BONEBRAKEFAV IT
The Topeka Banker Wants the
Metropolitan Police Law.
SOmE GOOD REASONS GIVEN
BY Mr. BOnebrake why the Law
should Not be AbrOgared.

BY Mr. BOnebrake why the Law
should Not be AbrOEared.
Mr. P. L Bonebrake has written a let
ter to the Kansas City, Kansas Gazette in
reply to the question as to his opinion Of
the metropolitan police law.
The questions asked Mr. Bonebrake
were.
First, are you in favor Of retaining
the metropolitan police lawS and whyT
Second, what amendment, if any,
would you suggestr"
In response to these questions Mr.
BOnebrake said:
the law for two reasons, efficiency and
economy. Myself and two other persons
were appointed commissioners for this
city by Governor Humphrey. and held
the Office for two years and until re-
moved by change of administration.
w hen we assumed Office, the laws relating
TO sales of intOxicants. houses of prOsti
tuition and gambling, were very loosely
enforced " thin sixty days after our
appointment sales of liquor were confined
to the drug stores. bOotieggers and holes
in the wall IN back alleys. The last two
were so closely followed by the police
and detectives that sales were at the very
minimum. Gambling was far pro-
hibited that places for that purpose We're
rented outside of the city limits. while
prostitution was confined to places where
there was but one occupant The police
were vigilant and impartial, knowing
their places were not secured by politl-
cal services The net expenditures on
account of the police department were 81
015.36 per annum less than the last year.
when the department was administered
by the mayor and council 1 am frank
to say that in good hands the law is
very good one, because Of freedom from
local Influences. In bad hands, it is q
bad law for the same reason. As to
amendments, but one is needed, and that
would be to allow the board Of police
commissioners to appoint police attor-

his place. We also excused a clerk in the
Santa Fe Offices, who couldn't serve with
out losing his position"
Somewhat of an innovation was made
in drawing the jurors this time. The
professional jurors" we're ignored com
pletely and the representation OF BUSH
ness men was unusually large
The scramble for places on the jury at
the last term was disgraceful, and
source OF great annoyance to
Judge Hazen. as we'll az Sheriff
Burdge, County Clerk McCabe. Justice
Furry and others who draw the jury. In
order to be free from this annoyance,
Judge Hazen ordered twenty four Jurors
drawn instead Of twelve, which relieves
him of the duty of selecting talesman
jurors.
1t is an offense punishable by a heavy
fine for any person to. attempt to become
a juror Or seek it ia any sense. There
are many people in town who not only
ask those in authority for place on the
jury, but demand it for political services
rendered.
The jurors were drawn by Sheriff
Burdge from a bOxful Of names With
out reading the name be handed il to
County Clerk NcCabe Mr. NcCabe an

wrote it down and Justice Furry in-
spected it.
