of both male and female prisoners.
1t is not denied that one young
man was set upon and brutally at
tackled and knocked down at the
door at the police court while the
court was in session. merely be-
cause he tried in peaceable way
to enter the court to see the pro.
ceedings; that he was thereupon
fined and incarcerated by the court
and afterward released.
That many prisoners have testf-
fled as to the Jail being infested
with vermin and that as many as
26 young men were thrown into
a dungeon full of filth and heated
up with steam pipes without light
or fresh air for SO hours and fed
on bread and water before being
tried, many of them being foreign
ers who could not speak the En-
glish language, charged. under an

lice force, the last six of which
were spent as chief, Edmond II.
Creecy will start for his farm near
Gasconade, Mo-, Monday, following
his dismissal from the force today
on charges brought against him and
of which he was found guilty by the
state police board.
William Young, formerly a cap
tain, was sworn in as chief tonight.
Sympathy for Creecy is expressed
on every side and 1t is source of
qualification generally that the
board found he had no connection
with the footing of the police relief
fund, which has been under inves-
tigation. The charges leading to
the chiefs dismissal are insubordn-
alton. accepting gift and failing to
report two specific cases of neglect
of duty.
Chief Young gained an interna-
tional reputation through his work
here during the worlds fair in 1904.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The
navy department is confronted
with the possibility of making a
general investigation Of the navy
yards on the Pacific coast as the
result of the numerous explosions
and accidents in the last six
weeks, due to defective boilers.
Several men have been injured
and one has since died and there
is obvious need of making a survey
of the boilers of the vessels OF
the Pacific fleet Just what &C
ton will be taken depends largely
on the results of the investiga-
tions of the explosions on the Col
orado and Maryland.
Not long ago the New Orleans
was obliged to return to San Fran
cisco after steaming few miles.
An explosion crippled the Hop
kins. Before the cruisers set off
for target practice the engineers
reported the condition of the boil
ers of the West Virginia and Mary
land as being so bad that they
should not go to sea before re-
pairs were made.

dollars and save these people from
unnecessary punishment, as point
ed out by United States general
who visited the Jail, according to
a report made at that time.
In regard to the testimony as to
the ill-treatment of some Of the I'M
fortunate women who have made
serious charges of ill-treatment
endured by them while in prison,
and which was referred to by GER
tain ladies of the Woman's club,
the nature of the testimony Is OF
such a character and the charges
contained in the affidavits of the
victims of the policemen are so
grave that they are unfit for pub
LEGATION, and have advised the in
terested parties that the whole OF
the evidence should be submitted
to the grand jury to examine into
the facts and pass upon the ques-
ton of indictments. This Is the
only way to proceed under our
laws whereby to remedy such
grievous cases while protecting
the witnesses, who unfortunately
are under the constant surveil-
lance of the police.
The grand jury might take up
the question of the excessive po-
lice court expense account, which
is oppressive to the taxpayers, and
include also the detective depart
ment, where there has been
system Of using some poor women
and boys as stool pigeons and thus
teaching instead of suppressing
evil doings.
