vestigation into police department
affairs as related to the riot Septem-
Der Is.
Another discussion on this sub
ject was prccipitated when Commits
sioner Butler renewed his resolution
calling for an investigation to be
held Friday afternoon, November
2S. The resolution, which was de-
feated, stirred up the following ex-
change of opinions:
What Mayor Contends,
Mayor Smith: II am opposed to
the resolution, because, as ] said
before. / believe that every police
man should be investigated, and il
he did not do his duty, he should
be discharged. : | think that this
demand for a public hearing is in
spired by political motives. Ny
father would not invite the whole
neighborhood whenever he wanted
to whip one of his boys"
1--WE should find out" replied Mr..
Butler, whether we are going to
have a police force that will pro-
tect us in the future. 1t is the
duty of this council to investigate.
l am not prompted by any. political
motives. We have heard SO much
about certain captains and ser
geants not doing their duty that
now is the time to find out just
what happened"
Expression of Ure.
Commissioner IRE: "The resolu-
ton is too indefinite. 1t is like a
fishing excursion. l believe that the
police department should be reor-
CARRIED and it should be handled in
different way, but l do not be-
licve that the proposed resolution
would help matters"
Commissioner Zimman: 'In what
way do you think the police depart
ment should be reorganized? You
are rather indefinite yourself, Mr..
IRE"
Perhaps I am" replied Mr.. Ure.
/, Commissioner Butler: "The. grand
jury reported that there was lack of
leadership. We might inquire why
the riot was not stopped in time and
wherein the police leaders fell
down."
Zimman Wants Reorganization.
Commissioner Zimman: "The pub
lie should know just what occurred
at the court house. I don't favor
the resolution, but | will say that
this council has the power to reor-
ganize the police department from
top to bottom, and when this coun-
Gil is ready to do that, then l will
be ready to vote with it."
Commissioner Falconer: with
all Of these accusations being heard,
the policemen are entitled to fair
investigation, if we could get any,
where with such an investigation.
but | don't see how we would get
with it."
Questions Governors Wisdom.
Commissioner Zimmar: What
right has the governor to call upon
this council to investigate? | ques-
ton the wisdom of the governors
in saying that the chief
Of police should be removed. |
would like to see the chief removed,
but l don't want the governor to
Mayor Smith: "The governor has
no right to interfere. I have had
reports prepared by all of the po-
licemen and these reports will be
given to Ralph, Wilson, the COVER
nor's representative"
And thus ended Commissioner
Buffers resolution, calling for
public investigation of the recent
riot and of the actions of the police
department. in that affair.

HAYS shocked
MANAGER TURNS
N FIRST REPORT
City Manager Of Kansas Town Makes
Startling Disclosures Of Finan-
ciAl Condition
CITY WAS SPENDING
$4,000 OVER INCOME
Citizens Pride in Street Paving
Pricked When Manning Reveals
that Cost Had Not Been
Provided

Hays, July 6.-(Special) Hays has
had a city manager for a little more
than six weeks. Within the first fort
night he saved more than enough to
pay his first months salary and made
a financial report which startled Hays.
He found that the city had been
spending more than $4,000 year in
excess Of its receipts. No one seemed
to know this, altho one Of the banks
had cashed the overdraft warrants
and charged six per cent interest. A.
w. Manning's first official report has
just been made public and for the first
time in its history Hays citizens know
what has taken place during the past
month.
The manager has explained just
how he made both water tanks usable,
one had been out Of commission for
eighteen months before he came. He
explained the progress Of repairs ut
the municipal light plant SO that the
laymen understood; and made a finan-
cial statement that set forth the city's
receipts and disbursements.
The citizens Of Hays have for some
time proudly pointed to the fact that
Hays had the only paved streets be-
tween Salina and Denver. Part OF
that pride was pricked when Man
ning's last report set forth the finan-
cial conditions of the cost Of the paw
ing. The total cost of the pavement,
including all warrants issued, reached
S1ss, s,S66,4S. To pay for this work
bonds were issued for STE, ,464.64 or
s15,901.79 less than the total cost OF
paving.
The total levy against the property
owners for the paving was $112,O2S.-
7s, leaving balance Of $76,S24.66 to
be paid from the general fund OF the
city concerning which Manning re-
ports: The total tax levy to take care
of the $1,000 in paving bonds and
s7,74O in interest or a total Of $24'-
GAO only amounted to $16,077.16, leav-
ing a balance Of S,562.s5 to be paid
and no funds to meet it"
The problem before Manning and
the city commissioners is to save the
city's credit by issuing bonds to meet
the interest on bonds they are unable
to meet.

AUTO THIEVES HIT BY
NEW BAY STATE LAW

Boston, Mass, July 8.-Dealers
who act a. "fences" in disposing Of
stolen automobiles are given q body
blow by . bill which now bears the
signature Of Governor Coolidge and
provides q fine Of $500 and year in
jail for violation of It's provisions.
Not only have scores Of cars been
stolen In Boston and vicinity in the
past months, but at least one life has
been lost in the attempt to run down
the thieves-that Of PatrOlman Chas'
Deininger.
The bill Is framed to include all
dealers in secondhand cars or those
assembling such cars. By its terms
they are compelled TO turn over to the
Police Commissioner and the Mas
saehusetts Highway Commission ev-
cry twenty-fOur hours a complete list
of the secondhand machines or parts
purchased, sold or stored by the deal
er. In other cities Of the state the
chief Of police and the selectmen arc
the designated officers.
The police are given authority to
inquire into the conduct Of a dealers
business, examine all automobiles OF
parts and all books or papers. Deal

tions are subject to fine Of not more
than $500 or q years Imprisonment OF

All purchased cars must be held
four days unless a release is granted

or the police commissioner of his in

FIGHT ON CANCER is
BEGUN BY SCIENTISTS
Mice Again Being Bred in Large
Numbers for Experimental
Work in Laboratories

New York, July S.-Cancer research
in America is proceeding as in pre-
war days, it is said at the Crocker
Laboratories of Columbia University.
Mice, the supply of which had prac-
tically been absorbed by the Govern
ment for use in trenches or submar-
ines and in camps for the purpose Of
detecting gas, are again being bred
in vast numbers for cancer labora-
tories At Columbia there are now
5000 tumor-bearing mice. During the
war the number had fallen to 1000.
Before the war it had reached $1,000.
The animals are being bred in New
York and Philadelphia.
The war has touched the cancer
problem in q strange way, according
to DIR. Francis Carter Wood, Director
of the George. Crocker Special Re-
search Fund at Columbia. In England
and Wales the cancer death rate has
shown enormous increase since the
war began and DR.. Wood, after an
exhaustive study of the latest statis-
tics available from the Office Of the
Registrar General Of Great Britian,
concludes that the increase is due to
the fact that "that portion of the male
population below the age of forty-fve
had been largely removed to France
and Belgium and the old-age groups
therefore predominated in wartime"
In this country the same phenome-
non will be noticed during the next
year or two, DR.. Wood said. This con-
dition, he pointed out, must, however,
be considered by age groups rather
than for the population as whole,
and if this is done no real change will
be found. Similar distortion Of can
GER death rate, he said, has been no
ticed in the New England States for
some years.
DR.. Wood says that for the first
time since the laboratory of the
Crocker Fund was opened no cancer
"cure" was sent in during the last
academic year for test. Apparently"
he adds, "the quacks during wartime
turned their attention in other direc-
tions."
