Of acquittal in two cases against At

ing, finishing up tire series Of charges
which have been pending against Nc
Bride as a result of several arrests
last summer for alleged violations OF
the speed and traffic ordinances.
Mcbride was acquitted by the jury
in Circuit Judge Ashford's court on
two OF these q week ago, and he was
tried on the remaining two today, the
evidence being brief and both disposed
of well before noon.
In the first case today Mcbride was
accused OF violating the ordinance by
driving his car after dark without a
tail-Iight burning. Officers w. Il. Chill
ton and William b. Ferry, who appear
ed as the complaining witnesses, were
the only witnesses for the prosecution.
They testified that they stopped Nc
Bride at Kalakaua avenue and King
street on the evening of July "a on

his machine After stopping him Chill

defendant testified he had turned all
his electric lights on from the small
dynamo in the car, before leaving a
downtown saloon for Waikiki. and that

PUTS RESPONSIBILITY

II don't intend TO bunco this town by
Colonel Cocktails here as Police Commits
sioner and then consent 10 having that

him from coming"
That was the reason given by Mayor
Mitchell yesterday for deciding not to

who conferred with him on Monday. Ten
Of the thirteen men at that conference
promised to support the measures il
amended so as TO give the board OF review
power 10 reinstate policeman dismissed
from the department by the Police Com
missioner TO order a new trial or to affirm
the decision OF the Commissioner.
Although the legislators were willing
that the Mayor should have the power TO
veto the action OF the board of review. he
did not think il wise TO hamper the Com
missioner even TO that extent. As al
ready amended the board Of review, con-
sisting vf a member OF the Civil Service
Commission. 2 member OF the force APP
pointed by the Board Of Estimate and a
civilian selected by the Mayor, would have
power only 70 recommend 70 the Mayor

siOner.

bring Colonel Goethals here, Of that | am
satisfied" said the Mayor However. !
have decided that the proposed amend
ments would crcumscribe the power OF
the Commissioner too greatly
In effect the Mayor said he would stand
pat on the bills as they now are. lie
feels that the responsibility Of acting upon
them now rests entirely upon the Lesis-
lature.
The board OF review, as provided in
the bills" added the Mayor, will give
members Of the force greater freedom OF
review than a writ Of certiorari before the
Appellate Division. There they can pro-
duce no new evidence. But " they have
any new witnesses they may present them
before the board OF review. They may
be rcpresented before the Commissioner by
counsel. and their trial would be conduct
cd in accordance with all the rules Of evi-
dence."

fered the Police Commishionership TO any

sure that Mr. Perkins would bear him
