duce him 10 the rank Of patrolman

received from Chief OF Police Kline
after he had completed work which
the chief had outlined for him.

Sergeant that never counter
manded my orders" Roberts re-
Flied by telling the chief that was
just where the trouble started" He
had two sets Of orders. one issued
Monday morning and another issued
Wednesday. The only logical thing
for him 10 do. he said, was to carry
out the orders as he had received
them.
The Monday order referred %
MAS TO make the rounds Of the
gambling dens and bawdy houses
and 10 halt all gambling and 10 close
up the houses. while the Wednes-
day night order commanded the ser
geant 20 visit the houses Of III re-
pute and 10 warn their operators 10
close UP for the night"

sued Monday night and visited both
the bawdy houses and the gambling
dens. The gamblers seeing the
presence Of the officers on Wednes-
day night. were said 10 have COM

their places were being raided when
they were not prepared. and this
complaint started the ball rolling.
which stopped only after Serg' {.
Roberts had been reprimanded for
carrying out his orders.

were said tonight 20 be at odds over
four important schedules in the new
measure. What was described as
an open split has occurred IN the
writing of the schedules for chem
icals, cotton, wool and silk.
Despite the lack Of agreement on
these schedules and the fact that
some others have passed only the
Subcommittee stage. Chairman Ford
ney held 10 his prediction OF June
10 as the date Of introduction. Some
members Of the committee declared
the house would not receive the
measure short Of June 90. The
chemical schedule. II was said. has
resulted IN a continuation OF the
fight originating IN the senate
against the further use OF restric-
tons. other than by tariff rates. on
the importation OF duyestuffs Mr.
Fordney is understood 10 have an
nounced his vigorous opposition IN

ton was given when they would he
taken up again. and but few mem
| bers were said TO feel that the mere
passing over OF the provisions would
eliminate the sore spots already
caused.
Neither the subcommittee nor
! the full republican membership has
succeeded in establishing basic rates
on the silk schedule. while sectional
views were said 20 be reflected in
I the attempts 20 fix rates on cotton
and its products.
The New England element in the
committee was said 20 be fighting
against the rates on cotton products.
claiming they were disproportionate
TO the rates on the raw product.
Few members were willing 20 talk
of the wool schedule. but It was

rates centered around the same
