CATCHING A COBRA.

couple of professional snake charmers. One of them strikes up a tune near tho

place where tho cobra is supposed to bo.

An Article in The Sun Says

Chief Dolan Is Sacrific- __

- ing the Captains.

f'

Tho Sun published the following article

to-day about the Polioe foroe: The polloo force of this city Is In a state

of demoralization and disorganization us a result of the evident intention of Polioe Commissioners Pyle and Clarkson to drive every Democrat from tbe position

now held by him. The department is completely In the air.

So confident ore the men that plots have been laid for them with a direct purpose of obtaining an excnee to order their dis

missal. that every officer from tbe cap tains down to the patrolmen are In a state of uueasluees that is couduolve of disor

j

\

) ,* ?

ganization. Tho attention of every reputable citizen

[

has been directed to the workings of tbe

Police Commission durlug tbe last two

weeks and disapproval is evident among

nearly all.

*

Yesterday the Absence of Police Com missioner A. J. Hart was frequently men tod on. Mr. Hart bad gone to Hot

Springs, Vo. This :s believed to be a part

L

1

of tho deep laid scheme now lu the course of operation. Ic was said yesterday by

several prominent mea that Hart has left

Commissioners Pyle uud Clarkson alone

la the conduct of ihclr own plans with the

idea chat he can return when these two ,

Commissioner* have thrown out tbe Dem

ocrats aud say that he had no haud in it

and

not present to protest against

such action. Mr. Hart's political friends expect him

to stuy at Lis post and face the music and

unless lie ran satisfactorily explain bis present action hi* political associates claim

lt

that he wil( be politically dead.

The source of the entire trouble seems tolleiu Commissioner Pyle. It is open

ly charged that Pyle is trying to trade the

polico department for the re-electlou of

his brother lsaftp us city auditor. For the

success of his plan, it Is claimed, he de

pends largely on CWef of Police John F.

Dolan aud right there is wtWf* the most astonishing incident In connetJMw* with-*--** ^

ilie whole agitation figures.

It is bJlieved by many that Chief Dolan

Is sacrificing his two captains, Messrs.

Kaue aud Chambers, nndlfneod bathe

whole force, to save hlimelf.

This claim is made by close students of

the situation at polico headquarters. Tiioy

say that Pylo and Clarkson have deoldea

to prostitute tho department, to throw out

the Democrats, even at the expanse of ere-

ntlug disorganization in the force aud

have set to work to do it nt ODce. Their

original plan included Chief DoIau, but

Pylo found be usoilod Dolan to

the

City Audltorship for his brother, Iu no-

cordance with tills Pyle wlU

Dalan**

head and in return the Chief will be

pouted to present Commissioner Pylo with

sufficient counollinauio iufluenco to insure

the re-election of Isaac Pyle.

This me of; tho police department to

settle porsonivl grudges ami pay political

ilebt9 is condemned by the reputablo oltl-

___ of the town. But the fact that is be

ing done iu evident. All tho while Ser

geant Masreyand Black are spending the

time boosting their game for appointment

chief and captain respectively.

This prostitution of Wilmington's ex

cellent police force is iloplored by the

jorlty of Its citizeut. Iu fact there is a

decided movement among prominent men

of all clasBOs irrespective of party affilia

tions to protest against this prostitution.

The effect of Commissioners Pyle and

Clarkson's determination to pay their po

litical debts by dismissing men from ths

police force is disorganizing the foroe.

This is not denied, ns evidence* of it exist

y bund. The men in unfer

tain ood. They constantly

tile

lookout for trap * set by tbe

mission.

In view of this ibo men cannot gi cili-

cieut service. It is believed that all this agitation will

ovonluallv load to City Coauoil, where tion will bo taken against Commissioner

Pyle aud Clarkson. These mon can't dis

organize the police department and g-)t

away with it. It appears to be simply a

matter of tbe prostitution of the depart*

mont and popular sentltnont. Is against that. Should Commissioner Pyle|*)ioceed

ill bis deal with Chief Dolan at thV sacri

fice of Captain Kano and Chambers, and

should ho be upheld In it by Commlsdoner

Clarkson it is bollevad tlmt the two com

missioners will bo charged with causing

t he disorganization of tho police force aqd

will be thrown out of the commission by
