stable barricaded himself in his home
and with two Shotguns and a revolver
poured down fire from upper windows
and the roof upon the attacking party
of police.
Williams continued the battle for an
hour and a half, when he was shot
through the chest by Albert Shane, a
Cincinnati motor cycle patrolman. Be-
fore the constable was captured, how

Says:

CHICAGO, Ill.-Got a lovely in
vitation from Mr.. Henry Ford to
come to Dearborn today and hear
Mr.. Hoover tell Mr. Edison what the
electric light had meant to him be-
fore becoming a Republican. Was
headed over there and ran into a
thick fog and had to come back
here
Old Chicago might be wicked, but
that lighted field looked mighty good
at night, and sure want to thank
Mr.. Edison personally today for in

scheme, the authors Of this report
TT is difficult to find any justification
for the present arrangement under
which a Federal officer is given charge
of, and indeed is made the chlei
prosecuting officer for, the conduct OF
prosecutions of offenses which in other
Jurisdictions are handled by State or
local officers" the report emphasizes.
ut is inequitable that the expense Of
this work should be made a charge
upon the National Treasury and that
the work of the Federal Department OF
Justice should be added to and COM
plicated in this way" the report
argues. ut, Furthermore, does violence
to the principle that local govern
ment should be held responsible for the
conduct of all affairs pertaining to local
as distinguished from national matters.
From the standpoint OF both the
national and the local government, 1t is
believed that this condition of affairs
should be changed and that response
bility for the enforcement of other than
purely Federal law be vested in the
District government, where 1t properly
belongs, whether or not department
of law enforcement is created as recon-
mended''
Probably of still greater Importance.
the report says, is the necessity for
making the police force subordinate
agent of the bureau of criminal affairs
under the direction of a prosecuting
/ attorney. 1T Is recognized that this
proposal represents a radical departure
from the system of criminal admins
tration as it exists in most jurisdic-
tions," the report points out.
After explaining in detail the exist
ing conditions the report says that ''ii
| the police work and the ccurt prosecu-
ton there can be no evasion of reSpon-
sibility'
The authors of the report and rec
concentrations stress the fact that these
several recommendations for the organ
ization of a department of law enforce
ment are independent of one another
| to a certain extent.
THE transfer of the prosecutions
should be made regardless of whether
the police are placed under the de-
partment of law enforcement" 1t states
In that event both would be under the
common control of the District gov.
eminent, but not under the same i'm
mediate control. On the other hand
| the police cannot be transferred to thu
department of law enforcement If tina
! department is not given charge OF al
prosecutions.
such a change would not be of ma
terial benefit as under the present divi'
sion of prosecutions the more seriou!

department Of law enforcement unless
all prosecutions are placed in that de-
partment. Under the present division
Of prosecutions the logical place for
the coroner or medical officer is in the
Office of the United States district at
torney. If the status quo is maintained
as regards the division of prosecutions,
the police and the coroner. then the
department of law enforcement would
become the department OF law and
would have essentially the same duties
as the present Office Of the corporation
counsel If the police are not placed
under the department of law enforce
ment they should be placed in the
department of public health and
safety"

 UNUSUAL THEME
Columbia Releases Film About Neg

Stories of the supreme sacrificing tendency oi mother lcve have long been the theme for motion pictures and fiction writers. Similar stories of paterna' devotion have somehow been neglected We often become little conscience stricken when We think of the inglorious reputation surrounding cur male parent--a provider that and nothing more Rarely do we hear of him as a glorihed person in the sense that he is confronted with a spiritual struggle which will allow him Co make a martyr of himself for the sake of his child.
 Columbia Pictures has taken this unusual theme fer Father and Son, " a production synchr0nized with dia- iogue and music, which is coming t0 the Bradley Theatre on Sunday and Monday with Jack Holt, Dorothy Re vier and Mickey McBan.

Roy Whitcraft was manager of
the Evansville team for the season
of 1927 and promptly sent Klein
back home after a week or two of
the campaign.
"Whitcraft's assortment of ball
players were showing rare skill in
losing a game or two each day. But
he was afraid to experiment with
Klein.
"Then-when the Evansville club
was firmly intrenched in the Three
I league cellar, Klein was recalled in
August and played about IA games
before fracturing his angle sliding
into first.
1.-THE Fans Association which
owned the club that season lost
about 10000 smackers. The associ-
alton sold out to Bob Coleman, who
was backed by Detroit. Coleman
bought the franchise but not the
players. which were left with the old
association. Beard, association pres
ident, sold them for whatever he
could get, and if he couldn't get
anything he gave them away.
"Klein was one of the boys he
almost gave away. Fort Wayne of
the Central league wanted Lee
Walsh, big Evansville first sacker.
Beard was willing to take $500 for
Walsh provided Fort Wayne would
give 5000 for Klein. Fort Wayne
made the deal"

NEW YORK, July 6.-Charles
(Chuck) Klein. youthful home run
sensation Of the National league,
was considered such a palooka in
1927 by a minor league club head
that he was sold for 5000.
At current prices the hard-hit-
ting Mr.. Klein is worth any figure
as long as you keep it above $780,
900. His terrific clouting has SO
bolstered the Phillies that they no
longer are anybody's dish OF spin
ach on the ball field.
The amazing deal by which a ball
club parted with Klein's services
for a sum which wouldn't pay for
a second hand flivver is described
by Dan Scism, sports editor of the
Evansville, Ind, Courier, in a letter.
Scism writes:
"Adolph Stallman, a school pro-
baton officer, discovered Klein.
Stallman, having onc played minor
league ball himself, knows a few
things about the game. and when
he spotted Klein playing with an
Indianapolis semi-pro outfit he gal
Hoped to G. A. Beard, president Of
the Evansville club, with the news
that he had discovered a red-hot
prospect, a kid who could hit a ball
from one county to another.
1T took Stallman half the win
ter of 1926-1927 to persuade Beard
that Klein was a ball player. FL
nally Beard sent Chuck a contract.
