LAYS POLICE WOES TO
APPOINTMENT SYSTEM
Emory R. Buckner Blames De-
partment's Generalization to
Change Of Commissioners.

Tho present unsatisfactory condition or
affairs I'm the Police Department, accord
ing TO Emory r. Buckner, counsel for
the Curran Investigating Committee. Is
duo 10 lack of administrative ability OF
the department heads. Another cause. ne
INSERTS. is the frequency with Which
commissioners are changed and interfered
with by Mayors His statement came In
the course OF talk at the west she
Young Mems Christian Association yes
terday afternoon.
"If the next Mayor. by searching the
four corners of the earth. can find good
commissioner" said Mr.. Buckner, an
endeayor should be made to create public
sentiment In favor Of keeping him In OF
fee. III he is a good commissioner, the
next Mayor should keep him there. \
nrecedent would be established when
would be valuable In putting the Depart
ment on right basis.
cit IS better to have poor commission
o. ten wears. In my judgment, than to
have ten good commissioners serve one
wear each. In the last ten years there
have been eight different heads or the
Police Department / was AFRAID Mayor
Kiln. would remove Commissioner Waldo
had as he proved. The conclusion OF the
curran Committee was that tho funda-
mental weakness Of the department was
duo 20 the moving picture system OF ap-
no,nting and removing commissioners.
At the end Of his address questions were
hurled at the speaker
Ia.
"Do YOU think Waldos wealth. inter-
feres with his being a good commission
err" was asked,
.r ,hinl, he means well, and always has
reant well. and works as hard as poor
or man" replied Mr. Buckner, 1T Is
matter of incompetency."
some one else wanted TO know II the
sneaker thought the Police Commissioner
should be elected by popular vote.
mo" answered Mr.. Buckner mo
mora than | believe in the election OF
Judges The Governor should appoint
,hor, Why. a poor Governor could ap-
no,nt better Judges than are elected"
with an eye toward the future, one OF
,,s Guidance asked IL the speaker thought

Waldo.
."rhere may be. but I have never met

OLIVER PLANS NEW ROAD
Line Would Bring Knoxville
200 Miles Nearer Sea.

William J. Oliver. tho Southern rail-
road builder and the man who probably
would have built the Panama Canal had
not the government decided 10 construct
1t under the direction Of Colonel Goethals,
Is In the city closing arrangements for
the construction OF n direct route from
Knoxville. Tenn, TO Savannah. which will
make Knoxville nearly two hundred miles
nearer TO the sea. Mr.. Oliver is the owner
OF two short lines OF road, which will
be included In the route, and Is now
financing the construction OF the link
that will connect them.
He was the centre of a group of promi-
nent Southerners at the Waldorf last
night, among them the presidents OF sew
eral Of the South's largest cotton fac
tories. In the course OF conversation one
OF the cotton manufacturers said he
hoped the next convention OF the Ameri-
can Cotton Manufacturers Association
might be held In New York.
IL have reason TO believe that the con-
vention, which will be held in April or
May Will come to New York II an In
vitation be extended TO IT," said one of
the manufacturers. 1T seems to me mat
there is every reason why New YORK
business men should tako up the sugges-
ton and extend the invitation.
"The Southern manufacturers sell most
of their product In New York City or
through New York dealers. and the New
York banks do q great deal OF their busi-
ness and supply the greater part Oh the
money that Is used In handling the
South's tremendous cotton crop. Should
the manufacturers hold their convention
here II would give the Southerners bet
ter opportunity OF becoming personally
acquainted with their bankers and broK-
ers. and there seems no reason why the
New York Cotton Exchange. the Cham-
Der OF Commerce or some such orsaniza-
ton should not take the matter up.
MANY OF the Southern mills have ofnces
here. and for that reason New YORK
would be n desirable place for them 10
hold the convention. but they would not
feel Ike selecting the city as the place In
which 10 hold the convention unless there
WAS a formal invitation"
