Yeager Is Deposed Pending Investiga tion of Charges Filed by Anti-Saloon League Council Refuses to Oust Zell G. Roe as Superintendent of Public Safety. Des Moines, Aug. 13. The city coun cil took up its Investigation of the charges filled by the Iowa Anti-Saloon league against Police Chief George A. Yeager this afternoon. Pending the trial of the case A. B. Ellliott, who was appointed by the council to fill the temporary vacancy, will be In charge of the police department. Because those who brought the charges against the police head regard Elliott as a strong and fearless man, they are very hopeful over the pros pect that there will be nothing with held in the police department and that the hearing will be an Impartial one. For a time it appeared that it would be Impossible to secure a temporary chief of police whose Interests would not be warped, and It was the deter mination to get such a man that led the council to go outside of the police department entirely and take a disin terested citizen. The city council refused to approve Councilman MacVIcar's suggestion that Roe be temporarily removed as superintendent of public safety, and the mayor placed In charge of bis de partment.
