POLICE BOARD
TAKES A REST
FROM LABORS
Only Business at Weekly Ses-
sion Is TO Examine Mo-
torcycles.
SHAKE-UP IN MOTORCYCLE
SQUAD NOT MENTIONED
"What Viii They Do Next?"
Is the Burning
Question.

Persons accustomed to say "What
will they do neXt?" after each whim
of the present Board Of Police Cim-
missioners, were given nothing to
gasp at following the conference of
the board yesterday afternoon. All
that the board did-for publication
was to inspect several makes of mo-
torcycles and to receive bids for six
teen of the machines for the motor
cycle squad. The inspection was car
ried on openly, perhaps, because the
motorcycles were too large to be
taken into the boards executive
chamber. Nothing about much
rumored shakeup in the motorcycle
squad was even mentioned.
Although the board has done little
at its last two or three meetings,
many insist that a number of changes
are under consideration. For an in
stance, while most of the details, traf-
fic positions and other desirable jobs
on the police force have been redis-
tributed so that the incumbents are
satisfactory to the board, there are
still a few choice places remaining.
The present board appears to have
acquired q reputation nltnerto I'M
equalled in awarding, fruit from the
police plum tree to the faithful. 1t
has taken some twenty-five details
away from patrolmen, some of whom
had held them for years, and awarded
them to others OF its own choosing.
The process in depriving Patrolman
James E. Faraher of his traffic detail
at Market and Broad streets may
have been pursued with the idea of
showing the boards tact. Farahar
was taken from his post several
weeks ago, and the board. perhaps
wishing to let him down easily by
stages, assigned him to the traffic de-
tail at Springfield avenue and Tenth
street. Last Thursday he was de-
prived of this detail and ordered to
regular partrol duty in the Sixth pre-
cinct. Patrolman Farahar showed es-
pecial ability while on duty at the
-Four Corners and earned praise by
stopping two runaways and by other
acts.
Another veteran in the downtown
section, Patrolman Peter J. King, who
was stationed at Market and Halsey
streets, lost favor and his detail las
Thursday and was put back tt

cation into the affairs of the COM

toned as to manner in which stock

ested.
Mr.. Biertuempfel said he invested
about $4,000 in the Consolidated con-

and said it was his own money. The
witness said he sold all his property
on Komorn and Barbara streets to
the Newark Cork Works and his
wife.
"Do you own any real estate now,
Mr.. Biertuempfel?9 asked Samuel 1.
Kessler, counsel for the receiver.
"Only couple of lots in Long

each," answered the commissioner.

what you hold in the Newark Cork
Works and the Consolidated Cork

company by Mr.. Biertuempfel," said
the witness. 81 had known him for
many years and took his word that
it was a good investment. Yes, I
had access to tine books at sll times
when 1 was employed by the cork
works, but looking at the books
would have done me no good, because
did not understand them"
Richard A. Hensler, president Of
the Newark Cork Works, was ex-
pected TO appear as a witness, but
for some unexplained reason was
absent. Referee Edwin G. Adams
directed Mr.. Pieper to bring to court
at the next hearing the $4,000 check
with which he paid for his stock.

A GOOD EXAMPLE

The following from the Aberdeen
News shows how the road boosters on
the Yellowstone Trail are getting
busy and it seems as though the Black
and Yellow Trail boosters in the coun-
ty should follow this example. The
News says: "In accordance with ar
rangements made with the county
commissioners at the last meeting, the
Aberdeen Automobile club has several
teams at work on the Yellowstone
Trail east and west of the city drag
ging the road which has been put in
bad condition by the recent rains.
Bills for this work will be presented
to the county for payment at the end
Of each month. 1t is planned to Sc
cure a man and team for each two or
three miles of the trail through the
county and to arrange for the dragging
of the trail following each rain. In
this way it is hoped the road can be
kept in good condition at all times"

been living in the northwestern part of
the county, north of Bruce, were
brought here Thursday by Sheriff
Miner, charged with assault and bat
terry with a dangerous weapon. The
case is an unusual one and the facts
as we have been able to gather them
are as follows:
About three months ago Plat mar.
ried the widow of Knute Erickson,
who owned a farm free of encum.

or his wife are overly bright mentally
so it is said, and 1t is charged that
Baker, who went to live with them,
exercised an undue influence over
Plat. Mrs. Plat charges that the men
induced her to put a mortgage on her
farm and have spent $1,000 of her
money. Finally when she refused to
give them any more money they as
saulted her and beat her until her
body was covered with bruises and
cuts. She managed to make her es-
cape from the house and reached
Bruce, where she informed the authori-
ties and the arrest of the men fol.
lowed.
They waived examination when ar
raigned Saturday and were bound over
to the June term of circuit court
Baker was able to furnish bail, but
Plat is still in Jail.

Thursday, April 10Th, at Martin, S.

Dunbar were united in marriage by
Rev. Lindsey, pastor of the Presbyter-
