DR.. DUNBA AND HIS
WIFE SAIL FOR HOME

New York, Oct. 6.-Dr. Constantin
T. Dumba, the Austro- Hungarian am
bassador, recalled by his government
at the request OF President Wilson,
sailed today for Rotterdam by the
Holland -America steamship New Am
sterdam, apparently fearful. just be-
fore he boarded the ship, that there
might be q demonstration against him.
He had requested that no visitors or
reporters be permitted to go aboard.
and the line acceded to his desire. He
stopped for a moment at the river
end OF the pier and posed for the
photographers. and later, Win his
wife. was snapshotted again at the raiI
as the liner drew out in the stream.
Before going up the gangplank, Dr.
Dumba said that he would like to give
a farewell message to the American
people, but that he had been instruct
ed by his government not to talk I'M
der any circumstances until after ne
had conferred with his superiors. ana
maybe after that he would be able 70
explain some things that he could not
touch upon now. He finished his MT
tie speech with: II leave with the
k.ndliest feelings, for the big-heartec
American people and their wonderfui
country"
Mrs. I,umba said she hated to leave
America, but that her place was WITH
her. husband. She added that some
day, however. she might return.

Tonight the Greek situation Is one

Acally In favor OF Venizelos.

platform which resulted In his re-

II would appear from the scanty
news 90 far at hand that King Con-

stake everything on the support OF
that cause and to prevent Greece
from aligning Itself with the allies

To His Honor George Ainslie.
Mayor of the City of Richmond.
Sir:
The Vice Commission of the city Of
Richmon' working under appoints
ment by you and an appropriation
by the City Council OF Richmond.
found 1t necessary in its work to se-
cure the testimony Of certain poles
officers. These officers testified, not
of their own accord, but by your di-
rection and under assignment and
command of their chief. That tho
testimony OF these officers was vital
and necessary to the work of the
commission was amply proved by re-
sultN But as the consequence on
their test nony two OF these officers
have been disciplined by the Polica
BOARD. one. Sergeant Shoemaker. haw-s
Ing been reduced to the .anks, thei
other. Sergeant Krengel. having been
dropped from the force.
The Vice Commission desires. first.
to express its deep Indignation at the
action OF the Police Commissioners.
We unqualifiedly condemn Police
Commissioners Goode, Well, Bradley
and Boykin in their action In reducing
Sergeant Shoemaker, and in dropping
Sergeant Ksengel, for the reasons
first, that no charges OF any kind
have been preferred against Sergeant
~ Gncnnd that Uk6}tA
Sergeant Krengel may have cen some
what indiscreet, vet no charges vera
made against him, nor was he given
trial or hearing.
Not Grave Iniiscretion.
Furthermore. the alleged indiscre-
tion was not of such character or
gravity as to warrant the punishment
meted out to him by the board; and
the conclusion Is obvious and un-
deniable that the action taken BY
the commissioners was not so much
actuated by a sincere desire for fhAa
welfare OF the city or the good OF the
force as Il was animated by a per-
sonal feeling on the part Of those
upon whom tho testimony OF these
officers reflected.
We desire to remtnd your
honor OF the conditions under
which these men gave their tcsti-
1NOuy, uhANCAys ny yOST suEcN-NNsHAs
under the command Of their
chief, and under summons Of the
Investigating committee of tho
City Council, which summons
they were not at liberty to dis
obey.
We respecyethly suggest to your
honor that II such action on this
part of the Police Commissioners h
permitted to stand that 1t will inevi-
tally tend to demoralize the entire po-
lice force and seriously affect the
welfare of the city at large.

In the light OF the foregoing facts

TAKES FOURTEEN TO
VOTE TO IMPEACH


Others Believe Votes VIII BE Had.
It was intimated around the streets
and in public places last night that.
notwithstanding the general public de-
mand, there would not be a two-thirds
votes in Council by which to impeach
Commissioner Goode when the oues-
ton comes up at an early meeting OF
Council
The general impression was that,
with one or two exceptions, the vote
would stand as 1t stood when the vote
asking Mr.. Goode to resign was re-
corded. The vote stood nine to seven.
A two-thirds vote 10 fourteen. The
question Is, will there be enough Coun-
cilmen change from their original ,ote
to make fourteen?
A statement was made last night
that Lee and Clay Wards would be
solidly aEatnst Goode. 1t was gen.
orally conceded that Jefferson Ward
and part Of Madison Ward would
be with him.
When the first resolution from the
investigating committee was reported.
Mr.. English fought valiantly against
its adoption. He fought. as he said.
