In one of the discussions at the peace
conference at The Hague, Capt. Mahan,
one of the American representatives,
pertinently asked why the employment
of gases should be interdicted, while
the more cruel, wholesale destruction
of human life aimed at by the employ
ment of submarine torpedo boats should
be permitted. "a shell charged with
asphyxiating gas need not necessarily
destroy human life," he said, ANY
more than chloroform, but might only
place men hors de combat for time
whereas, submarine boat, approach
ing under cover of darkness, might send
& thousand men to watery grave"

THE Chicago Record says that the
Canadian government viii open the
Soulanges canal in August and by its
operation the cost of transporting
wheat via the lakes and Erie canal will
be reduced one-half. 1t is generally
accepted by shippers that Liverpool
makes the price of cash wheat, and that
every cent saved on the cost of deliver
ing it at Liverpool means that much
more to be paid to the owner of the
wheat at the time it is sold and shipped.
New York viii probably lose much of
its enormous export shipping business,
which amounts to somewhere near Is,
600, 900 bushels of grain annually.

THE outlook for famine in Russia
was never more terrible than it is to-

who are on the verge of death.

Is common thing for woman to take

passing Andy Dahls saloon in South
Main street. they went around to
SIDE entrance to rear room and were
quietly enjoying aglass of beer when
the two officers walked in and arrested
them. The girls were known to be
eminently respectable, yet it became
necessary for their friends to send for
Alderman Knowlton to secure their re-
lease and prevent them from being
dragged into police court.
Alderman knowlton was highly in
d1gnant and expressed himself very
fofcibly on this subject.
These same policemen said he
will walk through the bad lands
and see fallen women standing
ing, yet never think of arresting
them, but let a couple of decent girls
go into a wine room of saloon In a
quiet part Of town with no thought of
doing anything wrong, and they must
be arrested. 1t looks nightly to me as
though there was a graft somewhere"
Mayor Harrington assured Alderman
Knowlton this matter should be in
quired into and at once issued instruc-
tons to Chief Mulholland to investi-
gate it. Mr.. Knowlton, when seen after
the conference, said he should probably
take no steps in the matter of Chief
Mulholland's suspension of Officers
Shea and Harrington, as he had been
informed by the mayor that a citizen
had decided to prefer charges against
Officer Shea, which would be filed in
few days, and the matter of Officer
Harrington's offense was minor one.
The ball has been set rolling, however,
and it is not improba BILE that before it
stops general roundup will be made.
as a great many instances are known
in which officers have been derelict in
their duties or have exceeded their au-
thority.
The suspension of officers Shea and
Harrington expired last evening and
thew returned to work.

A GENERAL STIRRING UP.
Thorough Investigation of Police
Affairs Expected.
AN ABUSE OF AUTHORITY
Alderman Knowlton Has an Interview
With the Mayor Which May Lead
to a Roundup = Charges
Have Been Filed.

1t is possible general stirring up
of the police force may result from an
interview had between Alderman
Knowlton of the Eighth ward and May
or Harrington yesterday afternoon. For
some time it has been notorious that
certain policemen have been soldering
on duty, and it has been more than
limited that some few have been guilty
of far more serious offenses. When
Chief Mulholland recently suspended
officers Shea and Harrington without
reference to the police committee,
Knowlton felt he had exceeded his
powers. as, if the men were guilty it
was the province of the police COM
mittee to deal with them, and when,
in the lower part of town that savored
considerably of an outrage, Alderman
Knowlton concluded it was time to have
an investigation of the goings on in
the department.
Alderman Knowlton, accordingly,
called on Mayor Harrington yesterday
to have talk with him on the subject
of the police department. He lodged
an emphatic protest against Chief Null
holland usurping the powers of the po-
lice committee and brought up other
matters in connection with the force
that had come to his attention. With
reference to the chiefs suspension of
Officers Shea and Harrington, Alder
man Knowlton held that the chief had
no right to make such suspension; that
If officer Shea had been caught asleep
in a hack while supposedly on duty.
and if Officer Harrington had been off
his beat, as appears were the facts or
they would not have submitted to be-
ing suspended, then it was the clear
duty of the chief to suspend. them.
pending the filing of charges before the
police committee, and if, at their hear
ing, they should be found guilty, then
they should be discharged from the
force, as in the case of officer Oster-
man, year ago.
Mayor Harrington supported the po-
sition of Chief Mulholland and in re-
plying to Alderman Knowlton, said he
believed the action of the chief had
been productive of good resultss bet
er, in fact, than bringing the matter
before the committee, which would
doubtless exonerate the officers, as has
always been done, except in Osterman' s
case. Mayor Harrington felt he had
much the better of the argument in the
matter of precedents, which Alderman
Knowlton was forced to admit, still,
he said, he thought that if charges were
filed and proven the council would
vote to dismiss the ones found guilty
of violating the rules of the depart
ment. sac 44a Wa ,
