HUDsoN's LUCK.
He Was Discharged, Although Ther
Was Criminatinor Evidanne

He Was Discharged. Although There
Was eliminating Evidence.
In the case of Jake (or jack Hudson,
tried in the Police Court on Saturday for
receiving stolen property, the two .prin-
clpal witnesses were youths named Cole
and keefe. The boys testified to having
sold various halters, whips and a. buggy
robe to Hudson and that they told Hud-
son the property was stolen.
Young Keefe was especially quick IN
responding to the questions put to him
and acknowledged, with remarkable
equanimity. that he stole things without
much effort. He was not sure of some of
the articles exhibited in court, but was
very positive that he and Cole stole the
most of them. The robe he acquired sur
reptitiously) all by himself and sold it to
Hudson.
When asked by Attorney Anderson if
he did not like to see Justice meted out,
he replied; 80, yes. like to see every
body get cleare' AS for himself he only
stole things to get money, and took every
thing that came thandy.'
Cole, who is under charge of burglary,
was more conservative, and the impress
sion conveyed by the evidence was not
sufficient, in the opinion of the court to
convict Hudson, who was discharged
keefe seemed bright and quick young
man, but his early moral training is to be
regretted as something most wickedly
wonderful

PRoMIsEs OF NO VALUE.

Don't you think" Mr.. Smith, 'that
the gamblers and other violators would
go in heavily for some particular candi-
date for Mayor on his promise to appoint
a Chief of Police of their liking?" asked
the reporter.
'Oh, that's too imaginary, entirely"
said Mr.. Smith with an impatient ges-
ture. "Why, in order to go into a
combination of that sort they would
ular candidate for the Mayoralty,
but also a majority of a board of
nine Trustees. You. seem to forget that
under this proposed new charter the
Mayors appointments must be con-
firmed by the Trustees, or else they
DON'T go. TO elect Board of Trustees
and the Mayor, too, and then take
chances on their pulling together after
election would be rather heavy contract
for even the gamblers and other violarors
you suggest TO undertake. It's a pretty
hard thing to do nowadays with our new
ballot law, intelligent voters and watch
ful newspapers. They might capture the
Mayor all right enough, and the Trus-
tees, but without both their money and
labor would be for naught. The Trus-
tees alone have nothing to say whatever
about who shall be appointed by the
Mayor until after the appointment is
made. The charter specially provides
that they cannot even suggest the ap-
pointees to him."
In conclusion, Mr.. Smith said that it
was his honest belief that if the people
would take the trouble to read the charter,
especially those departments referring to
the election Of the Mayor and his APP
pointments, they would see the value of
the document, and it would be adopted
by an overwhelming majority.

charter the appointing ola Chief of Police
VIII resolve itself into the selection of ex-
perlenced police oi1icers-men right from
tne force-and when a good man IS Sc
cured, the chances are that he Will con-
tlnue in the office as long as he continues
TO do his duty. The new charter specially
provides that the Police Captain and the
Sergeants shall be selected from the reg
ular force, and, although it is not so pro-
vided, don't see why the Mayor should
not select an experienced police officer
for Chief.
NO MORE AMATEURS.
"There viii be no more getting men
who know nothing, and never did
know anything, about police work
which has been the great trouble
with Sacramento's police department
Of Police undoubtedly should be filled
by a man who has made police and de-
tective work study and a profession.
You would not think of voting for car
penter for Judge of the Superior Court,
would you? OF course not; you would
think it ridiculous to have anybody there
but a lawyer. And | think the same idea
should apply in selecting the head OF the
Police Department. OF course | under
stand that the Mayor may make poor
selection. But in that case he does not,
like the people do now, have to wait two
years TO effect a remedy. A good Cap
tain may have been selected, and he may
be put into the Objectionable Chiefs
place Immediately, or anybody else, in
fact. whom the Mayor might name.
There is still another point to be made
in favor OF the change proposed. Under
the present system there is little en-
couragement to police officer to make a
record for himself. He knows he is only
in for one year, and he is not likely to ex-
ert himself any more than he can help.
But, under the new system proposed, he
is a permanent officer, to be removed
only for dereliction of duty or other
good cause, and, by proving himself
competent, stands good show of promo
tion-to be selected Sergeant or Captain,
or possibly Chief. This will be almost
compulsory on the part of the appointing
power, particularly in the case of select
ing a Chief. As l said before, the Mayor,
being responsible to the people alone,
and being a target for all kicks and
complaints of wrong acts, Will be
bound, for his own protection,
to select a competent and experienced
man-and where else can he get one eX-
cept from the regular force, where the
men have chance to show what they can
do? Again, as | said before, all this will
tend to encourage the police officers to do
good work and be yigilant, and as nat
ural result we would soon have "a city in
which citizens might walk about without
fear of being knocked down and robbed
on the public Streets"
