LATTER RESTORE SUSPENDED OFFICERS The Mayor Refuses to Recognize the Action of the Board. eee IMBROGLIO —— INTERES TING Evening Star Bureau, No. 121 North Washington street, Telephone 116, Alexardria, Va., March 18, 1897. There was a red hot meeting of the board of police commissioners at police headquar- ters last night, which resulted in the action of Mayor Thompsen in suspending Ser- geant James T. Smith and Officer William Fergusson being set aside, and the men to be put on duty forthwith. Prompily at 4 o'clock the board met with Mayor Thomp- son in the chair and Commissioners Bryant, Lindsay, Lockett and Strauss present. It had for some time been expected and predicted in The Star that the commission- ers would at their first meeting investigate the stspension of the two officers which caused such a burst of indignation from the citizens at the time of its occurrence, #s the public generally felt that it was an act of gross injustice to these two men, who had without fear or favor conducted successfully the raid against the policy shops. and when this decision was reached by the con missioners it occasioned no sur- prise and gave general satisfaction. When the meeting opened a letter was re- ceived from Chief Webs! setting forth geant Smith and Officer Fergus- on had been suspended from duty Febru- for thirty days each for in- ion and contempt of the mayor and their superior officers. A Lively Discussion Precipitated. This letter caused the discussion, and matters were not minced while it was go- ing on. It is understood that Commission- ers Lockett, Lindsay and Bryant favored investigating the case, but Mayor Thomp- son held that the commissioners had no rights in the matter, the result of which would reverse his (the mayor's) decision, and in this pos he was sustained by Commissioner After a great deal of discussion pro and con, in which all the members of the board tock part, the follow- ing resolution was adopted ‘The board of police comm: ing duly reviewed the charge of insubordi- nation and contempt. for which Sergeant Smith and Officer Fergusson were suspend- ed from the police force, do hereby set je such suspension and order the officers ‘sioners, hav- to report for duly forthwith.” It is understood that Commissioners Lockett, Bryant and Lindsay voted for this resolution, and Commissioner Strayss and Mayor Thompson against it. Mayor Thompson refused to put the question, and Commissioner Bryant took the chair. Mayor Thompson, having refused to en- force the resolution of the commi: on motion of Commissioner Lindsay, Sec- retary Lockett was instructed to report the action of the board to Chief Webster, with ‘ioners orders to carry it out. Mayor Thompson did not report to the s in writing his actions in the on case, as, it is claimed, he hould have done, and, in fact, made no report of the matter except in a verbal way, when his not having done so was called to his attention by the board. The mayor, it is thought. did not want the com- ners to discuss the matter. A Question of Authority. The whole matter in question, as it now stands, is one of authority. What author- ity the police commissioners have under the and what authority the mayor hus in- dependent of the commissioners? The weight of opinion seems to be with the commissioners. The law on the subject that an officer can be suspended not er than thirty days, or until there is a ting of the police commissioners. The majority of the commissioners construe this to mean that when they me=t they can investigate any charges that caused sus- pension and render a decision in accord- ance with their finding. The mayor and commissioner in minority, on the cther hand, claim that while the commisstoners have every right to investigate, but have no right to render a decision that would re- verse the decision of the mayor, in other words, Mayor Thompson claims that he can manage the police force to suit him- self, impose such sentences as he may choose, and notwithstanding the board of police ‘commissioners were created to con- trol the police force, that they have no right to reverse his decision when they see fit to make an investigation. Commissioners Lindsay, Lockett and Bryant all say that they are determined to have the question. of authority settled, and at once, for they do not care to serve on a board which carries responsibility without authority. The question wiil probably have to be settled in court. There is but one opinion on the subject expressed on the streets today, and that is that the mayor has been poorly advised in tne matter, and that unless the majority commissioners are right the board should be abolished and the present law on the subject changed. Congratulated on Their Vindication. ‘The one thing apparent ts that Se Smith and Officer Fergusson are compl ly vindicated by this action of the buard of police commissioners, and they are ing congratulated on all sides by friends and the law-abiding citizens. The setting aside the suspension by the board extends to the date it went into effect, and the men will receive their pay for the time they have lost on account of the major’s order. If the ac taken by Commissioners Lockett, Bryant and Lindsay is not sus- tained they will all three resign, they say, as they do not care to occupy the positions of “figure heads” or mere dummies on a He their board without authority save to attend meetings. Mayor Thompson Upheld. Chief Webster stated that he had re ed orders from Mayor Thompson not to pay any attention to the ordér of the commis- sioners, and the matter was referred to Corporation Attorney Brent for his opla- jen in the case. Mr. Brent this morning, upon the request of Mayor Thompson, has written a letter to the mayor, in which he gave as his opinion as corporation at- that the mayor had a perfect right pend policemen for thirty days, and that the board of police commissioners had no right to act In the matter. Acting upon this opinion Chief Webster has de-ided to abide by the mayor’s instructions und not reinstate Sergt Smith and Officer Ferg is- son until their thirty da suspension is up. The chief has written a letter to Sec- retary Lockett of the board notifying him of this fact. The Star reporter called upoa the commissioners Uiis morning but they declined to talk for publication. What they will now do in the matter is not known, but it is expected that they will carry it to the courts to be decided. Chief Webster, in talking to The Star repor.er, said: “This is not the first time I have had double and contlicting orders. In 1s70, when Hugh Latham was mayor, I was arrest-d and put in fail, where I ‘stayed four days, for not obeying the orders of the rsyor, which clashed with orders from the city council, which at that time had charge of the force. Salvation Army Captain's Dispute. Tuesday a man calling himself Capt. Harry McKnight, who claims to be a rep- resentative of the American Salvation Army, arrived in this city. He proceeded to establish headquarters of the Army at Schuler's Hall, on upper King street. He decorated the building with American col- ors and swung a large sign, bearing the words “American Salvation’ Army.” He then placed a notice in the local papers to the effect that he would hold meetings in the hall nightly for one week. A small- sized crowd attended his services Wednes- Gay night. Yesterday afternoon Captain Penrose and wife, who gave their address as 521 10th street, Southeast Washington, called at police headquarters and. lodged complaint against McKnight, clatming that he was a fraud, and that he had been driven out of Washington on account of his mis- representations. They claimed that as the American Salvation Army was an I-38 5 EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at 8 a.m., 75th meridian time. ars, or lines of equa! air pressu Ices of equal temperature, drawn for each ten degrees. snow has fallen during preceding twelve hyurs.

Immense crowds gathered in Fleet street, London, yesterday, in front of the news- paper offices and at the various sporting clubs, to receive the news of the fight at Carson City. The greatest elation followed the announcement that Fitzsimmons had won. The Sportsman says: “Corbett is the vic- tim of his own jealousy and dog-in-the- manger policy. He ought to have retired from the ring before he had been beaten by a man his inferior in everything but pluck and hard hitting.” The Sporting Life says: “Fitzsimmons has fairly and honestly won the title of the premier boxer of the world.

The twenty-round battle before the Rienzi Club of Rochester, N. Y., last night be- tween Tommy Ryan of Syracuse and Pat Raedy of Washington was stopped by the police in the eighteenth round. The bout was well fought from the start. Raedy showed up in strong form, and in a majority of rounds up to the fifteenth held his own well. In the fifteenth he had Ryan going, the latter being saved from a knockout, apparently, only by Raedy’s dis- inclination to put on the finishing touches. Ryan rallied in the next two rounds and had the best of both. In the eighteenth Ryan forced the fighting. Raedy dropped to gain time, and the chief of police rang the gong. The crowd hissed. Raedy was full of fight when the bout ended. The decision was given to Ryan. Raedy expressed him- self as willing to meet Ryan again. ————_ Richard Gray was charged before Judge Kimi with being a vagrant.

Detectives Helan, Boyd and Lacy of po- lice headquarters, made an important ar- rest this afternoon when they took into custody Henry Bolden and locked him up at the first precinct station to answer a charge of housebreaking. The specific ac- cusation against Bolden is that he entered the establishment of Quigley & Hart, 6th ard C streets, at an early hour Saturday mcrning, March 13, by smashing a windo and stole a large quantity of liquors. detectives have reason to believe that Bol- den, in addition, is one of the parties who fcreed an entry into the establisament of Charles L. Beatty, 1213 Pennsylvania ave- nue, and George J. Mueller, 336 Pennsy! vania avenue, Thursday night, March 11. From the descripiion furnished, a strong probability also exists that Bolden is the burglar who entered the residence of Mr: Hearst, at 17th street and Massach’ avenue, early in January. On that oc the intruder was seen and frightene! away by an employe of the household before he succeeded In getting anything of value. FS ee years of age. He came to this city severa months ago from Macon, and the in- jent today marks his third arrest arrival here. He was in the Court once on complaint of Mrs. Mary Williams of 450 Marble court, charged with housebreaking. Mrs, Williams alleged that she found Bolden crouching behind a door in the room occupied by her daughter at the house mentioned. Recently he was arrested on the street on suspicion of being a burglar, ard served a term in the work- house as the result. For some time, Bolden was employed at a local hotel, and was arrested there for the first case of housebreaking referred to. Bolden, so the detectives believe, has not been operating alone, but his accompiices, if he has any, have not yet been appre. hended. After visiting Quigley and Hart's Bolden proceeded with his booty at 4 o'clock on the morning of the 13th to a house in Jackson Hall alley. He buried a portion of the stolen goods in a pile of ashes in the rear yard and hid the remainder in the house. Half a dozen persons have been found who will testify that they saw bol- den when he arrived at the house with the goods. When searched at headquarters the most interesting disclosure made was a sufficient number of keys of all kinds and sizes, it would seem, to make entry into every house in the city feasible. tached a brass check inscribed “New Hotel Lanier, Macon, Ga., 4: ‘There were al extracted from the pockets of about twenty-five packages gum, and this, it is thought, was stolen from Mueller's. A letter, supposed to be from Bolden’s sweetheart, was also un- earthed. It was headed “Harry, my dear, and urged him to “keep close, as the polic are after you.” There was another com- munication, addressed to the editor of The Evening Star, which, from its wording. was intended to remove all ground for suspicion from the character of the Williams girl, in whose room, it was charged, he was dis- covered by the girl's mother. Bolden denied all knowledge of the burg- lary, even when confronted with the wit- ness and the evidence of guilt found on his person. He refused to disclose where he has been living, and that fact gives strength to the belief that further incrimi- nating evidence may be brought to light in his room, when it is finally located. is Rothschild’s liquor establishment on 14th street near I street, was entered some time last night and a quantity of liquors and some money carried away. As the entry was similar to that at Quigley and Hart's and Beatty's, the crime may also be fast- e1.ed on Bolden. He will probably be grant- ed a hearing tomorrow in the Police Court, and as the prisoner is considered an excep- tionelly dangerous man, every effort will be made, ticularly in view of his past record, to have him sentenced to the pent- tentiary for a long term. It is not known whether or not he is wanted by the police of Macon, Ga. —_—-——_ It matters little what it is ‘that you want servant—a reach the -| BOUGHT - Al laying | heir information, knowledge and be- R.
