FURTHER POLICE
CHANGES
Continued from Page one)

previous administrators estimates
for January. This meant that 1 had
to let out numerous men, I was not
going to discharge men I had already
appointed, new men. so 1 let out those
of the old men who could best be spar
ed. There We're several, for example,
who were i'm the habit of asking for
leaves Of absence, to do business else
where and We're getting off all the
time. Those who took less interest i'm
their duties than others were the first
to be let out.
at was not my fault that more men
had to go than I originally intended
should go, it is the fault of the Super
visors or the shortage of money.
Il had ordered uniforms for the men
I appointed when notice of the cut in
the appropriation came so unexpected
".
q take it that I may appoint whom
I wish. l have that right by law and
will exercise it, and I intend to have
round me, as I have said on previous
occasions, men who will be loyal to
me. I cannot properly discharge my
duties as sheriff if l employ men who
will do everything in their power to
antagonize my administration"
To conform with the February re-
duced appropriation, Sheriff Iaukea
has drawn up an estimate for the Fe-
bruary payroll that brings the total
$40 short of what the department will
be allowed. He will probably use this
$40 for the services of a special Of
ficer.
In addition to changes previously re-
ported. Waterfront Police Officers
Larsen and Mulleitner will go out on
the first of the month and where there
were two officers on the waterfront
there will be but one, A. L. Reeves,
newly appointed. Reeves has been
working on the Rapid Transit cars.
Three court officers are to be drop
ped. They are George X. Hubbell,
Carl F. Rose and Eli Crawford Hub
bell has been drawing pay as a patrol
man but has been doing warrant work
Rose is practically working for the Of
flee of the Attorney General and if he
is to be retained, says Iaukea, he can
be paid out of some appropriation 9TH
er than that for the police department.
The Supervisors can provide for him,
says the sheriff. Crawford has been
engaged in district court work.
In the district of Eva the police
force on February 1 will be reduced
from to officers and their salaries
will be cut from $50 to $50 per month.
There will, at least for the present, be
no other changes in the county police.
According to the new system as es-
tablished by Iaukea, Captain Parker,
formerly senior captain, is now the
only captain and is titled Captain Of
Police, having charge of all watches
of foot as well as mounted police. The
old system was cumbersome in the
opinion of the new sheriff and many
others.
Chief of Detectives A. P. Taylor who
takes the place of former Assistant
Sheriff Henry c. Vida, has the import
ance of the position of chief of detec-
tives recognized by $25 per month more
than was received by Vida. Taylor
gets $3.50. Vida got SIPS. This diff
ference is made up by the present clerk
to the sheriff Charles Rose, receiving
$l25 where his predecessor, Harry Muir
ray received $3.50 per month.
Humane Officer Rose Dawson comes
under the head Of specials and receives
$15 per month.
Sheriff Iaukea has not submitted his
appointments to the Supervisors for
approval, as may have been inferred
from previous interview, that which
he has submitted to the police COM
mittee of the Board of Supervisors is
merely the estimate of expenses for
February, detailing the number of Of
ficers and the salaries attached, the
total Of which salaries is just $40 short
of what the department is allowed for
February.
