Wants Poetic License.

On one occasion when Supt. Maxwell
visited one Of the high schools, he was
proudly and gracefully led by the princi-
pal to one of the lecture rooms, where a
teacher was explaining a difficult problem
In algebra. While she was thus engaged,
the superintendent noticed a certain
schoolboy writing upon his paper covered
book.
Struck by the inattention Of the boy,
the superintendent, at the close of the
recitation, walked with a quick step to
the desk of the student and sharply
asked what he wrote. The boy blushed
and handed him the book. The guperin-
tendent then read the following verse:
"Oh, Algebra, where are the charms i
That sages have seen in they face? :
Rather dwell in the midst of alarms, y
Than stay in this horrible place!'
My boy" sternly said the superintend-
ent, what do you mean by this, and
why did you not pay attention.
!, Il beg your pardon, SIR said the boy,
"Hut have we poets no poetic license?"
The frown of Supt. Maxwell melted
away in a smile.-New York Times.

Acting Mayor Fred NJ. Powers was
a busy man again yesterday straight
ening out some of the kinks that yet
exist in the Anes administration. His
work consisted in securing the resig-
nation of the mayors private secre-
tary, Tom r. Brown Jr., and Capt. Hill,
of the police department.
Mr.. Browns successor is Stiles Jones,
who has been connected with the rep
ertorial staff of the Journal for the
past two years.
Capt Hill handed in his resignation
to Acting Mayor Powers yesterday.
Pc IS one of Mayor Ames' oldt time ia
vorites and was at one time Superin-
tendent of police under the Mayor dur
ing one of his former administrations,
and when he assumed control in Janu-
airy, 1901, the mayor gave his old-time
friend a captaincy under him on the
force.
When Col Fred Ames left the city on
his leave of absence, the mayor appoint
which position he held until the return
of Col. AmeS. During his short in
cumbency of the office he reorganized the
force completely, and perfected an or
public to be for the best interests of the
city, but as soon as Col. Ames returned
ne changed matters quite materially,
and sent Capt. Hill up to the North side
station, but he has never reported for
duty at that station.
AS soon as Capt Hill was relieved by
Col. Ames, he and Capt. Fitchette took
the train for West Baden and were in
stTumental in the overthrow Of Supt.
Ames. They laid down SO hard on the
mayor that he was forced to act, and or
dered the resignation of his brother. In
securing the chiefs overthrow, they were
also, in a measure, responsible for their
own decapitation, and today both of the
captains are private citizens.
More Changes to Follow.
It is understood from good authority
that the present grand jury is backing
the acting mayor in his determination to
rid the city of the offensive partisans to
the Ames administra ton, and it is bare
lY possible that before a week elapses
there will be several other heads that
viii fall into the private citizen basket
The present head of the police depart
ment VIII act slowly, however, and Moth
ing will be done without due considera-
ton having been given to the questions
It is said that many of those who are
now in bad repute and have been relieved
from their positions on the police force
are more than anxious to go before the
grand jury and give information that will
tend to incriminate many others.

Detective John Morrissey.
Capt. Coffin, who had charge of the
mounted force, has been endorsed and

c. W. Curtiss has been transferred from
headquarters to the municipal court de-
tail.
Joe Phillips; whom it is claimed paid
Coffee john 800 for his appointment
to the force has been discharged. The
reason assigned being that there was no

patrolman, as he had never taken the
oath of Office or filed his bond.
Capt Jake Helm has been transferred
from Central station back to the North
side, where he was before Col. Ames re-
turned from his leave of absence.
Lieut.. Sinclair will be in charge at
headquarters during days, and Capt. Gus
Runge will have command at night and
his duties will be to look after ''roomers, -

These changes have all been recon-
mended to the acting mayor, and no

COL. AMEs WANTS DELAY.
He Files Affidavit of Prejudice Against
Judqe Simpson

Col. Ames appeared before Judge Simp-
son yesterday morning with his attorney,
Victor Welch, and withdrew his plea of
not guilty to the indictments charging
him with bribery and eXtortion in order to
introduce a demurrer to the Indictment
on the following grounds:
First-That more than one offense Is
charged in the indictment.
Second-That the facts stated in said
indictment do not constitute a public Of
tense.
Third-That the second indictment is
insufficient in that the same is not direct
and certain as regards the particular cir
cumstances of the offense charged which
are not necessary to constitute COM
plete offense, and that such Indictment
does not substitute a complete offense,
and that such indictment does not sub
stantially conform to the requirements of
the second subdivision of section 293 of
the General Statutes of 1894
Mr.. WEIGH said that he would not argue
these points, as the same had been ar
gued and passed upon in the former trial
of Col. AmeS.
Judge Simpson then overruled the de-
murrer. Mr.. WEIGH then moved for a
continuance of the case until the next
term of court, and asked for information
which judge was to hear the case.
