QUESTIONS CHIEFS VERACITY
Commissioners Say There viii Be
New Police Executive if.
He Did Not Tell Truth

Harry e. Dean, executive secretary
to Alexander Galloway, chief of police,
was removed by the police commission
Yesterday. Chief Galloway said that
he wanted Dean removed because ne
is not a stenographer. Three commls-
sioners voted for Deans removal ana
two against it. Before the session
ended two of the commissioners ques-
toned the truth of a statement by
Chief Galloway.
The question of the chiefs Veraclty
arose at a stormy session of the com
mission yesterday morning, called for
the special purpose of removing Dean.
Mayor Alexander and Commissioners
Davidson and Johnson voted for re-
moyaI and Commissioners Topham ana
Wellborn against it.
Dean declared after his removal that
he would prefer charges against Chlef
Galloway and that his bill of partic-
ulars would be varied and extensive.
When informed that Dean had threat
ened to bring charges, Chief Galloway
said:
II do not care who files charges
against me or when or where they are
filed. I do not care when I leave
the department and I did not care
when | went into it. This is not a
matter that l care to discuss in the
newspapers. No, [ prefer not to make
any statement, at least at this time"
Preceding the public meeting at
which Dean was removed there was
an executive session in the mayors
office. 1t was evident that all was
not peaceful, for there was a warlike

LEAVES $4,000 ESTATE
Two Wills and Two Petitions of
Letters of AdminiStra-
ton Are Filed

Two wills and two petitions for let
ters of administration in estates were
filed in the probate department OF the
superior court yesterday
The probate of the will of John
Holmes Rhuart, who was II years old
when he died, October 26, 1910, in Mari
copa county, Ariz., was asked by his
widow and son, Eunice Rhuart and
Leslie Holmes Rhuart.
The dead man left an estate of $16,
500, consisting entirely of cash in
banks. He directed that $1,000 should
be given to each of his two grand
children, John Holmes Rhuart and
Nancy Drake Rhuart. He also made
several small bequests, including $3.50
to his old friend, George E. Truesdale,
and the same amount to the latters
wife, Sarah Truesdale both of whom
reside at Willowbrook, in this county.
The remainder of the estate is de-
vised to the widow, who, during the
husbands life, was decided one-half Of
his property. The son is given moth
ing, but he is named as the trustee of
the bequests of his children. The will
says that any person not satisfied with
his bequest and who starts a contest
of the will shall forfeit what was de-
vised to him.
The will of Mrs. Annie NJ. Kirk,
which also was filed for probate, gives
everything to her son, DR.. Harvey NJ.

COURT RESCINDS CONTRACT
FOR EXCHANGE OF STOCK

Judge Hervey of the superior court
yesterday rendered a decision by which
Leo H. and Albert Kleinke are the
winners in a suit they brought against
Benjamin K. Hall for the rescission
of a contract for the exchange of
stock, with lot valued at $1,000 thrown
in extra by the plaintiffs.
The Kieinkes alleged that in No
vember, 190S they traded the lot and
stock in the Imperial Coal and Coke
company for stock in the Somerset
Mining company. Later. they said,
they found the Somerset stock had
been misrepresented to them by Hall
and they brought the suit for the re-
scission of the contract and the re-
vesting of the title to the lot in them.
Judge Hervey gave them all they

spirit among the commissioners when
they gathered around the public board.
The chief said that he wanted Dean
removed because he was not stenog-
rapher
"He is efficient in many ways" said
the chief but as he is not stenog-
rapher he lacks one of the qualifica-
tions I consider necessary to the po-
sition."
This is the first time that a knowl-
edge of stenography has been consid-
cred necessary for the position, as
previous executive secretaries have not
been shorthand reporters, and Dean is
the fourth man who has held the po-
sition under Chief Galloway.
Commissioner Topham had an idea
that this was not the only reason why
the chief wanted Dean removed.
"Why did you go to the civil serv-
ice commission and demand that one
of the qualifications for executive sec
retary be a knowledge of stenog-
raphy?" he asked. The chief denied
that he had taken the initiative in
this matter but had suggested it when
asked by the sivil service commission
what should be the qualifications for
such a position.
This is the point on which the chiefs
veracity is questioned.
"I'll vote for this removal" said
Commissioner Davidson, but If I find
that the chief is not telling the truth
I'll be the first to move that he be dis
charged
"And if I find he has not been tell
ing the truth he must either be dis
charged or I'll resign from the COM
mission" responded Commissioner
Johnson.
In response to a written communi-
cation from the civil service commits
sion, asking what qualifications should
be required, the commission voted
three to one to require that the eX-
ecutive secretary have general office
training, the ability to meet the pub
lie and be an efficient stenographer.
Dean held the position on an emer-
gency appointment. as there are no
eligibles on the civil service list, but
the stenography requirement elm
mates him from the examination. The
position pays S175 a month>and is one
Of the most desirable of the clerical
places in the city.
Chief Galloway yesterday afternoon
shortly after o'clock notified Dean
that his services would be no longer
required. In explanation, he handed
Dean the following letter:
Dear Sir: In connection with your
work as executive secretary I wish
to state that your work has been that
Of a conscientious and efficient serv-
ant to the department and it is my
desire that if opportunity offers to be
of service to you.
"The position of executive secretary
to this department, in the opinion of
the chief of police. demands an eff
ticient stenographer and of course you
are not qualified in that capacity.
