THREE-MAN POLICE
BOARD LIKELY To
Be RESTORED
7REITMEYER OPPOSED TO SIN.
oLE.HEApEp DEPARTMENT AND
WILL PROBABLY ASK LEGlsLA-
TURE TO CHANGE SYSTEM.

Now that Philip Breitmeyer's cleo
ton mayor Is -assnred, the men
who are interested In city hall affairs
are specializing as TO his appoint
ments TO the important places that
will become vacant next July. What
complexities the problem is that Brett
meyer made an Independent campaign
and is not hampered by promises or
help given.
! The most important OF these Is the
commissionership OF the department
Of public works. II is the key TO po-
litical organization. Commissioner
Haarer has not taken an active part
In the political campaign and his
friends say that he will not ask for a
reappolntment, although there is no
denying the fact that he would not re-
fuse one.
Haarer has made a good commits
sioner In the view Of those who have
been In close touch with his admins
tration He has made number or
important reforms and has done an
immense amount OF work. The fact
that he has retained many employees
who are not political workers will
rather strengthen than hurt his
CHANCES Oh redppOlutmeul.
The police department is a puzzle.
but 1t Is likely that Breitmeyer will
solve It by asking the legislature to
change the one-man commission to a
three or five-man board William T.
Dust and Charles Weber are likely
appointes on the new board If one Is
created.
The park commissionership may go
to Myrtle p. Hurlbut or To VIM. T.
Dust, or Breitmeyer may choose some
man who has not been prominent In
politics at all.
II Is very possible that Edward w.
Pendleton, the member Of the water
board whose term will retire, may
retain his position. IL not. he will be
succeeded by some prominent busi-
ness man, possibly by John Gillespie.
The first aim OF the new mayor will
be to get his non-partisan street rail-
way commission going. 1t is probable
that the Board Of Commerce and the
real estate board will be literally rep
resented on this commission.

BURIED $4,000 FOUND

PARIS, Nov. o.--Twenty thousand
dollars worth Of Bulgarian banknotes
have been found In q boz buried un-

Mentone by fisherman, Who brought
the treasure to the police.

box, which had been concealed under
It. The notes, II IL supposed, were
stolen from the Bulgarian government
by two postoflce employees two years
ago who had taken to flight The Bull
garian authorities had traced them to
Nice, and one OF the fugiuves, II is
believed, surrendered and informed
his government that large sum In
banknotes had been buried by them
at certain place near Mentone.
The French police were requested
TO make a search. but they were I'M
able to find the box, as the directions

1t is the habit Of persons to hold inn
migration responsible for the vide
prevalence OF crime in the country.
says The Baltimore American, espe.
cially In the large centers. II is.
therefore, interesting to note the com
ment OF Judge Lindsey, Of the Denver
lnvenile Court: II am not one OF
those who lay much stress upon i'm
migration as cause Of crime in
this country, whether adult or iuve-
nile. Ny own investigation OF police
records has rather startled me BY
showing how few Of our Juvenile
criminals are Of foreign percentage
He then goes on to say that more
minors with foreign names may find
themselves in the court, but this
fact is due to poverty and ignorance
and not crime.
This Is a most interesting state
ment IL the deductions OF the Den
yer Judge are true. then other cause
must be found for crime. particularly
among the young. The only satisfac-
tory explanation is that furnished by
the decline of home discipline. The
youth do not receive the correction
and the guidance Of their parents
necessary for them to have until they
arrive at the age Of reflection. A
United States Senator. in deploring
the entrance of the State into the
sphere OF the home. by passing laws
regulating the habits of the youth,
declared that no amount OF law could
take the place OF salutary administra-
ton Of the birch switch or the handy
slipper.

Cities are giving much attention

agencies are already beginning to tell
for the development OF stronger

not too urgent or frequent In his ex.
hortations to the wealthy to train

There have been SO many arrests
for cruelty to animals in New York
that now a special day in the week is
set aside TO hear these cases ex-
clusiyely. The authorities, however,
declare that this is no sign cruelty is
increasing In the metropolis; but, on
the contrary, IL indicates that
humane sentiment is SO much on the
increase that many cases Of cruelty
are now taken up which before pass
ed unnoticed. There Is no doubt that
this sentiment Is spreading every
where, and that communities are
much the better for the curb placed
on brutality OF any kind. There is
entirely too little attention paid to
the cruelty to dumb animals in Gaines
vile, and The Sun has for years been
unable to understand why some per.
son with sympathy for the poor things
has not organized a society for their
protection.
