Voiced last night nt a meetlns of thcH Patrolmen's Benevolent anu i-roicruvr Association in a meetinc at their lirnil quartera, 122 South Thirteenth street. tTho purpow of tho assemblage was to dlscuis this issue. The members of the association vere exasperated when they learned that their protest to tho Civil Service Com jnission, asking tho removal of the ex convicts from tho force, could not be recognized becauso of n "loophole" in tho new city police bill, which went Into effect last July 2.".. Their execu tive committee now ha-i gone before the commission to demand that the men be taken from the force under the un repealed law of 1SSH. This law states that a man oonUrted of n crime and not pauloned is ineligi ble for tho police force. The present city law as embodied In tho new char ter provided that charges against a po liceman can only bo preferred by a su perior officer or a "taxpayer." or this retaon the civil service board has refused to recognize their complaint. To meet this situation it is thought that the association will choose one or l.i. ...,,v,v. irtin h iironerty-owning taxpayer and bavo him enter a protest ns an Individual, wun tne Mm i tho entire police force of the city who are anxious to remove from their de partment the stigma of having the cx convlcts retained on their rolls'.

We would be just as vigorous if these men were members of the association, but they are not, nor were any of the men con nected with tho Fifth ward outrage." The four patrolmen who have caued the Btorra are Sherman II. Clark, Ed ward ICeegan, Edward Bcllerbby and John Weever, all now on duty in the Sixth district. Nearly three years ago they were convicted of brutally assault inc defenseless prisoners in their cells at the Eleventh nnd Winter streets station.
