Huge Farce' "Judge Sears believes in farces; 1 guess we better try these ce." Po lice Commissioner Tnomaa G. Greene. Contending that the decision of Judge Sears of the circuit court in the cases of the depoeed city detectives, Joe Day. Frank J Snow, L, , G., Carpenter and Joseph T. Resing, was vacillating ra m reference to the trial power of the po ll r-a commission: but feeling that to ' proceed without the sanction of the ex ecutive board migni injure cun the eupreme court, the commission yes ' terday postponed acUon against the Ac cused . of flclals. ' - Objected to IToeeedlnfS. , , When the case were called in the rommlttee meeting yesterday, Attorney It. E. Moody, representing the four for ir.j n.iiutri te the nroceed- Jnaa and moved to quash, set aside na ennui tne cases iii v. .... the ground that the police commission had no Jurisdiction, power or authority. 11- nnntAnilAd i that Under ttlB provisions Of the city Charter trials of this character muii te nia umvi i executive board as a whole instead 01 a ' subordinate committee. - - -Neither Commissioner Greene nor Commissioner Sabin agreed, with Attor? rey Moody on the point he raised, but the former-thought it might be best to bring the matter before the executive hoard primarily. . , v. Originally the matter was laid be fore the police commission on tne charges fifed apralnst theex-sleuths by Chief Grltsmacher and Captain Bruin, but was not introduced at the meetings of the executive boards. Following the ubuhI method of procedure Mayor Lane, who dl-:nlsed the detectives from the , service, this morning' filed .-written .charges asrainst the detectives and the matter will be brought up in the board meeting tomorrow and can then be re ferred to the police committee for con sideration. Upon this method the com mittee is willing to take Its chances in the supreme court, If the Base ls ' taken higher up. ; j ", , Commissioner Sabln Is of the opinion that the police committee being duly appointed bv the mayor from the ex ecutive board has the power of final opposition of the cases, but stated that in deference to the wishes of Mr. Greene he would let the matter go to the executive board for action. .. ' Ken Stand Suspended. ' Just before adjournment Attorney Moody asked If the decision of the com mittee to adjourn meant the annulment if the proceedings, but Mayor Lane rromptlv Informed him that it did not. whan MAfxiv inked if his clients re mained suspended from the service pending the. board's findings, Mr. r:rnn rnlid that they certainly did. Commissioner Greene apparently has little recaid for tne decision or juage Sears, a-written copy fit which he char acterized es a mans of parenthesis and unintelligible punctuation. He stoutly maintained that further proceedings in the case on order of Judge Sears were larclcal, as he believed that the ques tion was one which lies .wholly In the province of the police .committee. - Oscar F.' Isakson, the patrolman who filed charges against Captain Bruin, which resulted in finding some 75 exam inations illegal, including his own, re ceived no encouragement from the civil service commission, and when his appeal for reinstatement came up yesterday the commission postponed action on it until the next meeting. , IIEAVY DAMAGES ASKED BY- ?HIS INVENTOR A suit for $62,000 damages over a pat ent suspended electric railway system, alleged to be one that will revolution ize street railway traffic and reduce the cost of construction 99 per cent, Is on trial before Judge Sears in cir cuit court today.
