THE MEMMEEEEELEE '1
Strong’s Removal of Parker Not Sus-
tained by Governor Black. -'
His GAUSTIG MEMORANDUM.
Inflrmlties of Members of New York Po-
lice Board Responsible For Depart-
mental Inetficlency --End of
a Celebrated Case.
I
Albany, July 13.-—Governor Black to-
day disapproved Mayor Strong’s de-
Cision embraced in the maybr’s order
of removal oi.’ Police Commissioner An-
drew D. Parker of New York city.
The governor filed the following mem—
orandum in refusing to approve Mayor
Strong’s action:
“In the matter of the charges prefer-
: yzu'pon which he was tried, was that he
.1proceeding of such magnitude, whose
' lei’fects must be farreaching and harm-
_‘_
I-H‘
the removal, and in an interview stated
red against Andrew D. Parker, a police
acommissioner in the city of New York.
iDisappmval of the mayor's order of re-
.moval. This is a proceeding for the re~
I'moval of Andrew D. Parker from the
{office of police commissioner of the city
of New York.
, “The proceeding was conducted be-
‘fore the mayor,rwho decided that such
Jrem'oval should’be made, and ‘it was
Linade, subject to the approval of the
' overn-or. The charge against Parker,
had neglected his official duties.
“I have carefully read all the testi—
mony taken upon the trial and the
.br‘iefs submitted by counsel. In my
judgment the charge has not been sus-
.ptained. A review of the testimony here
is neither necessary nor proper.
I "That the efficiency of the police
board could have been greater is un-
doubtedly true, but the failure to attain
such efficiency seems to have been due
rather to the infirmities of several of
j‘its members than to the neglect of one.
JThe offense charged is serious, but the
{testimony to support it is much of it
.El’tsfivial and as a whole insufiicient. A
‘iu'l, should not be instituted unless ev-
dence exists which is at least partially
adequate to the gravity of the charge.
;I am unwilling to dissent from the con—
clusion of the mayor, but I believe it
better for every interest to correct now
an error ‘vvhich, if sanctioned here,
would be finally righted by the courts.
I therefore disapprove of the mayor’s
decision."
The Case Against Parker. '
Formal charges against Commission—
er Parker were made nearly a year ago.
The charges were ordered by Mayor
Strong after several conferences with
Commissioners Roosevelt and Andrews.
They were prepared by Corporation
Counsel Scott, and the specifications
were neglect of duty in failing to at-
tend certain meetipgs of the police
board and delay in reporting certain
trial and pension cases.
Parker was placed on trial before the
mayor early in June last. year. He was.
defended by General B. F. Tracy, while
Mr. Elihu Root, Mayor Strong’s coun-
sel, conducted the prosecution.
Assistant Corporation Counsel John
Proctor Clarke prompted the mayor in
his rulings on the admission of testi—
mony. The principal witnesses were
Commissioners Roosevelt, Andrews and
Grant, Chief Clerk Kip, Chief Conlin,
Deputy Chief Cortright and the act-
ing inspectors. The trial was adjourned
for two weeks in order to allow Com—
missioner Grant to attend the Repub-
lican national convention. The trial
was concluded early in July, and coun—
sel on both sides submitted briefs. Par-
ker's defense was that when he failed
to attend board meetings he was en-
gaged in other police work of equal
importance and that no public business
was delayed by his absence.
When Mayor Strong went away on
his summer vacation, he carried the tes-
timony in the case with him and an-
nounced that his decision would be
made public soon after his return to the
city. He got back in August, but months
passed, and he did not announce his de-
cision.
I .
The Removal.
In time it came to be current gossip
that the mayor had been advised by his
lawyers that the evidence was not suffi-
cient to stand the test of review by the
courts. This was not denied, and when
the police board became deadlocked on
the question of putting Chief Conlin on
trial the mayor frequently stated that
he would like to remove Parker and
Grant, but could not do so.
. A committee from the City club called
on the mayor and, presenting charges
against both Parker and Grant, de-
manded that they be put on trial. The
mayor said that he would refer the
matter to the corporation counsel for
an opinion. Then after a. wait of two
weeks he surprised everybody by an-
nouncing the removal of Parker on the
old charge.
The mayor wrote a long letter to Gov-
ernor Black explaining his reasons for
that he had been holding the decision
as a. sort of club in the hope that Parker
would reform. .
Under the provisions of the consolida-
tion act the mayor’s remoVal of a. com-
missioner does not becdme operative
until approved by the governors The
governor, under the law, may review
the testimony in such proceedings.
When removed by the mayor and
governor, a commissioner may apply to
any justice of the supreme court for a
writ of review. If the court decides
that the evidence was insufl‘icient the
commissioner is then restored to office
with full pay for the time out, and the
city must reimburse him for all' ex—
penditures in conducting his defense
both before the mayor and in the
courts. ~

Many Norwalk People Give
Expression to it and with
Good Reason.
The remarkable cures accomplished
in Norwalk during the last seven
months are something to astonish and
convince the most skeptical. No won-
der the people believe in it; no wonder
a prominent druggist lately said: ‘Be-
lief in California CataI-rh 'Cure is an
article of faith in the Norwalks, be-
cause ,people know for themselves,with—
out regard to what any interested
parties say, of cures it has wrought
among their friends and neighbors. ”
Why 1 People have suffered for years,
and never dreamed they could get. any
relief by using anything and some day
a friend says: “California, Catarrh
Cure cured me, it will cure you, and
you won’t have to wait to find out about
it either. It relieves at once. ”
Here are the words of one of your
neighbors now, telling why she be-
lieves in it. You know that it is true
because you know her.
Mrs. John Lycett-, 21 High street,
Norwalk, says: "My daughter, Violet,
has been troubled since childhood with
catarrh, until her whole head seemed
more or less diseased. She had”. be-
gun to be a little deaf, and suffered
much with severe headaches so that
we have had to keep her out of
school a good deal. I sent
her to Plaisted’s drug store, South Nor-
walk after a. bottle of California Catarrh
Cure and she commenced using it. Its
beneficial effects have been simply
wonderful. It has helped her from the
first in every way. I have not heard
her complain of a headache for a long
time, and by the time she has finished
her first bottle, I feel confident that
she will be cured. 7’
Hay fever is entirely prevented by
the use of this wonderful medicine,
and when it is used colds never “ hang
on, ” but disappear promptly. For all
mucous diseases. All dealers, 50 cents,
three times as much, one dollar.

'i Pardon From th; President. '
Brooklyn, July 13.-—E. R. (38.1":1‘, the
'bank embezzler, who was sentenced to
six years and six months’ imprisonment
in the Kings county penitentiary for
stealing $30,600 of the funds of the Na-
tional Bank of Commerce in this city,
left the prison today a free man. His
release was secured by his 18-year-old
daughter, Miss Mabel Carter, who made
a personal appeal to President McKi-_—
icy.
Carter pleaded guilty to the embez—
zling indictment and was sentenced by
United States Judge Benedict. on Jan.
9, 1895. Many influential persons in
Brooklyn have been earnest in their ef—
forts to secure Carter’s release, but it
daughter that he was pardoned by the
president. , _
Carter wore a. suit of clothes brought
to him by his daughter and not the
regular prison garments. A black cut-
away coat and waistcoat,.gray trousers,
tan shoes and a brown derby hat com-
prised his outer apparel. He carried :1
Gladstone bag and walked rapidly to-
ward his home at 493 Nostrand avenue.
He passed a gang of prisoners in charge
of keepers at work on the road near
the prison and stopped and shook hands
,with each of the keepers. They con-
gratulated him-’01; his release. WWW"
FOREIGNBRS IN DANGER.
A Critical Condition Reported at Tien-
tsin—Precantions Taken.
San Francisco, July 13.—The Occi-
dental and Oriental steamer Deric has
arrived from China and Japan two days
ahead of schedule time. She brought
Yokohama advices to June 29. The Jap-
anese Mail gives a summary of the cor-
respondence from Tien-tsin, which says
that the state of the foreign'colony in
that city is alarming. Three Chinese
were killed in the last days of May on
the charge that they had stolen native
children in order that they might serve
as offerings to insure the safety of'the
foundations of the new French Catholic
cathedral, to be dedicated June 1.
A Tien-tsin correspondent says: “It
is reported that a conspiracy has been
formed to attack the foreign settlement
and burn the Roman Catholic cathedral.
The consuls of the various nationalities
have deemed it prudent to telegraph the
facts to their governments and to ask
for the protection of men—of—war. The
gate leading from the foreign settle—
ment to the Chinese quarter is closed
every night at 11 o’clock. The Japanese
gunboat Akagi is now at Taku in re-
sponse to appeals from the Japanese
consul. Chinese soldiers are quartered
in various parts of- the city for the ex-
press purpose of checking rioters.
