In Sing Sing interviewed. and 1t publishes
these in It's issue OF last Sunday. They
all declare that the Byrne method Is the
only one by which the criminal classes
can be successfully dealt with, and the
World takes their opinion as proof that
this is so.
Upon the contrary, we believe In the
principle Of never doing what your enemy
wants you to do. and we adhere, there
fore for this and other reasons. 10 the
idea that Rooseyelt's notion is the correct
one.
Last Saturday evening Mr.. Roosevelt
assembled all the men who have recently
been promoted to the place Of rounds
men. and he made the following address.
lie said:
"Roundsmen, / want to tell you how
YOU happened to be appointed and what
we expect Of you. why those whose
places YOU take were reduced. and what
you must do 10 avoid Ike disgrace.
To my great regret, I was obliged 10
refrain from making permanent the APP
pOntment of one acting roundsman who
had been promoted for gallantry simply
because he failed TO do his duty. In one
precinct, the Twenty-siSth, an four
roundsmen were reduced because they
made too few complaints on the late
tours when the men were not doing their
duty.
we expect you will keep the men up
10 the mark. keep them on patrol. Ihey
don't patrol. They lounge.
II don't want a large number OF tri-
,-f.. ,,,,,,il ft.fo fTn.. won't count
In several cases your promotions were
the result OF gallantry. Bourkc is one,
for arrosting a man who claimed he had
a pull. eX-Assemblyman Callahan. The
board was reluctant to make that promo
ton because he has been only six months
on the force. and it behooves him to keep
up his record. We want vigilance, daring.
and courage.
Each OF you knows he owes his place
for his record and acts in the depart
ment: not to pun. You want to under
stand that no friend can help you and
no enemy can harm you.
First OF all, we want honesty. We
will turn out any man if we find him dis
honest. Then we want courage. the same
II YOU were in the national army. You
must risk life and limb in the perform
ance Of your duty. You've got TO be
vgilent and use common sense.
IF | find many burglaries, highway
robberies or other similar crimes in
precinct, I'll not only put on trial The
officer on whose post the crimes occur
hut also the roundsmen, and it will 90
hard with them"
Then Mr.. Roosevelt took each man in
turn by the hand and told him just why
he had been promoted, showing that he
remembered every mans record.
That is the true policy. Let the men
understand that they are EXPECTED 90 be
vigilant, daring. and courageous. and
mat they will be judged according to the
way they display these qualities, and
that no friend can help them and no
enemy can harm them. and police force
Of the first quality will be developed
Our own Police Board should adopt sir.
Roosevelt's address as the inspiration Of
its own conduct, and It should make the
police force feel that it will be dealt with
upon those lines, and absolutely upon no
ether.

When Superintendent Byrnes was at the
head of the New York police force he
kept his eye upon the criminal classes by
a sort of partnership with criminals. Mr..
Roosevelt has broken all of that up. lie
is organizing the police force upon an
understanding that the criminal classes
and the police are to be as absolutely
enemies 10 each other as the northerner
and the southcrner were during our war.
And he Is right

4 Carolina Football Authority Gives His
Views


Mr.. Perrin Busbee, an authority on
football, was seen yesterday upon his
return from Richmond. and speaking
about the defeat Of the University of
North Carolina team by the Virginia
boys said:
Il can express no opinion i'm regard
TO the disqualification OF Merritt and
4 ollier. as the alleged smuggling took
place across the field from where | was
seated. But there is not the slightest
doubt in my mind that Merritt's removal
from the game was the direct cause OF
Nirginias scoring. Virginia made most
OF her gains around Steele, VINO was
substituted In Merritt's place, including
the two trick plays on which they scored
| do not think they would have fooled
Merritt. Carolina literally played all
around Virginia up TO the time of the
touchdown. our line was simply i'm
pregnable, and our ends so good that
Virginia did not attempt 10 run them
After Virginia had scored, they managed
10 get the ball near the centre OF the
field, and. taking "A magnificent brace
worked the ball within foot OF the goal
line by well-executed tandem plays. most
Of which were directed against Steele
Carolina's line however, got together
again. and held Nirginia's mass plays
for four downs and In the few remaining
minutes carried the ball we'll into Nir-
ginia's territory. 1t was magnificent
effort in the face of defeat, and one OF
which any college would be proud.
have never seen such magnificent punt
ing as was done by Butler just at that
time. But apart from any unfair UNI
piring, North Carolina lost the game by
fumbling the bail when within striking
distance of the goal line
THE crowding of at least l,N0 specta-
tors upon the field was disgrace to the
management, and materially interfered
with end men. North Carolina had made
most OF her gains on these plays before
the grounds were blocked and stephens
was once or twice seriously interfered
with by the crowd. "-Raleish IN. CO

Burglars Tools Found in a Dead Mans
Pockets.
Raymond Paul and E. A. Rusal, boys,
discovered the body of young man on
Railroad avenue beside the rails at Ocean
View yesterday. AS they found the body
face downward in water-channel, or
creek, they lifted it out upon a sandy bank
and then informed the police at Ocean View.
In turn the Coroner was notified, and he
had the remains removed to the Morgue.
A search showed that the dead man was a
burglar, as he had large collection of
skeleton keys, nlppers for turning keys
in locks and a lock-pick. But there was
nothing on him to reveal his identity.
He was about 25 years of age, stoutly
built and above middle height. His face
was smooth shaven, round and coarse fea-
tured, with eyes far apart and fat nose.
The hair was fair and brushed back off the
forehead. He wore heavy CATERS, black
striped trousers, blue flannel shirt, a coat
and vest of faded dark material in check
pattern and light brown soft hat. To all
appearances the dead man was known to
the police, which fact will be determined
to-day.
1t is supposed he had been stealing a ride
on a train, and was either thrown off or
Jumped and fell upon his head. Coroner
Hawkins believes he was killed by frac-
ture of the skull.

most concerned all the MEMBERSHIP cleo
ton of officers.
The first ballot resulted in the selection
of Samuel Newma n, who was late Demo
cratic candidate for member of the COM

Stanton and Mr.. Clark. while Chairman La
Rue voted for John Markley The chair
man was evidently prepared for such re-
volt, and simply announced that the bal
lot showed that Mr.. Newman had re-
ceived majority of votes and was conse-
quently elected.
The cause of Mr.. Clark's support of New
man for secretary became evident when
the election of a bailiff was taken up.
Chairman La Rue proposed the name of
j. III. Milsap, formerly treasurer of Glenn
County, with the remark that he was in
every way competent man.
Mr.. Clark followed by naming James V.
Kelly, the late secretary of the board and
DR.. Stanton said that he had no nomina-
ton to make.
The vote showed that both DIR. Stanton
and Mr.. Clark supported Mr.. Kelly for
the position and he was declared elected,
DR.. Stanton thus rewarding Mr.. Clark for
the latter's support of Newman.
When the election of a stenographer
was taken up each of the Commissioners
proposed candidate, Mr.. La Rue nomi-
naming Mr.. Lombard, the incumbent,
and DIR. Stanton indicating his preference
for Stephen Porter.

Mr.. Hinton is one of the best-known pio-
neers in the State and has been closely
allied with Democratic politics of this city.
AS a member of the Board of Supervisors
he made a creditable record and was al
ways opposed to the squandering of the
peoples money on useless propositions.
He was a candidate for denomination
at the last Democratic convention, but
he was not successful in securing a
place on the local ticket, it being evil
dent that the powers behind the conven-
ton were too strong for him. Gov
ernor Budd, however, recognized the
service Mr.. Hinton had rendered his
party and placed his name on the list of
applications for appointment to the Office
of Registrar of Voters. A number Of lead
ers were making fight for the place, and
even up to the last moment politicians
were dubious about the news of the old
printers victory.
Mr.. Hinton was not at his Office yester-
day afternoon, nor could he be found about
town. Several Of his acquaintance were
interviewed, however, and they spoke of

trations, and even that when it comes to
