Learning that rumors are current that
he has paid the salary Of "Too BAD
Jack ? Kalakiela out of the lately ereat.
cd police court revolving fund. " aud
that intimations have been made that
an investigation may be conducted to
determine in what way and for what
purposes this money has been expended,
sheriff Charles Rose Invited an audit Of
the books of his department yesterday,
aud at the same time registered a yigor-
Gus denial TO the rumOr. II
Out Of the generosity Of his heart and
the depth Of his purse "Too Bad Jack I
has from time to time received money
from the sheriff, personally, but he has
gotten nothing out Of the revolving
fnnd--not cent, says Rose. t
Z The rumors that Jack was draining
this fund, which is primarily for infor-
mers, has been spreading persistently,
but il was not until yesterday that the
sheriff s attention was called TO il.
Supervisor Wolter Gives Warning
Shortly before this occurred, Super
visor Wolter was seen rushing for the
police station. and his oratorical voice
was heard warning Rose against being
absent from the meeting Of the super-
visors last evening. Wolter had eoneeiv.
ed the idea that the board would sit as
an impeaching body and try Rose on
charges preferred by the civil service
commission.
While such a proceeding has been
hnted at aAd may materialize later, "
the sheriff refuses to meet the orders u
the civil service commission, no plan
was under way for such proceedings to
be started last night, officials say, WHIT
smile over Wolter 3 excitement.
In denying the rumor regarding Kali
akeila s salary, Sheriff Rose perhaps
made his first full statement on his
theory Of the rights and jurisdiction Of
