POLICE TRIAL
IS AGAIN OFF
Officer Louis Hansen Not to
be Heard on Charges
Tonight

The action of the aldermen on
Monday night in resembling the po-
lice rules and regulations under
which the police department has
been conducted for the past two
years has resulted in the hearing of
Patrolman Louis Hansen, originally
set for Monday night, but put off
until tonight, again being postponed.
The police committee of the alder
men had arranged with City Attor-
ney Wilentz to go ahead with the
hearing on Monday night, notices
having been sent out to all con-
cerned.
Upon request of Thomas Brown,
representing officer Hansen, the
hearing was adjourned until tonight,
but at Monday nights meeting the
aldermen r~econsidered their action
in referring this case to the police
committee and City Clerk Costello
vas instructed to return the charges
to the mayor so that they might be
drawn up in a different manner.
City Attorney Wilentz. in a letter
to the aldermen on Monday night,
suggested that in future hearings of
police officers the entire board of al
dermen attend and recommended
h a in order to have a voice in de-
Gliding whether or not an officer is
guilty of the charges preferred
against him, the aldermen must have
listened to all of the testimony.
Mayor Wilson this morning said
the city clerk had not yet returned
him the original charges as made
against Officer Hansen by Sergeant
kasprzak and Chief Tonnesen, and
consequently he had not acted to arr
range for the hearing of the ac-
cused officer. The mayor did not
until this morning sign the resolu-
ton passed by tho aldermen Mon
day night resembling the police rules
and regulations under which the de-
partment has been running.
1t is now a question whether or
lot there II any rules by which
10 be guided in conducting police
matters, unless the old rules of 1902
apply. 1t seems likely. the mayor
said today, that a new set of rules
and regulations will DO adopted by
the aldermen, so that something
definite to work by will be avail
able,
