THEC0URT
To DECIDE
TOMORROW
On Sullivan's Attempt to
Block Impartial In
vestigation.

There Is considerable speculation
as to how the superior court judges
will view the right of the city coun-
Gil to hear the charges against Act
ing Chief of Police Sullivan. The
court will pass upon the question
tomorrow morning at $50.
Lawyers and others who heard
the case say that while Sullivan
tried as much az possible to bury
his official status under a cloud OF
doubt. yet the unquestioned facts
in the case are such that he can
not well doge the issue that he is
the de facto head of the police de-
partment and as such should an
swer charges the same as a regu-
larry appointed chief.
Under Sullivan's contention any
mayor could appoint an acting
chief, who could commit all sorts
of gross malfeasance in office and
still be not answerable to the rep
resentatives of the people-the city
council. in which power is lodged
to exercise general supervisory
control over the police department
and remove the chief, If Necessary,
for tn furtherance of the public
good.
Acting Chief Sullivan, from a
portion of his testimony, seemed to
think that Mayor n. S. Pratt is the
real chief This is probably true.
as many of the things cahrged to
Sullivan were called to the atten-
ton of Pratt, who has continually
upheld his acting head of the po-
lice department.
Chief Sullivan testified that he
has invited investigation. yet in the
present instance he has gone to
court to avoid an inquiry into his
acts by the city council.

Kidney disease is the most dan

before anything wrong is noticed
with the kidneys themselves.

cannot be mistaken; for instance,

The back aches constantly, or there

WASH THAT ITCH AWAY

1t is said that there are certain
springs in Europe that give relief
and cure Eczema and other skin
diseases. If you knew that by
washing in these waters you could
be relieved from that awful itch,

take a trip to Europe at once?
Would you not be willing to spend
your last cent to find the cure?
But you need not leave home for
these distant springs. Relief is
right here in your own home town.
A simple wash of Oil of Winter
green, Thymol and other ingredi-
ents as compounded only in ID. ID.

relief to that terrible burning itch,
and leave the skin as smooth and
