Mayor Weld Calls Meeting to Dis cuss Adop! lg Taxi" System
 For City Owned Cars

Chairmen Of all city departments controlling automobiles will be ask ed to meet at the office of Mayor Weld next week to discuss with members of the municipal garage commission the proposed taxi" system.
 The garage board in the meantime is making a study of the system as it is employed in other cities and will probably recommend that taxi" plan be tried out here under which a few departments will temporarily surrender control of their machines and an effort made to serve more departments with few CT cars over a period of few weeks. The commission will not favor establishing this system unless assured by department heads of their cooperation. Chairman Brain ard W. Brown being of the opinion that refusal of departments to CO., operate will make the plan less ef- 1lcient and more costly than the present scheme. This belief is shared by other members of the board also.

BORDINARO HELD
 ON TECHN|CALITY
Case May Not Be PresSed- Attorney Protests Bond Size

Probale disposition of the case of Antonio Bordinaro of Buffalo. N. Y, who Is alleged to have brought Mrs. Paul Barbuski of that city to this city several days ago, was uncertain today, although it was reported that prosecution may not be pushed.
 The woman's husband came here Saturday and complained that Bordinaro was with his vile at 176 Washington street. A visit to the home was unsuccessful, but Bordi- naro learned of it and is said to have sent the woman home at once. Detective Sergeant Ellinger arrested Bordinaro late Saturday night on the technical charge of breach of the peace and this morning in police court Judge filling ordered him held in s5000 bonds until tomorrow morning.
 Attorney Thomas F. McDonough represented him and protested against the size of the bond, say ing s1,000 was sufficient. Prosecut- ing Attorney Woods said the fed eral courts may want the case heard on the charge of violation of the Mann act, but Attorney Nc Donough said this Is improbable as Bordinaro Is not connected with white slave gang, and he question ed the ability of the state to prove such a charge. Judge Alling inter rupted to remark that he was not hearing the case at this time, and he granted MT. Woods recommen- dalton.
 Attorney McDonough said 1t is the practice in the police depart ment to hold prisoners for several days under heavy bonds which cannot be raised. and then the cases peter out.
 It was problematical this after noon whether the woman would be brought here to be charged, inas- much as her husband told the po- lice yesterday he was satisfied to have her return to him.
 Says Police Beat Him
 Finding Antonio Bordinaro hold ing onto his side and apparently in great pain, in a cell at the police station this afternoon, Attorney Nc Donough was told that four police men had put him through the third degree" and had beaten him severely. Attorney McDonough start ed an investigation at once and summoned Dr. A. J. Savard to ex- anime Bordinaro. Up to 5 o'clock this afternoon. Dr. Savard had not reported to the attorney.
 Policeman Thomas J. Feeney, who was present when Bordinaro told the attorney part of his story, was identified as one of the quartet. The officer, however, said Bordinaro attempted to strike him, according to Attorney McDonough, and he de- tended himself by pushing Bordinaro into a chair. The officer denied that he had otherwise struck the man.
 Attorney McDonough said this afternoon that he felt it proper to investigate Bordinaro's charges.

LAW ENFORCEMENT, GOVERNORS DUTY

tectives have been performed under different methods of appointment to express an intelligent opiniun con- corning them" he answered.
 The last question was do you favor the repeal of the laws passed by the legislature of 1925 (chapter 194) requiring the court to excuse jurors who have served within five years?"
 The Professional Juror
 His answer was: There had been a tendency to summon the same persons over and over to sit on juries until they practically became professional jurors. This was in complete opposition to the whole theory of jury service and jury func- tion, which the founders of the state sought to carry out into prac- tice. The jurymen, as the found- CTS conceived the system, were to be chosen at random from among the freemen, so that common sense and public opinion could be used to modify cold legal formality and rigidity. The professional juror would quickly become part of a rigid judgical system. I have not tried case in court for some years and so have no knowledge of how the statute has operated in fact, but it appears on it's face to conform to American tradition"
 Morris Statement
 MT. Morris prefaced his answers with the following statement.
 T made a detailed study of law enforcement a few years after l left the law school. Some of the results of that study were printed in the Yale Law Journal of June, 1904. Ever since that time have followed with interest, but not in so great de- tail. the development of our statu- tory laws and their enforcement or non-enforcement.
 If I understood your questions, they refer chiefly to the enforce ment of a specific statute which is at present being very indifferently enforced. To my mind the condi- tion is general, not specific; the problem is widespread and multiple, not restricted nor single; the remedy must be based on intelligent and comprehensive study of facts and of those economic laws which govern the operation of statute laws, rather than on emotion, or desire, or tradi- tion. Economic laws are natural laws and therefore Gods laws. As such they overrule the best of human intentions when these are embodied in statute laws which dis regard economic laws"
 Bingham, Trumbull Reply.
 Senator Bingham, in reply to the questions sent him, said that 1t is not my practice to make pledges or promises as to how I shall vote on any given issue" but pointed out that he has frequently given expres- sion to the fundamental principles in which I believe and which guide me in coming to ultimate decisions. Furthermore, I have never lodged a vote and I always try to get all the information I can and to listen to both sides of question and shall continue to do so. I am also in en- tire agreement with the republican state platforms adopted in 1924 and 1926"
 Governor Trumbull replied, "I wish to assure you that I stand solid ly for law and enforcement" The questions asked Governor Trumbull

Smith, states attorney of Lake county, would be named in Frank L. smiths place and would have the backing of such men as Julius Rosenwald, million aire Chicago merchant, Harold L. Ickes and others.
 T told O'Brien that we were for Colonel Frank L. Snith," Dr. Saf- ford said, T added that as far as running an independent candidate, the Anti-Saloon League could not join.
 "O'Brien said influences at Wash ington were at work to remove Colonel Frank L. Smith"
 What were these infuences?" asked Senator Reed, democrat, Mis- souri, chairman of the committee.
 Some sort of appointment to be rendered by the Coolidge admins tration," Stafford replied. He said Julius Roscnwald had just gotten back from Washington"
 Telling of a second visit of O'Brien at which F. Scott Mcbride, general superintendent of the Anti Saloon league, was present, Dr. Saf- ford said the Methodist minister stated that it was proposed to place Hugh S Magill of Springfield, H., in the field as an independent can- didatc and seek Anti Saloon support for him.
 He said it was proposed to spend from $300,00 to S400, 900 for Magill." Stafford said. 'Dr. McBridge told him he could not raise any such sum-"
 With that O'Brien banged the table with his first and said i've have got the money and we propose to spend it." I said to him You are not a bit better than the fellow you are criticizing."
 Dr. Safford said he pointed out that no such sum could be spent legally.
 He replied that there were some holes Gin the law) through which we can get" Stafford went on. T said MT. O'Brien, you are unworthy to support Magill'
 "Dr. Mcbride said You know you cannot elect your man and MT. O'Brien replied: Well, at least we can elect Brennan"
 Dr. Stafford referred to large ex- penditures by candidates in the Illinois primary.
 You will swallow dry even though he raised a sum of money so large that when it was proposed to raise a similar sum for another candidate you condemned the man who proposed it?" Senator Reed ob- served.
 Dr. Stafford said the Anti Saloon league considered the wet and dry issue the paramount one in the campaign and that as between George E. Brennan, the wet demo- cratic senatorial candidate, and Frank L. Smith, it had to support Smith.
