To The Honorable City Council, Miami, Florida. Gentlemen s - Attached hereto you will find a oommunication from Chief of Police, W.J.Whitman, 'which fully explains itself. I beg to say to Your Honorable Body that I have investigated this matter and failed to find evidence to substantiate any charge against Mr. Whitman, other than Drunkenness, which he admits. I have not talked with Mrs. Ritchie about this matter, but through her husband, had en, appointment with her, but he oanoelled the appointment. I also attach hereto a oopy of a communication I sent Mr. Whitman in regard to this matter I wish to state to Your Honorable Body that under no circumstances will I tolerate drunkenness on the Police Force, especially by the Chief, but knowing Mr. Whitman to be greatly humiliated and truly sorry, and this being the first offense, so far as I know, and he promising so faithfully never again to take a drop of liquor while in the service, I deoided to give him a chance to redeem himself and demonstrate to the people, with whom he has lived so long, and who at the Election ahowed their faith and oonfidenoe in him by giving him such a flattering vote, that their faith and confidence was not mis- placed. I will state further that while I do not anticipate any more trouble with him from drunkenness, yet should it ever occur again, he will immediately be discharged from the service. It gives me pleasure to state that during Mr. Whitman's administration, the Police Force has done very efficient service, and has been nearly self sustaining. No hold-ups, burglaries, or robberies were committed in Miami during last winter, but several suspioious parties were driven from the city. While this is a very unfortunate occurrence, I am satisfied it will be a very severe lesson to Mr. Whitman, and I earnestly believe he will render in the future the very beat service that he possibly can, if given an opportunity to do so. Respectfully Submitted, (Signed) J. W. Watson, Mayor. Miami, Fla., May 26th, 1914. Hon. J. W. Watson, Mayor. Dear Sir: - I wish to make to you a statement in regard to the charges published in the Metropolis of the 27th. The true facts are as follows: I was somewhat intoxicated, I am truly sorry to say, . I drove up to that section of the city in search of an old lady with four or five grand- children, that are dependant upon her, and they being in straitened elrcumstaneea,and as you will remember you wished me to look into the matter, aid not knowing exactly where to find this party and seeing Mrs. Ritchie on the porch, I stopped and went into inquire whether or not she could give me the address of the old lady, and I suppose Mrs. Ritchie seeing my condition, became startled and rose to go in the house, then I tried to explain that I was the Chief of Police, and pointed to my badge. Nothing was farther from my . thoughts than any intention of frightening or insulting Mrs. Ritchie. I can only say that I am very sorry that this occurred and wish to apologize for the aame,I admit that I was intoxicated, and also give my word of honor, that I will not again use liquor while I remain in office. Respectfully, (Signed) W. J. Whitman. Miami, Fla., June 4th, 1914. W. J. Whitman, Chief of Police, Miami, Fla. My dear Sir: - Yours of May 28th reoeived, and replying to same, will say that I regret very much to know that you were so derelict of your duty as to get intoxicated, as stated in your letter. You were elected to this position by a large vote, showing that the people had faith and confidence in you, and you should not have abused it in such a manner. I desire to thoroughly impress upon you that under no circumstances will I tolerate drunkenness on the Police Force, especially by the Chief,who is at the head of the de- partment, and whose every act should be above reproach. I have given this mutter much oonsideration and serious thought, and as you have made an efficient officer up to this time, and promising so faithfully never to do so again nbile in the service, I have decided to give you one more chance, and I earnestly hope that you will conduct yourself in the future in such a manner that I will never have cause to regret having done so. ale I do not believe it will occur again, yet I want it thoroughly understood 1 between us, that Should you get drunk again while holding the pemition,',Wet 40 WkOMi will be taken, but that you will be .immediately discharged from the Ier Ste... rink sure this will be.a severe lesson to you,'`mod I hope, seeing your *UUtak., that profit by it, and show the citizens Of Miami that you not only appr eoiate another * portunity,' but that you will endeavor to merit it. Yours truly, (Signed) J. W. Watson, Mayor. Moved by H. G. Ralston, seconded by J. A. McDonald, that the communications of the Mayor be received and filed. Motion carried. June 4th, 1914.

McDade from the police force that they be allowed to appear Monday night June 8th for a hearing and that they be suspended during the time. Motion carried. H. G. Ralston thought under the circumstances that the Chief ought to be suspended too, but although he hated to sustain Mr. Conrad's motion, he would do so. The City Attorney explained that according to the Charter the man had a right of a hearing and he had prepared a resolution to that effect, and that the motion approving the Mayor's action in suspending these men should be rescinded. Moved by H.G.Ralston, seconded by C.F.Filer that the motion made approving the Mayor's action in suspending H.E.Lee and F.L.McDade from the Police Force is hereby re - :winded. lotion carried. Councilman Ralston thought that the meeting ought to be opened so that any persona in the house could be heard on the police question. Dr. Merrill advised Council that Dr. Faris was to speak, but after hearing the case would be heard Monday night, left the building. The Dr. thought that both sides ought to be heard. Mr McLendon thought that the Mayor and Councilmen ought to control the situation and the public should be disbarred from taking any part in the proceedings. After a heated discussion, between Dr. Merrill and Mr. McLendon, Mr. McLendon sustaining the actions of the Chief, urging that he be given another trial and the Dr. advising an immediate discharge, the time for discussion as allowed by the Chairman was up.
