The police committee is composed of Aldermen Gabe Meyer, chairman; A. C. Jordan and J. A. Clement. The action of Monday night reducing Par nell was taken after the members of the committee had conferred with Mayor Toney.
 In statements made yesterday in the presence of several persons, Former Night Chief Parnell declares that Chief Stewart was responsible for his discharge. He makes the assertion that the chief and his friends have been planning to oust him for some weeks and that the ill feeling was occasoned when he was an applicant for the chiefs job when Mayor Ton ey's administration began. Evan Par nell was night chief for about eight months. His successor, Night Chief Stanley, held that position under the late Mayor H. King White.
 Parnell says he does not deny en- toying a nap occasionally when there was nothing doing and things were quiet around the headquarters, but his predecessors were furnished with a couch for that purpose He declares that when he went ill as night chief the couch was taken away. It is stated that most of Parnell's sleeping was done in a chair Parnell says he always remained at the chief office and attended to his duties, but that he is of the opinion that the department must want man who likes the gam bling rooms and the East Barraque resorts to hang round rather than a man who attends strictly to busi ness.
 Chief Stewart stated this morning that he had nothing whatever 10 do with Parnell's discharge. He said he was surprised when he was informed of the committees action. He had heard of his sleeping at nights. aa says, but did not report il bectu.., he never caught him in the act. :usther- more he did not like to maks d kick against harnell, because h2 might think it was personal spite.

PARNELL ID BE
 GIVEN HEARING xD1
 Ousted Night Chief of Police Asks Committee to Ex- plain Why He Was Re- duced to Patrolman
REFUSES TO ACCEPT
PatrOlman's JOb-Did Not know Where His Men Were, Says Alder. man Meyer-Other Charges Made Against Dep0sed Officer.

Former Night Chief of Police Evan 2arnell is to be given a hearing be- fore the police committee of the City Council Friday afternoon at 8 O. clock He has refused the position of patrolman offered by the police committee Monday night when he was removed from the night chief job. declaring that he would not be reduc- ed in such manner.
 To a Graphic representative Par nell stated that he believes that he should be given a hearing that he might leave the force kinder decent" anyway. He said no charges had been preferred against him by the police committee, Chief of Police Stewart or Mayor Toney and that he was just simply informed that F.. C. Stanley had been reappointed night chief to succeed him. He demands hearing before the police committee and to show that the police committee in tends to do him no injustice. Alder man Gabe Meyer, chairman of the x8mmittefs hsss sspaated hims the priyi-. lege to flake his statements and re- ceive any explanation he might desire from the police committee Friday a'- rernoon
 1t is stated that. charges were pre- ferred with the police committee to the effect that Parnell had enjoyed maps" *almOst nightly at the police Headquarters instead of remaining awake and looking after the men ON the beats. Alderman Meyer stated that Parnell knew practically nothiny of the whereabouts Of the various pa trolmen on night duty when he should have kept an eye on them at all times during the night and see that their work was being properly done. The recent robberies in the downtown districts have brought forth charges to the effect that certain patrolmen were sleeping in hotel Hobbies and other downtown places while the bur- glars were operating successfully.
 ''The other night" said Alderman Meyer. "a negro clubbed his wife with the butt end of revolver, leaving her bleeding. almost insensible at West Second avenue and Beech street. He then made his escape. The residents of that neighborhood were thrown in to the widest fright by the incident. Two patrOlmen were called there. The next morning l was told of the incident and made an investigation. Night Chief Parnell knew nothing of the happening of the night before. He did not even know anything of the two patrolmen having gone there and was unable to give their names I then asked Chief Stewart about it and he was as ignorant of the matter as Parnell. TO this day l have been un able to learn the names of the patrol men who visited the scene of the as sault This is only one illustration of what is going on while policemen sleep
 It is also charged that too many personal friends of Parnell's were permitted to hang around the police headquarters at nights and some of them are said to have even sl9pt there night after night

JUDGE THARP AGAIN.

In reply TO Judge 1nafp ar
ticle published in today's paper it
as only necessary for The Journal
to say that the facts in regard to
the Arnold case, which seems to
have brought this acute attack of
bellyache upon the Judge, have
been freely and fully published in
this paper, and were publish
ed at the first opportunity. What
more could any fair minded man
ask?
As to making any 'hienous at
tack upon him, Judge Tharp
knows and the public knows that
we have never done anything of
the kind. Never, until last week,
has The journal said an unkind
word of Squire Tharp, and then
he was the aggressor. 1t is true
that in the account of the Arnold
case published some time ago, we
unintentionally placed him in
false light, but at the first oppor-
tunity we published u statement
giving the facts in the case. This
should and would have satisfied
any fair minded man.
/ But having contracted case of
the political itch, the astute Judge
no doubt thought it would give
aim some desirable notoriety and
raise the public's estimation of
himself if ne should wade into the
futile 2x4 editor and do him up
brown. But having gotten the
worst of it. he now plays the baby
act and would mislead the public
by trying to leave the impression
that we have made some "hienous
attack" upon him.
The Journal emphatically denies
ever saying anything about Squire
Tharp signing or not signing a
petition at the mass meeting held
on the 2Sth of January, or any
other time. The Journal did say,
however, in regard to a certain
petition circulated at that meeting
that practically every body, except
some of the town and township
officers, signed it, We did not say
Squire Tharp did not sign it; and
we are sure there we're other Off
cials present besides Squire
Tharp. If this statement "stabb-
ed" the Judge, as he says it did,
we have no apologies to offer
the Judge should not place himself
an such an akward position that
the truth will stab" him that
way.
And, by the way, did you notice
the Judge $ profound silince in re-
gard to where he kept his office.
In conclusion we want to assure
the public that we have nothing
whatever against Squire Tharp.
He has Away been a friend to The
Journal and The journal is friend
