LEHNHAUSEN CASE
UNDER AMUSEMENT
Former Acting Sergeant DIsagrees
with Superior and Internal Dissen-
sion in Department creeps
out at Trial

The much heralded charges Of insubor-
dination against Police Lieutenant G. @.
Lehnhausen now rest with the police COM
mission, which has taken them under adj
visement.
Confidence between Lehnhausen and
Acting Sergeant Frank Hartmeyer forms
the basis OF the action.
Hartmeyer wasrecently before the board
in connection with charges made by At
torney Danforth, who has since sued
Hartmeyer for Ms actions. Lehnhausen
reported, at that time, that Hartmeyer's
only fault was that he did not arrest Dan
forth.
The gist of the departments case rests
on statements which Hartmeyer accuses
Lehnhausen Of making and which were
read by Capt Bradish to Hartmeyer at
Tuesday nights trial.
The questions put to Hartmeyer were as
follows:
hell with the chief; you can get no salts
faction there when you told him you
ought to go to the chief instead of DR..
Haynes?
ibid he say to you that Capt Bradish
was incompetent and entirely unfit to be
in command of any station or any body Of
men, as he was childish and allowed Act
ing Sergeant Wood to run things?
did he say he would put Acting Ser
geants Wood and Loomis out on beats as
soon as Capt. Bradish went away on his
vacation, and that he would have no
cripples around his office, referring to
Desk Sergeants Butler and Carpenter?
That he was going to take the bull by the
horns; that he had been fighting the de-
partment for the last ten years and could
fight 1t ten years more, and II they
thought he had no drag he would show
them?
BIames the Lieutenant
Hartmeyer said he called on Dr.
Haynes, chairman of the civil service
commission, to learn why patrolmen were
acting as sergeants while he, after serv-
ing as sergeant six months, had to put
on patrolman's uniform again. Soon
in Boyle Heights. He attributed this
largely to the fact that Lehnhausen did
not work in his behalf as he had hoped
he would.
If Lehnhausen impressed them as hav-
ing "sweled head and they said he
had since his promotion.
Mrs. Hartmeyer. who lives at 1862 West
Thirtieth street, said LehnhauSen had

quarters, spotting others officers?" asked
Attorney Pull Schenck for the defense:

years." was the answer. II think he did
special work for the Pennsylvania rail-
road"
"onIy Masons Promoted"
DR.. Haynes said both men intimated
the department that only Masons were
promoted to be sergeant.
The defendant Lehnhausen denied that
he had ever disparaged his superiors,
and Chief Kern as brothers. He said that
he had been energetic and active and
doubtless had incurred some i'll will. for
that reason from men under him.

UNCLE SAM WOULD
LIMIT ARMAMENTs
PORTER SPRINGS SURPRISE AT
PEACE CONCLAVE
Delegate from United States Reserves
the Right to Bring Up Question
Later if 1t Goes by
Default
Associated Press.

THE HAGUE, June 19.-The surprise
of the second session of the peace con-
ference this afternoon was the formal
reservation by Gen. Horace Porter on
behalf of the United States of the
right to present the question of limita-
tion of arms. Together with this, he
also reserved the right to introduce the
subject of the collection of contractual
debts by force. While this reservation
was made, quite naturally, in accord
ance with a notice served on Russia
during the preliminary negotiations last
spring, and In order that silence now
might not be construed as acquiescence
in the restriction of the work of the
conference to the limits of the Russian
program, it is believed to indicate a
firm resolve on the part of the Wash
ington government, after seeing the
trend of the situation here, to raise
the question later if it becomes APP
parent that the subject is going by
default.
1t can be stated positively that no
proposition has yet been formulated by
the American delegates, but this action
has renewed the hope that the United
States would bring up the question Of
limitation and has given great salts
faction to the pacificists.
Sir Edward Fry also served notice
that Great Britain reserved the rights
to introduce subjects outside the pro-
gram, but less significance is attached
to his action.
Another interesting feature Of the
session was Baron Bieberstein's noti-
fication that Germany intended to Of

prize court to which appeals could
be made at the time of maritime

proposition on behalf of the United
States and Sir Edward Fry declared
that Great Britain purposed to adj
vance a project on similar lines.

LONG BEACH, June 19.-The fate of
young Donald Sprinkle, the bridegroom of

thing with the case, and the young man

made several efforts today to have the
case quashed and to secure the release of

Young Sprinkle and Miss Ruth Tucker

THE PRESIDENT s.ExPLAINs.' .

There is a deep suspicion abroad
that President Roosevelt's letter in
which he explains" what he meant
| by a former reference to Meyer, Hay
wood. ct al, will not meet with appro-
baton in certain quarters. Very
likely the Appeal to Reason Will not
be able to find anything in it to COM
mend. And the Hearst papers may be
expected to strongly dtsapprove its
sentiments.
But 1t will appeal strongly to the
sober-mipded citizen of common sense
all over this republic of ours-the
citizen who has the good OF the whole
people at heart. AS the president
points out, the outcome of the Meyer
Haywood trial in Idaho should rest on
their guilt or innocence of the par
ticuIar charge for whicn they have
been indicted. There is no doubt that
a strong sentiment In favor of the ac-
cused men prevails among the MEM
bers Of labor unions because of the
belief that has been spread that an
effort has been made by their capt.
talist enemies to trump up charges
against them. If this belief is founded
in fact, the severest condemnation is
due their enemies. and no man would
be quicker to condemn them than
Theodore Roosevelt. On the other
hand, If Meyer and Haywood are
guilty of melting the dastardly muir
der of Governor Stuenenberg they
should not be allowed to escape pun
ishment because of any false senti-
ment in their favor.
But aside from this Idaho charge
against them, it was long ago evident
that Meyers Haywood and others like
hsm are not the real friends of labor.
They belong in the same class as Sam
Parks and others who have used the
power given them by their fellows to
debase and injure labor instead of to
elevate it.
President Roosevelt makes it clear
that he is just as much opposed to
the labor CRATER and the labor leader
who uses his power for hold-up pur-
poses and oppression, as he is to the
capitalist who does the same thing.
And this sentiment is entitled to the
support of every honorable labor
union as well as every just and honest
enI lover 4

THE BURNING QUESTION.

You say the world has many Ill
That we must do our best to cure:
You say the poor bear many wrongs
That they no longer should endure:
You tell US there is work to do
That honest men may not ignore;
Ills true, alas! / know tbs true
But what's the score?
hear you say that graft and greed
Like Shiny Serpents darkly crawl
Whenever unmatched crevasses
May be within the civic wall.
hear you say that we must rise
As good as st. Patrick did of yore
To drive the serpents in the sea-
But what's the score?
You say the birds are on the wing.
That sprouts are pushing through tne
mold:
You tell me that in country lanes
The story which is never old
Is being bravely, gladly told
With sweet embellishment once more:
I know, I know it's as you say
But what's the score?

1t is not impossible that at no distant
| day the weather bureau will forecast
the weather a whole week in advance
Forecasts for seven days ahead are
even now being placed each day upoI
the desk of Willis L. Moore, chief OF
the bureau. AS yet these forecasts are
regarded largely as studies, made fol
practice i'll ha ldling important new
data which have recently come into the
| governments possession. 1t may be
some time before the seven-day fore
casts are given to the public for gen.
eral use, and they may never supplan'
the two-day forecasts now in vogue
But the government experts are fast
reaching the point where they expect
to make use of the long range prophe-
cies in emergencies.
OF course, these seven-day forecasts
may not be precisely accurate for a
whole week, and they will be subject
to some changes from day to day, but
they will be in the main correct. For
instance, on Monday rain may be
forecasted for Saturday, and the rain
may get ahead of it's schedule and
coma on Friday, but this v i'll be appar-
ent in time to be forecasted earlier in
the week.
What q blessing this will be! The
farmer can plan his farm work a week
ahead. No more will he be caught with
his alfalfa down and rainy spell comes
on. No mere will Sunday school pic
MICS and Nashdays collide with drizzly
days.
This possibility in weather making"
is due entirely to the new system of
international reports which have been
received by the government for the
past six months. These reports give
the results of observations taken at
widely separated points in the north
ern hemisphere, and are transmitted
by wire to the weather bureau at
Washingt IN. These observations more
than treble the territory which the OBJ
servers for the United States have
heretofore had under their eyes.
Until this time the forecasters have
been confined to observations taken in
this country alone, and their vision
was necessarily narrowed. But with
reports before them from Alaska, Ice
land, the Farce Islands, the Azores, the
Bermudas, Turks Island ard others
in the West Indies, from all over the
British isles, from Lisbon, Paris, Ham
burg, st. Petersburg, Moscow. Odessa,
Tomsk and Irkutsk and elsewhere,
their field approximates all of the
northern half of the world.
BY watching each day the changes
in barometric pressure over the entire
northern hemisphere Prof. Edward B.
Garriott, chief of the forecast division
of the United States weather service,
gets just so much additional light to
be applied to the area served by that
service, for the weather here is closely
related to that of all other portions of
the northern hemisphere.
In securing reports from Irkutsk, ST.
IBERIA, aud Nome, Alaska. the officials
count themselves fortunate. Irkutsk
it is said, is a strategic point in the
weather business. In nc small sense it
furnishes the key to the meteorological
situation. And a strange fact is that
the reports thus far received indicate
that Nome ana Irkutsk furnish a sharp
and practically invariable contrast.
