BIG TASK FOR MARONEY
Recently Appointed Member of Po
lice Board a Man Without Fear
Who Has Proven His
Worth as Reformer.
ST. LOUIS. Jan. 21. (Special.) The
most searching investigation and far
reaching reform ever attempted In a large
city in this country has been plannod and
Is to be put into practice in the police de
partment of this city.
Governor ICqlk has given instructions to
Andrew C. Maroney, whom lie recently
appointed a member of the police board,
to" "make the St. Louts department as
near a model as human nature will per
mit. A majority of the board will back
you up. Use your own methods, but clean
up the whole department."
Maroney is a lawyer and a fearless
man, who knows four-fifths of the 1300
policemen personully. In the boodle pros
ecutions he was Folk's right-hand man,
and know nothing but his oath of office
In performing his duties. He it is who
is going straight down the force, from top
to bottom in the purification crusade. A
score of grafting policemen already have
been guillotined and the skldways have
been greased for the ousting of Chief
Kieiey, who is marked to go.
Chief Is Gambler's Choice.
There is no charge that Kieiey has prof
ited pecuniarily from his office, beyond
his legal salary. Ho got his job through
h erneo of Harry H. Hawos. the paid at-
. torney of the Tilles-Cella-Adler gambling
trust the influence that lias aone more
than any other to corrupt the Police De
apartment of St. Louis.
Chief of Detectives Desmond is also "on
the hook." He is one of the best thief
catchers in the country, and his pecu
niary honesty never has been questioned,
but he has trained with Kieiey and al
' lou-PfJ tho Influence of the old political
party to be felt In his department. He Is
unofficially charged with tolerating the
known grafters in his department to keep
his own peace with the powers behind
the throne
Unlike Mr. Roosevelt, whon he was Po
lice Commissioner of New York, Maroney
has a free hand to clean up to the limit,
assured that he will have no opposition
from the men in authority above him or
with him.
Circuit Attorney Sagor, a Republican, is
taking an active part In the overhauling,
and is working hand in hand with .Ma
roney, a Democrat.
Hard Men to Pry Loose.
One of the first victims of the ax was
Detective Killian, a perfect type of, the
diamond-adorned "plain-clothes" man. He
was charged with associating with and
profiting from the thefts of a notorious
"panel" woman. Killian Is the nephew
of a prominent politician and business
man, whose wife Is related to "Ed" But
ler, boodle-broker and Democratic boss.
About town the detective boasted that
his job was "copier-riveted," and, in
spite of his notorious conduct for years. It
was not believed he could be pried loose
from the department, even by the new
board. He and his friends guessed wrong.
Then it was learned that Detective
Thomas Kiely, son of the Chief, had been
in the habit of "borrowing" generous
sums of money from dlvekeepers. who
would not have trusted him for a glass of
beer had he not been a detective and "the
eon of the Chief." Young Kloly's fate
was the same as Killian's, and came just
as swiftly.
Talks With Panel-House Woman.
Recently, Commlslonor Maroney spent
IS hours talking with Ollie Roberts, who
formerly ran three resorts in this city,
but who is in the Jefferson City Peniten
tiary for murder. Each of the Roberts
womaj's resorts was a panel-house, and
in the years she ran them under police
protection the aggregate of the stealings
was enormous, although far short of
$1,000,000, as reported. Commissioner Ma
roney, refusing to make public informa
tion on graft in the force, said:
"Whon wo get through with the depart
ment it will be a model. There will not
be a politician or grafter on the force.
AVe are going from bottom to top. Once
divorced from politics, it should be a
comparatively easy matter to keep the
two separate."
Chier Ordered a False Report.
An incident that promises to have much
bearing in the future investigations is
the dismissal from the force, some time
ago, for making a false report, of Ser
geant Harry Dorsey. He admitted falsi
fying a report of an assault on a citizen
at a polling place during the primaries
in which the racetracks were an Issue.
Dorsey swore that he made thcroport at
the dictation of Chief Kiely.
The guarantee of the future thorough
ness of the investigation lies in the char
acter of the Governor, Commissioner Ma
roney and Circuit Attorney Sager, and
in the systematic manner in which the
preliminary work has been done.
Curiously enough, no ono man In the
department stands out as the logical suc
cessor of Chief Kiely under the new re
gime. Most of the men who would have
been in line have allowed themsolvs to
contract the taint of politics if they have
been guilty of no greater offense. Under
the law the board must select a chief
from the ranks of the force. It is not
likely that any haste will be exercised in
the removal of Kiely.
CHROME WORKS ON FIRE
Loss in Plant Covering: a Block in
Baltimore Will Be Heavy.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 22. Fire started
after midnight this morning In the plant
of the Baltimore Chrome Works and
probably one-half of the extensive plant,
covering a city block, and containing
much stock ready for shipment, was de
stroyed. The fire was still burning at
1:30 A. M., but it was believed to be under
control at that hour. The loss will be
very heavy. It is impossible to estimate
it now.
Road-Builders Will Meet.
ALBANY. Or., Janv 2L-(Special.)
County Judge c. a. btewart has fixed
February 5 as the date for the annual
meeting or road supervisors. .Notice has
been sent to all supervisors to meet at
the Courthouso on that date, and. the
entire day and evening will, be '-devoted
to a study and discussion of systematic
