discharged. Theodore Curtis, II years
old. of 1884 Trinidad avenue northeast
had not regained consciousness today,
and physicians hold out little hope for
his recovery.
Due to blood clots the exact location
Of the bullet has not been determined,

His brother, Russell Curtis. 2l years
old, is being held for investigation at

Theodore few minutes before the gun
was discharged.

the platform makers, including Charles
Beecher Warren and others, gave the
impression that the Republicans 1928
document would consist of glittering
generalities on the two great subjects
besetting both major parties-prohibi-
ton and farm relief.
On all issues, but particularly on
agriculture and foreign affairs. the 30
plank platform will Fundamentally In
dorse the Coolidge administration
Through the presence of unofficial OBJ
servers, including william Castle, jr.,
assistant Secretary of State, the Pres
ident kept a firm hand on the men
who are framing the platform on which
his party will stand.
With Skillfully worded plank at
tacking 'nulliflcationists." but not
pledging the party against repeal of
the eighteenth amendment, the Re-
publicans hope to escape q committee
and floor fight on this question. The
plank strikes a golden mean between
Borah's extreme dry demands and the
modification attitude of Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, Columbia University pres
ident, and ex-senator James w. Wads-
worth of New York.
The reference to "nullifcationists"
is an obvious hit at the Democrats
prospective nominee, "Al' Smith. But
there is no assurance that the vets
will not ask for concessions. DIR. Butler
said that il Borah pressed his fight
for commendation of the prohibition
amendment, he would insist upon his
proposal for a clear-cut criticism OF the
prohibition failure.
La Guardia Promises Action.
we may want to present our views
merely for the record" he said.
Butler and Wadsworth may rest con-
tent with the plank IL Borah does, but
Representative LaGuardia, expoSer of
Official corruption in New York, In
diana and Virginia, will not. He in
tends TO demand that the committee
include pledge that, IL enforcement
continues to appear impracticable. the
Government will sponsor modification
Il will make this demand before the
resolutions committee" said LaGuardia,
and, II they permit. on the floor Of
the convention"
The farm relief plank was virtually
framed by Secretary OF Agriculture
Jardire. It demands q Government
appropriation OF enough money to aid
In establishment OF an orderly system
OF marketing co-operatives. 1t will be
presented To revolving farmers as the
McNary- -Haugen bill, with the excep-
ton OF. the equalization fee or any
price fixing proposals.
The foreign affairs plank upholds the
course followed by Coolidge in Latin
America and Mexico-also praiSing the
administration for It's achievements be-
low the Rio Grande. For a while it
appeared there might be demand for
abstention from interference In the in
ternal affairs Of South American coun-
tries, and telephone call from Smoot
brought Castle here after he had held
a conference with the President.
A strong plank regarding political
corruption has been included. ap-
parentiy as concession To Borah.
Smoot pointed out that similar de-
mand had been voiced four years ago.
but IL is probable that the 1928 model
will be more detailed and vigorous.

van. auditor and budget officer, follow
ing receipt of the tentative police de-
partment budget, the last to be filed.
The grand total is expected TO approXi-

The Police Department asked for
$s,337 ,o0l02, an increase of $l95, ,456,
its budget for the coming fiscal year be-
ginning July l. The major portion Of
the increase is wanted for salaries Of

which, divided into three shifts, left an
average of but 179 men on the street at
aiiy one time.

provision for an addition Of 100 men.
THESE men have never been provided
