Commonwealth Attorney Brent during
a trial in the Corporation Court, 10 the
effect that certain officers had failed 10
furnish the prosecuting attorneys once
with information, for the reason that tne
case was still pending before the cou r.
He said he would take the matter up III
the near future when he desired oil the
commissioners to be present A meet.
inc TO consider the matter will be called
at an early day.
Mr.. Graham moved that the rules for
the governments of the police force, formu-
lated in 1895, be adopted.
Some interchange Of opinion followed
as to the propriety Of compelling police
men to report information concerning
telonies and misdemeanors to the Com
monwealth's Attorney, Mr.. Fisher
urging that this should be required OF
members OF the force.
Mr.. Graham said that it was an I'M.
plied rule that the policemen would
give the attorney in question all the IN.
formation they possessed when called
upon. but that such information shoulu
come through the officers of the police
force.
Mayor Paff said that he would prompt
" bring charges against any policeman
who failed TO render the Commonwealth s
Attorney every assistance in procuring
evidence against criminals.
The old rules were then adopted.
Mr.. Graham called attention to the
fact that the police have been more alert
recently than ever before, and said that
such Improvement would soon justify "a
vote of confidence" He said, however,
that there was still considerable talk
about town of the apparent intimacy De,
tween certain members oil the force ano
disreputable characters, and while the
object of the officers might be to secure
information, the matter should be inves-
tigated.
Mr.. LAWYER intimated that great
deal of information along this line might
be adduced in the hearing OF the case
pending against Lieut.. Smith.
The question of officers who are ln-
capacitated BY reason of age and physl'
cal infirmities was taken up, and alter
some discussion it was determined to no.
tify Officers Howson and TIGER that their
names will be dropped from the roll May
l, 1905, or earlier, if the exigencles OF
the service require it.
The board subsequently adjourned.
Mr. Lawler, secretary of the board
this morning sent an official commul
cation to Chief Webster in reference u
the action of the commissioners las
night in the cases of Officers Howson ant
TIGER, who are incapacitated for activ
duty. The chief subsequently communl
Gated the commissioners action to tn

who are prone to angle for these fish,
1t is fact that the bass and rock seem
to have almost deserted the Potomac,
