MAYOR AND POLICE
DISCUSS big WEEK

Mayor David P. Jones and the police
evening for a general discussion, OF
matters connected with the good OF the
force. There were present Superln-
tendent James G. Doyle, Assistant Su-
perintendent Michael Mealey, Captains
Henry L. Getchell, George Sinclair, Pat
rick J. Qealy, Mic Smith and George
Riivere. ~
The principal subject discussed was
the policing Of the city during the G.
A. R. encampment It was decided that
every member of the force will be in
-dress-parade uniform during the entire
week. A special mounted squad will
be held in readiness for escort duty
and such other service as they may be
assigned. Moreover, a reserve squad
will be kept at the central station night
and day for emergency calls. Other
minor details were decided upon, and
all will be embodied in an order which
Superintendent Doyle will soon issue.
Mayor Jones Informed the captains
that they must impress on the men
that they must keep strictly aloof from
politics aside from exercising the cleo
toral franchise. There might be tempta-
tions to take a hand in the political
game, but the officers must understand
that they have specific duty to per-
form to the public and this must be
performed to the exclusion Of all out
side matters. Mr.. Jones announced
that he would promptly discipline the
first officer who neglected his duty in
any way to take a hand in politics.

PARK BOARD BARS
AUTO HORN APPLAUSE

The board Of park commissioners. act
ing upon a motion made by G. NJ. Tor
ing, father Of the Minneapolis park
system, and seconded by E. J. PHELPS.
one Of the most prominent local auto.
lists, has formally moved against the
auto foot at band concerts in parks. ~
AT the regular meeting Of the board
Monday, Mr.. Loring called attention
to the fact that at the Parade con.
cert Saturday afternoon the wave Of
enthusiasm sweeping over the autoists
there assembled, after each selection
sounded like a boiler factory IN dis
tress. He also suggested that there
was too much anti-climax about cho-
rus Of auto horns on an ensemble foot
The custom Of voicing their approval
in unharmonious toots was much in
vogue among the hundreds Of autoists
in the audiences at Lake Harriet last
season, and Mr.. Loring thought the
practice should be discouraged. He
therefore moved that cit is the sense
Of the board that the practice Of foot.
ing automobile. horns by way Of al.
splause should be discontinued In tie
public parks. - Mr.. Phelps, who is an
ardent autoist, agreed with Mr.. Loring
The motion prevailed.

PUBLIC PAYS COST
j, OF MEAT SCANDALS

Minneapolis, tho it may not be gen
orally known, is paying it's share of the
expense of the present meat and pack
ing agitation for the great packing
companies. It is done Indirectly, but
is nevertheless coming from every per-
son who does not stick to a strict vege-
table diet.
Meat prices are rising, slowly but
surely, and it is said that there may be
still other advances. The packers do
not care to stand the expense them
selves, and they aim to kill two birds
with one stone by increasing the cost Of
meats to the retailers and the public,
thereby making the public pay the bills
and making the meat agitation unpopu-
lar.
The boost has been gradual, but has
been on since the agitation started.
At first advances Of a fraction of a
cent a pound were made to the retail
ers, then more, until they were forced
to drive up prices from l to 3 cents a
pound on staple grades to the consumer.
On some Of the fancy grades Of meats
the advance to both the retailers and
the public has been still more. The
advances will cover the cost Of the
trouble to the. packers, and il they
make the agitation unpopular will serve
| a double duty. G"
