EUROPEAN POLICE DON'T
MAKE HIT WITH KOHLER

LONDON. Oct. 23.-Chief OF Police
Fred Kohler, OF Cleveland-"the best
chief in the world" according to
Theodore Roosevelt-is not particular
ly impressed by Europe's police de-
partments, which he has been look
ing over since July.
THE London policeman are patient,
polite and admiralty organized" he
says. but that's all. They haven't
much on us. The Paris and Berlin
police have less. The European po-
liceman has an easy job anyhow. He
deals with a public which has an In
herent fear of a uniform.
I'm all the cities | have visited I
found a system OF espionage which
probably wouldn't be tolerated in Am
erica but which certainly makes for
efficiency. The man on the beat Is
watched by other men, whom he does
not know and who report his move
ments to headquarters Reports are
compared and his superiors know II
he Is concealing or misrepresenting
anything.
But in crime detection European
police cannot touch the American.
The American crook Is more daring
and original than the European and
the American detective has had to
sharpen his wits TO deal with the
master craftsman"

ANOTHER POTATO CORNER
Is BUSTED y : OPEN
Market Breaks in Des Moines
When Mayor Buys Spuds and
Sells Them To People.

DIES MONIES. Ia. Oct. 22.=When
Mayor James Hanna opened the city
market-place four months ago, pota-
toes sold at so cents a peck.
Today patrons OF the market
brought all they wanted OF the best
quality at so cents bushel.
The potato trust" Ia broken-Mayor
Hanna broke IT, One carload OF po-
tatoes which he shipped into Des
Moines and sold at 65 cents bushel
brought prices tumbling. Now the
grocers themselves are advertising po-
tatoes at 65 and 76 cents. At the city
market a half-dozen men are offering
spuds for 60 cents
One week ago grocers and bucks
ters who controlled the potato mar
Through four months OF the market
potato prices had been hammered
down from $40 a bushel to that fig
ure but further II didn't seem they
would GO
Then Mayor Hanna sent Edward
Lytton, his secretary, on trip through
Iowa potato districts TO find out
what the farmers were getting.
Lytton found that within thirty
miles of Des Moines farmers were
selling potatoes for 40 and As cents.
The commission men were swapping
up the tubers, shipping them to Des
Moines and reselling at 100 per cent
profit.
Mayor Hanna heard Lytton's report
and got busy. He contracted FOR a
- a. hA ohInnah from
Durant Thu potatoes cost so cents
and were OF the best quality. Esti-
mating freight charges, shrinkage
and cost OF handling at Is cents a
bushel. Mayor Hanna decided on a
price OF 60 cents. The potatoes ar
rived and five big transfer wagons
carted them to the market. The
wagon drove In at 6:45 a. m. and then
began a charge that Will become
famous In Des Moines.
An hour later the last $40 bushels
had been sold and hundreds OF peo-
pie who had been unable to get within
approaching distance Of the wagons
were disappointed.
The roar OF the commission men
was long and loud They accused the
mayor Of wasting the city's funds TO
further his own ambitions. The
mayor showed he had not used a
cent and declared he was going to
keep right on selling cheap potatoes
until the market was broken.
Today the market Is broken. Two
cars of potatoes were brought to Des
Moines by individuals and sold on the
market place at IS cents. The COM
mission men have begun u cut prices
and potatoes promise to drop to 90
cents.

AMERICANS CAN AFFORD MORE.
Report on Cost of Living and Wages
Here and in Great Britain Made.

London. April 12.-Copies of a report
on the cost of living in American cities
based on inquiries made in % repre-
sentative towns by officials of the
British board of trade, were circulated
in parliament last evening. The report
makes a voluminous budget of 533 pages
and covers the questions of working
class. housing, retail prices of COM
modities and rates of wages In the
United States compiled for purposes of
comparison with the conditions of
workers in Great Britain and other
countries.
The conclusions reached are:
THE cost of food and rent combined
is 50 per cent greater in the United
States than in England and Wales but
these heavier relative charges on work.
ing class income have been accom-
panied with weekly wages which are as
230 to 100''
The report adds that this ratio of
money earnings is more than IA times
as great as in England and Wales and
makes possible a command of neceS-
sary conveniences and minor luxurie5
of life that is both nominally and really
greater than that enjoyed by the CORE
spending class in this country although
the effective margin in practice is cur
tailed by a scale of expenditures to
some extent necessarily and to some
extent voluntarily, adopted in accord
ance with the different and higher
standard of material comfort"

COMMISSION WORKING.
New Plan for State School Govern
ment Is Being Commended.

The new commission government for
the Kansas state educational instltu-
tions is now in working order. The
three committees are now at work on
their plans for handling their end OF
the business. The committee on ef-
ficiency has sent to each school for a
complete list of all the work being done
there, who is doing it, why and how
much it is costing, The finance com
mittee is working out its plans for u
complete revision of the financial bust
ness of the three schools and the COM
mittee on coordination of work has
started its preliminary studies of the
different branches of student endeaVor
"a the different schools.
1t is planned to have an actual bust
tions. A monthly balance sheet is to be
prepared showing just what each de-
partment cost, why the expense was
needed and who the money went to.
The efficiency and finance committees
will work together on some of the prob
lens to see if the state is getting full
value for the money it is spending in
each department
Governor Stubs is receiving many
letters from educators and business
men throughout the state commencing
the plan to have the three schools work
together as much as possible but still.
leave each one it's own initiative and to
work out its own special work. The
three schools have certain lines to fol-
low and each has it's own place in the
educational system of the state. Still
there is much general good that the
three schools could do by working to-
gether in everything.
The three committees will hold meet
ings every few days and it is planned
to have a meeting of the full commits
sion. comprising the eighteen regents OF
the three schools about once each
month to hear the reports of the COM
mittees as far as the work has pro-
crossed and to make suggestions for
continuing certain lines of investiga-
ton.

Granted Heavy Damages.

New York. April 1.-THE heroism
of Orlavus Juve and John j. McGlynn,

600 damages to each.
They were placing in position some
large iron plates on the tower of the
bridge. One of these slipped from its
supports and would have fallen in the

Must .EolloM COPY,

Charles Sessions, secretary of state,
issued an order yesterday for the print
ers at the state printing plant to fol
low copy on the session laws and stop
editing the statutes. When the proofs
of one of the bills passed came over
the other day Sessions found that nine
commas had been inserted into one
section. The commas properly belong
ed where the printers put them, but
the law was not passed by the legisla-
ture with those commas in. Since the
memory of man runneth not to the
contrary it has been the prerogative of
printers to edit the copy sent to them.
But Sessions had a talk with some
member of the supreme court and an
order was issued that the printers were
to set the session laws this year just
as the copy came to them as the in
sertion of a comma might invalidate
a bill.

TO BRING CHILDREN HERE.
Mennonites Rally to Aid of Heart
broken Parents.

Hutchinson, Kan, April 12.-As soon
as the necessary permission can be Sc
cured from the government immigra-
ton bureau. the three little children
OF Mr.. and Mrs. D. d. Reimer of Hills
boro. who were torn from their par
ents by a heartiess government regula-
ton, will be brought to Kansas from
Asiatic Russia.
A. b. BUTLER, prominent Mennon-
lite of the BUTLER neighborhood, will go
to Siberia, get the three children, and
bring them back to their parents.
Funds are being raised among the
Mennonite churches of this section of
the state, subscription lists being OPP
ened at all of the churches of these
people. A sufficient fund to defray the
expense of securing the government or
der, paying the expenses of Mr.. BUTLER
and bringing the children here, has
been raised.
Nearly a year ago the Reimer family
emigrated to America. At Galveston,
a strict inspection of the immigration
bureau, and the surgeons decided that
the three children could not be admit
ted because of some infection of the
eyes.
The parents were permitted to enter,
all right. but the government sent the
three children back to the port from
which they had set out, in Russia. The
parents did not have enough money to
go back with them.
The heartbroken father and mother
came on to Kansas. settled at Hills
boro, and made their dilemma known
to their brethren among the Mennon-
ties The latter at once began raising
funds, took the matter up with the
government, and now believe they have
found a way of uniting the family
again.

favorable air currents up to an alti-
tude of 10000 feet were exhausted
by the aeronauts before they gave up
their attempt to capture the long dis
lance trophy.
The attempt of Honeywell and Toll
