SAN JOSE, Jan. 1o.-The last of Mayor
Martins administration was summarily
dismissed from office tonight when the
City Council found Fire and Police Com

in Office. In the case of Chief of the Fire

that it belonged to the Police and Fire
Commission.
The investigation which eliminated late
tonight, resulted from a charge made
by Fireman William Tenant, who was
dismissed from the department for fight
ing. Tenant alleged the Commissioners
and Chief had connived in his dismissal
and charged them with willful neglect
and malfeasance in office.
At the hearing tonight all the Com
missioners went on the stand and denied
the charges made. 1t was after IL O'Clock
when the Council retired to reach a YER
dict, which was soon accomplished Coun-
cilmen Mathews, Hubbard and Murray
of Mayor WOrswicks regime voted the
Commissioners guilty and Councilmen
Porter and Cherrie opposed them. Mayor
Worswick at once appointed George p.
Mckee, Samuel G.. Tompkins, T.. W. Car

dismissed officials.

which the appointments were confirmed.

the writer said he would be in this city
on December %, last, and that he would
call upon her. Ten dollars was tnclosed

CAPTAIN BARNUM
IS INDICATED
Court Of Inquiry Holds
That Charges Were
Unwarranted.
General Bates Gives Superior
Officer a Sharp Rep
rimand.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The record OF
the court of inquiry appointed at the re-
quest Of Captain Malvern Hill Barnum,
Eighth Cavalry, to investigate certain all
legations made against the official con-
duct of that officer by Major Charles G.
Ayres, Eighth Cavalry, has been received
at the War Department from General
Bates. commanding the Department CT
Missouri. The court met at Fort Riley,
Kans. It's findings were favorable to Cap
tain Barnum. the allegations OF Major
Ayres not being sustained by the evil
dence.
The court found that there was no dis
obedience of orders on the part or Cap
tain Barnum, and that. on the contrary,
the evidence showed his intention TO carry
out the orders of the squadron comman-
der exactly and Loyalty. The court fur
thermore expressed the opinion THAT Ma
jor Ayres in making the assertions was
hasty and intemperate, and that while
not imputing to him any intention or
making a false statement the assertions
made and reiterated by him were mislead-
ing, inaccurate and unwarranted."
In approving the findings of the court
General Bates, the department comman-
der, said he felt it incumbent upon him
ITO call to the attention OF Major Ayres
that a contentious and capricious manner
toward other officers and the making of
unfounded and improper assertions In re-
gard to their actions Is highly unmili-
tary and harmful to the service. For an
officer to have so acted that a court Of
inquiry could properly use the language
they did in speaking of his conduct
evinces a disposition absolutely opposed
to military efficiency and discipline and
subversive of the best interests, seriously
impairing his own record"
General Bates deems further action un-
necessary.
