BRIGHT DAY FOR K0HLER
Charges Against Best Police
Chief" Not Proved.

Cleveland, June The second day OF
the trial Of Fred" Kohler. Cleveland s
hest police chief" on charges of immoral
itv. intoxication and INSTRUMENTATION, was
decidedly bright one for the defence.
Early in the hearing the prosecution put
on the stand its star witness, woman,
who was expected to prove the charges OF
immortality. In substance all the testimony
that this woman gave was that she had
once seen Chief Kohler drinking wine in
a disorderIy house.
The next most important witness was
Patrick J. Brown. former policeman at
Muncie. Ind. and one of the two men who
signed the charges against the accused
official Brown complained that on one
occasion when his automobile had been
stolen KofIer had refused TO listen to his
complaint and had ordered him out Of his
office. On cross-examination he admitted
that he had bet money on the result Of the
trial and that he had also made a bet
of 500 in January thar-he would get Kohler
yet
Several witnesses testified to having seen
Kohler intoxicated on different occasions,
but the evidence was CONTRADICTORY and in
certain cases cause for aninus was shown.
Three policemen who took the stand were
nroved to have been punished or degraded
nv the chief on one or more charges

FAVOR POOR OVER ZEBRAS
Protest Against scrimping in
Charities Department.

When the Board of Estimate held a hear
ing yesterday on the new corporate stock
budget the heads of most of the depart
ments expressed themselves as satisfied
that the best that could be done for them
had been done, considering the pressure on
all sides. But there was a vigorous protest
on the part of the Department of Charities.
Commissioner Drumnond said he really
needed s2, 040. 700 for the proper maintenance
Of that department, whereas the corporate
stock budget committee had cut him down
to sl.7s4 424 Former Commissioners Heb
bard and Folks were there to back up what
Mr.. Drummond said.
Mr.. Folks declared that IT might be bet
ter to cut out the money CS250,000) allowed
to the Department Of Parks for new
zebra house and a lagoon than TO scrinp
in the Charities Department
Let US protect the city's poor he said,
before we spend money for the shelter of
animals
Corporation Counsel Watson has rendered
an opinion that the steps taken by the
last board to appropriate sa14.0Oo for sites
for Carnegie libraries had not obligated the
city TO go ahead with the appropriation It
is likely that this item. therefore. will be
cut out Of the budget, as It is the opinion
of a ma jority Of the board that schools
and subways are more urgently needed at
the moment.

less expense than the plan advocated by
President Mitchell Of the Board Of Alder
men TO construct q wading pool on one Of
The biz meadows in the park Comulis-
sioner- Slower said he mad been advised
that the loss o. these two reservoirs 10 the
cirv's water supply would not make any

Srover followed his tour Of the park with
Borough President NcAneny and Mr..
Mitchell
According 10 the plans of the Park Com
missioner. the fences around the reservoirs
should be levelled- The smaller Of the two

reservoir, at least part Of il would be used

When asked r the city needed the two
smaller reservoirs Commissioner ThoInp-
son Of the Department OF Water Supply.

II looked last night as though the meet

dav. would be an exceedingly tame affair
The plan of Charles F. Murphy. leader OF

II ANYBODY intends 70 make fight or

a fight against his selection would be
foolish.
George z. Van Kennan, Of St Lawrence
County viii be chosen secretary. 70 succeed
Winfield A Huppuch. Arthur A. Mclean
will be reelected treasurer, and John A

There seemed 70 be little interest in the
meeting among those members of the com
mittee who were IN town. last night
As they arrived they asked what basis
there was for the run1ors that Mr. Conners
intended TO test his strength as against
that Of Murphy. When they found that
these stories were flights Of fancy many OF
them went off 70 the theatre.
Denies Anti Murphy Plan

friend Of Mr. Conners. when seen at the

proxies for the meeting to-morrow. Mr.
Conners does not know Of any reason why
he should not stick to his agreement made
at Albany. 70 retire ar the expiration Of his
term 3"
II is true that agents Of William Ran
dolph Hearst have been tndustrtously try
ing TO foment trouble between Corners
and Murphy again. but apparently their ef-
forts have made little impression. II was
the hope of Mr.. Hearst that he would have
the support Of the Conners faction in the
organization Of an independent movement
this fall For that reason he viewed with
disappointrent the truce that was ar
ranged between the leaders from opposite
ends Of the state Representatives. Of Nj
Hearst were still active last night, but no
body seemed unduly excited about II.
II is not likely that the Democrats will
miss the chance tomorrow to fire a few
broadsides at the Republican party in the
way Of resolutions, just by way Of start
ing off the fall campaign. II is said that
