POLICE COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL
HOLDS IMPORTANT MEETING
Chief Of Department and Officials
Summoned TO Testify-Thorough
investigation Promised.

The meeting OF the police commit
tee of the city council in the Office of
the city auditor last evening was one
of the most interesting and exciting
ever held by that committee. At this
meeting the charges made against
the police department were taken up
and each charge was given special
attention. Charges were made against
the police ranging from assault and
battery TO threatening to shoot Citi-
zens, and the committee made ar
rangement in each case for a careful
Investigation.
The meeting was called TO order by
Chairman Chew. and the following
members We're present. Brand. Wag-
ner, Hawkins and Beisinger. As the
committee had not held a meeting
since the charges of the Hestons
against Chief Leyland were made.
this matter was the first to be taken
up by the committee. Chairman
Chew asked City Solicitor Rrennen TO
state TO the committee the proper pro-
cedure in this case. Solicitor Bren-
men stated that an affidavit must be
filed before council and that council
could then refer the matter to the
committee or take up the matter as a
committee. He further recommended
that the parties who preferred the
charges be brought before the police
committee for Investigation and then
the matter be put before the council.
Attorneys Sommerville and Nesbitt
appeared on behalf OF Chief Leyland.
and when asked by the chairman il
they wished 10 say anything In the
matter. Mr.. Sommerville stated that
they were prepared TO refute any
charges made against the chief 4

Probably the most important mat

MY folks thought 1t was coffee that

Finally, the folks stopped buying

He sat alone before his crate
And musing watched the leaping flames
The night was cold, the hour was late,
The windows ratified In their frames;
But warmth was in the room a book
Lay open on his knees; his chair
Was deep and soft. and by his look
You might have guessed his dreams
We're fair.
MY ventures have gone we'll" he said;
My profits have been large today;
I've caused no man TO sit in dread
I've filched no others rights away;
My dealings have been fair and just.

Nowhere have / betrayed trust
Or put another's hopes to flight"
His open book slipped to the floor.
And presently he was aware,
Though no one had nnlatched the door,
That Some One stood beside him there:
The peace that had been in his breast
Forsook him as he sat and gazed
At his mysterious white-robed guest;
He. was affrighted and amazed

Success has journeyed at your side;
The profits you have made are vast,
And in your heart is selfish pride.P

FAY there was much you did not do.
You heard no hungry orphans pleas:
Fhe sick, the lame. the widowed, too
What thought had you for such as
these?"
The flames that had so brightly played
Died to feeble, Pickering spark;
The rich man sat alone, afraid
Because the night was cold and dark.

NEAT AND DURABLE
SERVING APRON IS
NOT HARD TO MAKE

A SERVING apron must be made to
n stand weekly tubing at least, and
substantial materials are the only kind
worth making up. A good and not
very sheer India linen is used In the
apron which appears In the illustra.
tion, and the lace is strong cotton
weave with square mesh and figure.
The bib and apron are cut IN one
piece, with the shoulder pieces cut
long enough to reach to the belt In the
back. The ties are long enough to
make bow with short ends.
After the apron has been cut out the
insertion Is basted to the right side.
Then the fabric underneath 1t is split
and turned back. Over the raw edges
bias tape Is basted and then machine
stitched down. This covers the raw
