OFFICER WHO KISSED
GIRL GIVES UP STAR
FILES RESIGNATION FROM THE
POLICE FORCE
Decides to Quit Department When He
Learns Father of Young Woman
Intends to Push lnVesti-
cation
Especial to The Herald

SAN BERNARDINO, April 26.-Ofi-
Ger w. ]. Phillips of the local police
force, to avoid additional publicity
which would result from an investiga-
ton by the city council of his act in
kissing the 14-year-old daughter OF
w. p. Nobes of this city, has surren-
dered his star and filed his resignation
with Probation officer w H. Baldwin
who has charge of the case.
Up until last night Phillips absolute
ly refused to give up his office, but
when officer Baldwin informed him
that Nobes was firm in his intention
to Law the matter before the city coun-
Gil tonight, the officer weakened and
handed over his star.
Phillips is bitter in his denunciation
of his political enemies, who, he de-
clares, are responsible for the sensa-
ticnal story which grew out of his act
in kissing the child, whom he had es-
corted, with her companion, to the lat
ter's home. Phillips declares that any
one who insinuates that there was any
thing but the purest motive in the act
will have to answer to him personally.
