Dahlman Asks All Of Council to Run The Police Force Continued from Paga One.) Ant u Saloon League Leader to Be Pastor of New Church at Randolph Rev. F. A. High to Return to His Former Congregation Under New Assignment by Bishop Stuntz. his plan would not interfere with the investigation to be held next week. "If it should be true, as alleged, that Kugel has not had the backing ot tlic city council, the plan 1 suggest will give him that backing. What ob jection would the public have to the whole council running the police de partment? We would tell the chief uf police that he should not have a man in the department who is inter ested in a private detective concern. If we are to be charged with his re sponsibility now is the time to assume such responsibility," added the mayor. It the chiet cant maintain dis cipline, as the West Leavenworth Improvement club charges, then there is something wrong," said Commis sioner Butler. Kugel interposed: "I don't see anything wrong with the police de partment." Butler: "I do." Kugel explained that under civil service- rules of his department IN can t suspend or discharge a man without action by the whole council, and thus he is not allowed the free hand he believes he should have. Says Something Rotten, Ed Thompson of the improvement club: "Kugel's hands are literally tied. If there wasn't something rot ten it would not be possible for us to go to the Owl club at any and all hours." ' i Commissioner Parks: "Kugel has been abused and shot at until he is in a state of high nervous tension. He is very nervous right now. It is time for the council to help Kugel. There has been too many bosses in the police department. I favor the mayor's suggestions." Butler insisted that the investiga tion next week should be a sweep ing one; that the public is entitled to know how many heads there are in the police department. "Let the investigation be held and let the chips fall where they may. We can't have harmony in an or ganization wherein the chief of police does not speak to the chief of de tectives for two years. I would hold the chief of police responsible for the department," remarked Commissioner Jardine. "This is no all Detective Sutton's side of the affair," added Butler. "There is something rotten in the police department.- We want good government and we want police serv ice," was a comment by Mr. Ham and oi the improvement club. Charges Against Maloney. Kugel's resolution for the suspen sion of Maloney: "Whereas, Stephen Maloney, chief of detectives of the city of Omaha, has heretofore had associations and alleged connection with the members of an institution known as the Omaha Detec:ive association, and, "Whereas, As a result of said asso ciations, and growing out of the same, criminal charges have heretofore been filed in D.iwes county, and upon preliminary nearing under said charges the Slid Stephen Maloney has been bound over to the district court of Dawes county, Nebraska, for trial on said criminal charges, and, "Whereas, It is deemed to be for the best interests of the police depart ment of the ciy of Omaha that any member or officer thereof should not be engaged in active duty while un der charges and awaiting trial; now, therefore, be it "Resolved, Sy the City Council of the City of Omaha, That the said Stephen Maloney, chief of detectives of the city of Omaha, be, and he is hereby, suspended temporarily, said suspension to continue until hearing be had upon charges, which are here with filed." What Dunn Alleges. Chief Dunn's charges against Ma loney: "That the said Stephen Maloney has been guilty of conduct unbecoming-' an officer as more particulars stated in specifications hereto attached.- "That the said Stephen Maloney on the 31st day of May, 1917, was bound over to district court of Dawes county, Nebraska, under complaint charging him with a criminal offense under the laws of the state of Nebraska, towit: "Having conspired with certain other parties to commit blackmail; said proceeding and, finding all re sulting from and growing out of the association of the said Stephen Ma loney with certain other parties, the members of the Omaha Detective as sociation; said associations and con nections oi the said Stephen Maloney have heretofore and do still materially interfere with and prevent the proper performance of his official duties as chief of detectives, all to the detri- Rev.
