Tom Carroll and
Bryan Near Split
Reported Here
Friends of State Law Enforcer
Answer Bryan's Attempt
to Be Dictator With
His Own Argument.

Trouble Is brewing between Cover
nor Charles w. Bryan. chief law en-
forcement officer, and Tom Carroll.
his new deputy chief law enforcement
officer, according to reports received
in Omaha by Carroll's friends
Resignation of Carroll. who has
been on the job scarcely two weeks,
is expected at any time unless he
can reach some agreement with the
governor as to his exact duties and
that he may have some voice in
selecting deputies.
Checks All Raids.
The governor Is reported to be in
sisting that every official act Of Car
roll be reported to him in advance
fair. They point to the reason given
by Bryan for not appointing Elmer
Thomas to Carroll's position.
Thomas is a lawyer and not a sea
soned police officer" Bryan said at
the time of the row over Carroll s
appointment.
Carroll's friends here say that
Bryan is a politician and editor and
not n police officer of long years of
experience like Carroll and for Car
roll to report to Bryan every time
he contemplated a raid would be folly
and something unusual in police
work.
Worked With Hyers.
Carroll worked in cooperation with
Gus Hyers' deputies for more than a
year. while he was a deputy federal
prohibition officer and 80 per cent of
the raids made by Carroll were di-
rected by Hyers and either Hyers or
his deputies accompanied Carroll.
Every denuty Hyers had in his
employ was a timetried police officer.
The first thing Bryan did was to
direct Carroll to hire Cal Broadly, a
private detective. and a brother of
Bryans private detective. Broadly is
to be Carroll's chief deputy and SO
far Carroll has failed to get Bryan's
consent to hire any of the seasoned
Hyers men or any. other officer with
years Of active, hard-fisted police ser.
vice to his credit.

Bryan Attack on Code
Is Refuted by Probe

Lincoln, Feb. 1.@Special) - Gov
ernor Bryan in his. daily interview
with newspaper men swung into his
customary assault on the code law
and produced sheet taken from the
expense ledger Of the department of
public works showing that two of the
deputies employed by Gus Hyers. for
mer state sheriff, had drawn salaries
from the department of public works
appropriation. instead of the law en-
torcement appropriation.
An investigation, conducted after
the interview, showed that under the
law the department of public works
must investigate violations of the mo-
tor registration law. At various times
Hyers would give his men leave or
absence without pay and turn them
over to the public works department
to investigate such violations.

former gets nothing. while the latter

Herr Cuno presented statistical
data bearing on the cost of the

Rhine, obtained from us daily, $780,
900 worth of coal in addition to valu

elaborate military organization will
consume more money than it claims
is due it through the alleged German
default"
Confusion and Destruction.
Chancellor Cuno said he believed
the Franco Belgian Ruhr army would
soon show itself to be a highly IRA
tional and unproductive instrument
chiefly designed to spread confusion
and destruction. He referred at
