Major Hesse ana Inspector Evans
have been warm friends for many

many friends that his complaint is

Commissioners.
When Major SuIlivan,s illness be-

neved that the Commissioners would
follow the example set when Major
Evans would get the place.
Major Sullivan was acting head
Of the police department for many
months before he was named super

Inspector Evans had practically the

other debtor nation, is due for some
congressional bombardment when pre-

Twenty state cossacks are on guard
