City Attorney w. B. Sorrells kept ais word last night when he appeal ed before the city council and openly tiled stinging charges of graft, in- competency and negligence against Chief of Police A. J. Stewart and demanded that the council investi- gate not only the head of the de- 9artmen:, but the police department tn general. He made ringing speech III which he denounced the methods )f Chief Stewart asserting that he knows of gambling houses being in operation in this city and makes no effort to close them.
 The council. on motion of Alder man Pat C. Chestnut, and seconded by Alderman Russell Hollis, voted to investigate the police department and the records and conduct of Chief of Police Stewart. Mayor Toney in sisted on naming the special com niittee provided for in the motion to conduct the investigation, and ruling 1Doat he alone could name the com mittee City Attorney Sorrells, ey- blaming that he did not wish to re- fleet upon the mayor or any member of the police department asked that the council name the special com mittee. The mayor ruled him out ot order and proceeded to name the \ Clement and J. F. Hut were an- pointed, and Alderman Fox state that the first session of the special committee would be held next Tues day morning at 9 o'clock at the city hall He requested City Attorney Sorrells and Chief Stewart to be present.
 SOrrells Takes Floor.
 Whe. the report from the chair man oG the police committee was talled for, Alderman Meyer stated khere was no report. Attorney So,- rGllS asked perlQlSSlOll to address tle council and the privilege was grant kd. He said that there were great many reports in circulation in this city that are very unsatisfactory as far as the police department and the chief of police are concerned. He stated that gambling houses were running in this city and that the city was not getting the revenue from them. "'The chief of police says he is unable to stop them. I have no definite written charges tonight, said MT. Sorrells, .but as city attor- ,ney, I want the office Investigated 'here is something wrong with the Eolice department, and the chief in i particular.

argument l had with Chief Stewart Saturday on a downtown street. merely told him that l either wanted the law enforced, the gambling hous- l es closed or the city be given the revenue from them, or that he re- sign. This is not all that I am pre- pared to show the council relative to Chief Stewart and his department at the proper time. There has been money collected under such circum- stances taht I cant lay my hands on the necessary evidence, but I hope to be able to show many things to the special committee. I would be derelict ill my duty if didn't do this. It is a notorious fact that the chiefs office ought to be investi- gated. If I am wrong, Chief Stewart will be vindicated. I have no axe to grind. ] have nothing personal against Chief Stewart although he may think so.
 Chief Stewart tells you he can't stop gambling. He can stop gam bling. If he cant he ought to ra- sign and let another stop it. It is all rot and tommy-rot to say I can t do this and that There is somethina, wrong with the chief.
 T am not trying to shift any re- sponslblity. don't wont to do Chief Stewart any injustice It is not me asking this investigation. but one-half of the people of this city are demanding it. They are all talking of his incompetency and neg ligent conduct If he is not the man for the place. the council ought to say so and get another He is no better than the city COW catcher.
 T know that gambling is going on in Pine Bluff, He ought to know it. and believe he does. Men come to my office most every day and ask me to recover money for them that was taken from them in gambling rooms. Chief Stewart ought to do this; he ought to bring the offenders in police court: he ought to keep one months accounts from tapping over to another on the police records. There are whole lot of things that Chief Stewart ought to do I will show the committee all of them t the proper time"
 Meyer Defends Department. ! Alderman Gabe Meyer( chairman of the police committee, defended the police department. He said as far as he knew, the books of the depart ment were all right The police are doing all they can, he said, to stop gambling. q don't know whether the chief is doing his duty or not ' confessed the alderman. but I be- lieve that they are all doing their best"
 ! Alderman Fox asked Attorney Sor- rells if he was making the charges against Chief Stewart in an official capacity. Mr. Sorrells replied that he was and that he would represent the city at the hearing to be given the chief at the investigation.
 When Attorney Sorrells asked for the appointment of special com mittee by the council, Mayor Toney declared that the council did not have the authority to name a special com mittee; that it was the mayors duty to do so. He at first argued that his police committee was thoroughly competent. Members of the police committee asked that a special com mittee be named, and that they be re- lieved of the special duties.
