which it has been suggested. While
the temporary organization was per-
fected in Hammond by Hammond men
it came about as a result of an extern
sive correspondence in which council
men in other cities expressed them
selves as being opposed to the law
which gave the mayor so much power
and reduced them to figure heads.
Demands Are These.
The objects which it is hoped wal
be accomplished by the Indiana State
Association OF councilmen are as fol-
lows:
!. The modification of the present
cities and towns law by which the
city council will be given the right to
initiate legislation.
2. The modification Of the law to

to approve the appointment of the

LETS The

Oscar H. Schmidt, who was appointed
a court bailiff by the city council Al
the time of the reorganization of the
police department and who later served
as a detective and superintendent OF
the Identification bureau, was suspend.
ed yesterday at a meeting of the board
of public safety on a charg of neglect

in having me dismissed, and they well
know what they are. AS far as my

There is some talk this morning that

! Boasich is now at the county Jail, where
he is being held on an indictment re-
/ turned by the grand jury. The rea.
son of Boasich's dismissal, as explained
by member of the safety board, was
| for the reason that he could not pass

department and not for the various as
saults he has made during his career as
an officer on the Gary police depart

cal completion. It will be noticed that
the cities of Gary, Michigan City. Ham

To BE Factor.
The mayors organization, which sue
ceeded in having the city council
shorn OF most of the power that it
formerly had consists of only IL men
and it is expected that the State AS
ISOLATION of Councilmen will have a
membership of 100 to $50 before the
Legislature convenes.
This will make it a factor to be
| reckoned with. The councilman is al
ways a powerful factor in the politics
of any city and it is thought likely
that the demands of $50 oouncllmer
will be given respectful consideration
before the legislature.

they set forth but which most of the
Legislatures in the past have regarded
as unnecessary. Of course, none of
the institutions expects to get all that
IL asks for, and it never does, but IN
practically every case the institution
makes a hard fight and does large
amount of log rolling to put over Its
plan before the LEGISLATURE
1t is the history of all sessions of
the Legislature that the various in
terests form all kinds of combinations
to get their pet schemes through. This
is what is meant by log rolling. The

that he will help him to put his bill

in the Legislature to carry through
its bill unaided by others. SO they gel
together and agree that all three VIII

After Other ScaIps.
The council also directed the city at
torney to draw up an ordinance abol-
ishing the positions of street commits
sioner and court bauiff.
Patrick c. Finerty is the present
street commissioner. He is a Knots
appointee and by the processes in mo-
ton he will have no job in a few
weeks. The duties of street commits
sioner will then devolve upon John j.

to handle the street department. Ny
hoff is willing to take UP the extra re-

To Restore Schmidt.
A peculiar tale hangs around the
proposition to abolish the job of court
| bailiff. which pays $1,000 year. Tech
| nically this post is held down by De-
| tective Oscar Schmidt, who filed 1t for
1 a while and then became head of the
| city identification bureau. In the
meantime his place was filled by Po-
| liceman Turic.
| But OF late Schmidt and Mayor
| Knots have not been on the best of
| terms and the report has got out that
| Schmidt "squealed' on the city ad-
ministration at the grand jury probe
So yesterday Schmidt suspended
from office by Chief Martin. Now the
council contends that the place held
by Schmidt was created by council &C
ton only the council can remove him
The plan under way calls for the aboli-
