FALSE ALARM At
BOARD MEETING
Ex-rIREMAN MAKES CHARGE
WHICH ARE NOT SUSTAINED
CAPT. TAYLOR RE-ENLIsTED.

Just as the IRE board was about 10
adjourn last night Councilman Fred
Powell spfHhs small s-~setieH-
requesting the board to hear petit
ton from W. f. Harris, fireman, who
had been dropped at the recent reor-
ganization of the department.
Mr.. Powell said that he understood
the board had dropped Mr.. Harris at
the suggestion OF Captain Chasie, be.
cause of certain personal matters in
which the two had become involved.
The board readily opened the case, and
in doing so started things going Tor
about two hours in which IL looked
bad for a few minutes for several OF
the officers of the department. out
which after all the testimony had been
heard did not look so bad.
Harris felt agrieved. and he thought
that he had been dropped because he
had refused to accommodate his cap
tain with the loan of 500 some time
ago 1t appeared from the evidence
presented by number of firemen that
Harris had been in the habit of loan
ing money to many of the men con-
nected with the department.
He stated on the stand that Captain
Chasie had asked him for the loan of
the money. and after he had refused
the captains actions toward him
changed
Captain Chasie denied that he had
ever asked Harris to lend him any
thing
Other members of the department
were implicated by Harris in his eff
forts to convince the board that he
had not been treated right but the
| cumulative evidence protected them,
and upon the motion of Commissioner
Lecky. the charge against Captain
Chasie was dismissed and the board
went on record as having nothing
against the personal character of Har-
ris, but felt that he would not make
a good fireman.
Before this fash, the board re elected
President Charles r. Taylor, and made
Captain l. c. Jenkins. vice president.
