There were no evidences of foul nl..

sition is that the man either delibera,elv
jumped into the river with suicidal in.
tent or fell into the water while SUFFERING
from aphasia. Those who incline TO Tho
theory that Gibson might have met with
foul play point to the fact that the money
and jewclry Gibson had when he disan.
peared were missing when the body was
found. Coroner Healy has ordered an
autopsy.
Gibson. who nailed from the little town
of greensboro, Ky. was forty-two wears
old and married. He and his ~ifeslived

None Surprised at Grating.

wears came out. The rest was Of years

the enforcement Of the law by the Po-

pie, by selling their places and putting
them out Of business.
AS soon as their houses were seized
they began 10 mako disclosures. No
disclosure was made in any other way.
And yet because these few grafters
have been disclosed the whole force
has been numerically attacked These
four little aldermen have caused wit

Attacks the Aldermanic Friends.

There arc some honorable men In
that board who would not stand for
such base thing. And these four pitt
ful little political fellows think they are
doing some great campaign work for
next fall. Let them wait and see. They
want IN have Waldo removed. They
had better pass a resolution removing
themselves. and stink out Of sight. Poor
little fellows! Mentally and morally
Waldo could carry whole carload Of
them in his brooches pocket without
knowing that they were there.
Just look at this statement in this
report which says that when written
complaints come in from citizens ac-
cusing inspectors and captains Of
wrongdoing the course is TO refer the
TO the officer accused TO in
yestisate himself. Just think of an IN
famous falschood like that being put
In an official document. There never
was any such thing in the Police De-
partment. even In its worst days. ]

ton Of law is going on. OF course
these complaints are sent TO the cap
tain and the Inspector to investigate
and report on. What else could hc
done with them? But the inycstiga-
ton does not end there. Many Of these
complaints were read IN evidence be-
fore the aldcrmanic committee, to-
gcthor with the fact that they were
referred to the inspector or the CAP
tain, but this lying report is that they
were complaints charging the Inspector
or captain with wrongdoing and that
they were referred to the accused Of
ficcr to investigate himself

1T is hardly credible that four men
would be got TO utter such a falschood.
