FOR TURN HALL
DISTRICT "COPS"

The Police Commission, at its week
ly meeting this afternoon, dismissed
the members of the Police Depart
ment arraigned before them last. meet
ing on charges Of neglect of duty in
connection with Turn Hall case The
men were given reprimand. how
ever. They were Police Captains
Kane and Evans, Street Sergeants Nc
Dermott and White and Patrolmen
McGillion, Serson. Hahn and Lewis.
The board reached decision as fol-
lows.
After carefully considering the evil
dence in these cases. it is the un-
anim0us opinion of the board that the
charges have been sustained. but in
view Of the plea Of the officers that
misunderstanding of their powers in
cases Of this kind prevented them
from taking action, and explained the
incompletness of thir reports, the
board has decided to dismiss the cases
with a reprimand, and a warning that
in the future they, as we'll as all other
officers will be held strictly account
able for all violations of law occurring
on their districts"
There was a story circulated that
the commissioners had at first decid-
cd to denote the street sergeants to
patrolmen, but in view of public senti-
ment had changed their minds. This
was denied by one Of the board this
morning. who said that the commits
sion had from the first, expected only
to reprimand the officers and did not
intend to denote anybody. Tho object
of bringing the men before the COM
mission. he said. was to arouse them
to the duties expected Of them in re-
porting irregularities on their dis
tricts."
