TAKE It BACK
Or I'LL SHOOT"
Dramatic Scene Before Pc
lice Board Investigating
Charge Against Officer.
CALLED BLACK SHEEP
Appelation More Than John Kosmalo
Can Stand So He Pounces on
Brother Policeman.

Take that back! Take that back, I
tell you! I'll show you whether I'm a
black sheep or notl Take that back"
With these words Officer John Kos
malo of the West Hammond police
force, rushed fiercely up to officer John
Okroy and grasping him by the shout
der with one hand he pressed the
muzzle of his revolver firmly against
his brother officers head. Kosmalo and
Okroy stood thus for full minute,
Kosmalo reiterating over and over
again the threatening command, You
take that back"
Okroy seemed rooted to the spot and
might have been killed then and there
If John Kulczyk had not come to his
senses before Kosmalo pulled the trig-
ger, knocked Kosmalo down and hand
ed his gun to President Jacob Czarze-
wicz
This dramatic scene took place in the
West Hammond village hall during a
meeting of the police board. called to
investigate a charge that had been pre-
ferred against officer Kosmalo.
Calls Brother Black Sheep.
During the progress of the meeting
Okroy was placed on the stand in the
Kosmalo called him a black sheep"
At this Kosmalo jumped up from his
seat and pulling out his revolver
placed it against Okroy's breast and
started poking the muzzle of the gun
against his chest. asking him to take
it back. For the time, Okroy was
paralyzed with fear that Kosmalo would
shoot. 1t was then that John KuIczyk
jumped upon Kosmalo and threw him to
the floor where the gun was taken from
him.
During the meelee Kosmalo sustained
numerous bruises where the two Of
ficers stepped on him while he was on
the floor, when he was allowed to get
up, in a rage he pulled off his star and
throwing 1t upon the floor, said he re-
signed then and there. At this sud
den turn, President Czazewicz stopped
to the floor and picking up the star,
replaced it on the officers coat at the
same time telling him not to do any
thing rash. He was then given back
his revolver and without saying a word
he turned and walked away. Today
he is travelling his beat as though moth
ing had happened. Such is life on the
police force across the line.
Board FOrgets to Conclude.
During the excitement the board for
got to conclude the investigation and
| as a result it was postponed until some
future date when it is expected a close
watch will be maintained over the wit
nesses so there will be no more gun
play during the progress of the investi-
cation.
The police board, who had charge of
the investigation is composed of Jacob
Czazewicz, John Rohwedder, Michael
Modziewiski and Henry Wlekinski.
It is said today by a citizen who was
at the trial that had Okroy not been
pulled off he would have killed Kos
malo In his rage. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that the charges against
Kosmalo was that of being drunk while
on duty, but the truth of this cannot
! be learned.

Hanks and Hartman.

The case Of Mr.. Hanks and Mr. Harri-
man. who failed to produce the goods after
they had promised to hand over q first
class Indictment Of the interstate commerce
commission. ought to furnish a warning to
all hunters of mares nests In the govern
ment field. Mr.. Hanks and Mr.. Hartman
put up strong claims. They vowed that
they had positive proof that tho commits
sion was all wrong In its statistics. They
promised to deliver brand of ngures that
would put the official outfit out Of business.
The President took the attitude of the
Mlss0urian. but he gave the aecusers ample
means to prove their case. He even sup
piled them with interstate commerce COM
mission funds to prove the worthlessness Of
the interstate commerce commissions data
That was truly generous treatment, and It
was worthy of better results. II Messrs
Hanks and Hartman had made good and
presented positive proof of statistical faIsity
the Information would have been worth
far more to the government than the rolls

gentlemen spent so freely. But II proved

Reform the Court Processes.

With the case of the people against Harry
Thaw. accused of the murder of Stanford
White. completed in two hours on the first
day of the actual trial. the public settles
down to a dreary process of defense on
the insanity hypothesis, doubtless stretch-
ing out over many days, and with the re-
longing the trial perhaps through the
month of February. II the verdict is rem
dered before March / there will be great
surprise in all quarters. Given the means
to employ counsel. to trace witnesses, and
to hire experts an accused person may
with his case resting on the plea of In
sanity. stretch his defense out almost in
definitely. There IL no limit to his enter
prise save his own resources, and he Is at
liberty to present expert after expert to
return the same answers to hypothetical
questions. He can bring forward witness
after witness to testify to personal eccen-
tricities and perhaps to hereditary ten
denotes. The research In such q case goes
very far afield, and the public Ia virtually
unprotected in the face of the resultant
flood of time consuming, money wasting
cumulative evidence.
It Is the theory of our modern system of
criminal Jurisprudence that the prosecution
- merely an agency for determining the
facts. The fact. however. Is that the prose-
cution has become q method Of attack,
amounting In many cases to relentless
persecution. In trials involving pleas in
extenuation this characteristic becomes
particularly noticeable. A sentiment u

steadily growing In favor Of change
which will empower the court to i,terpose
between prosecution and defense, to shorten
trials, to curtail expense and perhaps 10
insure the more even administration OF
justice. 1t has been often proposed that
all points involving technical questions,
such as the effect of pofsons, the operation
of mechanism, and, above all, the vagaries
and diseases of the human brain, should
not be threshed out in court to the con-
fusion of the jurors and at heavy con-
sumption of time, but should be referred
to commissions of experts, chosen with
great care by the court itself. These COM
missions should sit apart from the court,
and should report their conclusions to It
for the guidance Of the jury. II the ex-
perts cannot agree they should file separate
reports, leaving the jury to choose between
them. BY such a system 1t would be pos
sible for the court. without in any degree
lessening the chance of the rendering OF
just verdict to reduce the wrangiing OF
counsel and the minute cross-examination
of witnesses to minimum.
The purpose of the court procedure IS 10
determine the facts and the function of the
jury Is to pass judgment on those facts. The
problem involved in the serious congestion
the question whether we have sufficiently
observed these two fundamental objects of
the law. Celebrated trials become spectacles
for the diversion Of the public They are
utilized by ambitious attorneys for advertis-
ing purposes. They degenerate into tedious
clubbing over Insignificant trif1es. The time
of the juryman. separated for weeks from
his business and his home, is wantonly vast
ed when by the adoption of a rational sys-
tenn of inquiry the trial could in almost
every case be reduced to less than a single
week With the jury STRUCK" from the
rolls. as under the New Jersey system, with
the taking of testimony regulated by COM
mon sense rules and with technical ques-
lions referred to expert commissions ap-
pointed by the court. this evil would be
abated. AS the case stands the American
process of ascertaining the guilt or inno-
cence of person accused of crime, es-
pecialiy in vogue in New York, is a re-
proach to our civilization.

Railroad Temperance.
From the Utica Press.

FrOm the Utfca FreSS.
Dispatches from Wiikesbarre report that
the Lehigh Valley railroad has issued, or
soon will issue orders that every employe in
the operating department take the pledge of
of this and all other railroads are very
anxious that their employees in the oper-
atng and all other departments be tenn
perate. The great corporations take more
pains in this matter than most people sup
pose. They have opportunities for finding
out just what are the habits Of their men.
If they drink or gamble. that fact is re-
ported to headquarters and the man who
Is guilty is called into the Office and given
his time Very many companies go so far
as to employ detectives for this express
purpose. and they make a business OF
guarding these points very carefully. In
railroading especially a clear head is es-
sential to safety and no man that is full OF
intoxicating liquor can have a clear head.

COMPLAINT From the West.

From the Denver Republican.
Among the notable changes to be made
in the Goth Congress, brought about by
the fall elections, will be the reconstruction
of the committee on ways and means of
the House of Representatives.. OF the
twelve republican members of the commit
tee, five are to be retired, leaving but one
west of the Mississippi river-Needham of
California The vast country lying between
the Mississippi river and tho Pacific has
no representation on this committee, with
which lies the directing and usually con-
trolling power in leading legislation, es-
pecially that which relates to the tariff.
The custom Of combining assignments to
this and other important committees to
eastern representatives, initiated when the
west was an Insignificant factor has re-
manned, during which time the west has
grown to a position and an Importance that
seems to deserve recognition.
