lice force generally. .
Chief Dinan, presented a new set of
charges conforming to the require
ments as" Imposed the' superior

granted and the.. case will be sub
mitted this afternoon.. A. special ses
sion of the commission will be called

pers testified that the • interviews pur
porting to \u25a0 have i, come from . Captain
Mooney, , which were printed last April,'
were- true expressions of «. Captain
Moaney*s' utterances. The witnesses
alleged that the stories. published were
correct: and that the captain had se
verely ;. censured the police commission
as < well as; the police force. 7
• Detective' P. Fanning "testified ' that
Captain Mooney had complained to him
of • alleged wrongs' done by the com
mission.., ;' .
Previous to the hearing of' the

$50 each: for .unofflcerlike conduct.
Charges : of. extortion/ hanging over
them v were- dismissed through Insuffi
cient evidence. \ '"**

duct, the principal witness . against
him being., Mrs. Ella Ballard of 152
Clara » etreet, >who . made grave charges

soldier .'and picnic "warrior Is 'over."
This fact, •he saysr Is amply proven by
N the r work. of the state troops in the
present encampment. -
: "I. express in my ' report," ) he said,
"great satisfaction 'with the manner In
which -the -present joint maneuvers
with' the United States . troops have been
conducted.; -The benefit to the national
guardsmen .will be Immeasurable. No
ticeable, too^are thßr friendly relation
ships between -the . organized, militia

ha 3 not always been /observable In the

-//'Since this last Inspection 14 organi

remaining ' troops, .which have> been^: or
ganized'tiinto- three -12^' company,- regi-.
merits, " as s fixed " by the . Dick ; bill. /This
measure makes national appropriations
certain . to the ; state. . It will eliminate
the idea which \ls passing now that the

\u25a0 "I recommend that the government
permit frequent instruction of a nature
