New Commission Will Ask Corpora ton Counsel For Opinion On Le- gality of Claim Against Brick Company-Haye Hearing Set For June :.

A showdown in the situation in the city electrical department. of which George Cooley is superintend- ent, will result it is believed, through the action of the board of police commissioners last night in voting to write to the board of fire con- missioners relative to releasing either the superintendent or his as sistant, Leon Toczko. for a sufficient period to install 12 lights in the new red-light signal system in the police department. and also to have an ar rangement by which the services of the electrical department officials may be available to the police de- partment when needed.
 Chief W. C. Hart told the board that the electrical department is un- der the board Of fire commissioners, although the superintendent and his assistant also have charge of the po- lice department electrical system, and Mir. Cooley does not cooperate as he should when the police depart ment needs him.
 The condition has long been known 10 police and fire department authorities, it is said. and was the reason behind the recommendation Of rhe former board Of police com- missioners that the position of cleo trical superintendent in the depart mont be created. at the time tho budget for the present fiscal year vas being made up.

Chicago, May 22 GP - Chicago criminals have been paroled, par doned and discharged from Joliet penitentiary faster than the courts could send them there, the special grand jury in session here has been told.
 The statement was made by Henry Barrett Chamberlain, operating di- rector Of the Chicago crime commits sion. Easing his testimony on sta tistics he compiled, Chamberlin yes terday told the jury that in 1923. there were 442 Cook county fclons released from the peniteutiary by pardon, parole or discharge while 397 conyicts were sentenced to prison.
 More than S2 per cent of those released from Joliet were pardoncd or paroled, Chamberlin claimed. About IS per cent served the sen tences imposed by Chicago courts and juries.

 An unexpected development came in the Will county inquiry ycster- day when sthe jurors voted to sum mon Governor Len Small in their eff fort to thoroughly sift the numer- ous charges, denials and reports re- suting from the Investigation. The governor will appear next Tuesday, when the jury reconyenes. He eX- pressed his desire 10 aid the inquiry iu every possible way.

ONE WHALE

OH NO! TWO
Bertha and Bride Capture
Hearts of Summer
Colony.
BIZ United Press

Bu United Press
ASBURY PARK, N. j., July g.
Bertha, the gentleman whale, has
captured the hearts of Asbury Park.
Bertha, whose marriage to Poca-
hontas, the lovely sub-deb, caused a
sensation in gulf whale circles this
spring, is here on his honeymoon.
The newlyweds came north with
some twenty or thirty other mem
bers of the younger whale set for
vacation off the Jersey coast. Most
Of the others have left this vicinity,
due to the unreasonable attitude of
fishermen whose nets were acciden-
tally broken during a hotly-contested
game of deep sea tennis, but Bertha
and Pocahontas remain. They have
been virtually adopted by the sum
mer colony here and are great ia
vorites.
Bertha Struts Stuff
Bertha, who is really a handsome
young whale, with a distinctive
brownish-white streak down his sa,
BILE back, first attracted attention by
strutting his stuff so realistically
that all the other black whales
turned green with envy. He was
named off-hand on his first appear
ance by some one who lacked a
close acquaintance with whales. /
: Later, cetacean experts reported
that Bertha was not that kind of
whale, but the name stuck. Poca-
hontas was so-called because she's
so wild.
In Whalish Glee
They have been putting on a regu-
lar two-whale circus. Bertha is ex-
tremely agile and~occasionally vocal.
AS he turns graceful somersaults in
the water he shouts in whalish glee
with not-unmusical grunt. He. can
turn three f1ops and spank the wa
ter thrice with his tail while other
whales are doing it once.
The fishermen may object to
whales, but any one who treats Ber-
tina and Pocahontas harshly
