President Taft said it was the best
regulated town he had ever seen. When
he was here last he noticed that the
policemen were able to keep back the
crowds during the parade without rop-
ing off the streets, and he commented
on their fine work
Abolish the police commission? The
department hasn't been conducted so
harmoniously and so businesslike in
years
He says our policemen lack punch
and snap Well. the greatest part of
the work of our policemen is to catch
negroes. We've got men who are ex-
perts. l had rather have one Of these
brave men than ten Who stand up with
awesome military bearing and then run
when a negro pulls rock or a razor
on him. our traffic officers are as good
as such officers in New York

Russia Proposes
DemObiliZatiOn

PARIS, Dee. 31.-The most important
move yet made to relieve the tension in
Europe resulting from the Balkan war
was made here today when p A. Iswol-
sky, the Russian ambassador to France,
called upon NJ. Raymond Poincaire, the
French foreign minister, and proposed
that Russia and Austria go into accord
upon the immediate mobilization Of
their reserves.
Mr.. lswolsky had been authorized by
his government to take such step.
and it indicated that in the eye of the
Russian government the way to com
plete peace and accord among the pow
ers of Europe is now open. The pro-
posal was that the armies, which were
modified during the gloomy days of
the war, should be dismissed.
NJ. Poincair5 took the matter under
Amusement, promising to consult with
the Austrian minister

bEAVERSOPPOSFs
POLICE BOARD
ABOLITION
Declares Sands Recommends.
ton Would Give Too Much
Power to One Man.

Taking issue with Municipal Eypert
Herbert r. Sands, Chief of Police James
l.. Beavers today declared himself
against the abolition of the police board
which had been recommended by the
prober.
The chief declared that under the
civil service rules the board is perform
ing valuable service to the depart.
ment, in that it chooses policemen who
are capable, mentally and physically,
from the heads of the force on down
through the supernumeraries.
To abolish the police board, accord
ing to Chief Beavers, would place too
much power in the hands of the chief
and his under officers, and this privi-
lege might be abused
Likewise. ne asserted, it might lead to
the choice of chief by popular cleo
ton, and bring back into the depart
ment the politics of the old days prior
to civil service.

Lawyers See Nothing
To Halt Conviction

There should not be the slightest
difficulty in convieting Mrs. Katherine
King and Jesse Nick Wilburn of the
murder of James King. The legal diff
hculties in obtaining conviction on an
unsupported confession do not apply to
this case" said Thomas B. Fielder. of
the new firm of Fielder Anderson Dill
ion e Whitman, today. He was
asked by The Georgian to define the le-
gal status of the noted case.
The prisoners viii not be permitted
to plead guilty of murder. but shoulG
they make no preparation for defense
attorneys would be appointed for them
and pleas of not guilty entered. Under
the law a confession, entirely unsup-
ported by other evidence. is not per-
MISSILE as evidence. But if there is
otHer evidenCe-Sucn as the negro,.
who might swear he saw Wilburn 90
ms toward King in the woods-tbis
would serve to convict
And where there is such evidence
the confessions will be admitted. if tbev
We're made voluntarily and without fear
Of punishment or hope ofreward. Con
tessions ELECTED under the third degree
would not be admitted
In this case for instance. the sheriff
and other officers and the newspaper
men to whom Wilburn and Mrs King
made free and voluntary confessions
might be summoned to swear to the
substance of the confessions. ana this
evidence. taken with the corroborativc
testimony and circumstances surround
ing the case, should be sufficient for

Opposed to Military
Training for Men.

As for setting-u up exercises and eS-
treme military features, Police Chief
Beavers dissented again. He takes the
position that the members of the de-
partment should at all times present a
neat appearance and exhibit sufficient
authority and force to maintain the nee
sary discipline, but that there should
be no czar- like measures or lack Of
civilitY toward citizens.
IF strict military measures are la-
quired of a police chief" says Chief
Beavers, the chief will take it out on
his men, and his men will take it out on
the people. There is such a thing a
going too far in SUCH reforms.
Our traffic squad and men on the
front in the day watch are required to
have white gloves and white collars,
the ensemble and march to ana from
the station is in the nature of a daily
drill, and there is a daily inspection Of
each watch as it goes on and comes of
duty.
The men are provided with two uni
forms a year-winter and summer-and
are required to keep the uniforms IN
good condition at all times. They also
are required to shave clean whenever
necessary You can go to any Of the
larger cities in the country and doubt
if you will find force of men who
present better appearance. | went to
New York and Toronto, and found some
policemen who looked lots worse than
members of the local force.
The tendency of military features
would make a machine of the force
knock down and drag-out affair. The
soldier applies one principle, obeys one
rule while the policeman must fit rules
to individual cases"

President j. o. Cochran, of the park
board, was bitter in his reply to the
statement of Expert Sands that the
park board was useless and even re-
tarded the work of the park depart
ment
He was hired to report certain
things and those things he had to re-
port" said he.
Outside of his recommendation that
the park board should be abolished he
did not say anything that was not al
ready known. The trouble with our
parks is lack of money. Why didn't he
tell us where to get more money!"
Colonel F. J. Paxons Chamber of
Commerce committee on municipal re-
search will consider the report at length
within a few days. Then the report will
be submitted to council, through the city
board of municipal research

Little Politics in
Department Now. 3"

There is less politics in the police
department." declared Chief Beavers
than there has been in the "a years
have been on the force. Prior to 81
years ago. when civil service was inau-
gurated, policemen shook in their boots
for fear they would be left off the force
by turn of the political wheel They
needed to know who their friends were
and about election time, when changes
were looked for. they were mighty anx
ious. Citizens against whom officers
made cases said, Never mindful gel
back at you on election day
Nov all that is changed, and the
members of the force are free to do
their duty. without feeling that they
owe anything to anybody in a political
way. This has increased the efficiency
of the force, and it would be a great
mistake to take any step calculated 10
upset the civil service"
Answering a question as TO the help
or hindrance of police boards. Chief
Beavers declared:
"The police board never has ham
pered me-"
The entire police force does not ap-
pear to have the punch or snap
said the experts report. To this Chief
Beavers replied:
Il think the police force has enough
of both punch and snap At least,
lot of people think the punch is pretty
strong"
