 OF AN ARRAIGNMEN7
MUCH SPECULATION AS TO SOURCE OF AUTHORITY OF BURNS MEN-TWO WOMEN FORFEIT BONDS TO-DAY
 MORE CASES CONTINUED

Without even being arraign- ed before the Board of Police Commissioners, Superintendent of Police John H. Redgate, was temporarily suspended from duty last night, and Assistant Superintendent Charles A. SuckEey appointed to the posi- iOn of chief. pro tenn.
 This action was taken following a lengthy meeting of the Police Board, during which, it is said, the conduct of at least two other high officers of the force and a number of patrolrnen was also under investigation
 This is the most startling step which has occurred as the result of the wholesale raids which were con- ducted by Burns Detective Agency men in this city, Saturday night, and in police circles today there is much speculation as to where the axe will fall next.
 It was stated by one of the police commissioners today, that Supt- Red gate was not arraigned before the board yesterday and that no charges have as yet been brought against him.
 'rhe superintendent has been tenn porarfly suspended. pending the re7 suit of the investigation which is now ! under way,'' said the commissioner. FtIt is impossible to state at this time 1 whether Saperint ntendent Redgate viA arraigned for a hearing before the police board inasnuch as it is not known whether the investigation will amount to a mountain or a rroIehEl- '' A.o4i1 ,4o,, Sl, l Suczley declared this morning that he had no statement to make regarding the situation

 It was stated today by one polio official, that all of the places raide' by the Burns men on Saturday night

 Many of the persons arrested hay
 police records, and, their places c
