in attempting to take Chief Seymours place
The effect of the decision is to make both
chiefs legal. AS there is no court or COM
mission order ousting Chief Seymour, the
city is blessed with two chiefs
The police muddle was given a double
shake when A. d. Cutler, deposed police
commissioner, made formal demand that
he be restored to office, President Gold
berg OF the police commission said the
Cutler matter would be taken under con-
sideration until Monday at 10 o'clock.
The commission met this morning for
the purpose of trying Chief Of Police John
seymour, who was suspended by Mayor
mccarthy, but in view of the fact that
superior Judge seawell's prohibitivs writs
were still in force, they adjourned without
taking action in the matter.

REWARD MONEY TO OFFICERS
Fire and Police Commission Follows
suggestion of Chief FrOOm ard
Changes It's Plan.

Council Bluffs police officers will here
after get all of the rewards earned In
the capture of criminals and the other
things for which rewards are offered The
Board Of Fire and Police Commissioners
held meeting yesterday morning and
decided to use the discretion given by the
decision of Judge Green and order the
distribution OF the rewards among the
men. instead of following the practice
of turning all such money into the police
pension fund. ..
The matter has been before the courts
since last spring when Captain Shafer in
stttuted friendly suit seeking a court
Interpretation Of the law creating the pen,
sion funds for the fire and police depart
ments. The law was somewhat ambiguous
and apparently directed the pension bureau
to take charge OF all police rewards and
hold them for distribution as pensions.
Chief of Police Froom as custodian or the
fund, held this view and ordered ali re-
wards to be so disposed. When the matter
was considered by the commissioners they
sought to follow middle course and d.
rected the chief to hold up half of the
rewards for the benefit of the fund and
return the other half TO the men of the
department earning II. 1t was this phase
OF the case that was presented to Judge
Green. The contention OF Captain Shafer
and the men was that all or none should
go to the pension fund Judge Green's de-
cision left the matter wholly in the hands
Of the commissioners as the plainest in
depreciation of the law. 1he decision WAS
rendered early last spring and the COM
missioners have taken no action until
now.
There perhaps would have been no fur.
Their consideration had II not been for a
vigorous opinion from the Judge advocate
of the military post at Fort Crook. Sew
eral rewards for the capture of deserters
from the army were sent to the DEPART
ment to be paid to the men. These went
into the general fund and the fudge adyo
Gates attention was called to IT, He at
once realized that It was not in accordance
with the purpose OF the rewards. which
was to spur the officers to a Jealous dis
charge OF their duties, and declared that
such a disposition of the money would
not be approved by the United States
courts and offered to procure an opinion
from federal Judge.
1t was when this view of the matter
was presented to the commissioners that
the decision was reached to let each man
have the benefits OF his own work. There
were strong arguments on the other side
1t was pointed out that only the members
OF the detective force and a small favored
few could have the opportunity to make
arrests where rewards were promised and
that the majority Of the pRtromen could
receive no benefit from money thus
earned unless 1t came through the pension
fund.
