tainly has caused trouble enough.
 The commissioner then asked Chief
 Hart If in his opinion four days for
 the policemen was not an excesslvs punishment. The chief said he con- sidered it was not. Commissioner Parker then said that if it had not
 been for the K K. K. the men would
 not have been punished more than
 half a day. Commissioner Jackson said that 1t was a matter of discipline.
 Some discussion was held in regard to tho case of Policeman John Ken nedy. who said that if his foot was In good condition he would have re- mained away from the meeting be- cause of the K. K. K. Commissioner Lange said he believed he should receive heavier penalty than Tier ney, Anderson and Tanguay. Com missioner Parker asked if 1t wns the purpose to punish Kennedy for pub licity rather than for an offense he had committed. Certainly not" an- swered Commissioner Lange.
 Cabehls Commended
 Commissioner Jackson said that he wished to have recorded on the min- utes of the board, commendation of Policeman Peter Cabelus for the stand he took In regard to the drill. Cabelus went to the police station to be excused and when the captain in- formed him that the chief was away. and that no excuse could be accepted, Cabelus used good judgment by go- ing to the association and reporting as usual. The motion by Commis- sioner Jackson was seconded by Com missioner Lange.
 Chief Hart was asked if the inves- tigation he conducted threw any light on whether Hergstrom attended the meeting. The chief said that in his opinion he had not. He had state- ments from men who are purported to have attended the meeting, and they deny that Hergstrom was there. Victor Larson, the basketball player, Gunner Anderson, an employ at the Corbin Screw Corp, and John Kron, denied that Hergstrom was in attend . ance, the chief said. Commissioner Jackson said that if 1t could be shown that Hergstrom was at the meeting he would oppose the holding of any further drills for the policemen at the Y. M. c. A. and Chairman Dunn said If this was established the men need not attend the drills.
 The motion to deduct time from the policemen's vacation allowance was adopted.

c. A. last Friday The sergeant ex.
 plained conditions as he found them
 and said that at 2;40 o'clock when the rest of the men did not report
 he left the building. He was asked why it was that he did not report the matter to the chief when he came on duty at night. Sergeant E,llinger said that on arrival at the station every one seemed to be talking Ku KluS Klan, and that he felt that report left in the morning would do for the chief. It was the opinion of Ser geant Ellinger that all the men did not remain away from the drill on account of the K. K. K.
 | Commissioner Lange asked Chief Hart why the drill order was rescind- ed last Monday. The chief replied that 1t was done because he wanted to make an investigation of the case, He said in defense of the men, that he believed they all realized that a mistake had been made and that 1t would not occur again.
 Commissioner Parker said that the men do not take the weekly drill as seriously as other police orders. Chief Hart said he knows of cases where there have been extenuating circum- stances when men have remained away from drills. Commissioner L.ange asked Chief Hart if the pres- ent case was considered by him as important. The chief replied that he did. Chairman Dunn said that it appeared to him at the beginning of the meeting, that some of the men did not appreciate the importance of an order, but after the hearing closed he was of the opinion that most of them had acquired wisdom in this re- spect.
 No Excuse, Lange Says.
 Commissioner Lange spoke of the explanations offered by the men, both in the letters to Chief Hart and the verbal statements made at the hear ing. The commissioner said that he realized his position, and he was op- posed to going further into the case, but he was also opposed to treating the affair in light or superficial manner. He said that his sympathies are with the men, but that he does hoI tHilih lIliI dIy Ol tuCll lldu d good and sufficient reason for stay ing away from the drill. He said of Hergstrom, that a. great injustice may have been done him and that the city may have taken this matter more seriously than it should. He said that there are two factions in the city, one which wanted the case of l the policemen treated lightly, while the other favored severe punishment. l He said that the men had disobyed | the chief. and there was no excuse | for them.
 No Wilful Disobedience.
 Commissioner Jackson said that the | men had not wilfully disobeyed the orders of the chief, but had acted hastily. He said that if, in his opinion, there had been gross dis play of disobedience, he would favor

q severe penalty. He said that by
 imposing punishment that would re-
 suit in financial loss members of the
 families of the men would be af-
 fected. He then suggested that in all
 eases with the exception of Police men Tierney. Kennedy. Tanguay and Anderson. and Sergeant Flynn, the | penalty be four days deduction from the vacation period next year, in the case of Sergeant Flynn, the penalty be six days deducted from vacation allowance and in the case of the four other policemen. two days of the va- cation allotment.
 Commissioner Parker said that too much was being said about the K. K. K. and 1t appeared to him like making mountain out of molchill Commissioner Parker paid his re- spects to members of an organization who do not desire their names made public. "Men that join the Masons and the K. of c. are only too proud to wear the buttons and emblems of the organization" he declared.
 Commissioner Lange in seconding II, regarding the punishment to be i'm the thoughtlessness did not "go" with the thoughtlesness did not Ego" with him. You might just as well call spade spade" he said.
 Parker Objects
 Commissioner Parker expressed himself as feeling that the four and six day penalty imposed on eight po- licemen and a sergeant, was too severe. The commissioner said that in other instances where the men did not attend drills at the Y. M. c. A. nothing was ever done about it. Other members of the commission failed to agree with him on the subject Chairman Dunn said that punishment must be meted out that will teach the men that they must obey orders. The chairman said that the K. K. K. did not interest or excite him at all, and that if it was shown that Hergstrom attended the meeting the men would have had redress if they had spoken with the chief. He thought the mo- ton of Commissioner Jackson was a fair one.
 The matter or arranging how the days will be taken off Sergeant Flynn, who is a salaried man, was left to | Chief Hart.
 Not Impressed by Drill Order
 Commenting on the drills at the Y. 1 M. c. A., Commissioner Parker re- ferred to the new order as "frill." Commissioner Lange remarked that if it was 'frill" as a matter of eco- nomy it should be done away with. Commissioner Parker then said that by ''frill' he meant that the police men do not look upon it as being in he line of duty.
 Chairman Dunn said there is no 1oubt that physical training is ac- some good in the depart nent, and that he would oppose any plan to do away with it. Commis- 'ioner Parker said that he hoped it vas doing some good because it cer-I
