GOVERNOR DOUGLAS IS
URGED TO WAKE UP
Judge Smith In Doubt as to Validity
Of Signature on the
Reouisition

All attempts to save Peter Ohanian
who is wanted by the Massachusetts
authorities on the charge of arson.
were frustrated yesterday in the supe-
rior court, when Judge Smith denied
the writ of habeas corpus instituted by
the Armenian's attorneys and turned
him over to the Massachusetts officers,
who were waiting for their man in the
court room.
Ohanian. with two other Armenians,
is wanted at Foxboro, Mass, on the
charge of arson. having, It is alleged,
conspired to defraud an insurance
company by setting fire to large
stock of goods.
The men were indicted by the Nor
folk county grand jury last April and
since that time they have been fugi-
tives from justice
One of Ohanian's accomplices in the
conspiracy is now serving sentence
of seven years in the Massachusetts
state penitentiary at Charlestown, and
a diligent search is being made for the
others implicated in the crime.
John II. Scott of the district state
police of Massachusetts and Deputy
Sheriff Oscar d. Capen of Norfolk
county. Massachusetts, arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday for their man.
The attorneys raised dispute in
court yesterday over the validity of
the requisition papers signed by Gov
ernor William l.. Douglas of Massa-
chusetts. 1t appears that the sigma
ture of Governor Douglas was in a
questionable position on the writ.
THAT governor wants to wake up
and put his name in the right place."
finally remarked Judge Smith, but it
is not within my province to pass upon
the validity of this paper. Governor
Pardee has seen fit to approve the
of the writ of extradition, and
the prisoner is therefore remanded."

SWEEPING CHANGE
IN POLICE FORCE
CHIEF AND COMMISSION TO BE
GIVEN MORE POWER
More Direct Control Of Appointment
of Confidential Officers Is De-
sired by 5oard-opinion by
City Attorney

The civil service commission has
secured an opinion from the city attor.
ney to the effect that the board has
power to hold a single examination FOR
patrolmen and detectives in the police
department, the police commission af-
terward detailing such officers as it
sees fit for detective work.
This is the opinion given by City
Attorney Matthews in response to the
request of the commission.
"As to the power of the commission
TO reclassify the police department by
including detectives and patrolmen in
the same 1ass, / am of the opinion
that the power of the commission to
classify all the offices and places of
employment mentioned in section 239 of
the charter necessarily involves the
power of reclassfyng such offices and
places, and that all places for which
substantially the same tests of physi-
cal qualifications. health, skill and ca
pacity would be prescribed, may be in
cluded in one class. So that if the
same tests are applied to patrolmen and
detectives they may be included in
one class, although retaining the des-
ignations given in the ordinance pro-
viding for their appointment"
Gives Chief More Power
Freely interpreted the opinion of the
city attorney means that the civil SER
vice commission can hold examinations
for patrolmen and detectives as one
class, the detectives afterward being
assigned by the chief and the police
commission.
Ever since the new administration
took charge it has been understood
that the mayor and the commission
contemplated some changes in the po-
lice department. One of these is under
stood to be that affecting the standing
of the detectives.
The mayor is known to hold the opin
ion that the city is spending money un-
necessarily in the employment of office
men who are rated as detectives. A
detective receives $125 a month. The
mayor believes that men who are paid
that much ought to do something more
important than answer telephone calls
and perform similar routine duties.
A prominent attorney said yesterday
that he did not believe the administra-
tion could disturb the detectives now
employed unless the ordinance provid-
ing the number and classification of
the employees of the police department
were first changed.
Such a change would necessarily in
volve action by the council. Members
of that body who were questioned upon
the subject yesterday said they had
not been asked to make any change
in the ordinance.
The principal advantage claimed for
the new arrangement is that it will
give the chief of police and the COM
mission the power to appoint men of
undoubted loyalty to positions where
mutual confidence is essential to sue
cessful administration.
