CHARGE AGAINST
CHIEF OF POLICE
Head of Kearny Force Accused
of Neglecting His Duty
at Fire.

For the second time in a little more
than three years Chief of Police VIII
lam Tolen, of Kearny. is to be ar
raigned ON charges. The latest COM
plaint was made last night by Council
man william Davis. Neglect of duty
is the specified charge. Councilman
Walter r.. Chapman, chairman of the
police committee, has the matter now
in hand and will set a date for a hear
ing. The chief will be asked to explain
his actions at a fire on March II at
Bergen avenue and Chestnut street,
which resulted in the death of Mrs.
Rebecca Brown.
In his charges Councilan Davis sets
forth tina Tolen violated Rule 26 of
the police department regulations.
Among other things the complaint says
that Tolen did not take charge of the
police present at the fire in question,
nor did he use any exertion to save
property"
From the stories told 1t appears that
officials of the fire department sent
word to Tolen on the day Of h fire
to send a policeman to the place. Tolen
is reported to have sent back word
that a policeman had no business
there. Councilman Davis, who was
present, directed Detective-Sergeant
Walter Oliver to detail a mar at the
place and Patrolman Bell was in
struoted by Oliver to remain there.
Mrs. Brown, who kept a store at the
address, had been taken to a hospital
and a relative. who is an epileptic, was
left alone in the store. Patrolman Bell
saw to 1t that nothing was disturbed
and he helped care for the boy. Chief
Tolen. Ii seems, appeared on the scene
and is said to have declared that Bell
had no business at the place, but
should be making his rounds. Davis
took exception to this. The latter is
reported to have reiterated in the pres
once of Davis and others that the
police had no business at the fire.
1t was in october, 1908, that Tolen
was previously arraigned before the
council. At that time he was charged
with having beaten Archibald Adams,
16 years old, of I Highland avenue,
Kearny. He was suspended before the
hearing, but was later reinstated.
When asked today about the charges,

prohibiting Montclair, Orange and East

plant in the Soho section of Belleville
and Bloomfield, many prominent resi-
dents of the three first named munich

build a plant within one of their OWL,
towns. The bill awaits the signature
of Governor Wilson to become a law.
Councilman Henry T. Stetson. chair
man Of the legislative committee OF the
Orange Common Council, declared he
and his colleagues would have to give
the matter thorough consideration te-
fore making any statement as 60 their
plans.
Mayor Hinck, however, was frm in
his assertion hat he did not believe
Montciair, Orange and East orange
would enter the trunk W pact. not
w~ithstanding the passing of the Beard
bill. We will find some way to light
this thing he concluded.
Councilman Edward F.. Pierson, OF
East Orange, who Is chairman OF the
Joint sewer disposal committee OF East
Orange. Orange and Montclair, said
the passage of the bill was not unex-
pected. I'VE bear no hard feelings
toward our neighboring towns who
fought Tor its passage" he said. THE
fact that the bill has passed does not
mean that we will be forced into the
Passaic valley drainage scheme. We
will never enter the pact until we get
a square DEAL" Neither Mayor Julian

Aiken B.. Seymour, of Orange, would
discuss the matter.
