Politics Should Be Eliminated.

The police institution should be free from
political influences. 1t is the one on which
all other municipal establishments must
depend but it becomes dangerous as po-
litical engine, and its effectiveness is seri-
ously impaired. It is the absence of this
feature which materially adds to the sue
cess of the foreign work in the prevention
and detection of crime. although London
and Paris are not without violations and
many unsolved mysteries.
The elevation of the police officer In the
esteem Of the public. by studying, promul-
eating and intoxicating every means which
might tend to that end prompted the for
nation of the Association of Chiefs ten
years ago. That the smaller community
with less adequate and perfect police sup
port might profit by learning the organic
fr.gs and experiences Of the larger, pos
sessing better facilities; that methods for
systematic cooperation for the benefit of
society generally might be adopted; that
new plans and devices might be establish
ed for protecting persons and property in
all communities; that a proper treatment
for weak humanity might be determined
upon, and that personal as well as Off
cial acquaintance and communication
might prevail among the members have
been some Of the features involved, which

municipalities interested than is evidently

The Prevention Of Crime.

There Is no doubt the child which dis
closes evil traits. viciousness and destruc-
tiveness. If allowed to continue along such
paths without encouragement and educa-
ton to the contrary. will develop the same
qualities in a more emphatic and disastrous
form as 1t grows older. and 1t Is just as
true that criminals are created through he
glect and by improper surroundings and
but in the work the police must perform
in these strenuous times they find sparse
intervals to theorize. and must devote their
hours almost unbroken. to prevention and
detection in dealing with individual cases
as they are presented rather than to deal
ing with society as a whole. Experience
should enable them. however, to enlighten
the factors more directly engaged in learn
ing causes generally and remedies to be
applied in the prevention Of crime and the
police should be prepared to present to the
courts the defects in the composition of
the criminal as he is offered for trial. In
short. there should be a closer cooperation
between those agencies engaged in studying
the offspring of evil persons, the surround
fngs of the lower classes and dependents,
and the classification Of prisoners and the
police organizations.
1t was the increase Of crime in earlier
periods which prompted active legislation
or proclamations among the leading coun-
tries of the world in looking to the i'm
provement Of the preventive organizations
More men and means tended to check crime
through closer surveillance and increased

The Case Of London.


In London crime reached a maximum in
crease about the year 1923. There was
wealthy and enormous population to be
protected. In the seven preceding years
oommittals had multiplied Al per cent, and
the population over 10 per cent. 1t was
this that prompted Sir Robert Peel to in
improved police force, the proposition being
championed by the Duke Of Wellington. The
advocates of the motion for reform were
accused of endeavoring to usurp the throne;
wide antagoniSm to the reforms proposed
prevailed. The effort succeeded, however
but for time the drilled and uniformed

'tyrants," Holsters 'bobbies," and cop

Richard Mayne. a gentleman whose stand

doubling classes. These officials gave ex-
preston to favorable regulations, declar-
ing the purpose of the organization to be
the prevention of crime. the protection Of
person and property, the preservation Of
peace and good order. the character OF
punishment for offenders being a secondary
consideration. 1t was Mayne who laid
down the principle that perfect command
of temper was Indispensable to the model
police officer: that such an officer should
do his duty in "a quiet and determined
manner. never to suffer himself to be moved
by language or threats" The establish

of the public. and today over six millions

CITY TO ENGAGE AN EXPERT
TO EXAMINE SEWER WORK
After a Prolonged Special Session Last Night
of the City Council This Was
Deemed Advisable

An interesting point is at issue in
this matter which involves the ques-
tion as to whether pipe that shall be
set in tight manner" means in sewer
parlance, water tight. The specifica-
tions state that the pipe should be laid
tight together, but does not say any
thing in reference to it's being water
tight.
The matter was discussed at length
and Scully was of the mind that the
opinion of an expert should be pro-
cured. Colby was of the same mind
and stated that all the information re-
garding constructing of sewers should
be obtaiped now.
Councilman LeQuime counselled that
a short delay should be used before
arranging for an expert opinion. He
believed that the opinions of an expert,
if engaged by the city, would be final,
and if he found against the city 1t
would be disastrous.
The resolution was finally adopted
and Mayor Kress was authorized to
employ an expert to come here and ex-
anime the manner in which the sewer
work is being done and to make reports
with suggestions.

The news spread, and set the neigh

lanterns for their guide. Most of the

loitered and resulted in forty arrests.
The guard over Neidermeyer this
morning informed the chief that Neid-
ermeyer had offered him $4,000 cash
for his liberation. He did not say
where he would get money, but assured
the guard it would be handed him in
cash the minute he stood outside the

On hearing this and discovering the
dynamite the officers have arrived at
the firm conclusion that the prisoners
are merely a part of a big organized

and outside the prison where criminals
are confined. They are now kept sep
