Kisselbr.ackI Is
 Charged With Laxity On Duty
Officers Wife, Declares He Will Be Absolved Of Any Guilt When Heard By Discipline Committee Today.

Pending investigation by the discipline committee of the Board of Police Commission CTS, David Kisselbrack, g. pa trolman attached to Police Headquarters has been sus- pended. Information concern ing his suspension is very vague, and as far as could be learned by the Times today Kisselbrack will be arraigned on a charge of lettering and talking to women while on duty
 Previous Good Conduct.
 Kisse1brack was appointed to the force on July Is. 1920. and his con duct has always until this time been considered above reproach.
 Authorities of the Police Depart ment were reticent to discuss the facts in the case. Commissioner had been suspended upon the rec omm endation of one of the commits sioners who had seen him lettering and talking to two women while on
 What disposition will be made of the case could -not-~be learned from Commissioner Stanley other than that he will be, arraigned before the dis and if the charges are of such nature his case will then be brought before the next meeting Of the Po- lice Commissioners.
 Flanagan Reticent.
 Superintendent Flanagan. when ask sd for a statement on the question asked the reporter If he had talked to Commissioner Stanley When nothing to say, then. Assistant Su- perintendent Flood also refused to make statement ou the case saying that he did not think that it came that he did not have any dope on the case, other than what was already known.
 An attempt was made to get Officer Ksselbrack on the phone but this was found imp possible. His wife, however, stated that he would prob ably be cleared of the charges when the true facts of the case are known. She stated that the girls referred to are girls with whom he formerly worked in 8 local factory and that he only stopped to pass the time of the day.
 A Popular Officer.
 A wave of regret swept tho city today when 1t become known that Officer Kisseqbach had been suspend ed. He had always been considered 8 model officer and it is thought that he will, when the proper time comes, be able to clear himself of the charges.
 The officer formerly lived at 1164 East Main street but recently moved to 663 Park street. He is married.
 Since his appointment to the force he has been detailed from Police headquarters to one of the center posts, his exact assignment being from State street to Railroad avenue and from Lafayette street to Main.
 The exact time of the discipline hearing could not be determined to- day, the members meeting only when business of such a nature is brought up as to demand immediate action.

Leaders Prepare.
 Democratic leaders were all set to make a determined fight against adop- ton of the suspension resolution which would prevent the changing of even a coma in the bonus measure as approved by the Ways and Means committee. Republican leaders were confident however, that any assault on their program would be repulsed.
 With the adoption of the resolution, the next order would be the recog- nizing of Chairman Fordney by Speaker Gillett for the offering of a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bonus bill. Four hours of debate would follow, with the time equally divided between proponents and oppo- nents.
 Delay Till 5:3O.
 In the regular order of things a final vote on the bill would not be started before 4:30 p. m. as there was to be an hours debate and a roll call, requiring half an hour of the session. Regarding that the ma jority was attempting gag rule Democratic leaders said there would not be any regular order of things if they could prevent it. They were prepared to press every parHam entary right and the prospect was that the final vote would be delayed until 5:39 D. m. or later.
 A two-thirds majority would be re- quired to pass the bill under a suspen- sion of the rules. but proponents claimed and most opponents conceded that the measure would obtain con siderably more than that majority.
