ing suits brought afier the time limit
ed by statute involve claims in aggre
gate ' amounting j to $12,000,000. Of
many other .claim? apparently pend
ing, no actien had been - taken for a
long timet and therefore the Assistant
Attorney General moved to dismiss
them for Mhe want of prosecution.
There were S,198 suit3. Tte motion
was granted in 1,190 cases, and 1.217
were dismiss id by . the consent of

In the Committee investigating the
Police Board, Major Richards, Chief
of Police testified that Murtaugb, the
President of the Board, had requested
him to watch Representative Wbitt
home, and if found in any questionable
place to arrest him. The motive was
to break the force of the report of the
Naval Committee.' The scheme does
not appear to have been a plot to en
tice Whitthorne into danger, or to ar
rest him on any trivial pretext.
