President of Police Board
Decides to Dema1At the I'm

1Olo Broadway, NOV. II.
John z. McElroy, as president of the
Board of Police and Fire Commission
ers, has decided that all OF the evidence
collected against the four policemen,
c. E. Clark, c. W. Hamerton, J. F.
Stahl and Lee E. Andrews, who were
dismissed from the department for pill
fering from merchants stores shall be
made public President McElroy will
present his views tomorrow at the
meeting of the Police Commissioners
and will endeaVor to persuade Mayor
Olney and City Engineer Turner that
this is the proper course to pursue.
McElroy also favors a prosecution Of
the quartet and he will officially in
Vite the attention of the Police Com
missioners to his ideas on that phase
of the police scandal.
In view of the stand McElroy has
taken the meeting of the Commission
crs is looked forward to with much in
teIest. Besides the matter of a final
disposition of the cases the board has
to deal with the charges filed against
Policeman Frank Sill. In this case the
evidence, according to Chief of Police
Hodgkins, is weak and not of a char
acter to impress him with the guilt of
the patrolman. The police officials
have said they would go to the limit
in pressing charges against men where
evidence warranted drastic action, but
they do not feel as if officers should
have their names linked with the mall
Odorous revelations of the last ten days
unless the proof shall be very clear
as to guilt.
The appointment Of a sergeant to
fill the vacancy caused by Clark's dis
missal will be given consideration to-
morrow. Patrolnlan Michael Shannon.
who assisted in uncOvering the opera
tionS of the dismissed men, has been
mentioned for the place, as has Police
man Pert Henderson, and Lon Agnew,
clerk to the Chief of Police.
Concerning his stand on publicity.
President McElroy said to-day: If
this evidence is made public l feel that
another strong bulwark will have been
raised against a repetition of such
offenses as have scandaliZed the Police
Department. Next to criminal prose-
cution l consider dismissal in disgrace
