THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS
OF SIOUX CITY, IOWA

While visiting in Sioux City, Ia,
over the week end last week, chanc-
ed to make tour of the police head
quarters. This trip was made partly
through curiosity and partly to COM
pare the building with ours here.
When / and my companion asked if
we might be permitted to go through
the department, the captain gave us
over to the jailer, Mr.. McCloud, whq
was a very friendly and competent
guide. He first showed us the cells
which were very clean and neat look
ing and which were enclosed by q
double set of bars, making it impos-
sible for the inmates to escape. We
next saw the court room, matron's
office, doctors room and finger print
room. While viewing the last named
we watched the expert taking pris-
oner's finger prints. Each finger
print had to be stamped ten times and
it seemed to be a tiresome job both
to the expert and the prisoner. Last
ly, we looked at the ''rogue's gallery"
which, instead of being the large and
heavy book used here is a neatly filed
set of cards which are much easiej
to handle. Throughout the whole
building a sanitary condition was
prevalent, which makes this building
superior to ours.

on which we can secure a place that fur
nishes such recreation and amusements as

 Newman said on the witness stand that Dr. Schott had confessed to him the murder of his office girl in 1919 and Of fellow physician, not identified, at some later date. This admission caused Dr. Schott to threaten him for fear of exposure, he said.

CO0LIDGES' TRAIN
 SPEEDS WESTWARD
Presidents Wife to Stay in Bed
 En Route

On Board President Coolidgc's Special Train En Route to Superior. Wis, June II Pt-Delayed two days in leaving Washington for his vaca- ton. President Coolidge Was pushing steadily westward today on his way to his Wisconsin summer home.
 With him was Mrs. Coolidge, whose sudden indisposition on Mon day caused d last minute postpone- ment Of the trip, Although she rose from her bed in the White House yesterday to undertake the animation of White House physi- clans who declared her sufficiently recovered to be able to stand the long journey without undue danger
 No Ceremony
 The departure of the presidential party from Washington occurred without special ceremony. Mir. Cool idge was reported as having indicat- d that, owing largely to Mrs. Cool idse's condition. he would prefer that the customary farewells from cabinet officers and other officials at the station be dispensed with. Sec rotary Hoover. however, had called at the White House earlier in the day to say goodbye.
 Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge left the White House for the station almost three hours before the scheduled departure Of the train. Mrs. Cool idge was strong enough to walk alone. without even the help of Mir. .Coolidge's arm. and alone she enter ed the car. To onlookers she ap- peared cheerful. smiling to those few who happened to be along their path in the station.
 The special car had been placed in the silence and darkness of re mote siding where it stood quiet. ex- cept for the barking of Rob Roy, the White House dogs allowed in the special car, until it was hitched on to the rest of the train when this pulled out of the station proper. President and Mrs. Coolidge sat in the parlor of their car only a short while and then retired before the train got under way.
 In allowing the journey to start last night, White House physicians had counted on keeping Mrs. Cool idge in bed throughout the trip 10 Superior. Col. James F. Coupal was the medical officer in charge of the
