MAY READJUST
POLICE TITLES
Captain of Detectives and Cap
tain of Foot Officers
Proposed.

When Deputy Sheriff Jarrett assumes
control of the police department as
Sheriff in January, there may be re-
adjustment of the bureaus as well as
many changes in the personnel of the
| force.
When Sheriff Iaukea took office, he
made change in the titles of the of
ficers in charge of the three foot po-
lice watches, by eliminating captains
and substituting lieutenant and a
sergeant in each watch. Instead of
having senior captain of police over
these subordinate watch officers that
official was given the rank of captain
of police, the senior being eliminated
AS the mounted police is merely de-
tachment of police, mounted, a lieu
tenant heads that force, reporting to
the captain in the same way that the
heutenants do.
For the sake of discipline and to
make each bureau equally subordinate
to the Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff, there
is proposition on foot to put the de-
tective bureau on the same footing as
the regular police-that is, to have the
officer in charge known as captain and
his assistant a sergeant of detectives,
instead of being called "Chief" and
" Assistant Chief of Detectives. - This
would make the entire department con-
form in makeup to departments on the
mainland. In other words, under the
revised system the personnel of the
department would be as follows:
Sheriff (and Deputy Sheriff of Homo
LULU.
Captain of Detectives.
Sergeant of Detectives.
Captain of Police.
Lieutenants of watches (three).
Sergeants of watches (three).
Lieutenant of Mounted Police.
Under this system the supreme au-
thority is vested in the Sheriff, with
the clerical and legal work and coro-
ner's duties under the direction of the
Deputy Sheriff, and the detective and
regular police forces under captains
with equal authority, both equally sub
ordinate to the Sheriff, thus eliminat
ing any question as to whose authority |
in the bureaus is uppermost.
The present police system is found |
ed on the system in vogue during the |
days of the monarchy, when high |
titles were the thing. AS the
system of government changed the |
titles of those in direct charge of po-
lice affairs changed somewhat, but the
bureaus retained their weighty cogno-
mems, so that it was somewhat like an
ARMY of generals, colonies and captains,
with few privates to save the mark.

BRYAN TELLS
WHY He RAN
Says His Heart Was Never
Set on Holding
Office.

LINCOLN, November s. While moi
caring to discuss at this time the pc
| litical effect of the Democratic victory
! in his home state or analyze the causes
William J. Bryan yesterday afternoon
in an informal talk to number of
friends who called on him, expressed
his pleasure at the result in Nebraska,
and the satisfaction it afforded him to
learn of the election of so many of his
political and personal friends.
A delegation numbering nearly a
hundred from Lincoln visited Mr..
Bryan at Fairview to express to him
their confidence and devotion, and to
assure him that such was the sentiment
of majority of the people of his city
and state. Bryan responded as follows:
Bryan Expresses Qualification.
81 am highly gratifed over the re-
suits in this state. The national defeat
has not been such a disappointment
when we have had so many things to
console US. I hope I have convinced
my friends that running for office has
only been an incident to my work. My
heart has never been set on holding
office, but / wanted to do certain work
and it looked as though the Presidency
might offer the opportunity to do that
work. / am sure that in private life /
can have the chance to do something.
One is not required to hold office in
order to do big things; one is simply
required to do those things within his
reach, and that much is within the
reach of each of us.
Loyalty of His Friends.
Personally, shall find as much joy
being out of Office, if the returns show
l must be, as I>wou1d be in office.
hope still to be of influence to bring
about needed reforms. I appreciate
very much the confidence and loyalty
of the people near us. 1t has been the
greatest comfort that the election has
given us. The fact that those among
whom we live have shown this conf
dence we appreciate more than I can
tell you. 1t has been very kind in you
TO come out here and visit us on this
day"
The defeat he sustained Tuesday did
not weigh heavily on Bryan. He was
one of the most cheerful of those at
his home, and laughed and joked good
with his visitors. Last night
Bryan was the guest of honor at the
banquet of the state Teachers Associa-
ton, where he made a short address,
He has no other immediate plans than
to rest at his home following his can
vass.

SUPPORT LACKING
IN STOCK MARKET
Spectators Disappointed by Re-
action in Prices and In
ability to Get Cash

NEW YORK. Dec. 2O.-The sharp
setback in prices of stocks last week
belied the hopes of the speculative
element which counted on the protec-
tion of the market against reaction by
the millionaire operators through the
Tightening of the year end money mar
kets.
The support OF prices. which has been
rigidly maintained at ell stages of the
great rise of the last two months, was
seemingly abandoned at times during
the week and the diminished supply Of
resources available for borrowing for
speculative purposes was clearly an
element in that course of conduct.
The causes back OF the rising interest
rates for money We're sufficiently OBJ
vious. The weeks drain on cash re-
sources alone, what with the gold
shipments previous TO Saturday and
the large sums paid into the subtreas-
ury on subscriptions Ito the Panama
canal bonds was sufficient to wipe out
the surplus reserve of the banks.
The rise in money rates was effective,
first in checking the outgo of gold and
then in attracting some funds from
other centers to the New York money
market.
limitations come from London that
the Bank of England will begin pol
icy of gold accumulation with the new
year to bring its holdings into. line
with the great increases of the gov
ernment banks on the continent of
Europe.
1t is the belief of those interested
in railroads that the comprehensive
rates and classiications proposed by all
of the great railway systems will be-
come effective and will be a material
factor toward re-establishing the rev
enue of the railroads.

some of his intimate men friends.
and that each guest received a 500

Heinze was asked If any champagne

some popping of corks," but he did
not see any dancing.
Did you give away any $100 bflls?'
inquired the reporter.
NO. | did not replied Heinze
When one of the girls from the Anna

He just looked on and laughed. He's
