SILODN BOAES IREUNDER BN Commissioners Dismiss Three Patrolmen From Force. The policy inaugurated by the Board of Police Commissioners in abolishing all | side rooms and booths in saloons through- out the city was exemplified to a great extent at the meeting last night, when a large number of saloon proprietors ap- peared before the board for a renewal of licenses. In every case where the report showed that boxes were run in connec- tion with the place a notification was given to remove them at once, The deci- sion on the application of the Thalia for a renewal of the license was postponed for one week, and the managers of the Palm, Kapp & Street and the Olympia were cited to appear and show cause why thelr licenses should not be revoked. Patrolmen Thomas F. O'Connell, John B. Daneri and David B. Sullivan, who wére charged with being found in a sa- loon at the northwest corner of Page and Franklin streets on the morning of Jan- uary 13, in company of two women, were tried jointly and a verdict of guilty was rendered, with the penaity of dismissal from the force In.each case, Commission- er Drinkhouse voting not guilty against Sullivan and Danerl. The accused men were represented by counsel, and in their own behalf stated that they had entered the saloon for the purpose of making out a report after investigating a burglary in the neighborhood and the women were strangers to them.

F. Morgan in the early watches of the morning following the departure from the Japanese port. Morgan was on the bridgs dreaming of San Francisco. Suddenly through hig dreams there loomed up a heavyset fAigure topped with fiying halr and creeping along the deck. The figure approached the“bridge and with stealthy steps climbed the ladder. A whisker-fringed face slowly worked its way up to the bridge like a stage moon. . figure followed the face and before Morgan could swallow his heart, which he declares he could feel against his téeth, the stranger was walking toward him. “'Stop there,” sald Morgan. ‘“Who the deuce are vou and what do you mean by coming up here? Throw up your hands.” Morgan's courage had returned an order followed a glimpse at a etrangt weapon in the figure's right hand. No hands went up, but the supposed weapon was lald carefully on the bridge deck. Strik- ing a dramatic attitude the mystery solved itself, “1 em a stowaway, yet."” That was all.

The sensational charge was made by Lessler himself at a meeting of the Naval Affairs Committee to-day. The | question of the Holland torpedo boats was up, and Lessler, who was opposing the authorization of additional boats, told the committee that he had been approched with a bribe. His statement startled the committee and several members, among them Butler of Pennsylvania and Roberts of Massachusetts, immediately suggested that so serfous a charge should be inves- tigated at once. After some discussion Wheeler of Kentucky offered a resolution, which was adopted, to appoint a sub- committee to investigate at once and to report to the full committee. The sub-committee entered on its work and during the afternoon heard Lessler's complete story. The sub-committee will summon other witnesses to-morrow Their proceedings are secret and the members of both the full and sub-com- mittee have bound themseives not to speak of the matter pending the report of the sub-committee. How definite and spe- cific Lessler's charge Is, therefore, is not known. GIVES TOTAL AMOUNT OF TAXES COLLECTED Collector Smith Designates Sum to Be Returned to Taxpayers if Special Is Illegal.
