ALEXANDRIA, Va, November %, 1905.
"A special meeting of the board OF police
commissioners was held last evening for
the purpose of hearing argument by At
torney Lewis II. Machen on the plea for
the reopening Of the case OF William Alien
who was dismissed from the police force
on the charge Of violating that section Of
the police rules prohibiting patrolmsn from
entering drinking places while on duty. The
meeting, which took place In the mayors
ONCE. was al usual, held behind closed
doors. Attorney Machen was heard at
length, after which the board discussed
the matter and declined to grant q re-
hearing. II is said that an effort may now
ba made to get the case before the corpo-
ration court. One OF the principal reasons
upon which the application tor reopen
Ing OF the matter was basew was that
considered the charges against him and
ordered hts dismissal. He had been ae.
quilted by Mayor Paff on the charge re-
ferred to. but for another violation Of the
rules the mayor had suspended him for ten
days. The board then took UP the matter
relating to the entering of drinking places
and passed q resolution removing Allen
from the force.

Frank DeLane. wilose mangled body was
found on the railroad track near Waterloo,

Rev. Father H. ]. Cutler, the pastor. con-
Quoted the services and the interment was
made In st. Mary's cemetery. The authors
ties of Alexandria county are investigating
the circumstances connected with the death
OF DeLane, and It Is probable that con-
siderable Hight viii be thrown on the tragic

at the adjourned session OF the coroDers
Jury. to be held Friday afternoon at Alex
andrfa county court house. The suspicion
OF foul play, mentioned In The Star yes
terday has been strengthened by the later
developments. In addition to the absence
OF about 500, which DeLane is thought to
have had on his person when he met his
death, his gold watch was missing when
his body was found.
