MONEY OFFERED

Charge Made by Alderman But

Especial to The Times Dispatch.l
Norfolk Va, March l0.--Aldernan
Hugh Butler, identified with the anti
organization faction OF the Democratic
party, created a stir at to-niGhts meet
Ing OF the Board OF Aldermen, when he
made statements rejecting on the sin
cerity OF the aldermanic committee In.
vestigating the conduct or the police
department.
He opposed a resolution approprint-
ing $1,000 10 defray the expense OF tho
investigation, and Incidentally declared
he had seen an affidavit in which II
was stated that n certain person had
been offered money 81 he would testify
TO certain things.
Messrs. Christie. Markell and O'Dea
members OF the committee. were on
their feet in an instant and demanded
of Mr. Butler the name OF the party
VINO made such an affidavit and where
the paper could he found \ resolution
was offered to force Mr Butler TO give
the Aldermen the informntion but he
declared he would not divulge II under
any circumstances. 4 resolution was
then offered and adopted calling upon
Mayor Mayo nj once to begin action
TO learn the name OF the party and
VINO made the affidavit and where the
paper could be found.
Alderman Markell declared the paper
was probably one of several being cir
culated to hinder the committee in its
work.

says the committee offered TO pay any
body to testify tells a malicious lie" ho
declared. Every possible thing is be-

Alderman Butler declared he had no
intention of rejecting on the commit
tee. but he did not think they had
treated Police Captain Ford. one OF the
men under charges. fairly. He said
they admitted everything against Ford
and no evidence in his favor.
The police investigation Is certain to
split the organization faction OF the
Democratic party. The Trehy-Joynes
faction Is reported to be against the
Investigation, while tho Prince faction
is In favor OF 81.
