Police Officers Ask To Be Heard and Request Is
 Granted by the
 C0unCiImen. ARE WORSE THAN LIES Chief Harding and Dan Harrington Each Make Statement and De-
 mand Inquiry.
RE WORSE THAN LIES

The City Council has determined to give an early hearing in which the charges in the affidavits read by Mayor Emery Valentine last night will be heard, and those charged giy- .en the opportunity they ask to meet them by sworn testimony. Chief-of- Police w. s. Harding, Policeman Dan Harrington and others have asked for such a hearing, and they have been promised that it will be given them.
 Harding Wants To Refute Charges
 Chief of Police Harding said to The Empire this morning that there is not a word of truth behind single charge that has been made against him. 'I will welcome an opportun- ity to tell the whole story, and re- view some of the difficulties the po- lice has had with those who have made affidavits. The most serious of the charges are bare-faced lies. and the others are so distorted that they are even worse than lies
 Harrington Denies Charges
 "I never knew that such man as F. J. Breezy existed until I heard of the charge that was contained in a purported affidavit from him read by Mayor Valentine last night said Po- liceman Harrington. ''l never saw him or talked to him or his wife. I never entered his house without warrant or with one.
 'The statement of William Layton was absolutely false. l never arrest ed any one in his house, in front of it. or near it. The things he swears against me never took place"
 Mir. Harrington also refuted the charges of Fred Alexander and Wal ter Johnson, and wants hearing so that he can tell the truth about them under oath.
 Police officers and members of the City Council have determined that the people of Juneau have a right to know all about the charges that have been made and the source of them, and they will give the necessary op- portunity for them to be presented in such manner as they may be prov ed without any one being guilty of libel or islander.

 Authority Should
 Choose Defenders

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Presi- dent Wilson in letter to Represen- tative Guy T. Helvering. of Kansas, defending and explaining selective conscription says: "The principle of the selective draft. in short has at its heart this idea that there is a universal obligation to serve and that a public authority should choose those upon whom the obligation of military service shall rest. Public authority therefor, should choose those who shall do the rest of tho nations work.
