he could to assist members of the

when the high cost of living was felt
by them, and many things were per-
mitted which otherwise might not
have been overlooked. He said he had
no objection to men performing duties

MAYOR OF RICHMOND
DEFENDS HIS RECORD
Resents Criticism Of Grand Jury
That City Is Degenerate
With Vice.

RICHMOND. Va. June 2s.-Mayor
Ainslie today made his first formal
reply to censure of him in the report
of the grand jury which recently
recommended the removal of several
members Of the police force.
His statement declares that his con-
sistent attitude has been for law en-
forcement, so far as the realization of
that object is humanity possible. The
mayor resents the charge that Rich
mond is degenerate with vice, gam
bling and bootlegging.
Mayor Ainslie asserts that the chief
fault found with him by the grand
jury sums up in his dismis issal Of r. B.
Sowell as chief Of police Tor what is
termed slight indiscretion." He re-
plies that Sowelrs inf1rmity of judg-
ment was grave. uniting him for the
functions Of chief of police.
He thinks the statement that 1000
arrests for violations of laws respect
ing gambling. bootlegging and vice
made in three years is not a mean
record.
The mayor adds that the city char
ter does not require him to do the
work Of the chief Of police, but gives
the head of the force a free hand in
dealing with men of the department.
