Immoral Purposes.

On trial before the board of fire and
police commissioners last night on the
charge OF owning ano renting two houses
for immoral purposes, Emory r. Smith. a
colored member of the police force, was
found guilty and dismissed from the de-
partment.
Smith was first implicated by the
charge of Erwin Griffin, who complained
to the police that he had bought beer and
heen robbed of a sum OF money in q house
at 615 South Fifteenth street owned by
Smith and in charge OF Mrs. Nellie Doug
las, who was presumably running a board
ing house.
The officer had a large number Of wit
nesses and put up a strong case, but the
board was in possession of an incriminat-
ing letter from the woman's husband IN
Kansas City.
a spirited controversy between Commits
sioners Hoye and Karbach marked the
close OF the long drawn out meeting. Mr..
Hoye found fault with the latter because
he had appeared before the city council
and argued against the purchase Of a new
automobile under the present shortage of
funds.
why didn't you come out like a man
when the matter was up before u.s." he
said, instead of waiting around and
going at 1t like you did. You voted for II
here"
II did not" said Mr.. KarbAoh. "I kept
silent"
We'll, silence gives consent" was the
answer, and the matter ran on into per-
sonalities for some time before It stopped.

trustees of the village of Dundee that the
resolutions sent them some time ago de-
nying them the fire protection Of the
Omaha department would be strictly car
