Republicans Have Plan to Place Entire
Control in the Governors Hands.
SrRISGFIELD, Ill, Dec. 1.-THE
much-talked of metropolitan police
bill, which is to be submitted to the
Legislature at the present special ses-
sion, and which is expected to take the
Chicago police department from the
control of the present democratic city
administration, has been made public.
The bin provides for board of three
persons, appointed by the governor,
which shall, have full power to appoint,
discharge. promote and degrade police
officers under civil .servisce regulation.
The mayor is given control of the de-
partment only in times of tumult or
riot. and the chief OF police is left with
but little power. The bill is expected
to meet fierce opposition from the
democratic minority.

Liberty, Mo-, Dec 10-Judge E
