there settled an indescribable pail of sad

Immediately after breakfast, complaining
of a slight pain near her heart, and
although every effort was made to relieve
her she passed away while efforts were
being made to procure physicians. Ply
sicans soon arrived and said that her
death was due to acute indigestion, super
induced by heart trouble from which she
had suffered for some time.
The remains will be inferred this after

EARLY MORNING FIRES
KEEP DEPARTMENT BUSY

There were several fires early yesterday
morning which kept the fire companies
of the department busy putting out the
blazes which in the main were caused by
sparks on the roofs.
1t was estimated that the damage from
the fire at the home of Adolph Beck and
Joe Slaughter, which was caused by
sparks on the roofs, amounted to $500,
although it was reported at first as con-
siderably less. The fire at the home Of
r. W. Roe, S26 Forty-first street, which
was also caused by sparks on the roof.
caused a damage estimated at $500.
The fire at Enon Ridge, in which several
negro houses were partially burned,
caused an estimated loss of about $1,000.
1t is the theory of the firemen that the
fire at Enon Ridge was an incendiary
one.
The Maxwell & Crouch stables, which
were destroyed by fire early Friday
morning. rekindled yesterday morning.
but the firemen arrived quickly on the
scene and extinguished the blaze. There
were several other runs of minor impor-

SOMETHING TO SAY

Judge Lanes statement is as fol-
lows
IL have the assurance of the other
two commissioners the recent changes
and additions in the police department
are in no way an attempt to substitute
new men for old men. without cause.
"At a recent conference / put the
question to the commissioners straight
out, asking them If they intended to
eliminate anyone without cause and
telling them If that was their inten-
tion it coald not be done without the
best fight could put up. | think Chief
Bodeker is splendid official. an ef-
ficient chief and he has performed al
most miraculous work with the few
men he has at his command.
"The last report of the police de-
partment shows the efficient work oil
the department. There were more than
1900 arrests in November and the mum
ber of convictions shows the arrests
were not made witho ut cause. There
were 50 arrests made for vagrancy, and
a large number of arrests for gamb-
ling. The majority oe these arrests re-
suited in convictions.
Il do not like to commercialize the
department and have always insisted
the recorders court is run for the ad
ministration of justice and the preser-
walton of order. but that does not keen
me from calling attention to the fact
that nearly $4,000 was taken in by the
two recorders courts Furthermore
something more than s2500 worth OF
stolen property was recovered.

the conviction of more than 800 men and

COMMISSIONERS IN COMMENT

The story in yesterday mornings Age

sioners caused wide comment yesterday.
The remarkable phase of the comment
remarked on the situation fitted the
names of the same commissioners into
the same positions.

ments In the police department situation
will continue this week

resolutions nominating Mr.. STREET.,

of men under Chief Bodel<er in
charge of the detective department
and the one dispIacing DarnelI ns
second in command. refused to
do So"
Judge Lane issued a statement at the
same time as did Mr.. Ward in which
he said that he believed Bodeker as
good chief as any city had that he
had done as much with a small force
as any man could; that he had been
assured by the other two commission
ers that no more old men on the police
force would be replaced by new men,
unless for cause, and that he intended
to introduce a resolution giving Bod
eker more men to make UP for those
turned over to the detective depart
ment.
Several citizens called upon members
of the commission yesterday and asked
them what were their intentions re-
garding Chief Bodeker. Commissioner
Weatherly stated he told those who
called upon him that he had made no
decision whatever concerning Chief
Bodeker for the simple reason that
