KANSAS CITY. Mo. Sept. 13.-
Belittled by his critics as a -hicl;
marshal" Maj. John l.. Miles has
mixed a little army discipline AM
country training to give this city
Of 100000 souls a taste of law en-
forcement that Is the talk Of police
stations from coast TO coast.
Before Major Miles took office
as chief he had been sheriff OF
Jackson county and generally had
been recognized as a small town
officer chiefly because his home was
in Independence. Mo-. a commun-
ity Is miles out in the country.
Suggests Forgetting Politics
Miles was named chief last
March when the old police board
went out and Gov. Henry S. Caul-
fled, new governor Of Missouri,
named new commissioners for Kan
sas City. The governor selected
Bert S. Kimbrell and Russell Field
as commissioners and suggested
they forget politics. The selection
Of the commissioners was against
the wishes Of the republican ma
chine Of Kansas City. as was the
subsequent selection Of Miles as
chief.
When Miles took office there
must have been 300 saloons doing
business, for five months after he
had been in command one near
beer distributing company COM
planned it had lost 800 customers
since the new police regime. Ac-
tual police figures show 1876 speak
eaSies closed their doors on orders
Of the new chief. The other l04
are said to have folded up in face
OF strict enforcement Of the
dry law by that unheard OF agency
the police department.
Major Miles came out OF . the
Word war with the reputation 0f
a stern taskmaster. but one who
would hold out to the limit in be-
half Of his men. That attitude Is
summed up by Wallace Cameron.
who was secretary to Miles as
sheriff and now is his chief aide.

MIKES ARMY DISCIPLINE
AND COUNTRY TRAINING
TO CURB LAWLESSNESS

serts Chief Miles, they will do it
and do it right"
Several departmental shake-upS
have convinced the 300 police II
Kansas City that the chief means
business and apparently IS TO re-
tain a free hand in combating
crime.
Crime Disappearing
When Miles took office 1t was
agreed by both political factions IN
the city that law enforcement was
at a low ebb. The baekwash OF
the hectic days Of the republican

had left its mark. The most open
sign Of law violation was the speak
easy, and il was the first to 10. But
with the bar and its spiked beer
have gone gambling houses and all
varieties of vice. Just now the
bookmakers are fighting a losing
battle to keep open in the after
moons What crime has not been
curbed has been driven into the
county and adjoining counties.
One Of Chief Miles first steps
was to meet the challenge OF the
bank bandit. Numerous holdups
had placed the Kansas City burg
larry and holdup insurance at the
top Of the scale. To combat this
menace, Miles installed branch Of
fices throughout the downtown dis
trict where headquarters could dis
patch two patrolmen on a seconds
notice. The result OF this has been

March.

 Starts Beneath Wharf

Originating beneath the Portland Terminal Company's wharf late yes terday. the blaze scorched the Ply mouth and the four -masted schooner Elizabeth Bandi, unloading coal and lumber, respectively. Several of the Plymouth's crew were slightly in iured before leaping into the water to be rescued by other craft. Dam age to the Plymouth was set at S5O,- 900.
 The fire spread to and destroyed several soal pockets of the Boston & Maine Central railroad, consuming 75,000 tons of coal. A sulphur ware house containing 23,000 tons of crude birthstone was next to go, and fumes from the sulphur drove fire men back for time.
 Houses Catch Fire Blazing embers carried by a
 strong wind set fire 10 the roofs of houses more than a quarter mile
 from the decks, causing considerable damage.
 Bremen from cities within q ra-
 dius of 30 miles aided Portland's de- partment in fighting the flames, which for a time threatened railroad freight sheds containing many thou sands of dollars in merchandise.

ClariiiCation Necessary

Washington, Sept. Y P}-At the very beginning of it's long discussion of the controversial sections of the tariff bill, the senate today found itself plunged into the task of clari- flying the sharply different view points of the regular and indcpen- Gent republican groups.
 Although the highly controversial administrative and special sections of the bili were the business before the chamber, tEe opening clash cen- tered on the more general disagree ment over the proposed rate in- crcases for industrial as well as agri- cultural commodities.
 Reed Defends Bill
 Following up that clash, which was led by Borah of Idaho, as spokesman for the independent viewpoint, and Reed of Pennsyl- vania, for the regulars, republican and some democratic senators from the western and northwestern agri- cultural states were preparing, un- der the leadership of McNary of Oregon, to confer with a view to united action. Many of them have expressed dissatisfaction with the proposals relating to lumber, shingles, logs, wool, manganese, fruits and nuts.
 Emphasizing the stand of the sen- ators from the agricultural states, Borah contendet that this bill is rot executed in justice to the agri- cultural interests" and argued that, with industrial profits increasing with exports increasing and imports decreasing, We have on the other hand the constantly falling income and profits of agriculture"
 "Disparity" In Measure
 Although the agricultural spokcs- men got all they asked for in the Fordney McCumber act of 1922, he said, the industrial increases written into that law established "a dispar- ity' in the relative advantages of agriculture and industry which the pending Dill failed to equalize. Fur ther increases in industrial rates, he COntended, were unnecessary
 Reed rctorted that the finance committee, of which he is mcm- Der, had written the bill on the theory that "all Americans were equal, and asserted that, instead ol

The senate finance committee voted to restore many of these articles to the free category and this is be- lieved to be objectionable to the group.
