SAMUEL W, GOODE CLAIMED BY DEATH 3 CITIES COMBINE ON CANAL PROJECT IS GREAT FAVORITE Veteran of Civil War and Col. Goodyear to Represent Little Val Has Worked Up a Profitable Busi- Former Leading Real Estate Man. The action of the police commission In withholding reward money frdm, members of the force and turning It; Into the police relief association took I ,, new and interesting turn Saturday j when Police Commissioner Howard mtlllo declared the action of the com mission was entirely illegal, and came out In a strong statement In opposition to the movement. Sir. Pattillo asserts that only four members of the commission were pres ent when the plan was decided on. and : mat, ns this number does not constl- j lute a quorum, the action was void, sir Pattillo Is strongly In favor of the reward money going to the individual I uolicemen who earn it by catching j criminals, and does not hesitate to say I lhat the members of the force are be ing treated unfairly. The police relief association will meet ‘taturday afternoon and It Is expected Lome dehmte action will be taken look ing to the remedying of the present dissatisfaction existing among the po licemen. On account of the’ feeling of the men a movement has been start ed It Is understood, to have the relief association petition the police commit Linn to rescind Its action. T\'hen seen Saturday by a Georgian reporter and asked for a statement, Commissioner Pattillo said: "I was not present at the meeting when the commission decided to take the reward money from the members Of the force, but I am satisfied the action was illegal. Only four members of the commission were present and this Is not a quorum. Following the meeting the minutes were sent to me to sign, but I refused to concur In the action on the reward matter, and so wrote on the minutes. "I am opposed to the action because I believe It Is an Injustice to our po licemen. And my main reason for op position Is the fact that If you deprive the men of the rewards, to which they are Justly entitled, It removes a strong Incentive for them to do their duty. If a policeman risks his life and cap tures a criminal for whom a reward has been offered It Is nothing more than right that the officer should re oelve the reward. When you take I out of his pocket and turn It Into the police relief association you strike a fatal blow at his interest In his work. HU Incentive to capture dangerous criminals Is gone. If a person wants to offer a reward and some policeman earns that reward. I see no reason why It should not be given to him.” . Mr. Pattillo cited one Instance of the commission's action that he termed a decided Injustice. This was the taking ,,f a 150 reward from Policeman Har ris and giving It to the relief associa tion when Officer Harris is not even r member of the association. The police, men say they feel thoy have done their full duty to tho association when they pay their regular monthly duos, and say they think they ahould not be de prlved of their reward money.
