NO ONE WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE ORDER

Because Of his stand on the ques-
ton of modifying the order driving
the crippled and invalid popcorn men
from the streets, Police Commission
er L. B. Handley has been threatened
with death, according to his state
ment. The threats of death were
made to the commissioner over the
telephone Thursday evening.
TT is great injustice to me-" said
Commissioner Handley this morning,
'to pick me out as an individual and
lay all the blame for that order on
me. 1t has resulted in my life being
threatened
Il do not know how to account for
to be a foreigner who was talking
over the telephone. The two for
eigners I at first suspected are Assy-
rians who left town that night.
Someone called me up at my house
Thursday evening after o'clock and
Whoever 1t was swore and said:
you - I'll shoot the - top
of your head off If you don't let those
old soldiers go to work and make a
living"
Il want to say now" said the COM
missioner, that am not alone re-
sponsible for that order. have a
big heart in me and I feel for those
old soldiers just as much as anybody.
But that order was issued by the
board and I must carry out the or
ders of the board.
Il didn't want to take up the mat
ter anyway, but it was Chief of Po-
lice Waller who insisted upon it. He
told me he couldn't handle those fell
lows any more and wanted them all
driven off the streets. Since the board
took the action I can't rescind 1t
alone. asked Weymouth If he would
call a meeting and he said he
wouldn't. If the other members of
the board will vote to allow them
back 1 will vote that way, too"
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-12-19

Commissioner ONO said this morn
ing he did not think there would be
immediate action taken.
sHandley is feeling pretty sore
over the row that has been kicked up.
l told him yesterday that 1t had been
the agreement that as soon as the
dagoes were driven away the old SOL
diers and cripples would be handled
by giving them special permits. This
was the understanding before the
board made the order. I asked Hand
ley about this agreement yesterday,
but he wouldn't say anything at this
time ...
AS the matter now stands each
commissioner Of the board lays the
blame of the order which is driving
the old soldiers to starvation upon
the other two members of the board.
Commissioner Handley declares the
order can be first placed at the door
Of Chief of Police Waller. The COM
missioner also declares the other
for the refusal to reconsider or modi-
fly the starvation order.
Representatives of the Italians of
the city called at the office Of The
Press today to contradict the state
ment that Italians have been ex-
changing licenses as reported by
Chief of Police Waller.
They are not Italians" said one
Of the representatives Of that race.
There are no Italians who have sold
popcorn. candy or peanuts on the
streets or run pushcarts. Those men
who did that are Greeks and Assyri-
ans. They have nothing to do with
the Italians.
''In this city the Italians are law
abiding and when in business are
either running fruit stores, saloons
or a like business. They do not
peddle on the streets. We want the
public to understand the difference
between our Italians, who are in bus
mess. and those Greeks and Assyri-
ans"
