COUNCIL VOTES PUNISHMENT.

For Policeman 8u!llvan For Clubbing Geo. Johnson.—Mayor aaya The Punishment la Excessive And Votea Against It, Declaring Vote Lost.—: Legal Opinion Called For.

t Although the Common Council by a

vote of 5 to 3 voted to punish police­man Owen Sullivan for an alleged unjustifiable clubbing of Geo. R. John­ston, the Mayor came to the rescue of the officer and demanding his right to vote upon the resolution, voted with the minority and then declared tho resolution of punishment lost, on the ground that the city charter provides that the votes of the mayor and four aldermen were necessary for the re­moval of an officer, A storm of pro* test waa raited by the aldermen and the Mayor called upon the city attor­ney to know if he was right. The let* ter said that as he read the charter, the Council might suspend a perron indefinitely, which would the same as dismissal, and that he believed the Mayor was right in his position and so advised him. i

Complaint having been made to the Common Council regarding the action of Policeman Sullivan in strik­ing young Johnston on the head with hia club, it being alleged that Johnston was n»t taking part in the trouble that followed the starting of a bon­fire by football enthusiasts and waa there solely as a spectator, the mat­ter was referred to the police Com­mittee for investigation. Two sea* sions were held and witnesses on both sides testified and the investigation closed. Aid. Murphy and Lynch presented a majority report to the Council. They found that the law was being violated and believe thst Policeman Sullivan was discharging his duty in trying to prevent it, "but it does not appear from the evidence that it was necessary for the officer to use a club". »They deprecate the action of Sullivan in clubbing young Johnston, but made no recomenda-tions, leaving the matter to the Coun­cil for any further actkn.

Aid. Kelly said that he was unable to agree with his colleagues on the police committee and presented a minority report. His finding on the evidence was that Sullivan was not justified in striking the boy. The officer made no attempt to arrest Johnston after he struck 1.1m with his club; he did not call upon the other three policemen to help him arrest the boy, neither did he call upon any citizen to assist him as the law provides. But later when Sullivan met Johnston on the street he asked him "Do you know who hit you?' to which the boy replied: "Yes, it waa you." The officer then said, "Did it hurt?" which Aid. Kelly characterized as ad­ding insult to injury. The tecom-mendations of the minority report was that Sullivan b? suspended from duty for 60 days without pay.

On motion of Aid. Jones, seconded by Aid. Whalen, the minority report was accepted by a vote of 5 to 3, Kelly, Jones, Parker, Walen and Boyer voting for, and Lynch, Ciutterbuck

J\ and Murphy against it. Several votes were necessary to

finally accept the minority but it waa accomplished by the vote as above. The point was raised that another motion was necessary to make the punishment part of the report opera­tive and Aid. Jones moved that Policeman Sullivan be suspended for 60 days without pay as provided for in the report adopted. This was carried by the same vote of 5 to 3.

Mayor Hoard then characterized the punishment at excessive and unwar­ranted. He held thst without con­currence of the Mayor the motion waa lost and that he voted against it, and declared it lost.

Aid. Murphy attempted to explain his position, and on pornt of order being raised he was declared out order and asked to sit down by the Mayor. He insisted on saying that they did not make any recommendation but left that for the Council.to do and then no one could say that it waa a frame up by his committee. Again the Mayor told him he was clearly out of order and to sit down.

Protest was made to the ruling of the Maytfr a.id the city attorney was asked to give an opinion in writing at the next meeting of the Council.

WATTER FOR CAREFUL INQUIRY Japanese Minister's Diffidence in Prea>

ance of Emperor Is Cauaa of Funny Break.

' The late emperor of Japan waa re­garded with the greatest veneration by his aubjecta, and this attitude of awful reverence waa maintained alao by hla ministers, in spite of the fact that affaire of state made it necessary for them to see him and converse with him very frequently.

One of these ministers, the Marqula Uutsugata, uaed to experience agonlea of nervousness every time be had an audience of hla sovereign, and he waa never able to say anything distinct In reply to him except the set phrase, "I ahali have careful investigation made, your majesty."

Tbla generally brought him safely through a short audience, but one day, unfortunately, the emperor conde­scended to discuaa the marqula' mora, -private affaire.

"How many children have you?" the emperor asked.

Back came the Inevitable phrase, "I aball have careful investigation made, your majesty!"

The story loses nothing from the fact that the marqula had a very large fetu'Jy Indeed.

Oswego. Dec. 1.—Starting at $20 ' a month milking cows on the dairy farm of Paul Shneible in the town otT, Scribe, tbree miles east of this city, Thomaa F. Slavin of Potadam took his first position on a three year test of reliability and independence for an inheritance of $20,000 which will be coming to him in event that he makes good at the end of that time. , He came to this city Wednesday night and registered at the Adams House and ate hia Thankagiving din­ner there Thursday leaving five min- %

uUa later to take up life on the Schneible farm.

Hia story ia like that old one of * Grimm's of the three young men who left home in different directiona to seek their fortunes. He ia one oi three triplet brothers, so mueh alike in appearances and mannerisms that , a few weeks after their birth their parent* could not remember which was born first. A rich bachelor uncle worth $25,000 at leaat, wanted to make hia senior nephew his heir but was unable to determine which would get hia estate. He therefore arrang­ed a strange test to prove the relative worth df hia nepbewa. The three voung men according to. the terms of the pact which he drew up started from Potadam Monday morning at 6, one going north, another west, and the one now on the Schneible farm south. Monday waa their birthday and $ach started out with a capital of $5, with the understanding that the boy who returned at the end of three -years with the best education in ex­perience and with the most money or its equivalent, would be the uncle'a heir,

Thtynaa, who was elected to go south reached Watertown on thj first lap of hia journey *nd then came here. His funds were necessarily ex­hausted and he determined that before going farther he might aa well start in working bis way. The only posU Hon open was that on the' dairy farm and he took it. Each boy must keep a record of his employment and the money which he receives and an ac­count for ail expenditures, eo that the uncle may better determine just who is most worthy of the estate.

Young Slavin intends to work for a month and then contiune his journey south as he and his brothera agreed that in three years of wandering they should go as far in their chosen dir­ection aa possible.
