CHIEF MORRIS on THE SITUATION.
For Reform in the Police Regulations
Conditions of His Resignation,

For Reform in the Police Regulations
Conditions of His Resignation.
There is considerable talk about the
reorganization of the police system and
the adoption of rules and regulations for
the government of the force, and it
seems that the matter has taken defin-
ite shape.
Chief Morris was interviewed by q
TIMES reporter yesterday, and said:
VI am now drafting system of rules
for the government of the police force,
whereby the work of POLICING the city
can be moro effec tually done. They
will be very stringent, and I have no
doubt some of the men will squirm a
little in the start, but it is the only way
that good and efficient work can be done.
These rules will comprise the re-
qulrcments of the officers both on duty
and at the station house before or after
duty. Personal appear rance will be con-
sldercd, but nothing relative to a mans
size will be cXacted. l put efficiency
before size, and none but good reliable
men can be officers.
but Roanoke cannot be cifcctually
policed with four regular men and five
specials. Old and we'll established
cownS nave one policeman TO every 900
inhabitants Here we have about one
policeman to every 1000 inhabitants
and miles of territory to cover.
"We need at least twenty-four men
and no specials. | also favor another
sergeant, change of hours, and gen
eral Strengthening out of the whole
affair, and if am chief of police an
other year it must be just as / state.
"Ihesc rules which l speak of will
be placed before the new board of COM
missioners and after passing through
their hands will be carried before the
City Council for ratification.
Something has been said about nv
resignation. That depends on whether
or not the Council grants me an in
crease of salary. | will not hold the
position for SO. That is now a settled
fact | was made chef when there
were but six men on the force. | have
done my best TO put good, respectable
men on the force. ! have tried to give
satisfaction, and if the people are not
satisfied with my administration Il
hint from them in authority will be
sufficient; | will resign

THAT X. ~ S. DEAL.

Nothing Definite Yet, But Interesting De-
vclopments May be Looked For
There was considerable discussion YES.
terday in Roanoke OF ths rumors that
an attempt might be made to purchase
the Roanoke and Southern by some of
the powerful railroad corporations whose
interests in Virginia require Southern
outlet. 1t is now learned that within
the past few months three engineers
have been over the line of tho Roanok O
and Southern examining the property
and tho resources of the country tribu-
tarY to it for as many different corpor-
atoms. One of them rode from Winston
to Nlartinsvillo few weeks ago testing
the grades and elevations wi IN accurate
instruments, and when last heard from
was camping short distance from
Rocky Mount on the line of the road.
The management of the road thus
far have not been approached on the
subject and it is doubtful if any pro-
prosition which is liable to be made at
present would be acceptable to il.
Practically, the future of the road is in
the hands of the North Carolina Con-
struction Company, which owns a large
portion OF the stock and about all the
bonds. There may be some interesting
developments in the near future regard
ing this valuable and promising prop
erty, but at present matters have not
assumed definite shape

WHO ARE IMPLICATED ?
BardsIey's Real Confession Said
to Have Been Clicked Off.

PHILADELPHIA, juno 1.-lSpeciall +
1t has been rumored for some time past
that Bardsley, the ex-city treasurer,
really made a confession which invol-
we'd the names of such prominent people
that its publication was stopped.
There seems no longer to be doubt
as to the truth Of the story and it is be-
lieved by the Investigating committee
that the confession is locked up in the
safe OF one of the lea ling news papers Of
this city.
There has been studied effort from
the first from Influences unseen to
block the investigation and TO shield
those who have been mixed up with
Bardsley and Marsh.
Whether the confession will ever be
published is doubtful, but the commit
tee hope to have the use of it to aid
them in developing clews.

THE DEMOCRACY.
Chairman Brice Calls for Or
ganization for the Campaign.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 1-TSpeciall
Calvin S. Brice, chairman of the nation
al democratic committee has issued cir
culars to the members of the national
committee and to the chairman of the
democrotic state COMMITTEES, in which
ne put great stress upon the importance
OIL thorough organization of the democ-
racy for the coming compaign. and par
ticularly urges the formation of demo.
cratic clubs in every state and neighbor-
hood. In his circular to the chairman
OF the state committee, Mr.. Brice saws:
The Importance of immediate organ
lzation for the Presidential campaign OF
next year must be obvious to every
Democrat. The timely and energetic
conduct OF onr opponents would DO
warning enough ii there we're no other
reason, for 1T is evident that they ex.
pece decisive results upon their extern
slve and well organized system Of Re.
publican clubs. 1t will be sustained by
money without stint drawn from The
pockets OF tho bcnefciarics of the
monopoly policy maintained by that
.arty.
1T can be met only by an equally en-
tenslvc and we'll organized system of
Democratic societies. The latter is
more appropriate to our purpose since
1t was the first organization of the Dem
ocratlc party in the United States. and
was tho instrument of agitation and de-
renee employed by the fathers of tho
Democratic party in tho first great
struggle in resistance to Federalism and
Tor the restoration to constitutional gov.

AN ERRONEOUS IMrKEssIoN.
The Clifton Forge Wooden Mills Will Not
Interfere with the Virginia Blanket Mills.

Interfere with the Virginia Blanket Mills.
An item printed in TIE TIMES several
days ago, stating that Il. X Sergeant
Dr., had been elected general manager
of the Clifton Forge Wooden Mills, has
led some people in Roanoke to think
that this indicated that there was some
doubt as to the Virginia Blanket Mills
coming to Roanoke, as Mr.. Sergeant is
the general manager Of those mills.
This is an entirely erroneous impress
sion. THE TINES is ablo to speak
authoritively in saying that it in nowise
lnterteres with the construction Of the
Virginia Blanket Mills, of Roanoke, and
That work on them will be begun i'm
mediately and pressed rapidly to con
clusioD.
MIR. Sargent has thoroughly identifiep
himself with the wooden interests of
Virginia, and is DESTROYS of occupying
the field as widely and thoroughly rs
possible, having the greatest confidence
in it's future.
With regard to the Clifton Forge
Mills, the situation was this: These
mills have been going ahead building,
and are about ready to commence run
ming. The question came up as to what
goods should be made, and the owners
found themselves at sea, with no head
to manage them.
They sent to Mr.. Sergeant and he
agreed TO help them out of their prcdic-
ament on certain conditions, one of
which was that his assuming the posi-
ton of general manager of the Clifton
Forge Mills was to in no way interfere
or take his time from the Blanket Mills
and he was to be sole judge as to what
time should be given to each; in fact
to have entire control Of the mills in
every way except the financial depart
ment.
MIR. Sergeant a once proceeded to put
the Clifton Forge Mills on their feet
and will make them first class in every
respect. He will be in Roanoke very
shortly, and on the com pletion of GER
tain preliminary details, work will be
begun on the foundations of the Virginia
Blanket Mills, as above stated.
