Public Snfety hnR a right te demote any one he sees lit without recourse te the trial beard, or even giving n reason for his action. Captain SlcC'ench was demoted by the Police Trial Heard of the Civil Service Commission, en charge of "neglect, in efficiency nnd disobedience." filed ngalnst him June 7, 1020. ' He lefused te nicept this verdict and began mandamus proceedings te get bnek his old job as captain. He was sustnlucd In decision given by Judge Rogers, who held that no facts had been produced te warrant the cnptnln's demotion. "The trial leuit." Judge lingers held, "must hnve pertinent facts en which te rest its findings. If thc-e pertinent facts arc lacking the finding of the commission cannot be sustained. The testimony represented Is quite in adequate te support the conclusions of I the' commission." The Supreme Court did net dispute the facts nlleijed bv sludge Kegers, and reversed him for quite another reason. Justice Walling, who wrote the ma jority opinion, held that thc.re exists no "law te prevent the demotion of a policeman without formal proceedings before the Civil Service Commission Unless restrained by statute a city muj J nromete. ilemete or disc niree a nonce- I man at will under the rule that the Power which appoints mny remove." , Supreme Court Justice Ixcphart wrote I a dissenting opinion, in wlucn lie sajs; "By the opinion of the iimjnrlt of this court, unj officer in the police! force may be demoted without trial., without reason given or cause shown, wcrely en the order of the Director of Public Safety.
