THE report Of the special meeting OF
the Board of Aldermen to take up the
matter of charges made against an UNI
named member Of the police force APP
pears in another column. 1t will be
perceived that the meeting was barren
of results owing to the editor Of the
Daily Record failing to furnish the
name of the correspondent, who, over
the signature of Mother" charges a
member of the police force with maxi
ing improper proposals to her maid.
The reasons for this failure were
given in communication in which
the editor practically impugns the mo-
tives Of the Mayor and Aldermen, and
wants them to insure a public hearing
which from the very nature of the
case would defeat the end aimed at
The city authorities have certainly
shown themselves ready to take proper
action in the matter, and if the charges
are not presented the public will draw
its own conclusions. The publicity Civ
en- to the case precludes any possibili-
ty Of whitewashing. The police regu-
lations afford ample opportunity to
present charges against members of
the police force, and when a charge is
made the officer accused is SUSPENDED
from duty until he is tried. The reg
ulation is as follows:
RULE Sc. When charges are fled
with the Chief of Police against any
member Of the force, he shall, after
the filing in his office of said charges,
transmit the same, together with the
past record of the officer charged and
the name of the officer, if any, whom
he has suspended from pay and duty,
pending the investigation of the
charges preferred against him to the
Police Committee. He shall cause the
officer against whom the charge is pre-
ferred to be furnished with copy of
the complaint, and a notice in writing
to appear for trial upon said charge.
He shall also cause the witnesses in
each case to be subpmnaed to appear
to give testimony on the trial OF the
cause before the Police Committee.
When charges are made against Off
SVAo ny pCloOIo nOu llCiIlOClS Va UIlC
force, he shall, before entertaining
said charges or ordering the officer to
appear for trial upon the same, require
the complaints to be verified under
oath.
We would suggest that " Mother, :
having set the discussion going, should
now do her duty to her maid and
all other good citizens of the town by
taking the matter in her own hands,
and either herself personally, or
through any fSiend she may select,
make the charges to the Mayor, the
chairman of the police committee, or
any member of the Board Of Alder
men, with the full assurance that the
matter will be taken up with all the
seriousness that the gravity of the
charge demands, and If the facts are
as stated the officer will be promptly
turned off the force. The matter has
got beyond the realm of sensational
newspaper advertising, and the parties
to the charges owe it to the commune
ty, to themselves and to common de-
cency to put the matter in shape for
action, OF in default, to be regarded as
having faxed foul libel on the po-
lice. A'fia

TO FINISH OLD TUNNEL.
Erie TO Cut Running Time From Nor.
ristown Twenty Minutes.


At Monday nights meeting of the
MOntclair Town Council representa-
tive of the Erie Railroad Company
stated that the Company intended
witbin short time to make the old
roadbed main stem. This, means
tha6 the Erie is to tunnel the moun-
tain from Montclair to Verona. which
will shorten the distance from Morris-
town TO New York about seven miles,
or a. difference of twenty minutes in
running time.
The news that the Erie is to run
trains on the old roadbed, which was
abandoned in 1872, will not be joyfully
received By many residents along the
route. Many of the finest houses in
Montclair have been built near the cid
roadbed. While it has always been
known that the right of way was, still
controlled by some one, no owner Of
property along the route of the old
roadbed had any hesitancy in building
modeyn homes, deeming that the con-
struction Of the Caldwell branch on
altogether different lines was sufficient
assurance that the route was, aban-
doned for all time.
The tunnels through the mountain.
when abandoned thirty-three years
ago. had penetrated 500 feet On the
MOntclair side of the mountain.
About 800 feet more will have to be
bored out to complete the tunnel.
After the tunnel is finished bridge
will have to be built across Verona
Lake and across Lakeside avenue. to
carry the line up to the original road
bed, running parallel with Bloomfield
road is now in active operation.

THERE. is no reason to doubt the
sincerity OF Senator Dryden and other
life insurance magnates who are urg-

At present they have to work under a
confusing assortment Of conflicting

know Just where they stand. The
fraternal assessment orders find the
same trouble. The Royal Arcanum In

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. q. When
Malcolm Rose was placed ON the
operating table it was discovered by
the surgeons that the patients heart,
instead Of being in normal position on
the left side Of the body, was located
on the right side nearly six inches from
its proper place. The organ in every
way, however, appeared normal. It
evidently had been in that position
from birth.
