yesterday that he would, be here on Friday nig?,

It la probable that the Investigation will b?icon?

it is thought that, besides Mr. Mott. of Baltimore;
A. D. Walte, of this iute; O. W. Dorntee, of
Massachusetts, and Herbert Faults, wli: also be
present. Prerldent Potter himself may take a

who know him are confident that he will make a.
thorough investigation of the short-track scandai.

In considering tha ?pp:icatlon of Boston for th?
IM League of American Wheelmen meet the Ex?
ecutive Committee ha? been forced to regard the
hostile attitude of the New-England railroad and
steamboat combination, and their unpopular prac?
tice of making an extra charge, ranging from 10
cents to several dollars, for each bicycle checked
as baggage over roads running to end from Hoston.
1 L?a?uo if American Wheelmen meet at Bo?

land ral.roads, but League of American Wheelmen
member? argua that thl? amount, and even more,
had better he paid to friend.y rouis running 10
tome Western city than to the New-Kngland com?
bination. A letter has been sent by the Executive
Committee of the League of American Wheelmen
to the genera: paasengei agents of several Eastern
lines, to ascertain, before final decision is reached,
whether these 1-r.ea cannot be Induced to abandon
the obnoxious rul" now in force of making extra

J. D. Ollmor, who was active, In organising the

price of milk to consumers will not be Increased,
but that the company will make a profit out ci the
reduction In the cost of handling the milk. He said

THE XIGTIT STICKS STAY.
BUT POLICEMEN MUST KEEP THEM IN
THEIR BELTS AND STOP TWIRL?
ING THEM.
There was a long discussion before the Police
Roard yesterday over President Moss's proposition
to sbollsh the night stick. Chief MeCullagh took
part In the discussion as did Commissioners An?
drews and Smith. President Moss In Introducing
his resolution said:
"The unple.irant thins; Is the appearance of
policemen who have a habit of twirling their clubs.
These clubs look like cart rungs, and the sight of
policemen swinging them on the corner makes a
bad Impression. There is a great deal of resent?
ment In the nilndr of citizens against the disposi?
tion to exhibit the night stick this way. I under?
stand that the reason the men carry the stick
in their hands Is because It Is not comfortable to
wear It In the belt.
A general discussion then followed relative to th*
day stick, which Is worn In the belt constantly.
Patrolman Moran, of Commissioner Andrews's of?
fice, was present in the Hoard room, and his opinion
was asked. Moran void tha Commissioners that
the day stick was easy to break. He said that It
could not be used at all for calling assistance, as a
slight blow would cause it to break In two. It was
more of an ornament, and yet if used to hit a man
on the head would prove, more injurious than the
long night Mtlck.
"The night stick la the only stick to do duty
with," said Moran. "I have been in hard places.
and the thieves and thugs are ail afraid of the
night stick and revolver. I never heard of a man
being killed by the night stick, but If you hit a
man hard with a billy you will kill him."
At this point Chief MeCullagh was sent for. and
his opinion was asked. The Cnief stood up for tha
night stick. He said it was the most useful weapon
that the police cou.d have. Besides Its rapping
cjua.ltles. it was the only thing, he said, which po?
licemen could use to protect themselves In a crowd.
Chief MeCullagh illustrated how an officer with a
night stick could prevent attack and ward off a
mob. He said further that Police Surgeon Fluhrer
had informed him :hat there w.is not a case on rec?
ord in twenty years where a man's skull bad bten
fractured bj the nirih; stick.
President Moas th-n said that he defeated c.ub
blng worBi thsn anything else. He stated that the
':? oslv?. ? Itlsens ?is, In bis opinim.
a tin', taking money. Chief MeCullagh in
formed th? Commissioner that th. rules required
poll emen 10 wear their r.lgiu sticks In their belts,
1". ident Mom then Mid that if the Chief would
promts I to make policemen keep their night sticks
.:. their be.IS ne w mid lei his resolution iie on the
table. The Chlel promised that the rule wou.d be
enforced, and Mr Moss did not pre=? his resolu
?
burlrg the discussion Mr. Moss read an anony
letter whl n ha had received, and which evl
dvrtly was written by a patrolman. Some of the
sentences weie as follows:
if 1 were you for the short stay I would lay low.
! People know you are there yet. althoug.a?y.ju are
such a poor specimen of a man. Say. who are you
.,?. ' And ? hai are you .' What you don t know
would RU a b.g book. You are a beau'e, like the
guy who gave you your job. Two good things. I
1 might sign my autograph but have a presentiment
r would be unhealthy and prefer to remain a
patrolman, l suppose you are taking time by the
i k. You w.uit to abol.th the night club for
fear you might become too fresh yourself torn?
t Ighl when y 'U are an ex-commissioner and get g
, tatte of It. You are a hairy o?d boy?nit."

si. iie >a u mechanic
The policeman, who la a tail man and well-built.
1 Is said to have a good record as a policeman. He
told Magistrats Brenn that ha hud arrested the

there Tuesday night, and he oiaertd him to move

pushed him,
Magia.rate Hranti looked at Blunt, and said:
'You oilleeis ai ? entirely loo free with your cluhs

with your club. Why don't you admit that you
clubbed him in the bead?"
