There Is significant difference be-
tween the power OF removal of police con-
stbles and members OF paid police de-
partment. The former. as we have seen.
may be renewed at the pleasure OF the
council a>i without cause stated. IL is
an Office without salary and without regu-
lar duties othSr than the keeping Of the
place and the power To arrest which do
not ordinarily interfere with ones time
or occupation. Many may be appointed
for any emergency. and then dismissed,
as their tenure is Simply during the pleas
ure of the council. But paid police de-
partment Is different. because its member
are required TO give their entire time To
it's duties and may be Obliged to serve
both day and night. Such department
requires more certain tenure for it's
officers in order 10 secure proper men
for it's efficiency.
POWER OF REMOVAL.
Hence. the power OF removal is limit
ed TO removal for cause. as i'm this case
for misconduct or incapacity. This being
So IL IL immateriaI whether the statute
says that charges must be I'm writing and
= trial had because II these causes do
not exist the removal is Illegal and the
aggrieved party has the right To be
heard in court. But court could not
say In any case whether the removal was
legal or Illegal without statement OF the
grounds on which the removal is based
and the facts which show IL. lt must an
pear that the action was iustinahIe un-
der the law. This can only appear by
facts produced at hearing SO that
power TO remove for the two causes
named imply charges and hearing as
clearly as though they were expressly re-
qured
III a town council can remove an Of
ficer simply by their own votes that he is
guilty OF misconduct or incapacty and
their action I'm final. this IL equivalent Ia
a removal at their pleasure. for a court
would be unable TO know whether they
had properly found the cause TO exist or
not.
"Of course the council Is To Judge the
facts. but facts amounting TO misconduct
or incapacty must appear. and they can
only so appear when there Is testimony to
support them. which the accused had the
chance Ia rebut
For these reasons we think that the
attempted removal of the respondent
Adams. was illegal and that he still holds
the office of chief OF police OF the town
of East Providence"

Chief Justice Stiness wrote ehe. opinion
and IT is a very clear and logical state
ment of the law as applied to the i'm
portant question under consideration.
The chief of police is held TO be more
than a mere police constable: he is. the
court says. permanent member Of the
police department. and. in reality. stands
the same as the paid member of a police
department OF any city.
The court further holds that I'm order
for q removal TO be warranted IL must
appear that the action was iustihable at
law.
The opinion says: Public laws, chapter
e6i, February, 1872. authorized the towns
Of Westerly and East Providence To pro-
vide for a day and night police. Accord
ingly an ordinance was passed by the
town OF East Providence. which provided:
The members of the permanent police
force the town shall consist of
chief OF police and such number OF police
constables as may be required by the
laws of the state, the ordinances OF the
town, etc. The officers of the police
force shall consist of a chief of police,
etc.
'The chief OF police shall be at the
head Of the police department and shall
have precedence and entire control OF the
department its officers and members
when engaged I'm the service OF the town,
etc. He shall devote his entire time TO the
affairs of the town. etc.
NOT a CONSTABLE.
"This officer was not n mere police con-
stable, but a member OF a paid force sim

chief OF police was thereby made new
and distinct town office. His tenure OF
office is not that Of police constables.

Chauncey Olcott, who has such warm
Mace in the hearts OF those who like pictur'
esoue Irish drama will play his annual en-
gagement here next week presenting for the
first time in this city his new comedy which
takes its title from the name of its leading
character. The fact that the popular singing
comedian will appear in new role will en-
nance interest in the event; it is romantic
part exactly suiting his style and affords
opportunity for some effective work as
singing comedian. "Garrett O'Magh" is said
to be wide departure from the usual Irish
plays inasmuch as it is romantic comedy
with neither priest nor red coat In 1t and
without any of the conventional sensations
or me.odramatc incidents, including an
Irish eviction. The characters with the
exception of a few peasants are all OF the
upper class and the central figure Is love,
with an elopement as one Of the GROWING
incidents.
