COPPER TESTIFIES THAT
HE COLLECTED $2,200.
Policeman Marshall A. Wheel
er today told the civil service
commission that he had collected
$2,200 from the men traveling out
of the Seventeenth precinct, or
Englewood station, for the Unit
ed Police fund in 1910.
Wheeler said he collected $20
from each of the men traveling
out of Englewood on the instruc
tionsfof Wm. F. Stine, then presi
dent of the United Police.
This is part of the fund which
some newspapers are saying men
raised to bribe aldermen who
could be bribed. There has been
no investigation as to what alder
men took the bribes so far.
Wheeler was asked if he ever
had heard that the money was to
be used to bribe aldermen. He
said he had not.
HE WAS A SAILOR
A sailor who had landed after
a long voyage and, having been
paid off, called a cab, threw his
luggage inside and jumped on top
himself.
"Beg pardon, sir," said the
astonished cabman, "but you
should get inside and put your
boxes on top."
"Steer the craft ahead, jarvey.
Passengers always go on deck
and luggage in the hold," was the
reply from the top.
