CHIEF OF POLICE
THREATENED WITH
CRIMINAL CHARGE
Mayor Alexander Challenges Dis
triCt Attorney to Proceed
Against Galloway
COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE
Head of Department Says He
DisIikeS to Yield So a Month
for the Pension Fund
COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE

District Attorney Fredericks issued a
statement yesterday to the effect that
il the police commission did not make
some investigation of the charges
against Alexander Galloway chief OF
police, made by II. E. Dean, until re-
Gently executive secretary to the chief,
he would issue complaint and initiate
criminal procedure. Mayor Alex
ander answered the district attorney
at the meeting of the commission last
night, challenging him to start an in
vestigation. He said:
II want to make a public statement.
The press and certain citizens have
made serious charges against the chief
of police and a mcmber of this COM
mission. After comforting with the
other members of the commission, in
Guiding the chief of police, l will say
that this commission and the chief in
vite a most thorough investigation by
the legal authorities. We have nothing
to hide gentlemen. We want this
thing hunted to the very bottom.
"The commission proposes to make
this investigation for itself and it also
invites an investigation in a legal
way"
The commission decided last night
that Chief Galloway has been receiv-
ing So more a month than he is en-
titled to and ordered his secretary to
dock his salary " every month mere
after as long as he is head of the de-
partment and to take SIS out of his
next months pay.
The city attorney has decided that
the chief is member of the police de-
partment, according to the charter, and
the charter requires that all members
of the department must pay 50
month into the police pension fund.
All policemen pay this amount, and
to cover the pension fund the council
increased the salaries of three-year
service patrolmen to $102 a month.
The chief has escaped the payment
of this pension fee for the nine months
he has been at the head of the depart
ment and now he must pay the 50
month >he owes the pension fund.
I'VE hate to take the money" said
Commissioner Wellborn, but under
the law 1 suppose we must"
You don't hate to take II half as
much as I hate to give it up" the
chief responded.
But while he has to pay So a month
into the pension fund he is entitled to
the pension benefits. For instance, if
he serves as chief for twenty years he
can be retired on half the pay he now
receives. Also if he is injured in the
discharge of his duty he draws full
pay. There are also death benefits.

LONDON, Nov. 28.-With the disso-
luton of parliament today all formal
tiles preliminary to the election of q
new parliament were completed.
The proclamation of dissolution
summoned the new parliament to as
semble January 81, 1911.
Among the first of its members to
be elected unopposed, will be Arthur
j. Balfour, the opposition leader, the
Liberals having decided not to contest
his seat for London.
On the stock exchange, where regu-
lar dealings have been instituted in
bets on the election, the feeling today
seemed to anticipate reduction in
the Liberal majority.
In Ireland the struggle is growing
more bitter. A meeting of delegates
representing every Ulster constituency
was held in Belfast today, at which a
resolution was adopted on motion of a
Presbyterian minister to draw up a
solemn declaration refusing to pay
rates or taxes imposed by Dublin
parliament or obey its DEGREES, while
$50, 600 was subscribed on the spot to
organize the Ulster men into regi-
ments and purchase arms.
MONSTER MEETING HELD
At night a monster union demonstra-
ton was held at Ulster hail, Belfast.
an overflow meeting of 10000 persons
being held in the open air,
Both aroused the greatest enthu-
siasm.
Lord Londonderry declared that
American dollars enabled John Red
mond to hold Asquith in the hollow of
his hand. If home rule parliament
were established, he said, it might be
found that Ulster would utterly de-
cline obedience to the law.
Sir Edward Carson, formerly solici-
tor general and Conservative member
of parliament for Dublin university,
said they never would consent to their
country being sold for American dol
lars.
Walter Hume Long, unionist M. P.
for Strand spoke in the same strain,
and other speakers advocated stern re-
sistance to the law if home rule were
forced upon Ulster.
The first Independent woman suffrage
candidate is announced in the person
of William Mirrloos, who will contest
a division of Glasgow. The Socialists
have decided to run a third candidate
in Battersea, thus seriously endanger-
ing John Burns chance of reelection.
