His Power Limited.

The governors suggestion was an eye
opener TO the committee. In a limited
number of cities in which the police
boards are appointed by him he can en-
force the law, but in this city. Evans
vile, Fort Wayne, Terre Haute and
others operating under special charters
he has no power to remove from office
In such cases, however, when the gamb-
ling laws and saloon laws are not en-
forced the crusaders viii proceed against
the executive authorities by impeach-
ment
The law is so plain and the method
50 simple that those who consulted the
governor wonder why such a proceeding
was never suggested before. Any citi-
zen can make the complaint, and the
court is compelled to act upon It. II
applies to any officer in town, city, OF
county, and is a s.eapon that the leagues
will be quick to use. In a city like this
for instance, 1t may be leveled at the
police superintendent or at the mayor
or at the board of public safety. And
if failure 10 enforce the laws or any law
is proved, the court has no option. II
must remove the offending official.
In the meantime the hands of the eX-
element of the State. while he IS max
ing the fight against the lawless- Minis
ters are approving his course by gen
erous resolutions at their meetings. The
Good Citizens League has commended
him through Its officers. The Woman:
Christian Temperance Union IS for hin

organizations whose efforts are being
directed toward the enforcement OF law
Other executives contented themselve.
with saying that the people Of par
ticular city could have whatever
kind Of government they wanted. the
idea being that II they wanted the laws
enforced they would be enforced. Gov.
ernor Hanly goes further. He declares
that no people OF a city have right K
say that law placed upon the statute
book shall not apply to them. He argue:
that IL community may say this. theI
an individual may say II. and in the enc
no law would be enforced

Local Bar Interested.

Lawyers in Washington are taking a
deep professional interest in the Holmes
case They say that provided the facts
alleged in the report of the Secret
Service agents can be established sew
eral actions are possible. Holmes might
be indicted for violation of some phase
Of the broad Federal conspiracy statute.
the possibility of which is hinted at by
District Attorney Beach.
The alteration of Field Agent Whites
report by Holmes, if proved would
make the basis for prosecution for
forgery, some lawyers declare 1t con-
st1tuted an alteration of a written in
strunent. 10 the prejudice of the riphts
or other persons, and this, the lawyers
say, no matter what the character of
the instrument. is forgery
Another suggestion is that Holmes
may De tried for receiving bribes. His
pcceptance or rno1ey from New York
brokers was plainly a consideration for
violating his official tenure.
The Beach Statement.
District Attorney Beach's statement Is
as follows:
''On Friday last report of an inves-
tigation conducted for the past month
by the Secret Service division was laid
before me by the Secretary of AgricuI-
fure. with the request that he be speed
1ly advised whether one Holmes. some
time acting statistician of the depart
ment. was. on the facts stated In the
report, individually liable to criminal
prosecution. On the afternoon Of the
same day l advised the Secretary that
on the case as presented to me no such
proceeding would lie
AS to the manner in which the in
vesti2ation was conducted or on the
broader question of a possible criminal
conspiracy. / was not consulted and any
suggestion from me in the iuncture as TO
either subject would have been an i'm
proper intrusion upon the administrative
province Of the Secretary.
Drawing the Line
''It Is the duty OF the district attor-
ney. on complaint regularly lodged. or
without complaint. when the facts with
in his own knowledge fairly warrant
such course, to present to the grand
Jury alleged violations Of law, but II 4;
equally his duty to avoid the slightest
eneroachment on questions of mere ad-
ministtation in an executive department
"A possibility that the action Of the
Secretary may be misunderstood or that
the connection OF my office with the
subject may not be clearly defined is the
warrant for this statement

showing that number of others were
mixed up in the same work Holmes was
doing.
Ore man read in some paper that
Holmes was the only one who would
be dismissed ard he was so astounded
that this should be the result of the
investigation that he sent me word. anu
I called upon him. Ee talked TO me for
three hours, and it was continuous
revelation OF official croolledness."

Intimations of rather definite sort
were made by Secretary Cheatham in
an interview with Secretary Wilson

said Cheatham, that there is man

nation of a woman; yoe: have been told
all the facts and you are familiar with
the facts from personal Investigation.

know they are not fit for the position =
Secretary Wilson told Mr.. Cheatnarl
that mis- decision 10 the cotton leak
matter would stand as announced in
the official report, bur that he was al
ways ready TO investigate any charges
made by him. MIR. Cheatham left the
Secrt ttarYs presence and packed his
valise for Atlanta. and 1t Is expected he
will come pack prepared TO present new
charges.

This has been the record since the

Governor Was Preparing.
While law abiding citizens looked upon
the open defiance of the law at the
racetrach near this city as q civic dis
grace. they are now convinced that it
was the best thing that could have hap
pened to the State because OF the sug-
gestions that came out OF it.
When the citizens committee called
upon the governor to devise means for
ridding the race track of bookmakers
they found him already engrossed with

committee that the solution of the PROB

to impeach Sheriff Sourier for failure to

He onsred to lend the committee all
moral aid and to share whatever ex-

that conference inlpea chment proceed
tngs were decided upon. The mere an
nouncment that this course would be
pursued sent the sheriff and his depu-
ties 10 the racetrack- The races were
abandoned.

GEN. BRUGERE
OlSGRACED

PARIS, November II. - The Coun
Gil of Ministers, at meeting today,
decided to inf1ict a fifteen days arrest
on General Brugere, commander of the
army, for making public details of a
conference which he had with the Min
ister of War relative to the controversy
between General Brugere and General
Percin, who was chief of staff under
General Andre, the former Minister of
War.
The Generals recently met in the
Bots de Boulogne on horseback and
General Brugere refused to acknowl-
edge the salute of General Percin,
which it was said at the time would
lead to a duel. Explanations before the
War Minister led to an adjustment of
the incident.
General Brugere gave out a state
ment, saying that he had refused the
War Minister'S request to shake hands
with General Percin. The decision of
the Council of Ministers to cause Gen.
Brugere's arrest followed. The meas
ure is one of extraordinary severity
against the head of the army.
