the charge that he was the victim
of conspiracy in connection with a
strike of his drivers which took place

that the men are allowed commits
sions which bring their wages up TO
considerably more than the union
scale.

local Transfers Union, and who adj
mits that he is on the pay roll of the

his son, Charles Jennings. to cause
the strike.

conduct shown himself unfit for of
fee" Police Commissioner Waldo
smiled and said that he had neither
resigned nor been removed
There's a permanent rumor of my
resignation" he said, but refused to
comment further on the report.
The police commissioner is busy
on detailed replies to each of several
charges brought against him, and 1t
Is possible that they may be issued
today.

against him are:
He has failed to exercise his powers
or to employ the means at his COM
mand to prevent a widespread sys-
tenn of blackmail and extortion by
certain of his subordinates-State-
ment is false. No widespread system
of blackmail or extortion. That be-
lief mainly a theory
He has permitted police officers
charged with grating to investigate
the complaints against themselves
without making independent investi-
gation-Only in minor cases. lnde-
pendent investigation made in all i'm
portant cases.
He has failed to discipline inspec-
tors who were either inefficient or
significantly inactive-Could not get
sufficient proof on such inspectors.
He has failed to inform himself as
to crime conditions in the city, and
departmental reports on this line are
inaccurate and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
He has allowed commanding Off
GERS to make any disposition they
chose of complaints made to them by
citizens-Absurd.
He has appointed men to the force
who swore falsely upon their appli-
cations-Up to the Civil Service Com
mission.
He has impaired the efficiency OF
the detective bureau by frequent
transfers, abolition of the lineup,
and destruction of Rogues Gallery

NEEDLESS TASK DONE in
DRAWING A JURY PANEL
Especial to the Newark start


PATERSON, N. j.. June 3.-Com-
plications arising under the new Fiel-
der law have made the task of the
sheriff, county clerk and court in
drawing jury trial useless one. 1t
counts for nothing and must be done
over again before the next term of
court.
The sheriff acted because he feared
that he would be charged with negli-
gence If the panel were not drawn.
When the advice of the court. Judge
Klenert, was sought, he, who had not
seen the new law, decided to continue
the old panel for two weeks.
Judge Klenert and County Counsel
De Yoe believe the two jury laws con-
flict. The one law states that the
Judge shall have the power to dis
charge the jurors every other week
and that new jurors shall be drawn
to take their places. But the Fielder
law provides that the jury shall be
drawn fifteen days before the court
sits.
