 Mayor Says Detectives Are Unneees- sary.
 Mayor T. C. Murphy in a statement made Friday evening relative to the l bringing of a force of detectiyes to
 this city by the trolley c6mpanv for I the protection of life and property de- clared that 1t was entirely unneces- 1 saTy. The city has plenty of police 1 protection and is able to handle the
 situation without such a step as this | being taken. He considered the action I unjust and declared that the city did
 not ask for outside aid. It gives the Il impression that the city is not able to
 handle any trouble which is likely to occur which is not the case Tn nak-
 
 with considerable feeling.
