He comes from the middle weet.
which gave the republicans control
in the next House. His training dur

been toward this goal, because even
during the speakership of .Tnclo
Joe" Cannon it was Mr.. BIann's study

sidered the one leader on which the
friends of the other members am
unite without surviving i'll feeling or
friction. 1t also is pointed out that
as the House now is controlled by
rules the office of Speaker is one of
honor rather than of arduous labor,
and that Mr.. Mann's health will not

Mai. Pullman Recommends
stricter Regulations in
Annual Report.

Copies Of the annual report Of Maj
Raymond W. Pullman, superintendent
of police, have been received from the
printer and are ready for distribution.
What Maj. Pullman thinks is one OF
the most important parts of his report
is his recommendation for a better
regulation governing the sales OF fire.

The superintendent Of police is not
in favor Of the O'Sullivan law, which
is intended to prohibit the possession
Of firearms, he says, because then the
thug would 60 armed. while the rep
utable citizen would not be able to
protect his own home.
Views on Firearm Question.
Mai. Pullman's views on the question
Of firearms are given in his report as
follows:
'aThe large number Of crimes COM
mitted during the year by irresponsi-
BILE people, particularly by bootleggers
and poolroom hangers-on carrying
dangerous weapons, emphasizes the
need for increased police authority TO
regulate more strictly the sale of fire.

a person may purchase tTearm oy

weapon, then going out and perhaps
killing a person in the next half hour.
Many crimes result from persons ouy,
ing revolverS in like manner ana
shooting others while in a fit OF pas
sion.
There is great need at the present
time of law which would make It
necessary for every person to make
j written application to dealer ior the
purchase Of a frearm and the ceaier

livery for at least fifteen days aftcr

give the police department time to
inquire into the character of the pros
pective purchaser and, incidentally, give
the prospective purchaser time 10 lose
his fit of passion if he desires to p1r-
chase the revolver to harm any one else.
'It is not believed by the police de-
partment that persons shoull be pro-

registered firearms which are found

that where a person has possession OF
an unregistered firearnl that the same

of having the same with wrongful in

"Of the persons murdered each year

arms fully two-thirds are committed
by irresponsible persons who never
should have been allowed to purchase

therefore, recommended that the
