SHAKEUP
Of POLICE To GET
MORE EFFICIENCY
Hutchison Says He's Displeased
With Way Things Are Being
Looked After
Reports say a shakeup is coming in

Reports say a shakeup is coming in
the police department.
Colonel Joseph Hutchison would
not admit the truth of the reports to-
day. The colonel did say, however,
that some things are not being looked
after, according to his views and or
ders.
For several days there have been
reports that officers doing night duty
have failed to make accurate reports
of police happenings. 1t is these in
accuracies that has been causing
Colonel Hutchison no little concern.
Complaint has been made that mat
ters referred to the desk officers at
night have not been reported to
Colonel Hutchison. Every morning
Lieutenant Edward Warden before
quitting his desk leaves Colonel
Hutchison a list of arrests and eX-
planation as to why arrests were
made. Due to the fact that some of
the important details are not reported
to Lieutenant Warden, these reports
have sometimes been incomplete.
orders, it is said, will go out re-
quiring desk officers to make a COM
plete report of all calls, complaints,
etc. These reports will be turned over
to Lieutenant Warden who will report
to Colonel Hutchison. If these orders
are hereafter disregarded, it was hint
ed in and about police headquarters,

ROOSEVELT SAYS HE
IS TRYING To KEEP
OUT Of POLITICS
In All Seriousness He Declares That
He Needs His Spare Time
For Other Purposes
By hssociatsd Press

Oyster Bay, n. Y. May 2s.-"I'm
trying to keep out of politics as much
as possible Just now" said Colonel
Roosevelt to-day. He made the re-
mark in all seriousness, notwithstand-
ing the fact that ever since his return
from South America he has been sec
ing his political associates at the rate
of half a dozen a day.
The colonel made this statement in
response to a question about the or
ganization work of the Progressive
party during the last year and his
opinion regarding proposals for its
amalgamation with the Republican
party. He declined to express any
views upon these subjects.
Just at present Colonel Roosevelt
said. he was busy with preparation of
new book. That would take up his
spare time until after his return from
Spain. which will be on July 4. After
that, he said. he would give more time
to politics, although he hoped that for
SIX weeks he would not be obliged to
give a great deal of time to party
affairs.
I'D like to get acquainted with my
family" he explained, but he shook
his head doubtfully as he said it.
Another political conference was to
be held to-day. Colonel Roosevelt eX-
pected to see ex-senator Albert ]. Bev-
eridge, Indiana Progressive leader;
Theodore Douglas Robinson, New York
Progressive state chairman, and Regis
Post, former governor of Porto Rico.
