DEMAND MAYOR
 MAKE CHARGES

At a meeting held in the mayor S uf1ce last night, which session almost into an Indignation meet F4ng for Superintendent of Police John hH Redgate, Police Commissioners F<ank D. Anderson, Richard H. Mur- phy and William B. Primrose, openly requested Mayor Wilson to bring charges against the suspended su- perintendent or reinstate him inl1ne- dnately.
 In presenting these demands to the mayor. 1t seems that the three commissioners have correctly ex- pressed the ideas of John H. Red gate's friends, both in and out of the police department The mayor re- Quested that the superintendent be smpended indefinitely while the Burns investigation was under way, and his request was granted by the commissioners. Now that the month is up, action is demanded
 So far Mayor Wilson has refused to give any indication of whether charges will be brought against Red gate. One police commissioner is o& the opinion that no~charges will be entered, and Redgate's friends hold che-same belief. Action one way or the other is expected to follow last nfehts session at the city hall.
