O'KEEFE ON CARPET
Well Known Supernumerary Police man Asked to Explain Why He Did Not Turn Money Into City Treasury.

Dennis O'Keefe, a well known su pernumerary policeman who is doing duty regularly, was called before Chief w. J. Rawlings this afternoon to ex- plain why he did not turn certain money into the office of the city treas ury as required by police regulations and city ordinance.
 As Chief Rawlings explains the af- fair, the fee for supernumerary duty at private affairs has been raised to $2.5O per job. Of this amount $2 is the officers fee and the fifty cents goes in to the city treasury as provided by a recent ordinance. The first of the month this new rule became effective
 According to complaints at head quarters, Officer O'Keefe, after doing his last private job returned with his S95O and kept it all. The other su- pernumeraries when paid by the par Jties for whom they were working, turned the money in at headquarters that the fifty cents might be deducted. Not so with OKeefe, it is said. Those ln charge at the station when he came In declare that he refused to give up the fifty cents and declared he would not until he had to. The other police man understands that the ordinance demands this additional fifty cents and that it is not theirs, but evidentally O'Keefe does not. At any event. he will explain to the chief, if he can.
