I only repeated the conversation I had with hint on the next day after he returned from Panama on about March 1. this year. 1 meant no reflection on Mr. Howell, but only had reference to certain local reports In his pa pet, and he now assures me that there was no intention on his part to discredit the work which 1 have h* en trying to do in this city, and that the article that appeared in the reportorial columns of T he Constitution was without his knowledge and consent, and that it was not his Intention nor does he approve of anything that would in the least hinder or dis credit the work that the police department has ben trying to carry out. I would regret very much in deed to have any utterance, of mine construed into an attack up on Mr. Howell, whom 1 have al ways regarded, >nd now esteem, as an exemplary citizen and Jour nalist who holds the merited confidence of the public, ns he does of my department and of myself J.

"When I returned from Panama the Chief complained of the local report referred to. I explained to him that nothing was further from our inten tion than to discredit his work, and that following The Constitution's oft- repeated commendation of his high sense of duty in endeavoring to en force the law, he would have our cor dial support to that end. "He thanked me*, recalling the fact that two days after the houses were closed I had sent for him to tell him that his attitude would have The Con stitution's support. "Next morning- September 26 The Constitution's leading editorial. A Wholesome Kxample.’ unqualifiedly approved the Chief as 'an official with the nerve and tie- courage to enforce the law.* stating that ‘he has set a singularly wholesome example of a blunt interpretation of duty.’ "I am still of the opinion that no good eitlzen would invite the return of the segregated district, nor the spread of its attendant evil in other direction*. In my talk with the Chief 1 expressed my doubt as to his ability to absolutely eliminate the evil, and w hile tiie segregated district has been dosed we are still wrestling with other phases of the problem. "I think the Chief Is doing the best he can. and lie hould have the sup port of all good citizens in his ef forts." Let Me End Your Tooth!
