14 MOONEY GIVEN CHANCE AND MAY REGAIN STAR BEFORE END OF WEEK Police Captain Deposed by Schmitz Board Asks . Review of Case DISCUSS NEW CHIEF Dark Horse Is Expected to Win Favor of New Commissioners John Mooney, who was removed from his position as police captain by the- Srbmitz board in its last desperate days, may be reinstated by the new commission if it is shown that the re moval was the result of revenge in the face of insufficient evidence to con vict Mooney of the charge of insubor dination. Theodore Roche, attorney for Mooney. will appear before Presi dent Charles A. Sweigert and the board this afternoon and ask that a review be*«ranted. In all probability the new board will grant the request. The transcript of testimony taken at the Investigation will be offered the commission. This will be reviewed by the board and at the meeting Thurs day a ruling In the case will be made. If the new commission deems that the evidence on which Jlooney was de prived of his star was' lnsufficient and that he was declared guilty of insu hordlnation through motives of re venge on the part of the old com missioners the police board \u25a0will adopt 1 a resolution instructing the city attor ney to have the judgment annulled. Superior Judge Seawell has under consideration a petition for a writ of review. If he should deny, the request before the police board can act Mooney will have no ground for expecting a review from the board, but should the superior court delay its action Mooney will have a good chance of being rein stated. Mooney's removel came after he had given out a newspaper interview in which he said that the old police board was guilty of irregularities. DARK HORSE: MAY WIX "When the commission meets this afternoon it will devote itself to dis posing of the accumulation of routine business and it is not expected that the subject of a new head of the de partment will be considered in the open session." although when the board meets in caycus this morning at 11 o'clock there will be a general dis russion. The rumor that a dark horse may be' first to the wire still is preva lent. '•\u25a0.\u25a0• .:.?: :\u25a0.•*•\u25a0...\u25a0•' It Is likely that the new commission will express itself today on the policy of limiting and gradually eradicating thg cafes and side entrance saloons in the residence district, against which evil Sweigert already has taken a de termined 6tand. Petitions from two sa loons for permits to conduct cafes in the rear \u25a0will be considered and there is little doubt that th«-y will be denied. One place Is the Log Cabin saloon in Market street near Polk, and the other Is a saloon In Haight street between Fillmore and Stelner, in the midst of a residence district. The commlEFioners have not yet de rided who shall be chief of police. The work of Captain M. O- Anderson is win ning the; praise of the commissioners, but It Is not believed that Anderson will be selected. He is not making a fight for the place. Assured of the energy, ability and fairness of Anderson, the commissioners will -show no haste in electing, the chief, but will make a thorough canvass of the field and wait until tjiey have found the right man. The new commission will meet in caucus at 11 o'clock this morning in the secretary's office prior to the regu lar meeting at 1:30 o'clock in the after noon. It is expected that President Sweigert will submit the list of special duty men appointed by Dlnan and that several will be. transferred from their "soft" jobs to patrol duty. Among the detective sergeants appointed by Dlnan are Charles H. Taylor, Harry P. Braig. T.P. Riordan. D. G. Bell. James Regan, Patrick ' O'Connell, Peter Fanning. Stephen V. Bunner, John B. Freel. Thomas A. "Wallace. George A. Graham and James McGowan. Just how many or these will be ordered : to street duty is a matter of conjecture.' \u25a0 AAXIOUS ABOUT JOBS Others detailed for. special duty, are Sergeant Campbell, in charge of the city prisou, and the attaches with one exception; members on duty -at head quarters and substations and others de tailed "with official bodies. . One change was made yesterday, when Policeman John WV Standley ,' of Company B was detailed to the mayor's office in succession to Detective Ser geant Fanning. Standley incurred the displeasure of Dinan and his commis sion by playing no favorites during the car strike at the barns at Twenty-ninth and Mission streets.. The result of today's meeting is eagerly looked for by members of the department, some hoping that they will be allowed to remain in their present Jobs and others that they will get the chance" they have been praying for. Sweigrert . was/ in consultation for nearly, three hours yesterday morning •with -Secretary Skelly of the commis sion, poing: carefully . over the books and reports and making himself"fa miliar, with ;the routine .work. CITY DOCTOR DISMISSED FOB'^MORALCDWARDiCE" Dr. Arthur H. Reinstein, an interne at the city and county hospital, was dismiseed , yesterday ; from the city hos pital service on charges preferred at the meeting' of. the health board ac cusing him of "moral cowardice.** Dere liction of duty was another charge made against the doctor, who, It was declared- by. Dr. -H. E. Powers of the board, had shamefully neglected a pa tient'afflicted'; with an" infectious mal ady,,from which he subsequently died. Realizing that his dismissal was immi nent. Dr. Reinstein sent a note. to the board yesterday resigning "for obvious reasons ," as he . expressed it. After a statement of the 'case by Dr. Powers the board unanimously adopted the res olution: dismissing ; Reinstein. The patient whom Reinstein neg lected .was : . Jeremiah O'Leary, an at tendant at the hospital. While dis posing of the. garments of a man af flicted with whatvwas 'believed to be bubonic plague O'Leary. was ; Infected through. a. cut on his hand and died Au gust si^Hßipn The board . listened to and approved reports - showing how \igorously-; and thoroughly Health Officer Watkins and his,, force -/had cleaned: up the, filthy prices from \u25a0 which a fetr cases- of sup posed plague had been taken. 'A reso lution was adopted calling" on the su pervisors for money -to prevent the spread of contagious r diseases. - The board also announced that it would meet every \u25a0 forenoon until " further notice.
