Previous to turning over the office
to his successor yesterday, eX-Com-
missioner Frank R. Pou, following a
speech to the board by Attorney john
s. Beard, brought 10 THE atteHt3aE %
the board the cases of Louis Diebel
and William Camp, both liquor cases,
wherein the defendants had been
fined in the recorders court. Mr..
Pou explained that Die0el had paid
$45 and had served a short time of
the sentence imposed on him, and
that Chris Thiesen WAS security for
Diebel to make up the balance. He
moved that the balance of the fine
be RENTED, and this was seconded
by Commissioner Hlnrichs. Com
missioner Johnson protested against
the procedure, saying that he was
opposed to taking action on the cases
when there was no recommendation
from the recorder in the case. He
voted against the remittance, but the
other two commissioners carried their
point.
In the case of Camp, Mr.. Pou again
moved that his fine be RENTED, and
this was seconded by Commissioner
Hinrichs. For the same reason, that
the recorder had sent no recommended
ton. Commissioner johnson pro-
tested, and said that the men had
violated the law and should be pun
ished, unless there was something to
show to the contrary.

SHAKE Up IN
POLICE DEPT.
CAPTAIN CUSACHs REDUCED,
OFFICER REED BEING PUT IN
CHARGE-OTHERS MAY BE LET
OUT.

One Of the first acts of Police and
Fire Commissioner Sanders was the
reducing of Police Captain Cusachs in
rank. Capt. Cusachs, since Commits
sioner Sanders has been forced out Of
the city's service by the adjustment
of his office as CHIEF, has been active
ly in charge of the department.
Capt. Cusachs declined to offer his
resignation, stating that he had a
family to provide for. Comptroller
Bayless checked up the captains af-
fairs and found all in good shape.
Officer Reed, for many years con
nected with the department, and who
has an excellent record, was placed
temporarily in the captains position
and later when Capt. Wilde reached
the station at o'clock, he assumed
charge of the watch, upon the orders
of Commissioner Sanders. For the
present, Captain Wilde will be day
captain and Capt. Gilmore in charge
of the force at night, Commissioner
Sanders announced very plainly that
he was going to give all who did not
want to work in harmony with the
department an opportunity to resign
He announced also that some re
trenching would be done, but was not
in position last night to announce his
plans in that respect for the present

FIVE ALIEN ENEMIES
ARE GIVEN PERMITS

Permits were issued to alien en-
emies yesterday to enter the half
mile zone as follows: Joe Spotz,
Charles Miller; Fritz Zwaltz, VINO had
been naturalized, but who had lost his
papers; Michael Smith, Charles
Wolff, Charles Fred, Grosbern and
Herman Heinberg. Others are being
considered by the department, and it
is announced that until specific per-
mission is given an alien enemy to
enter the zone, he must remain out
under penalty of Imprisonment.
In connection with the establish
ment of this zone, there appears 20
be some misunderstanding as to the
action of the federal authorities. and
particularly the marshals office part
in the matter. The line is not an
arbitrary one, established by the mar
shall to suit the convenience of certain
parties. nor did the government make
any allowances. The line is fixed ac-
cording to the position of the nearest
federal vessel, and was originally
planned to extend to Chase street, as
it had to be a half mile above the
Penrose landing at Elkan dock.
Requests were made of the marshal
to place the line further down town
but he stated he could not, unless the
landing of the PenrOse was changed.
Through the action of the navy de
partment the landing of the Penrose
was moved to its old berth at tho
Gulf Machine Works, and the line au-
tomatically moved to Romano street
