Delving deeper into the official ca
reers Of Chief of Police William ].
Biggy and Captain OF Detectives James
r. Kelly, the investigating committee
OF the Citizens League of Justice
found additional evidence yesterday in
support Of charges of incompetency
that have been made against Biggy
and Kelly. The investigation lasted
practically all day.
II was announced yesterday by a
member Of the committee that little
doubt exists in the minds of the entire
committee that Biggy and Kelly have
been negligent in their police duties
and are incompetent to serve any
longer In all probability. il was stated
by this member, charges would be fled
against Biggy and his subordinate.
Not only has the committee been in
vestigating the conduct Of the two
police officials. but special officers have
been detailed 10 investigate many dis
gusting stories circulated concerning
the unofhcerlike conduct of the two
men, For this reason the deliberations
Of the committee have been postponed
until next week. when further evidence

LACK OF ETHICS
IN RUFF TRIAL

Boss Lawyer as Tricky
and Impertinent
Desperate Battle for Delay Is
Made by Defense, but Court
Orders Progress

Seven hours of cross examination
yesterday at the Ruef trial, with
James L. Gallapher still on the
witness stand and Henry Ach conduct
ing the inquisition, resulted in the
thrashing out of but two phases of the
subject matter brought out on direct
examination The day passed almost
without progress, and was marked, as
the preceding ones have been, with
such obvious battling for delay on the
part of the defense that not only the
attorneys for the prosecution, but the
court as well, were aroused to open
censure.
Charges of impertinence and utter
lack of professional ethics were hurled
at Ach by Attorneys Johnson and Sulli-
van, and half a dozen times during the
day there occurred wordy clashes. The
final scene of the day was one in which
Ach and Dozier of the defense and John
son of the prosecution indulged in
quarrel that it took a positive threat
from the court to bring to an end
Through it all the trial proper stood
practically at a standsti1l. Dragging
through maze of irrelevant matter,
Ach held Gala agher down to mere repe-
titions
Gallagher himself contributed no
small part to the delay yesterday, for
his answers were tediously slow. often
involved and hedged in with explana-
tions.
Undaunted by the reprimands that
he brought upon himself Wednesday
by his brazen return to methods of OBJ
struction. Ach continued from the out
set of the case yesterday morning to
ignore the warnings he had received
and TO taunt the court, the witness and
opposing counsel at every opportunity
that offered.
Ach launched into the inquiry re-
garding the making of immunity con-
traStst by the members of the boodling
board of supervisors. regardless of the
fact that he practically had exhausted
the subject Wednesday.
Judge Lawlor delivered a strong re-
buke.
REBUKED BY COURT
Counsel for the defendant has ex-
amined this witness at length" he
said, and the court is of the opinion
that too much time has been consumed
in going into such matters. The court
orders now that this examination must
be expedited. We are not trying the

made. On Friday evening the weekly
club dance was held and was attended
by about 80 couples. which is rather
more than the hall can accommodate

themselves. Music was furnished by
