"Proposition No. >, on the Nov
embcr election ballot is not only
wrong in principal, but, in its pre-
sent form, is so ambiguous in its
wording as to be absolutely unword:
able" said Chief Charles Fergu-
son. one of the founders of the +!
Centre Fire Department and for
nine years chief of the department.
Chief Ferguson, who has been
one of the strongest advocates OF
the originator of the present la"
which requires cities to carry in
surancc to protect policemen, fire
men and others in public service
against financial loss arising from
law suit, made it very plain that
he has always, throughout his en-
tire career in the fire service, done
everything he possibly could for
the bettermcnt of the individual
fireman and for the Improvement
of the service.
Chief Ferguson also stated that
he has consistently favored the
program of the California State
Fireman Association in trying to
better the fire service and that at
one time he made the statement
that he was in favor of the prog
ram which eliminated in PROPOSE
tion No. ., which will be submitted
to the voters on November 4. At
ter reading this proposition, as 1T
appears on the ballot, it is his con
tention that the law, if enacted,
will benefit only few of the larg-
er departments.
Chief Ferguson stated that the
proposition is not welcomed by all
Of the fircmen of the state. that it
is being sponsored by a few mis-
guided and political fircmen from
two or three sections of California.
He said "Most of the men in the
fire service see no benefits aceruing
to them from such law. They be
lieve this law unnecessary and am
biguous and even its advocates ad-
nit that it is faulty He SAYS that
under this law more than so per
cent of any monies appropriated
would go to the city of Los Angel
cs, whore there is arcady an ample
pension fund appropriated.
The remainder of the money will
be divided among four or frve
other cities of the state where pen,
sion funds already exist. This, then
would leave the smaller community
where there is no fund and where
the state money would do the most
good, with no share in it.
Chief Ferguson pointed out that,
in spite of the fact, that Los An
gelcs would receive the most benc.
fit under this law. if passed, Chief
Ralph j. Scott, of the Los Angeles
fire department, has on several occa'
sions stated in the public press that
he is absolutely opposed to this
law as il now stated. In Il recent
article in the Los Angeles ENAm-
incr, Chief Scott states that With
out doubt Los Angeles has one
of the fairest pension systems IN
the United States. 1t is adequate

FORMER FIRE CHIEF DOES NOT
FAVOR PROPOSED LEGISLATION

to meet all requirements of the de
partmcnt. The fircmcn, as whole,
realize this and wish to keep the
system intact rather than see it
become involved in politics through
any acts of righteousness on their
part. IN my opinion, Proposition
No. >, if adopted, would require
the various fire departments of Cal
lfornia to engage constantly in
state politics through the fact that
they would be using state funds
for purely local purposes. This is n
situation that none of the depart
mental heads wish to see develop.
Neither do they find justification
in the proposal to divert state
funds to municipal pensions when
such act could net but increase our
already heavy tax burden.
Chief Scott is Joined in this op-
inion by Chief Coop, of Pasadena,
Chief Brennan ct San Francisco,
Captain +. ". Ireland, president
of the David Scanned Club of the
San Francisco Fire Department,
Chief Dunphy, of sacramento, and
by most other chiefs in the state
1t was also pointed out that the
proposition is opposed by more than
fifty civic bodies including the Cali
fornia Tax Payers Association, the
County Supervisors association Of
California, the Civic League of I'm
provcmcnt clubs and associations,
and by the chambers of commerce
of Los Angeles, San Francisco, San

He WAS irritable at the office,

enemies increased, his friends
became fewer. Then one day
his doctor told him the truth.
He had been handicapped by
constipation for years. 1t had
brought headaches and con-
stantly irritating ills to make
him "touchy." 1t had stolen
his energy and good nature.
His doctor suggested eating
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN regularly.
And in a few days he was a
changed man, CHEEKY, ambi-

Constipation is so unneces-

 The shooting began at once. Bull lets whipped through the tonneau of the car, whizzing past Chapman's. face. He grabbed the blondes gun wrist with one hand and that of one of the men with the other, forcing them up. Lead from their spouting guns riddled the roof of the deputies car.
 A charge of buckshot shattered the kidnaped deputy's wrist Finding himself helpless, he pushed open the door of the car and flung himself to the street. There another bullet wounded him in the shoulder. Mean while, the woman and her companions were getting the better of the fray. Three deputies in the attacking car had fallen wounded. The bandit car If, as police claim, 1t was the bandit car-suddenly swerved over the curb and sped away. Again the quarry had escaped.
 But now the authorities believed they knew where to look for the fu gitivcs. Scores of posses were orga- nizcd and the desert country took on a warlike atmosphere. An arplane was recruited into the hunt. It flew high above the rocky widernesses. carrying police who swept the country below with powerful glasses.
 Across eight States the car, bearing the trigger woman" whose skill with firearms was believed to have been the cause of so much havoc, had scur- red through vigilant patrols-into the Arizona desert lands. Now the search CTS were ranchcrs, indians, veteran rangers of the West, who could handle six-shootcr with deadly precision and who knew every inch of the terrain they were combing.
 It was bad place for any bandit gang to be cornercd
 And the net of discriminating dis coVerles was drawing in from several other angles. A four-year-old boy, little Donnie Schroeder, had been found at the home of his relatives in Bellaire, Ohio. When Corporal Paul had been killed, his brother officer, wounded in the scalp, had revealed hat child was in the car with the yunwoman and her male companions. 'Hlo," Donnie greeted the police who came to question him, "ny mamma shot two cops like you"
 The authorities were sure, they re-

them for a grocery store holdup, that the police themselves were somewhat confused. But the quarry was now almost in sight. A large posse was recruited and the sandy Arizona wastes were combed systematically.
 Then, in front of a gasoline filling station at Florence, Arizona, Deputy Sheriff Joe Chapman saw a car draw up to the curb with blonde woman and two men in it. The two men got out and walked toward the filling sta ton. Chapman approached and en- gagged the woman in conversation. She sounded the horn and the two men came running toward her.
 Before Chapman could turn, one of them pressed revolver against his side. barking, Get into the carl"
 The deputy obeycd, and then began the worst nightmare of his life, he said afterwards. Out of Florence they drove, commanding Chapman to direct them by the nearest route south out of the State. Undoubtedly, he declared, they intended to make for Mexico. The officer saw to it that they drove in circles through the desert, hoping that other searcher5 would find them sooner or later.
 At last they entered the town of Chandler and drove down the main street. In front of the San Marcos Hotel touring car full of deputy sheriffs bore down on the machine containing the kidnapped officer. Chap

A 'PLUMP, matronly woman with A dyed blonde hair and pale, un-
 steady eyes woman who might be any suburban housewife opening the door to the postman of a morning waits behind jail bars in Pennsylvania to face jury on charges of murder, Kidnapping and highway robbery. She is Irene Schroeder, sometimes called the trigger woman," She blazed a trail of crime across the continent, the police contend.
 Hundreds of highway police and local deputies guarded the roads through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona but - the woman and her shadowy- companions somehow got through the patrols. AL though officers were warned to shoot to kill at any of the trio, particular emphasis was laid upon approaching the blonde gunwoman with caution. She was declared to be particularly dangerous.
 Always the police learned of the passage of the speeding bandit car after it had gone. At last, however, definite word reached the authorities of Phoenix, Arizona, that the three so eagerly sought were somewhere in the vicinity, out in the cactus-studded, boulder-strewn desert.
 By this time so many and varied were the crimes directly and indirectly connected with the two men and woman who first lcaped into headlines with the sudden death of Corporal Brady Paul, Pennsylvania State high way patrolman, who tried to arrest

 Hands upr' cried the leader of the deputies. The three, taken by surprise, wilted at last and obeyed. The blonde was clad in dress very much the worse for wear; her stockings were torn to shreds and her hennaed hair had faded to a streaky mouse color.

vealed, that the woman they wanted was Mrs. Irene Schroeder, and that Donnie, her son., had been in the car at the time of the first staying. They believed she had left him with relatives and then proceeded acpss the continent to Arizona with her men accomplices.
 The spying airplane, after cruising about for several days, now spotted an abandoned auto moblle-and then three people, two men and woman, ensconced on a mesa, or flat-topped hill. They had apparently fortified themselves in an advantageous position, prepared to shoot it out

but both were identified III tue fHoe- nix holdover jail as Irene Schroeder and Glenn Dague. Dague, 1t was claimed by police, had run away from a wife and child in, another State.
 All three denied any knowledge of the shooting in Pennsylvania, whither they were soon cxtradited to stand tria:. Charles H. Wright, sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, who took part in the capture, said that the blondes first query was: Flows Don nie," but she later denied this and dis claimed motherhood of the child. When the little boy was put on the phone over long distance to talk to her in Phoenix, the accused gunwoman re- fused to respond and murnured: Why don't you find his real mother"
 All those who questioned the trio ir. the Phoenix jail were struck by their hard boiled" stubbornness when it came to answering queries. They re- fused to talk for several days. Daguc did break down to some extent before leaving Phoenix, according to his jail ors, and told a long, rambling story about the Pennsylvania shooting. He and Irene were identified by many people, including Patrolman Ernest Moore, who was with Corporal Paul when the latter was killed.
 Pennsylvania justice will mete out fate very soon to Irene Schroeder and the two men captured with her. It has not yet been established just what connection Wells, the third suspect, has with the murder of the policeman, if any. He says he joined Irene and Glenn Dague in Texas.
 No one would ever take Irene Shredder, as she sat placidly in her cell, reading, praying or playing vic rola records, for a desperate gun woman. She never once flinched or wsvered in her contention that she did rot shoot Brady Paul.
 One policeman claimed she said to him: I'm an animal, just an animal, with self-preservation the first in- stinct." But, despite her stecly exterior, t is believed that her love for Donni. led her to the first exclamation which proved her identity; "Donnie-what's happened to my boy"
 She takes 8 fatalistic view of the whole situation, ''lll die when my time comes, whether I talk or not" she repeats. I'm ready for anything, even death.'
 Officers and iailers were astounded to find her repudiating her child, which they were convinced was indeed her own, during the tense moments of her first grilling. She stuck to Glenn Dague, urging that little special stten- tions be shownehim. insisting that he be allowed to shave and tidy him. self up.
 But nowadays Irene is beginning to manifest some of the mother-love which at first she seemed utterly to lack. Whenever Donnie's name is mentioned her eyes flash and her lip quivers. She may be the demoniacal Trigger Woman" she has good many human traits, after all.
