FUNK WILL KEEP
ACCUSED POLICE
Commissioner, Just Back From
Florida Trip, Says He'll
Stand Behind Men.
"LET JURY PASS ON CASE"
Department Head Declares Not
- Up to Him to "Step in and
Say They're Guilty"

After vacation Of nearly five
weeks, a. l.. Funk, commissioner Of
fire and police, returned yesterday
from Florida, and at once jumped into
the problem Of building up a police
department and attending to other
municipal matters which have been
awaiting his home coming.
Many changes have taken place in
the departments over which Commis-
sioncr Funk has jurisdiction. but he
will work slowly in the matter Of re-
organization, he declared last night.
81 have called upon Chief Lucas for
a report Of the department during my
absence. and he tells me that things
down there are moving along fine"
he said.
Pleased with Changes.
"In Sergeant Herring we have a
man Of executive ability, and one who
can do things. This is what is needed
at the desk and | am glad that dur

When asked if it was his intention
to retain the men on the force who
now stand charged with killing Yer
non Hatfield, the taXicab driver. Com
missioner Funk said that he favored
their retention.
Should ] remove the men ii would
place me in the position of attempting
to mould public opinion. This. | be-
licVc. is not right nor is it justice to
the men. We have court for that
and until their case has been tried |
will not attempt to step in and say
that the men are guilty"
The commissioner Of fire and pc
lice IS greatly surprised with tho
growth Of Tulsa, even during the
short time he has been away. and he
declares that every city at which he
stopped he was bcsieEed with ques.
uons concerning the prosperity Of this
community.
