fAVORS RETIRING
policemen At 65
Pension Board Makes Recon-.
mendadon to Department

A compulsory retirement age OF
IS years. effective April /, 1880, for
officers and members Of the regular
police department, was decided on
at q meeting of the police pension
board yesterday afternoon and will
be discussed at a meeting Of de-
partment members next Tuesday
afternoon. The matter has been un-
der consideration for more than q
year and 1t IL expected that it will
be approved by the board of police
commissioners and sent to the COM
mon council for the necessary
change in ordinance. Whether 1t
would be advisable to put 1t into eff
feet through a charter change or an
ordinance amendment will be dis
cussed with Corporation Counsel J.
H. Kirkham before final action is
taken.
The pension board discussed the
matter from all angles and came to
the decision that 1t would be to the
advantage Of the city and the de-
partment to set an age limit 80 that
the officers and members would be
prepared for retirement. Under the
existing system, they never know at
what time they may be retired. The
proposed arrangement would affect
four members, Chief Hart said today.
That the views OF the members of
the department will be divergent in
some respects when the meeting is
held Tuesday is anticipated, in view
Of informal opinions expressed In
discussions already held.
The board also voted to recon-
mend that action be taken for an
increase in the amount paid by the
city into the pension fund annually,
from $4,000 to $4,000. and ways and
means OF increasing the fund from
other sources we're also discussed. as
was the advisability OF providing for
a widows pension. In some police
departments widows Of deceased
members are said to be allowed to
collect one-half the pension OF the
members provided they do not re-
marry. This matter has also been
discussed locally within tho past
year or so.

COMMISSION NOT
TO BE APPOINTED
Vatican and Italian State Not
to Have Experts

Rome, Jan. 10 R-In order to
continue negotiations and complete
the understanding between the
Catholic church and the Italian state
for solution OF the Roman question,
no commission OF those versed in
Roman law Is expected to be ap-
pointed now.
The clauses in the agreement or
understanding are subjects OF a
mere political or financial character.
Moreover 1t is considered inadvisa BILE
to substitute or add other people to
those who have already worked to-
sether with apparent success.
After q definite conclusion when
treaty or concordat is drawn up
experts in Roman law will be APP
pointed on both sides. They will
meet to coordinate the ecclesiastical
laws with the civil laws of Italy.
Prominent Prelates
Attempts in this direction have al
ready been made by Premier Mus
solfni. About three years ago he ap-
pointed q commission to reform &C.
clesiaStical laws. That body was
formed by three prominent prelates,
Monsignor Talamo. Canon of st.
Peters; Monsisnor Captain. canon Of
st. John Laterna and Monsignor Gis-
terna, canon of st. Mary Major. They
were also inspired in their work to
try to make civil laws harmonize
with canonical law.
The result OF the labors Of the
three prelates was incorporated in
a bill for submission to the Italian
parliament. which certainly would
have approved 1t. When. however.
main lines OF the agreement became
known. the pope wrote a letter to
the main lines Of the agreement be-
created CONSERVATION.
The pope's letter said he would
not recognize any legal measures
even IL favorable to the church be-
cause they were one-sided decisions
since the prelates included in the
commission did not emanate from
the Holy See. He added that no BIZ
lateral decision could be taken-and
the problem must be studied on
larger basis-so long as the situation
created for the papacy in Rome was
that which arose from the fall of
temporal power.
Withdraws Bill
Thereupon Minister Of Justice
Rocco said he would withdraw the
bill he had already prepared "out
Of respect for the high opinion of
an exalted parsonage
Therefore 1t 10 only natural that II
complete accord IL reached between
the church and state, the discussion
which formed the object Of that COM
mission will be resumed by legal ex-
pcrts Of both sides. They would then
be able to examine the situation and
bring about the desired reforms. ex-
amining them on . larger basis as
the pope desired.
