r. |. CHIEF OF POLICE
ELIMINATED FROM BUDGET
Chief Said to Have Given Public
Notice of Non-enforcement
of Dry Law
SHERWOOD ACT INVALID
Town Financial Meeting Unani-
nous for Prohibitive Law
Enforcement

West Warwick, r. l., tax payers In
one OF the liveliest sessions ever held
voted last week to eliminate the chief
of police, Josaphat Hebert, from the
budget OF the town, ordering the
treasurer to cease paying him any SAL
airy because he had given public mo-
tloe that he would not try to enforce
the Sherwood dry law enforcement act
passed at the last session of the Legis-
lature.
Town Solicitor Murphy had issued
a statement that the Sherwood act
was null and void since an amendment
adopted by the Senate before the bill
went to the House had vanished from
the measure and did not appear until
after the act as finally adopted by tho
Senate in concurrence with the House,
reached the governor for signature.
Practically the entire state with the
exception of West Warwick recog-
nized that the measure was law after
it had been proclaimed by the secre-
tary of state until it should be declared
invalid by the proper legal authorities.
which is not likely to happen. Chief
Hebert accepted this dictum OF the
town solicitor and announced that he
would not attempt to carry out tho
law
The action quoted above was taken
at the annual town financial meeting
May II, where the meeting voted
unanimously to cut the appropriation
for the chiefs salary from the budget,
as we'll as the salaries of two other
officers OF the police force. and then
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas in the opinion of the
tax payers of West Warwick the
towns present police department
is worse than useless, and
Whereas the chief of police has
given public notice that he will
not attempt to enforce the stat
utes of Congress and of the Leg
islature of Rhode Island relative
to Prohibition, thereby inviting
every bootlegger in Kent county
to make West Warwick the rem
devious for his illegal business.
Therefore, be it resolved, That
this meeting declines to appropri-
ate any money to pay the salary
of the present chief of police so
long as he shall remain in office,
believing that the town will be
better off without his services.
The meeting was of the average
people--not merely the thigh brows"
or church people alone, not any class
alone. but the people" to whom the
liquor advocates said Prohibition dare
not be referred. After the session,
Chief Hebert announced that he
would serve out his term which ends
in November whether he receives a
salary or not. Later in the week the
West Warwick police commission
voted to instruct the chief to remain
on duty and issued a statement in
which it said that it assumed that the
chief would continue for the present
to transmit all complaints of the liq-
uor laws to the federal Prohibition
officers"
The commission is trying to dis
cover means OF paying the chief
from fees or other funds which do not
pass through the hands of the town

OF SEVERED HAND
NBRONX MYSTERY
Impression May Aid Police in
Establishing Identity of the
Murder Victim.

Efforts Of the police to establish the
identity of the Bronx Park murder
victim whose head was found near the
Botanical Garden ten days ago day
centred upon the successful finger
printing of the left hand, which was
found last night with the lower left
leg, and the upper rigtt leg.
Department and morgue experts
this morning obtained one successful
specification. Later in the day an
other will be sought. These prints
will go to the police of Eastern cities,
the army and navy, marine corps,
Post Office Department and such
banks as use a finger printing sys-
TEN. The present sole hope Of OBJ
tanning Information regarding the
dead man rests upon the prints.
Last night the laundry mark upon
collar was regarded as a possible
clue. 1t has been found too faint, due
to exposure and age, to be decipher-
able. Practically the only other aid is
the photograph made from the recon
struCted face. Distribution OF this
picture has not brought forward
anyone who recognizes the murder
victim.
At the same time that the police
decided upon the flngerprints as the
best means of Identification they dis
carded the theory that the slayers of
the unidentified man took their ttmo
in dtsposing of the body. This theory
was formed when the torso, neatly
