14 CAPTAIN MOONEY IS REINSTATED IN HIS FORMER COMMAND Commission Puts Zealous Officer Back at Bush Street Station TO BE REPRIMANDED Anderson Refuses to Become Permanent Chief of the Police Department C&ptain John Mooney got his old job back yesterday. The police . commls .«-ion«rs repudiated the action of the dn posed Schmitz board and announced at yesterday's meetiflg that the zealous police officer would appear for duty, this morning at the Bush street station Jn command of Company E. The comrnls- Fioners, however, decided that the cap tain had been guilty of Injudicious con duct and had been. indiscreet in his re marks, for which the old board "broke" him, but It was the judgment of the new board that dismissal from the serv. ice was excessive punishment. Besides It was Intimated that it would be poor policy to. punish Captain' Mooney by dismissal, because wocld Inflict injury to the department In the loss of a captain who had showed himself not afraid to do his duty, even though he offended the mem bers of a corrupt administration. How ever, it was the judgment of the 'board that Captain Mooney should be repri manded for the offense. The reprimand 'nil! be administered at the next meet- Ing of .the police commissioners. Captain Mconey was called from his work along the red j light district of Golden Gate avenue and adjoining streets, which he had only just begun when he was dismissed on charges of speaking 111 of the commissioners and former Chief of Police Dlnan. A long conference between the members of the commission and ,Mayor Taylor was held prior to the session, but no permanent chief was selected. Acting Chief Ander son persists in his refusal to serve per manently, though he has been impor tuned to do so. Illness in his family prevents him from assuming the addi tional responsibilities that attach to the chiefs office, and as soon as the com mission and the mayor agree on his successor Anderson will return to his duties In the Mission station. He ex pressed himself pleased yesterday at the action of the commission In restor ing Captain Mooney to his old position. J. " J. Costigan, proprietor of an em ployment agency, appeared before the board to answer charges preferred by the Italian consul through the latter's secretary, C. A. Casamyto, in behalf of six Italians, who accused Costigan of accepting their money and failing to provide the jobs which they had been promised. Costigan said that a misun derstanding was bound to arise occa sionally when dealing with foreigners who did not understand English, but asserted that -whenever there was a mistake the laborer got his fee back. Th*> case was taken under advisement. Charges were preferred against Pa trolman E. F. Lawrence, who was ac cused of beating R. Garnell in the Potrero and taking papers from his pocket. Patrolman H. R. Smith was charged wjth drinking while on duty. Their cases will be heard next week. £ Patrolman E. T. Davey. who fired a shot at C. A. Reynolds after a quarrel last July, was before the commission and wanted to resign, but was not per mitted to do so. He will have to stand trial before the board on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and dis orderly conduct. The case will come up next week. A Handsome Banner A beautiful specimen of hand em broidery on silk is now on exhibition In a window of the "City, of Paris" Dry Goods company, showing that our Native Sons are not hesitating to place their hope in the future of the Golden City. .

Jones, in fact, was* a . pariah in oflicers', row. But through all the .testimony Captain Clark rendered ; there was neither, af firmation nor derilaljOf a counter charge that, this ostracism' was due" to the. fact that Jones \rose from the* ranks and never, had a day in his life at the school at "West Point. , . .
