POINTS OUT VALUE
OF USING MILITARY
RULES BY POLICE
ROmine Declares Police
Should Adhere to Slightly
Modulated Regulations.

Otis L. Romine, member Of the
park board and commander Of the
local post of the American Legion,
in a talk given before members of
the police department Thursday
night in the city court rooms stress
ed the importance of the depart
ment governing itself as a military
organization.
Mr.. Romine, who served as a cap
tain in the United States army dur
members Of the department 10 ed
here to a slightly modulated form
OF discipline and loyalty such as
predominate in the army.
"The South Bend police depart
ment. in reality, is the city's only
military organization and l believe
it very important that the depart
ment govern itself as a military
body" Mr. Romine said Your
success depends upon one vital
thing and that is discipline. Disci-
pine in the army makes the men
alert, courteous and self-reliant, and
these qualities a good police officer
should POSSESS.
cit is a policeman's duty 70 walk
10 his post in a military manner.
The officers of the department
should naturally set a fine example
for the patrolmen believe sa.
luting and other forms of courtesy
10 the officers Of the department,
TO the mayor and the city commits
sioners. should be strictly lived up
to IN the department
Value of Discipline.
Mr. Romine read parts from the
staidard policeman's manual adopt-
ed by the local department some
years ago, which included rules Of
discipline. lie explained 70 the Off
GERS the value of discipline in build
ing up some of the country's best
departments such as the New York
city force ard those of other large
cities. In basing his argument for
discipline and loyalty he likened the
department TO that Of an army regi-
nent as an organization Of defense.
Although believe we have one
Of the best OF police departments.
hitherto we have Paid more atten-
ton to regular routine necessities
than TO the element OF discipline.
appearance and the like. advocate
regular weekly inspection Of fire
arms and dress, and even drilling in
close order formations as impor-
tant. Although this city has been
fortunate IN the past 20 years or
more in not having any serious riots
or calls for defenes the day might
come when the police department
might have 10 march out in a body
TO quell an attack and the impor-
lance OF such discipline and drilling
would then be realized"
Mr.. Domino concluded his re-
marks BY mentioning the example
the local rclice department would
show 20 other cities by possessing
we'll policed and disciplined body.

HOOVER SEES
COAL MOVING
DESPITE .T|E-UP
100000 Tons Must Be
Transported Weekly for
Next Six Weeks.

Despite the deterioration of rolling
stock resulting from the shopmen's 8
strike and the possibility of other la.
Dor troubles, the railroads are ex-
peCted TO be able during the coming
winter to move all the coal that the
country needs, Secretary of Com
merCe Hoover declared today.
During the next six weeks, Hoov-
er said, it will he necessary for the
railroads to move 10000 tons Of
coal week.
The congestion of loaded coal cars
is disturbing factor in the present
situation, Hoover stated. Reports
to the Department of Commerce and
the Federal Fuel Distribution Com.
mittee indicate that approximately
100000 tons of coal-from 10000 TO
$4,000 cars-are now on sidetraCks
between the mines and the Great
Lakes.
Every effort is being made by the
fuel committee to move sufficient
tonnage to the Great Lakes before
the close of navigation, bat is now
probable, Hoover said, that enough
coal cannot be moved before that
time, and that the railroads in the
Great Lakes territory may have to
be used to transport fuel that ordi-
narly' would go by, y,water.
