HUMEs UPHOLDS THE CHIEF
Six Seattle CounciImen Call Upon the
Mayor.

SEATTLE. Wash, Jan. six men,
Mayor Humes in an effort to secure
the removal of Chief of Police Sulll-
van from office. The committee was
in conference for an hour, during which
time the mayor was rendered verbal
evidence of malfeasance in office. This
malfeasance was alleged against Sulll-
van by a man who represented that ne
himself had had dealings with the chief
OF police Of a nature which would
warrant the preferring of the charge
of taking a bride.
Mayor Humes evidently anticipated
the committees coming, for he was
prepared with a counter statement,
advanced in an effort to shield Sulli-
van from the accusations. in which he
pointed out that in his belief the charge
was inspired by Well-knOWn local
gamblers. These, he believed, were
anxious to secure Sullivan's removal
because the latter had been making
war upon certain members of the Grim
maj eleIIltDl, VIII Tic lllCtyoI c''iu, Wei
demanding protection from these gam
blers. they being unable to extend it on
account of their strained relations with
the head of the police department.
Though the members of the council
offered to produce the man who pre-
ferred the charges against Sullivan and
have him relate them to the mayor in
the presence of Chief Sullivan, the
mayor declined to go into the matter
further, for the reasons assigned, de-
claring that the evidence, to his mind,
would be discredited on account of the
source from which is emanated, and
was therefore not of nature which
would warrant him in accepting it as
sufficient ground on which to act. At
least two members of the council were
insistent that the mayer investigate
the charges in view of their authors

this he declined to do. asserting that
