POLICE TALKED TOO MUCH
AND MAY BE DISMISSED
Gillotte and Martin Must Explain
Bribery" Charges to Board.

The trial board of the Police Depart
ment will be called upon to decide the
fate of Policemen J. L. Gillette. of the
Second precinct, and ]. A. Martin. of
the First precinct, accused OF selling
their Influence" in obtaining positions
for two applicants for position on the
force.
In an addition to this charge preferred
by an unsuccessful applicant the men
will be asked to explain the motive for
their alleged boasts of having a pull"
with the proper officials.
The accused privates were summoned
to Police Headquarters yesterday, and
closely examined by the Superintendent
Both denied the charges. although Gill
lotte admitted having exerted his in
nuence" in assisting two of his friends
into the Fire Department.
The explanation made by Martin was
that the unsuccessful applicant. who
brought the charges, had come to him
for political help. and had been, in turn,
referred to Gillette
While the accused policemen will most
likely be discharged. it is more than
probable that their dismissal will be
made on the ground that both talked too
much. That the affair borders on a
scandal IS considered an absurdity by
those acquainted with the true facts.

BRITISH TO CELEBRATE
BIG BOER VICTORY
1t Was the ZuluS, Not the English,
Vanquished.

CAPE TOWN. July cit is sometimes
said that Englishmen are lacking in tact
and so they are If the word signifies the
art OF understanding the proper thing
10 do. But If IT signifies sympathy
which comes from the heart then it
must be held that Englishmen possess
it in a high degree. or how is it they
govern other races with invariable sue
cess?
The latest proof of British tact is the
announcement by the Transvaal legis-
lative council that Dingaan's day, De-
ccmbcr t6. is to be proclaimed a public
holiday. Such delicate compliment TO
the Dutch cannot but be productive OF
good.
For Oingaan's day commentaries the
most dramatic event in the trek of
the Beers nOrthwaTd. the renulse of the
whole Zulu host by a handful of Dutch
farmers. They fought behind lag
ered' wagons, a defense of which much
has been heard in subsequent South
African history. By this victory over
the Zulus the Beers opened up Natal. So
