FULLEST INVESTIGATION
Head of Police Declares Albu-

Quoted on Lines Similar to
Those In Cities Generally.

"If thore is anything in the admin

lin last night. after he had seen the
report OF the grand jury, ut becomes
a matter for official Investigation,
and the records of the police court
and the methods of conducting busl-
ness there are open at all times
There Is not II single detail of the con-
duet of police court business that is
not the general practice in similar
courts in other cities ana that has not
been done here for many years.
II do not care to discuss this report
in detail In many of its features II
shows a complete misunderstanding
of the police court procedure. Had
there been anything criminal or il
legal in the conduct Of the police
business here. the investigation made
by the grand jury was sufficiently
thorough to have found out all about
it, Had there been anything criminal
or Illegal the grand jury would have
indicted. No indictments were re-
turned The grand jury passed the
matter up 10 the city council. | am
perfectly willing to leave the matter
to any investigation the city council
may care to make and the more thor
ough it is the more satisfactory il
will be.
'If the disposition prompting the
inquiry which l understand has been
made by the grand jury had been
fair I Would have been called before
