was gotten out OF the way: and the rea-

sip. both within and outside of the depart

Captain Parker was a veteran Of the
Civil war. who enlisted when but 10 years
OF age. and Loyalty served his country and
lanauished IN the worst OF the southern
prisons.
Chief Matthews began his career here
as driver Of hose wagon No. 4 In the fire
department.
Captain Parker had served % years
faithfully as an efficient and capable
member OF the police department; famous
as one OF the ablest detectives In the
country; and so far as known, no pro-
vious charges had been lled against him.
Chief Matthews has served years In
the police department and has never be-
fore been formally accused befo=e the
police board.
Captaln Parker was charged with vio-
lation OF rule ~, In speaking disrespect-
fully OF his superior officer
Chief Matthews was charged with at

In the case OF Chief Matthew'S the
board declared that 1.-The previous good
record OF an officer has been considered
sufficient reason for fixing a less drastic
penalty; and while we recognize the
gravity OF this complaint (attempted con-
spiracy. to the end that Chairman Luther.

that violation OF the rules by the chief

good record, this board decides to repri-

The difference in the treatment OF the

ell" accompanying this, which makes II
