and notorious gambling within the
above specified dates. to-wit: From the
7th day of November to the 18th day

Therefore we are Of the opinion that

his duty as charged in not suppressing
it, and we so find.
JOHN A. DRINKHOUSE.
THOMAS REAGAN,
Police Commissioners"
Commissioner Poheim voted not
guilty. He said that he believed that
gambling was conducted in Chinatown,
but that the evidence produced during
the trial of the Chief could not impn-
cate him in any charge OF neglect IN
not stamping it out When vote was
called for on the penalty Kahn arose
and entered an objection on the
ground that the board had no Juris-
diction inasmuch as the charges had
not been proved. The objection was
quickly overruled and moment later
Whitman knew his late OEluhIOuoC
and Reagan answered dismissal as
chief of Police" when their names
were called, and Poheim refused to
vote. Arising from his seat Whitman
addressed President Poheim thus:
II want to thank you. Mr.. President,
for your vote in this matter. Now. no
one knows better than I do that the
facts sustain you in your position
II have been with this department
for twenty-four years, and in all the
ranks that / have held I have never
committed an illegal act My greatest
ambition was to build up this depart
ment to be one of the best in the United
States. How far have succeeded was
shown at the international Congress OF
Chiefs of Police held at St Louis last
June, where they elected San Francisco
the place to hold their next interna-
tfonal congress. This is an interna-
tioual association of chiefs of police
from the United States. Canada and
Mexico. That action has been rescind-
ed now.

to elect me president of that associa-
ton when they met here that summer.

attorney made the same objection as
Kahn and the same ruling prevailed
Commissioner Reagan then said TO FL
lis: Sergeant. this is the most un-
pleasant duty have had to perform
since / became q Police Commissioner.
Had you shown any disposition TO as
sist this commission in gathering evil
dence during this investigator / would
be inclined to be lenient with you and
permit you to retain your position on
the force. You did not, however. and I
have but one penalty to impose and
that is dismissal from the department. "
Both Drinkhouse and Poheim voted
likewise and Ellis lost his authority.
Heinz and O'Brien followed and their
stars were unpinned from their coats
When the case OF Patrolman William
Doran was called, Reagan said that
the charges had not been proved to his
satisfaction and that the officers frank
conduct on the stand was an evidence
OF his innocence and greatly in his IA
vor. For this reason Reagan and the
other Commissioners voted to impose a
fine of $780, Mum and McGrath were
served likewise and after the excite

elts which the institution had done
since it was started on Walnut street
&c years ago. Girls between the ages
OF four and IA years of age are admit
ted to the home and are clothed, fed
and sheltered. There are inmates at
the present time and great pains are
taken to sec that the girls are taken in
to good homes. NO aid for this work
has ever before been asked of the
state.
Mayor w. r. SHELTON. Rev. FIR. Baker
and Mrs. G.. A. Berry of Lewiston. and
Rev. FIR. Gauthier of Auburn, spoke Il

1899 and had received but one apprO-
priatiOn from the State. There are now
II patients in the institution. two Of
VI HON are charity patients. If the State
granted an appropriation the amount
would he used for charitable purposes
and Mr. Gould was willing to give
guarantee if necessary.
d.. j. r. Varney, house physician.
stated that since last August when he
began his duties he has had 1873 pa
tients under his care and that the in
stitution is up-to-date in ali respects
and does a great deal of good. DR.. NJ.
s. Goodrich of Waterville, and Clarence
scott of Old Town. testified that the
hospital had done Il great deal of good
in the community and considerable
charity work and that the appropria-
ton asked for is not very large when

tai is the only one with the exception
of small one at Greenville. where the
