SELECT COUNCIL
REFUSED TO MEET
ONLY SIX MEMBERS RESPOND
ED TO THE ROLL.CALL.
Two of These Six Would Not Have
Voted to Approve tho Mayor's Dis
missal of Patrolmen Saul nnd
Dyer Messrs. Thomas and James
Were In tho Corridor, but Declined
to Come Into tho Council Chamber.
As Par as Is Known, Only Two of
tho Absentees Aio Out of Town.
Sejoit council did not fall over Itself
last night in a mad rush to help the
major oust Patrolmen Saul and Dyer.
In fact, It did not oven rush madly
enough to stumble. To get right down
to actual specific lact, It did not meet
at all.
The major's prOKtninme was to dis
miss Saul and Dyei and appoint D. J
Davis, of the Fifteenth waul, and
AVolles S. Hockcnberry, of the Second
waid, us their successors. This be
came generally known during the day
tluougli the activity of Patrolmen Saul
atid Dyer and the consequence was
that when the hour for the regular
meeting of select council arrived theto
wus no quorum present
Clerk Iavelle called the- roll and re
ceived six responses, Messts. Ross,
Sehneldei, Lansing. O'lloylo, Coyne
nnd Kearney answering. Adjournment
was made on motion of Mr. Ross, sec
onded by Mr. Lansing.
MADE A PROTEST.
Reforo the members had quit the
room, Messrs. Fellows and Schroedcr
put In nn uppearanie nnd piotested
vigorously, and, to nil appearances,
sincerely, against what they were
pleased to consider an unnecessarily
sudden adjoumment. Mr Schroedcr
kicked because of tho consequent In
terference to business Mr Fellows
kicked on that score, too, but had
something to sav, nlso, of nonsensical
attempts to frustrate the majoi's In
tentions. "Those men have got to go,"
he said, addressing Mr. Kearney, "and
you fellows might as well take your
medicine first as last."
Messrs. Finn and McAndrew arrived
at 8 15 and were seemingly surpilscd
that the council was not in session.
Messrs. Shea, James nnd Thomns weie
in the corridor Just outside the council
chamber all the time, but did not show
themselves Inside the meeting room.
The nbsentccs, besides the latter
three, were' Richard H. Wllllnms,
John E. Roche, T. C. Melvln, C. E.
Chittenden, C F. Wagner, George
Sanderson, P. F McCann and Edwin
Frnjile Messrs. Chittenden and Roche
aie out of town.
Messrs. Williams nnd Thomas aie on
tho petition of Appointee Davis, but
their desire to have him on the forcj
was evidently not strong enough to
cause them to usslst In displacing
Patrolman Djei Messrs McCann and
Melvln aro openl and unequivocally
opposed to the mayor's action, nnd Mr.
McCann, It Is understood. Is extremely
wrathy thereat, Inasmuch as he had
positive nssuinnce from the ninyoi,
through Chief Walker, of the fire de-
pal tment, and Stieet Commissioner
elect Thomas, that Patrolman Saul
would not bo disturbed
WILL PUT THEM ON.
It Is believed that the major will np
polnt Messts Davis nnd Hockonbeny
ns nctlng pntrolmen and put them on
the beats now covered bj- Patiolmen
Saul and Djei
The latter aie still film In their In
tention to not resign The mayoi gave
them until 2 o'clock jesteidhy after
noon to hand in theli leslgnatlons and,
w hen neither of them complied, he
wiote out their dismissals and enclosed
them in envelopes addressed to the se
lect council.
The lumor that three other pntiol
men nio booked for dismissal ns soon
ns the Saul und Djer cases ure dis
posed of was confirmed bj' a reliable
authoilty jesterdaj-.
Tho following Is from Major Moll's
inauguial message
"The establishment of a police foice
which will protect life and property
and secute the fearless execution of
the laws gieatly dependH upon the or
ganization und the discipline demand
ed While the present number of
patiolmen is too few to gie the city
the service which Its population and
laige aica lequlres, still what thej' lack
in numbeis they have In quality. 1 be
lieve the foue Is composed of excel
lent matuilal, all anxious to do their
whole dutj and I shall devote to tho
seivlce the best of mj' oneigies and
Judgment When vacancies occur m
tho foice Is Increased the selection of
those appointed will bo dictated bj a
desiie to secure the best men attain
able, and no Influence shall pi event the
dismissal of those who bv anv action
or negligence shall fail to peiform theii
whole duty. The superior officers shall
be icqulred to exact discipline nnd en
foice their authotlty and no requlie
ment will be exaited except that of
honesty and fidelity It shall be my
endeavor to so dltect nnd control this
bianch of our cltv government that no
questions of politics will be allowed to
li"pali Its efficiency or pievent Its ful
1. .inent of public confidence "
