It is planned to get the councilmen, if possible, to amend the resolution to be introduced by Councilman) Lundy so that, instead of asking an investigation by the council, it would merely refer the entire matter to Ma yor| Gill. | This would suit Chief Lang, as the mayor has al- ready declared that ‘while the chief has been ‘indiscreet’ there has been no cause for his removal.” As the mayor also said he would fire Lang if the council, after investigation, found him guilty of conduct unbecoming a chief of police, Lang’s friends are now seeking to prevent such an investigation. If the council will not investigate Lang, Gill will not ask for his resignation. The efforts of Lang’s friends are now being exerted to get the council to “pass the buck” right back to the mayor. | If this ruse succeeds, it will become a case of passing | the buck to and fro between the mayor and the council | with the result, as Lang’s friends hope, that there will be. no investigation whatever. | Councilman Lundy, however, asserted positively |Saturday he will stand pat on his original demand for) |an investigation by the council. “My resolution, as it will be introduced Monday, | will be direct to the point,” he said. “It will call for an | immediate investigation by the council. It seems to me! |that this should be acceptable to Chief Lang and to! everybody concerned. It will give him a chance to clear! himself without unnecessary delay if he can.

The second is a resolution by the council asking the! mayor to file charges against the chief so that the coun-| cil would not only have the right to investigate, but also. to fire the chief, if found guilty, without the mayor’s| sanction. | The third is to ask the mayor to investigate and re-| port to the council. | Either of the last two plans, since they depend upon) what Mayor Gill will do, is satisfactory to Lang and his! friends and is being urged upon a number of council-| men as “the easiest way out.” | Action on the Lundy resolution will be taken Mon- day. - can be passed or killed at once. | If passed, the councilmanic probe probably will be- | gin next week. || i ‘North End News Urges Council to mire.

The story has been film- ed by the Vitagraph Co. and will be shown in epi- sodes at the Alhambra the- atre, beginning a week from Monday At first blush, “The Goddess” is an utterly fantastic yarn.
