Must BE Enforced or Police
Board Abolished,

Topeka, Kas.. Aug 1l.-(SpeciaI) A war

worth. John Harmon, president Of the
Civic Federation Of that city. has served
notice on Governor Leedy that the pro-
hibitOry law must be enforced there or
the police commission abolished and the
city permitted TO run its own affairs. This
threatened outbreak at Leavenworth Is re-
markable from that fact that that town
has had Joints from the time when meIn-
Ory Tunneth not 10 the contrary. The
threatened insurrection is caused. says Mr..
Harmon. by the police commissioners and
their few political friends gObbling up all
the revenue OF the jOintists and failing 20
whack up with the taxpayers. The com
missioners get rid OF the money and IL
doesn't decrease taxes any. One way they
have Of eating II up is 10 employ thirty
eight policemen. where half that number
could do the work. Ihen there are other
ways. II Is said that certain boss IS
getting about 500 monthly out Of the deal
