After rs years OF study In the

Minority In Test on Rules

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The Dem
ocratic majority in the house this at
ternoon tested out the steam roller
which fell into its hands yesterday
The experiment was a success oil
right, but several times the machine
encountered obstacles and the Repub-
lican minority shrieked long and loud
when run over.
The roller was called into use TO
force adoption OF the rules OF the
house adopted by the Democratic eau
Gus.
Rep Henry (Dem., Texas). chair
man of the rules committee, offered
gag" resolution. IL provided for
immediate consideration of the rules
presented yesterday for four hours
general debate, then for one vote on
a substitute, TO be offered by the Re-
publicans, and then a final vote on
the adoption or the rules. The reso-
luton absolutely cut of all opportun-
ity for amendment TO the rules except
In a general substitute.
The Democrats knew that the Fro
gressives would not agree with the
standpat Republicans as to what

rules
Minority leader Mann, and Rep.
Norris (Rep., Neb.), the progressive,
protested against such a rule. and
there was long debate. Henry fin
ally moved to shut OF further talk on
the gag resolution, and at that
Crumpacker (Rep., Ind demanded a
roll call. Henry's motion carried by
205 TO 131. Henry then moved to
adopt the gag" Mann Immediately
demanded another roll call.

I'm FOR LAW AND ORDER
BUT FAIR TRIAL FOR ALL

In every other way opposed to viola
ton OF the law. I think that anybody
who wiilfully violates the statutes
and ordinances should be punished.
II has been said that tolerated the
carrying OF concealed weapons. That
II not so. I have been just as severe
a. I possibly could be with those who
were brought before me for such viola
lions. And I want to say right here
that I think that any man who car
ries q revolver for protection is q
fool, and that any man who carries
such q weapon for other purposes Is
q dangerous person The carrying OF
concealed weapons should be discour-
aged and I am anxious to do my part
IN doing away with the practice in De-
troft.
within the next year hope to be
able to show the members OF the POI
lice department that they have mis-
understood me; that ! am not now
and never have been prejudiced
AGAINST them, and that II Is really my
ambition 10 work In harmony with

men, themselves, 30 much for the mis-
understanding We have had, as I do
those who have been over them.
While Smith was the commissioner
the men were, encouraged TO antagon-
fse me and I was drawn into their
Quarrels against my wish. Why,
some OF the policemen who were
friendly toward me were afraid to
meet me on the street; they used to
cross to the other side when they
would see me coming, lest some one
see them recognizing me and report
them to the commissioner
However, things have changed a
little since Smith stepped out and was
succeeded by Mr.. Croul. I sincerely
believe that Mr.. Croul IL not antagon-
istic toward me. Yet, the department
openly opposed me IN the election, and
