh
business. The only games played III His
place are hearts and SOLO"
In repsonse to a question from Alder
man Dempsey. Reynolds SAID that on
! the strength Of a written opinion from
| the citv attorney he had instructed his
mon TO make no arrests at night Tor
| misdemeanOrs.
City Attorney Lamb explained that the
statutes Of Montana provide that man
| cannot be arrested at night for mis-
demeanor unless the offense be committed
| in the presence of a policeman or other
authorized officer of the law.
Judge Boyle told of the visit OF Al
exander to the city hail. October ~

visit of McGlynn to his place OF busl-
ness.

''The spoils system" is the hideous

STATESMANLIKE
CONSISTENCY.

CONSISTENCY. on the Fourth of
March, 1901, Mr..
Mckinley, referring to Cuba, said:
81 have been assisting its people in the
successive steps necessary to the estab-
lishment of free and independent gov
ernment prepared to assume and per-
form the obligations Of international
law which now rest upon the United
States under the treaty of Paris"
Again this eminent phrase maker re-
marks in the same address:
"The principles which led to our in
tervention require that the fundamental
law upon which the new government
rests shall be adapted to secure gov
ernment capable of performing the
duties and discharging the functions of
a separate nation"
And yet this is the same Mckinley
who approved the resolutions attached
to the army bill, which resolutions are
diametrically opposed to the doctrines
of his inaugural. These resolutions
simply acknowledge Cuba as being
under proteotorate of the United
States. They declare that the govern
ment of Cuba shall execute the plans
devised by the United States for certain
purposes. They even provide that "the
island of Pinas shall be omitted from
the constitutional boundaries of Cuba,
the title thereto being left to future ad-
justment by treaty"
Is this an acknowledgment of the
capability Of Cuba for performing the
duties and discharging the functions of
separate nation?'' And after all our
pretence Of having interfered between
Spain and Cuba from purely philanthro-
pic motives, and after all our vehement
declarations that our sole object was to
release from tyrannous bondage the
Cuban people, how does this part of the
resolutions which Mckinley approved
sound:
"That to enable the United States to
maintain the independence of Cuba and
to protect the people thereof as we'll as
| for it's own advancement, the govern
ment of Cuba will sell or lease to the
United States lands necessary for coal
ing or naval stations at certain specified
points to be agreed upon with the presi-
dent of the United States"
There is certainly as much flavor of
"criminal aggression" in this as there is
aroma of benevolent assimilation"
No president of the United States has
ever been so consistently inconsistent as
| William Mckinley.

him, but they could neither change his
views nor his public course. Finally,
despite the fact that the bank was grow
ing and prospering under his admins
tration, the directors, swayed by excited
public feeling, gave him to understand
that his resignation from the presidency
would be acceptable. He resigned, &C
cordingly, and, in the face of the strong
est local and social influences, threw
himself into the silver campaign of
1896. The following year, overweighted
with disappointment, chagrin and
anxious strain, he died Of broken
heart. 1 attended his funeral, and,
although had differed so widely from
his financial conclusions, yet I deeply
realized that st. John had passed away
as noble martyr to the spirit of politi-
cal independence.
The tyranny of the majority will
always manifest itself in republic
which is ruled by political machines
and it's natural effect is to repress the
formation and the expression Of indie
pendent opinion. De Tocqueville, who
visited the United States in Jackson's
time, says in his famous work:
"In America the majority raises very
formidable barriers to the liberty of
opinion; within these barriers an author
may write whatever he pleases, but he
will repent it if he ever step beyond
them. His political career is closed
forever, since he has offended the only
authority which is able to promote his
success. I know no country in which
there is so little true independence of
mind as in America. In that immense
crowd which throngs the avenues to
power in the United States I found very
few men who displayed any of that
manly candour and that masculine in
dependence of opinion which frequently
times, and which constitutes the leading
feature in distinguished characters,
wheresoever they may be found"
What, then, we ask, can be done to
assist the growth of political indepen-
dence? And, as between the parties
which appeal for support, what should
be the attitude Of the true lover of this
republic? Let me call attention to the
fact that the underlying principle of the
nation is that certain number of citi-
zens will free themselves from the
slavish subsection to party. If nobody
changed from one party to another, all
elections would practically be unneces-
sary. Another fact worthy of notice,
and carrying with it a most valuable
lesson, is that the greatest political inde-
pendence prevails in those states which
are supplied with independent news
papers. The circulation of independent
papers like the New York Evening Post,
