Show AlliS NOT WELL I The Police Department is Not Ruimiiig Right POLICEMAN BUCKLEY Does Not Conduct Himnelf to Please Rill Superior In Office Nor to Please the Public The Old Factions Still Worrying Worry-ing Proceedings of Last Nights Session Ses-sion of the City Council Herds a pretty how dye do Ever since before tbe convention Dr Simmons Bays there has bean bad blood between Newell Knight and Johnatban Buckley Buck-ley It was pretty well known that before tha convention and in the convention there were two factions the Knight men and the anti Knighters as the enemies of the marshal mar-shal or minority faction were called but it did not come to the surface that the old fuel has been smoldering and burning all the time to the injury of the city by obstructing the work of the police department until last night Democratic Joe Mac the balance wheel of the council but for whom that incompetent republican body would allow i al-low affaire of the city to go to smash by getting aside and overruling ordinances ordin-ances at their own sweet will dug the loathsome secret from beneath the surface sur-face and nOw there is prospect of the corrupt police department being purified puri-fied < and of Marshal Knight getting a ttle efficient aid in the good work he conscientiously trying do Some months ago McEwan was approached ap-proached by some members of the coun cil and asked if he did not think it would be well to reduce the police force He had spoken to the marshal on the subject sub-ject The marsbal thought that at least during the quiet months of summer sum-mer he could get along without the policeman It was the first time in the marshals life that he had ever been receiving re-ceiving money which his conscience told him he had not earned and he felt like it was his duty to go to some extra trouble and inconvenience if by so doing be could save money to the city Other retrenchments had been suggested as a result of which be McEwan wauled a coupleof months ormore ago to make a motion to the effect that the various committees be instructed to Investigate Investi-gate the different departments with a view ot ascertaining whether or no any retrenchment of expenses could be made and to report their findings This motion mo-tion carried but as yet iGIms i not b l sen acted upon At last evenings session of the city council when miscellaneous business was called McEwan arose and recited all this In view of the fact that the marshal is of the opinion that he can get alOng without the services of policeman McEwan thought the city has been paying 5000 a month long enough for an ornament to walk up and down Center street until people go to bed and then retire himself especially so when it is remembered that the marshal mar-shal in any emergency that may happen at night has the help of the mzhtwatch men and may appoint as many special policemen as may be required Mc Ewan therefore moved that the marshal mar-shal be instructed to cut down his police force This motion was seconded by Hoover and then the fun began Simmons said that instead of reducing reduc-ing the police force it should be increased in-creased There io work enough for one policeman in tbe vicinity of his residence resi-dence alone He is in hourly dread of losing his life beause that pistols in womens hands float around that neighborhood very promiscuously Glazier said that the nights out his way an made hideous by shooting yelling drinking dogfighting horoe racing and other practices that he did not care to mention Ward would like to know what the marshal woujd do if he was left alone Keeler offered a gratuitous insult to Sexton Johnson becauep be couldnt find anything to say in lavor of Buckley Buck-ley Knudsen thought it was shameful the way tbat hoodlums are allowed to congregate outside of churches m1 disturb the worshippers They dont do these things in Europe After all these gentlemen had hhc their say McEwan again arose and turning to Keeler informed that gentleman gen-tleman that tfe McEnran as chairman of the committed on cemetery hal no complaint against Sexton Johnson to offer on tbe contrary he heartily endorsed en-dorsed all that the sexton had done and felt that he had performed good labor Besides even if he had complaints com-plaints to offer and wanted the sexton lemoved the ordinance prohibits him nom taking steps to have it done With reference to Wards i nuestion as to what the marshal would do if left alone McEwan aked the marshal himself who was present to answer it The marshal did so very satisfactorily satisfac-torily and proved conclusively the city would not be injured much by discharging dis-charging its policeman In any emergency as at all other times he would do exactly as the ordinance directs di-rects Evidently seeing that the majority of the council were bent on retaining Buckley whether or no and apparently appar-ently being impressed with the idea that if the marshal must have tbe help of a policeman Buckley of all men ought not to be that man McEwnu began be-gan a fire ot cross questions upon the marshal Marshal do you know then your policeman goes off or cornea on duty i I do net A storm of objectionsall overruled over-ruled Then McEwan opened up on a cer ta n tentthe properly of the city that had been taken and loaned by the policeman entirely without the knowledge knowl-edge and consent of the marsn si It took Md wan nearly half an hJ ar to get this out so many objections were there Glazier got mad Siimions ditto and then there were other sniffs and snaps and shaking of hends it was an outrage so it was Simmons had no complaints to offer Marshal Knight was the best marshal Provo ever had but this snit of thing could not be allowea Buckley steal a tent Preposterous Gentlemen said McEwan it was not my intention to bring all these things there are many more out but you force lue to it I propose to prove to you now that you seem determined on retaining the policeman that the marshal can get along as well without as with him Keeler objected McEwan was out of order Keeler was killed bv a blow from the president and McEwan was about to start again wheu Simmons arose only to be knocked down by a biff below the belt Then he appealed from the decision of the chair he chair was sustained and Simmons turned his back and wouldnt plav anymore any-more Glazier and Ward hung their heads Knudsen had written upon his features in very plain letters Where am I atjl and They dont do this in Europe Ross was enjoying the fun and Halladay wanted to hear more about that tent and about the misdeeds mis-deeds of Buckley Hoover was supporting sup-porting McEwan and Keeler had not yet recovered McEwan opened up again If he had any charge to make against Marshal Knight he was not afraid to make them but Buckler was worse than no help at all to the marshal He did not work with him but rather against him There were certain circunifctances not proper to mention here that would prove this McEwan would haze gone on to show that the marshal got no help rather was lie hindered in his attempts to suppress the gambling hell running on Centre street thai arrests had been made and priaourrs + released entirely unknown un-known to the marshal ai d several other things but by this time it was pLi u to be Seen that the long session and the excitement were telling heavily on the president who is not well aud McEwan took his seat A tquabbl ensued as to whether or no the giouuds for the discharge of Buck y is i inetiici icy or no necessity and rd lose up and asked the question ques-tion point blaiiK of the marshal Mr Kniiiht arose and told how he had been approached with a view of reducing the it rce and how he bad answered corrobjrat ng all that Mc Ewan ha f said Speaking of inefficiency ineffici-ency the marshal f a dJThe trouble Bright here The council not the marsh I JirwQiniiJ tlie < pollcetainanti ntf feels entire dependent of me He is not und ° fnify control There are many things x might say only that I feel there has been enough said here already Then Simmons arose and moved that a special committee on inv stigation be appointed God knows he said that there has be n bad blood between be-tween Newell Knight and Jobuathan Buckley Ever since before the convention con-vention we uicht have heard the whole secret but Mi + E van called the excited doctor to order and immons subsided In the hubbub the matter of investi gation was referred to the committee on police and city prison and the council coun-cil adjourned The business transacted before this came up was as follows Retail liquor license of Wilson Heibaur was renewed PETITIONS By Cornelia H Clayton asking that license for a proposed primary fair to begin on Tuesday
