THE OBSER YER.
Makes Random Observations
On the City and Its People

| Quite often incumbents are renom-
mated for years until they retire
voluntarily. Citizens living in the
country are charatceristically con-
servatiye and believe In letting well
enough alone. Office holders are
known personally to all In the COM
munity and as long as they discharge
the duties of their office with a ges-
ture OF efficiency, they are let alone.
In the cities. 1t Is different. Cam
didates for office are not known
personally to the voters. Issues are
the thing. The party which sue
ceeds in driving home their issue by
means OF oratory and newspaper
space finds Its candidates elected.
Many Bristol voters are excited
over the election of mayor and
members OF the common council in
that city on Monday. Mayor John
! II. Wade and John Donnelly are con-
testing for the mayoralty office
without political designation. Wade
and Donnelly finished first and sec
ond respectively In an elimination
primary and 1t is up to the electors
to choose one of them. Supporters
of Mayor Wade believe he will be
reelected. But you'll hear another
story II you listen to men who arc
convinced that Donnelly is the bet
ter man for the Job.
Under new system introduced in
the police department since the as
s!gnment Of patrolmen TO duty In
automobiles, headquarters will hear
from at least one man using gaso-
line power every seven and one half
minutes.
There are two men in automobiles
and two on motorcycles. Each Is
required to call up headquarters
every half hour and the calls are
so arranged that they come In every
seven and one-half minutes apart.
The advantages Of this system in the
case of an emergency can be clearly
realized. Occasionally headquarters
| hears OF an automobile accident in
which one Of the parties involved
attempts to evade responsibility by
darting away from the scene. Under
such circumstances it would not be
long before one of the motorcycle
men, or a patrolman In an automo-
bile, would be told of the incident
and informed of the direction taken
by the fugitive. If the trail were
at all warm, he could probably make
succeeded in gaining the city line.
| Theoretically, the system makes the
police department stronger and en-
ables it 10 strike more quickly when
the occasion arises.
In the case Of man hunt when
fugitive is wanted for serious
crime, men who patrol their beats
by machine could be stationed at
exits from the city in the vicinity of
the crime. It will be recalled that
Giovanni Vottari, who Is now serv-
ing q life sentence at state prison
for the murder of Joseph D'Angelo
escaped because the alarm could not
be spread quick enough to police
men who were patrolling the upper
Stanley street beat. Whether he
would have been caught before leav-
ing the city even If the police depart
ment had its present automotive
equipment is problematicaL 1t is
certain, however, that the depart

MINERS RELIEF

The first hundred dollars Of Chi

the Southern Illinois miners relief
appeal has been passed, with only a
small number of branches and indi-
vidual members heard from. While
the "pay envelopes" have not come
in as rapidly as was expected, the
contributions have been generous, and
when the campaign is ended it is ex-
pected that the quota will be more
than met. Every member is asked to
donate one per cent of a weekly wage,
and to try to get two friends or fell
low workers to do the same. Thus
far the contributions have mostly
been from members of the Workers
(Communist) Party branches, but it
is expected that beginning this week
the contributions from sympathizers
will materially swell the receipts. To

IN FIRE CASE
Farmer Pleads Guilty to
Arson in Police
Court

Karl Wolff. Burleigh county farm

marshal, for setting fire to a barn
and granary on the farm Of his faith
cr, Christian Wolff, located near
Arena, was bound over to district
court on $4,000 bond when he plead
ed guilty to arson in police court
late yesterday.
Wolff is held in county Jail.
A verbal admission that he fired
his fathers barn on July 2l to obtain
approximately $7.400 in insurance
was supple yesterday by 4
written confession witnessed by the
state fire marshal and Sheriff Albin
Hedstrom.
Early Trial
If Wolff is willing to enter plea
of guilty next week in district court,
he will be tried and sentenced upon
the return Of Judge Jansonius who
will be absent from Bismarck until
Monday.
In the written confession, Wolff
states that he set match to inflam-
mable material in the barn which
with the Wolff granary were COM
pletely destroyed by flames. The doc
ument completely exonerates the
father from culpability in the crime.
The prisoner held five fire insur-
ance policies on the barn in addi-
ton to one held by the father.
Wolff was trapped through detec-
tive work of Fire Marshal Pepke.
