The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1921-08-17

It is stated that some eastern cap
italists are ready to construct water
works for Bozeman, provided they can
secure a reasonably liberal franchise
from the city council. If there is one
thing above another that Bozeman
needs it is a sure supply of pure
water. The wells which are our only
present source of supply for domestic
purposes are in some instances dry,
E-h;le in majority Of cases the water
so low as % furnish only an made
duate supply and that of doubtful
urity. Let Us have the water works
if obtainable upon any easy terms.
Judge MsCleary, recenely appoint
ed Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of Montana, and assigned to
the first district, arrived in Bozeman
on Friday last, where he intends est
ablishing his headquarters and taking
up his pertinent residence. Being
unable to lease a suitable house al
present, the Judge intends to purchase
a block of ground, on which at ar
Iearly date he will erect a handsome
and commodious family residence. Tht
Judge has made very favorable I'M
preston in this community and bid'

ChIefs d police. axe notice.

Here is a snre-fire method of de-
creasing crime waves in your cities,
says Charles c. Fftzmorris. Chicago
police chief.
l. Meritorious service by police
men should elevate them in the ranks
2. Reward your worthy policemen
and punish those who do not do their
duty.
3. Teach policemen to prevent
crime rather than trace it down after
It IS committed.
F1tzmorris, who little more than
two years ago was merely a secretary
to the Mayor of Chicago and who just
bit later than that was a newspaper
reporter. today is given credit in a re-
port made by the Chicago Crime Com
mission for having made the following
statement possible for publication:
Chicago today has a lower crime
record than any other city in the
country. Two years ago this city had
crime wave that was greater than
that In any other city in the United
states
THAT is substantially quotation
from the report MADE Dy Edwin w.
Sims. president of the Crime Commits
sion. And Sims, by the way, is a
banker-not connected with1he Police
Department in any way--while every
member Of the Crime Commission is a
tanker OF note: men who are sup
posed TO know the effects OF crime,
Didn't Come From Ranks
Fitzmorris didn't come from the
RANKS but today he Is encouraging
a system Of reward for meritorious
police service by promotion" believ-
ing that the man interested in his
work Is the man who will get the best
results. F'itzmorris learned several
things as a police reporter and in his
association with the department in
connection with his work as secre-
tary TO Mayor Thompson. of Chicago.
And here Is one of the things he
learned:
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1921-09-07

"Cilizens look upon a fireman sas
man who saves citizens from the
flames and who saves citizens homes,
while the same citizens look upon a
policeman as a nian who arrests them
nothing more"
This is the cue that started Fitz-
morris on the road to police success
success, because crime is greatly on
the decrease in Chicago. He started
out by teaching his policemen to help
citizens IN every way possible; to
teach these citizens that the police
man was not merely on hand ITO ar
rest them,'' but to help them.
Merit System Installed
To get policeman to adopt this at
titude, Fitzmorris installed system
Of promotion--that a man was placed
automatically in line for promotion
when he did service OF merit. To pre-
vent obstinate policemen, who refused
to cooperate in the new movement,
from hindering the movement Of fol-
lowing the old system. Fitzmorris
made it automatically punishable for
a policeman who neglected his duty.
Forty-seven railroads center in Chi
cago, which has population Of more
than 100000 persons, in addition to
floating tramp influx Of $50 a
day. This is the same population
that Chicago had three years ago,
when the crime wave was at its
height.
We reward our policemen when
ever their acts are. meritorious and
punish them when they fail to do
their duty" F1tzmorrfs said. I'VE
made it mandatory that when po-
liceman performed an act Of merit he
was automatically elevated in rank;
we teach them to prevent crime rather
than trace it down after it is commit
ted"

Freel's story was: That night
Kensler struck his wife and she told
him that 1t was the last time he
would strike her. That he then left
the house and went out to a straw
stack, where his bed was, and turn
ed in, soon going asleep. That some
time after midnight Mrs. Kensler
came out and woke him up, saying
that she had killed the old -.
and with a gun at his head forced
him out OF bed to help bury John.
Going into the house, he found the
body lying on the wagon sheet and
a masked mar standing over it. I'm
der compulsion he helped Mrs. Kens-
Ter and the masked man to drag the
body out and bury it. and then doe
tor1ng the head board, burning the
wagon sheet and the bedding. as Mrs.
Kensler described, and finally MON
ping up the blood and brain matter

breakfast.
Myrtle Kensler, the 1~0-year-old
daughter OF the victim, testified that
on that night, while asleep, she was
awakened by the report of a gun,
and getting up and going into the
front room she found the light out
and a smell of burnt powder in the
room. Going out to the back door
she saw her mother coming toward

was the matter, she was told to go
back to bed.
1t was testified to in the trial that
Freel had said that Mrs. Kensler
