Il is claimed that it is Impossible 10
patch up the breach,
The relations have become 80
strained that th" chief ana ms as
slstant are no longer on sp'dNlnB
terms and open warfare has been de-
clarcd, accompanied by threats OF eS

Breach Is - 'dcned.
There has not bee ne pGSt "
feeling between Eode nd Hanson
for several months the lea
break began with the en- y 'yment o.
Harry Stege, for the installation OF
the Bertillion system Of Identifying
criminals. Siege scens in some man

causes for the threatened bloWup.
He IS lined up with the Yoder fac
tiou and Hanson's friends declare
that ne Is rank outsider and
trouble maker and that he seeks 10
secure the position Of assistant chleI
of police himself.
Stcge Is training Charles McDohald

the higher mp officials declare that
there is not the SLIGHTEST chance IN
the world for him to supplant nan
son and are unable to understand
why he has become involved in the
matter at all
MAY BE Up Today.
Tho matter WITH perhaps come be-
fore the commissioners today Tor
anal action and II is claimed that
Police Commissioner ForNthc, Whllt
he has been loathe 20 tax" sides, VIII
Stand 10y Yodcr If compelled to take
n stand and insist upon his rights To
run the deparlment the sumo as th'
other omn'ss'oucrs are pern'tted to
40 i'm their dcpartnents. Commits
sloner Colley it Is claimed Is unde-
cided while Commissioners wilson
and Downing are doin" what theN
can to avoid row and are In a way
fayoring Hanson. TNe position oi
Mayor Wooden is unl,nown further
than that he is insistiue that the po-
lice row be ended and thot he faNors
allowing the police commissioner ana
the chief Of police to have tree
hand i'm running the department
Altogether II is one of the livelos'
scraps that has been pulled OF ID
Tulsa I'm long time and the entire
CITY administration Is more ar ioss
disturbed as both Yoder and Hanson
have strong friends and sunporlers
cauable Of making an kinds of
trouble if they should take 1t into
their minds seriously to do SO re-
gardless of the fact that II is in real
itv a personal controversy
