REMOVE MARSHAL
COMMITTEE TO REPORT
CHARGES AGAINST CANADA
NOT INVESTIGATED BY
COUNCIL COMMITTEE.

That city councils in cities of the
second class are without power to
remove or suspend marshal was
the decision reached by the judiciary
committee to whom charges of neg
lect of duty upon the part of City
Marshal w. II. Canada were referred
at the April 20 meeting of the coun-
ell The judiciary committee, at a
meeting late yesterday afternoon,
were advised by City Attorney C. E.
Condray that there is no statute un-
der which marshal may be i'm
peached by the council, and that the
only method by which such an officer
may be removed is through an in
dictment by the grand jury, for non
feasance or malfeasance in office.
This would have the effect of sus-
pending the marshal until the case
was tried and if a conviction followed
the indictment it would permanently
remove him from the office.
Under these circumstances the
committee decided to make no inves-
tigation of the charges contained in
a resolution adopted by the council
against Mr.. Canada and will report
as above stated.
The council will meet tonight in
the office of Mayor Frank Jones.
