not love. King overhears Colonel Dens-

WHO STOLE POLICE
COMMISSIONERS ROLL?

NEW YORK: Aug. 30.-The ques-
tion OF who got Police Commissioner
waldo's wallet divided interest with
the developments In the police graft
situation today. Despite deniais It
was learned that a few nights ago a
dip" slashed the hip pocket OF the
chubby head OF the police. running a
perfectly good pair Of trousers and
getting a wallet containing consider
able cash and valuable papers. Every
effort Of the detective bureau to To-
cate the thief failed.
There was much interest today in
the trial OF Police Capt. Cornelius @.
Hayes. denoted from the rank OF In
spector because he asserted Waldo
had directed him not to raid disorder
ly houses, without specific orders.
II was stated that when Justice
Goff assumes charge of the extraor-
binary term of the supreme court or
dered by Gov. Dix next week. to clean
up the graft cases, Whitman will
move that all of the murder charges
be transferred TO his court.
