Mrs. Eva Akin spent the week end
visiting with friends in Dolores.

The use of tonsils and adenoid tissue
is to fight disease germs which enter
the nose and mouth. They liberate lev
cocytes or white blood corpuscles into
the throat. Only when they are oyer
powered by disease germs, due to the
debilitating effect of repeated colds do
they become troublesome. Where
they become so badly infected that
they cannot be reduced and are har-
boring pus pockets, they should be
removed.

TO INVESTIGATE
CHARGES PLACED
AGAINST OFF ICE R
Chief Linn States That Luther
Cox, Suspended Policeman,
Will Demand Iuvestiga-
tion by Council.

Luther Cox, suspended city police.
man, will demand an investigation
by the city council, according to a
statement made this morning by o.
G Linn, chief of police.
ut was rumored today that the sus-
pended policeman would appear be-
fore the council in session tomorrow
night. Mr. Cox could not be found to
verify or deny THIS rumor.
Policeman Cox was suspended
September 18th by an order issued
by Mayor Durbin. The city's chief
executive first demanded Coxs resig
nation and suspended him after he
had failed to submit same
Written Charges Filled.
Written charges has been filed
against Policeman Cox by Mayor
Durbin. A verbatum copy OF the
charges follow:
General charge: said officer is
incompetent and unfit to perform
the duties of a policeman by reason
of insubordination, habitual violence
Of temper, profanity and rudeness
while engaged in the discharge of
his duties.
Specifications: many complaints
have been made against said officer
of the nature set forth above. In
some Of these cases, the evidence
was not sufficient to warrant pro
ceedings against said officer. In
others, he admitted having lost his
temper and used violent and abusive
language.
"The said officer was young and
seemed to possess possibilities of be-
coming a good policeman, by reason
Of being brave and energetic and
also of being able to serve either as
motorcycle officer or patrolman. He
was, therefore, censured for his mis-
conduct, warned of the seriousness
of his offense and permitted to re-
main on the force He was also
made a patroman, as soon as an
other was found to take his place
on the motorcycle, the reason for
the change being that as a patrol
man the said officer would be as
sociated with older officers, who, it
was believed, would assist him in
overcoming his fault.
"Used Abusive Language"
Recently said officer in pub
lie place and in the presence of per
sons not connected with city af-
fairs, without cause or provocation,
used abusive and profane language
concerning the mayor who, under
the law, is policeWan's superior
officer. Such conduct constituted in
subordination as well as rude and
profane conduct.
He was given an opportunity to
explain his meaning and attitude
hut such explanation was not salts
factory and indicated that he ex-
pected to control the acts of the
mayor and police judge rather than
receive and obey orders from him.
"As he is a young man of many
