Mr.. Delaney, after leaving
tiers with the Chief, said:
what a spectacle the Chief Of the De-
nartment presents before the public and
his subordinates, and the officers and
men OF the department, reporting for
duty from day to day, unlawfully sus-
pended from ONCE and no charges pre-
ferred against him!
How can discipline be maintained under
such circumstances? 1t will take years
to undo this harmful work. No matter
how this case ends. the public Will be
the sufferer"
The Commissioner stated last week
that he would not then serve charges
against Chief Croker. because he did
not desire to humiliate him before the
convention of fire chiefs then TO as

Friday. The Chief reported according
to orders yesterday; but there were nj
charges to confront him. A secretary

Fred Butcher, Accused BY
Sadie Ottermeyer, Acquitted
by a Jury Of Elderly Men

had induced her to accompany him
across the East River and that wher
she reached the Long Island side Butch
Ell seized her. placed her In a car and
took her to Long Beach, where she
managed to escape from him.
The jury which acquitted Butcher was
chiefly composed of elderly men and
after being sent out they returned TO
say that they stood six to six for con-
%viction. They wanted further instruc-
tions pon the law.
But their legal Instruction was again
insufficient and soon they returned to
say that they now stood nine to three
for conviction. They received further
instruction and left the court for the
space of two hours, coming in eventual
ly with a favorable finding for the pris-
Oner.
Butchers wife. an extremely pretty
young woman. was in court with her
W children. When Butcher was ac-
quilted his wife sprang to her feet and
kissed her husband, crying:
Thank God; thank Goal" ,

MIR. Croker will not return to the lead

so himself, and he is a man OF his

word.
Il have the highest respect and re-
gard for Mr.. Croker as a leader and
as a man, but his day as leader Is

Is practically free from organic matter

When I visited your spring noticed

the results of my observation and tests,
that the object Is fully accomplished.
