Chairman A. r. Colcord, Of the coun-
ell police committee, today gave the
impression that he did not expect any
thing radical to develop at the meeting
of the council police committee Thurs
day.
Il don't know of anything that will be
done between now and then, and | can't
say what the other members Of the
committee will do at the meeting" he
said.
The foes Of Chief Beavers seem less
determined in their plans to curb him
today than they were last week when
Mayor Woodward called the committee
before him and urged that something
be done to check the chief. All the
committee agreed with the mayor but
only Aldermen VanDyke and McClelland
have publicly expressed disapproval of
Chief Beavers policy.
While Councilman Colcord is still
nom committal friends of Mayor Wood
ward declare that he will remain true
to his promise to Mayor Woodward to
stand for a more practical policy
than that being pursued by Chief Bea-
vers.
The real authority in the matter still
rests in the hands Of Chairman Mason.

VAN DYKE CALLS ON
PASTOR TO BE SPECIFIC

Developments in the most important
political struggle facing the present
administration indicated today that the
foes of Chief of Police Beavers were
wavering in their fight to curb his vice
crusade.
Numerous plans were discussed over
Sunday by leaders in the movement to
halt the too strenuous" activity of the
police, but none was decided upon def
nitely. Among them was one calling
for the police commission to give what
ever authority Chief Beavers has over
boarding houses to Assistant Chief Jett.
1t was also suggested that the fight
DE carried to the floor of council in an
effort to have a resolution adopted adj
verse to Beavers.
However, it was generally admitted
that the chiefs position is impregnable
and a halt was called on any definite
move

Harper's Weekly.
Hadley, however believes that the
Progressives can not be coaxed back
into the Republican fold unless the ex-
listing methods of the Republican party
are radically changed and so altered
that the will of the majority win be
recognized al all times.

Brown Was Saved
By Seconds Only.

In spite of the fact that he wore rub
Der boots, Brown must certainly have
suceumbed to the force of the current
had it remained in play second or
two longer. The rubber was melted
and his protection thus gone, when the
switch was disconnected.
Brown dropped to the floor, limp and
unconscious when the current ceased
it's flow. He was hurried to a hospital.
and frantic efforts of physicians to-
ward his resuscitation were successful.
He still is held at the hospital, weak
after his ordeal, but safe.
Only two burns one at his temple
and one on his right foot, are to be re-
vealed as evidences of his experience.

An Appalling Thought.

Helen followed him to the door. real
izing that when Warren went out on
the street he would be lost to her
there would be no way she could reach
him until o'clock. To be left so alone
the first day in a foreign city seemed
suddenly somewhat appalling. Warren
kissed her hurriedly, and drew away
from her clinging arms with a curt:
Now, take care Of yourself Don't
get run over You have to look where
you're going here - these cabmen' d
sooner run over you than not Go to
the Bon MarChe That's a big shop
YOU can spend most OF the day there"
When he had gone, Helen glanced
around with a dismayed sense Of her
loneliness. And this place-she HATED
1t! The strong morning sun lit up the
shabby carpet and the dusty, worn, red
velvet furniture. The bedroom with
its now disordered bed and untidy
wash-stand was even less attractive.

with her guide book and a book of
French phrases, locked her trunk and
started Undetermined to find other
