Maury, who presided at til meeting, urged renewal of activities, including free concerts in the parks, community singing and entertainments, anl asked the club to do tits best to aid the Board of Park Commissioners in having the next Legislature pass a law whereby Cherokee road will become a parkway and not a thoroughfare for furniture vans, store wagons and heavy merchandise trucks "Instead of criticising the city administration," she urged, "let us report to the Board of Public Works all unsightly alleys, choked-up basins, overloaded garbage cans."

regularities in the police department. that he had never received money from taxicab drivers to pay Capt. Guelda, whereas, acording to the indictment, there is proof that be did. It is also charged that Klein re ceived a $12.50 check from James Sloan, a taxicab driver, which he later cashed, and which is now in the possession of Loraine Mix. Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney.

It is the cootentlon of the prosecution that the check was a contribution to the al leged 'slush fund" of the taxicab drivers. The Uidictment against Goldstein charges him with having sworn oe- fore the March crand jury that be did not know the contents of an affidavit he signed. In which it was stated that he and seven other taxi- cab drivers contributed $12.50 each I to a fund to give Capt. Guelda, in re- I turn for which Capt. Guelda was to give the taxicab drivers certain' stands on Walnut street, between Fourth and Fifth streets.

"There's nothing to it." said -Capt. Guelda when asked if he ever received any money from taxicab drivers. 'I never got a nickel from taxicab drivers in my life." "Is this in connection with the same matter about which you testified before the grand, jury a month ago?" he was asked. "Well. I don't know.

1 wouldn't like to eay anything that might get me into trouble." was the reply. It was charged by fellow-police officers last month that the "taxi driver business" was a "frame-up to get something on Capt. Guelda." Paul Burlingame. chairman of the Board of Public Safety, speaking of the grand jury's action, said: "The board has been acquainted with these charges against Capt. Guelda for two months and has made an exhaustive investigation into the matter, but it has failed to discover anything to incriminate Capt.

Guelda. The board went fully into the matter and delved deep into the charges, but up to the present nothing has shown up. against Capt. Guelda to convince the board that he had accepted any bribes. What may develop later I am not prepared to say.

"Before Capt. Guelda was transferred from the Second district to the First he made it hot for the taxicab drivers around Fourth and Walnut streets and made them toe the mark as far as police regulations went. It is the opinion of the board that the cabbies' went a little too far in trying to discredit Capt. Guelda. No one ever made a bribery charge against the officer.

The two men indicted were never before the board." WORK BEGINS ON BIG SANATORIUM Six-mile Construction Track Is Laid. Hopkinsville. April 25.
