After a discussion of the | letter and of the evidence in the casc, it was voted to send a lotter to the mayor, telling Lhim that unless he or somebody had some new evidence in e case that has not come to the at- tention of the commissioners, the board felt that no other action than has already been taken would be jus- tified by the evidence already consic ered, Commissioner Thomas F. Jackson med to inti- | mate that the board had passed light- | ly over the case, which he said was not the case, as the discipline board | Lad spent more time investigating the Rouskie case than any other case it has handled. He said that all the cvidence that the committee could | gather on the affair was carefully con- | stdered, and felt that the penalty im- pesed was just and sufficient. He add- ed that Rouskie told the board a straightforward story of the affair, | which was logical in every detail and | corroborated by the witnesses, Commissioner Parker said that | when he made the motion to impose a penalty of $50 on Rouskie for his! conduct, he made it with the intention | of punishing the policeman for plac- | ing the couple under arrest and then | letting them go mgain, He said that | he felt at that time this was the only | thing that the board could find the policeman guilty of, and, that the po- liceman should have reported the af-| fair to the chief when he came off | duty in the morning. On the other| charges made by the complainant in the case, Parker said that the board | had three witnesses that he has been personally acquainted with for many | years, against that of a man whom he has never seen before and who has | only been in the city a short time, llc! said that if there is no new evidence | to be presented he did not feel that| anything could be gained by reopen- | ing the case, Commissioner Lange expressed his implicit confidence in the disciplie committee and said that he felt that the ends of justice were met by the penalty imposed, He said that he could readily understand the mayor's | position in the matter, | rumors and stories being brought to him from Voice Culture Special Attention to Baginners James Donahue EAR TRAINING 81 Sefton Drive .

The complaint had been turned over to the discipline committee, which investigated and found nothing to call for any action against the po- licemen involved, and a report was submitted to the board last night ex- Kane appeared before the board and gave his story. When asked by Chaidman Dunn why he thought that Doherty had a dislike toward him, he said that he knew the policeman didn't like him because of remarke he has made, He said that on several occasions he had expressed his opin- ion of Doherty, which s that the policeman was not fit to be patrolling the streets protecting people and he added that he still held the same opinion. The policemen were called off their beats to appear befare the commis- sioners and they told their story of the affair. They said that Kane re- SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1924.

Mr, Leland said that he did not wish to have charges preferred against any policeman, and as he did not furnish the board with the dates on which the doors were not tried, his complaint was considered by the board as a matter of information re- garding the police protectibn, Chief Hart was asked what could be done said that complaints had reached the |latest dance hits direct from Broad- police through the Civie Safety|way.
