Police Shake-up Threatened
Because of this series of indiscre
tions on the part of police employees a
| general shakeup and rearrangement of
desk men with special instructions will
| be ordered by the board. 1t is also
| likely that Chief Kern, Capt. Flammer,
Capt. Auble and others will be obliged
| to rearrange their hours SO that one
or the other is on duty or near at hand
| till midnight every night.
Considerable stress has been laid on
| the fact that Schenck took two young
men into the Jail and that they jeered
at Maj Lee and Preuss. This has
since been explained by the statement
! that the two were brothers of Police
| Commissioner Woodill, one of them
being a stranger in the city. He was
taken to the Jail to get glimpse of
| police life, the lights were turned on
few minutes and the men peered into
| the cells. 1t is denied that the two
distinguished occupants of the tanks"
were intentionally exposed to added in
suit in this respect.
| Harper Non-CommittaI
Mayor Harper last night discussed
the case guardedly, saying:
| II am sick with worry over Chis mis-
cradle affair. 1t is unfortunate all
around Sam made a blunder. No
one knows 1t better than he. He
| lapsed from his resolution not to take
any wine and this is the consequence.
| "Such an occurrence cannot and will
not happen again.
| 1T do not believe that Sam delib-
erately insulted or meant to insult any

| whom he was chatting.
Some one at police headquarters
erred seriously and 1 have ordered full
reports on all features of the case.
81 shall see Maj. Lee Monday, if
possible, when l hope to make a full
statement"
| Disgrace to Administration
"Sam Schenck is a disgrace to the
I administration, and if he refuses to re-
sign, should be fred without delay by
Mayor Harper" said Capt. George M
Cake, chairman of the Democratic
central committee, vice president of the
Democratic club and one of the or
ganizers of that body, when seen last
night.
ITO allow schenck to remain longer
| in the office he now holds would prove
the severest blow to the political as
pirations of the mayor they could pos
| sibly receive. 1t Is true that certain
few of those in the city who have deals
they wish to shove through the police
| commission will back him, but it will
be in but a half-hearted way. and
every clean-m minded Democrat in Los
Angeles demands that he give up the
| office he holds at once
"Schencks actions Friday night place
|! xtritb 10 rowdV q To
think of a police commissioner stand
ing on a corner and making vulgar re-
marks about women when they are
passing, and then ordering her escorts
! thrown into jail for standing up in her
defense. What control can the police
department exercise over the young
men of the city when police commits
sioner will so far-forget himself as TO
do a thing of that nature?
No Respect for schenck
81 have no respect for Sam Schenck
after his actions of Friday night, and
had 1 Leen In the place of the Two
men who were arrested and Schenck
or any other man had called any
woman : was with fine bird, l would
have knocked him down, and would
honor any other man for doing so.
"The Democrats of Los Angeles are
that he be put out of office. There are
plenty of loyal men in Los Angeles who
could be put in his place, and who
would not disgrace themselves, their
position and the city by making in
sulting remarks to women. L nave
talked with a number of prominent
business men and politicians in regard
to this affair and all agree with me
that Schenclz has proved himself a dis
grace to the administration ana should
be put out of Office"
"If the facts as have been told them
are correct, and ! see no reason to
doubt them Schenck has proved him
self a disgrace and should be at once
removed from the police commission by
the mayor" said Eugene German,
president of the Democratic club yes
terday.
Democrats Demand Resignation
AT am surprised that any one who
calls himself a man should stand up
for any person connected with so dis
graceful an affair. 1t seems Impossible
that a man filling the position Schenck
does could stand on corner and in
suit women and then order their es-
corts arrested for defending them, ana
can see no excuse for his actions
'This much is certain. the Democrats
of Los Angeles will not stand for
Schenck being allowed to longer re-
main on the commission"
s'The Democrats of Los Angeles are
unanimous in their demand that
Schenck be forced to resign if he does
not do so of his own free will,' said a
prominent city official last night. If
he refuses to resign when requested too,
he should be displaced from the board
by the mayor and a man who would
not be guilty of the things Schenck
has done be appointed in his place.
Every person l have spoken to, and
they are not a few. have expressed
themselves along the same lines, many
recommending that he should be dis
placed without even giving him a
chance to resign"
