QUESTIONS CHIEFS VERACITY
Commissioners Say There Will Be
New Police Executive if.
He Did Not Tell Truth
Harry E. Dean, executive secretary
to Alexander Galloway, chief of p
was removed by the police commission
yesterday. Chief Galloway said that
he wanted Dean removed because he
is not a stenographer. Throe eominls
sioners voted for Dean's removal and
two against it. Before the si
ended two of the commissioners ques
tioned the truth of a statement by
Chief Galloway.
The question of the chief's veracity
arose at a stormy session of the com- :
mission yesterday morning, called for
the special purpose of removing Dean.
Mayor Alexander and Commissioners
Davidson and Johnson vot^d for re
moval and Commissioners Topham and
Wellborn a gainst it.
Dean declared after his removal that
he would prefer charges against Chief
Galloway and that liis bill of partic
ulars would be varied and i xtenslve.
When informed that Dean had threat- I
cned to bring charges, Chief Galloway
said:
"I do not care who files charges
against me or when or where they are
filed. I do not care when I leave
the department and I did not care
when I went into it. This Is not a
matter that I care to discuss in the
newspapers. No, I prefer not to make
any statement, at least at this time."
Pro-ceding the public meeting at
which Dean was removed there was
an executive session in the mayor's
office. It was evident that all was
not peaceful, for there was a warlike

spirit among the commissioners when
they gathered around the public board.
The chief said that he wanted Dean
r. moved because he was not a stenog
rapher.
"He is efficient in many ways." said
the chief, "but as he is not ■ stenog
rapher lie lacks one of the qualifica
tions T consider necessary to the po
sition."
This is the first time that a knowl
edge of stenography has been consid
ered necessary for the position, as
previous executive secretaries have not
been Bhorthand reporters, and Dean is
the fourth man who has held the po
sition under Chief Galloway.
Commissioner Topham had an idea
that this was not the only reason why
the chief wanted Dean removed.
"Why did you go to the civil serv
ice commission and demand that one
of the qualifications for executive sec
retary be a knowledge of stenog
raphy?" ho asked. The chief denied
th.it he had taken the initiative in
tliis matter, but had susßosted it when
asked by the sivii service commission
what should he the qualifications for
such ;> position.
This is the point on which the chief's
vi i.i ity is questioned.
"I'll vote for this removal," said
Commissioner Davidson, "but if I find
that the chief is not telling the truth
111 be the first to move that he be dis
charged."'
"And if I find he has not been tell-
Ing the truth he must either be dis
charged or I'll resign from the com
mission," responded Commissioner!
Johnson,
In response to a written communi
cation from the civil service commis
sion, nskinLT what <j!jal;fieations should
be required, the comnrssion voted
three to one to require that the ex
ecutive secretary have general office
training, the ability to meet the pub-
Lnd be an efficient stenographer,
n beh] the position on an emer
gency appointment, as there are no
eligibles on the civil service list, but
the stenography requirement elim-
Inates him from the examination. The
position pays Jl7" a month and is one
of the most desirable of the clerical
places In the city.
Chief Galloway yesterday afternoon
shortly after :t o'clock notified Dean
that his services would be no longer
required. In explanation, he handed
Dean the following letter:
"Dear Sir: In connection with your;
work as executive secretary I wish
to state that your work has neen that
of a conscientious and efficient serv- ;
ant to the department and it is my
desire that if opportunity offers to be
of service to you.
"The position of executive secretary
to this department, in the opinion of
the chief of police, demands an ef
ficient stenographer, and of course you
are not qualified in that capacity.
"A. GALLOWAY,
"Chief of Police."
