SAFETY BOARD TO
TRY OFFICERS FOR
NEGLECT OF DUTY
Chief Kline's Two Sleuths
Bungle Testimony Badly
at Hearing.

Charges of neglect of duty. filed
by Chief Kline against Patrolmen
Edward Z. Mccormick and Emmett
l.. Baxter, Will be considered by the
board of public safety at its meet
ing this afternoon.
Telling the truth is the only
charge which PatrOlman Mccormick
says should be made against him.
This crime has resulted in the dis
missal from the force Of other pa
trOlmen under CHEZ Kline's admin
istration, and little doubt is held but
what two more patrolmen will soon
be added 10 the list of Chief K1ine's
goats.
Two Sleuths.
The charges resulted from some
special detective work done by
Kline's latest aIpointees. Officers
Mcintyre and Aszklar Mcintyre
was put on the force to replace Mo
torcycle Officer Barney Tholander
after that officer had been made the
goat by Kline for the Jagla-Annis
affair. AszSlar was appointed as a
patrolman. but was sent out sleuth-
ing with Mcintyre because the pair.
being new TO police work, would not
be recognized as policemen.
AsZklar and Mcintyre testified I'm
city coure Wednesday morning that
they bought liquor In the "soft
drink" saloon of Sidney Lewis. 1882
w. Washington av They said that
two strangers" whom they did not
recognize. were in the place.
officer Mccormick was called 20
the stand by Lewis. and readily ad-
mitted that he and Baxter were in
the place in full uniform when the
two sleuths came in. He stated that
Casmier BOinski Lewis bartender.
refused TO sell the sleuths any Ii
quor.
Testimony Mixed.
The testimony Of AsZklar and Nc
Intwye failed to agree on several
points, and gave the address as 1925
w washington av., which is not the
Lewis place, but is Tom O'Neills
T lace Of business. Lewis was ac-
quilted and Boinski was given a sus-
pended sentence, due TO the contra
dictory evidence furnished by the
two detectives.
Patrolman Mccormick is the same
officer who incurred the displeasure
OF Chief Kline by testifying in the
Tony Barrett case that the liquor
captured in the raid OF the Owl sa
loon, owned by Barrett was genuine
liquor.
He is not the first patrolman to
get called on the chiefs carpet by
testifying against Tony Barrett.
Arthur Lovgren was dismissed from
the force last fall for bringing Tony
Barrett's name into the Bert Miller
hearing. testifying that Barrett
came in his automobile and took
away from the police station three
gallons of whisky taken in a pre-
vious raid. I1Ovgren was not charg-
ed with being implicated in the re-
moval and sale OF liquor taken from
the bull-pen, but was dismissed just
the same at Chief kline's request.

syrup as a substitute. This serious food
condition, coupled with reports that
80 900 men are idle, have caused the city
council to telegraph the railroad labor
board at Washington asking for quick
action on the mems demands.
