KANSAS CITYS
POLICE BROKE
CRIME GROWING
Undermanned Force Goes
'PayIeSS' as Reduced
Budget Is Spent.

b. Uaifed Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 16.
Like a harassed mother at
tempting to clothe a child with
last years understood garments,
Kansas City police authorities are
attempting to curb crime in this
growing middle western town with
q department admittedly under
manned and poorly equipped.
And to make matters worse, The
police budget for the last two
years had been slashed severely
by the city council despite advice
Of policy experts.
The city council late in April
agreed upon budget of $1,250,000
for police operations during the
current fiscal year. The state
board of police commissioners had
asked for $1.479,000 which they
said the department needed.
The commissioners said they
would operate the department upon
original plans Notwithstanding that
their budget had been reduced al
most S25O,000.
The years program includes ma
jority of suggestions made by
August Vollmer, Berkeley (Cal) po-
lice expert who studied the de-
partment last year.
Refused to Issue Checks
When police department expendi-
lures reached this total in March
this year, City Manager H. F. Nc
Elroy refused to issue the March
Is checks. The $50 officers went
unpaid during the remainder Of
March and April. No provisions
were made for paying them back
wages in the 1930-31 budget.
In n1id-April, John L. Miles,
World war hero and major in the
reserve corp, resigned as chief Of
police and later member of the
police board resigned. Both sad
the council and the city manager
had played politics" and had him
dered its administrations.
Citizens Group Formed
Replacing Miles is Lewis M. Sieg-
fried former police captain. Seig-
fried assured police officers that no
outside pressure would be brought
upon members of the department"

 Question of Long Standing The pressing matter of providing | increased school accommodations in Berlin has stirred the town for more than a year, and various solutions have been proposed and rejected at one time or another. The defeat oe one plan last summer brought the resignation of several members of the school board.
 The present proposal is sponsored by the school and finance boards
 and was preached at the town meeI-
 ing on Friday night, when 800 per- sons damned the town hall. There was no discussion on the plan, how
 ever, the first action being to place
 the question before the voters at tue
 polls today. There has been bitter
 opposition in some quarters, and the proponents and foes of the plans have indulged in series of attacks and counter attacks upon each other.

Lack of air annoyed him, he said, and at times he feared he could not stand the confinement. An intoxicated woman in the next cell did not add to his peace Of mind, especially after hay ing spent Sunday night near noisy and intoxicated prisoners.

Mrs. Schmalz seemed to have for gotten everything but the presence Of her husband and she rushed to him and cried as she assured him of her determination to stand by him through thick and thin. Tears came to his eyes as he accepted the em- brace and reciprocated the affection she showerod on him. His aged wid- owed mother was not present, nor were his two children.
 Attorney McDonough announced today that the defense will elect q trial by jury if the state presents Schmalz in superior court on the charge of murder in the first de- gree. "Schmalz today is q physical wreck" his attorney said. He can not sleep or eat and he is very ncr- yous. He realizes fully the serious ness of the situation in which he has plunged himself"

an agricultural quarantine has been

 Dr W. F.. Britton Of the Connecti- cut Agricultural Experiment station
 here announced today that the corn borer quarantine had been raised, under certain restrictions, in Glas- tonbury, where farmers had protest ed the state and federal edict. Although there is no corn borer infection in the town of Glastonb bury, ! that territory had been quarantned because infection existed on three sides.
 Under the new restrictions, corn growers may ship to Hartford mar kets after their product has been in spected by a federal agent. The corn must be shipped in bags carrying the farmers name and address and with
 a tag inscribed, flor sale in Hartford only"

 Senator Dill, democrat, Washing ton, asked Bonner if he could give any official act' in which Russell failed to serve the public. The Wit ness presented several letters which condemned Russell personally.
 The false affidavit" Bonner re- ferred to was one made by Russell when he left the interstate con- merce committee, where he was an attorney.
 The affidavit said that Russell was "separating himself from the civil service" Bonner testified, add ing that he did this in order to re- ceivc the S7O0 from the govern ment's retirement fund.

 A museum official secuted the suggestion that there was any, thing sinister in Steele's death. He remarked that thousands of people had been indirectly con- nected with the Tut-Ankh- Amen relics and that there was no rec ord of any overwhelming out break Of mortality,
 i've had handled Egyptian relics myself many times for years and I'm still as we'll as ever" he said.

TRACTORS NEEDED
 AS BERLIN VOTES
(Continued From First Page)

300 mark and prospects for a great rush of voters after the factory hours appeared bright. According to Moderator Lester Deming of the Berlin district, the vote in the first few hours this morning eclipsed the early voting at the annual elections to an appreciable extent.
 The ballots will be counted this evening after o'clock when all of the results are in. The various moderators, Philip Pagan in Ken sington, Royal Morse in East Der lin, and Lester Deming in Berlin, are in a quandary as to the best method of totalling them. Due to questions on the ballots the matter is rather complicated and the meth cd of counting votes must be de- cided upon by each moderator for his own district.
 Town Meeting This Evening
 Following the counting of the ballots the results will be announced at a general town meeting this eve ming in the Berlin town hall. The meeting will be held shortly after the polls close at o'clock. The remaining questions listed in the call for the town meeting last Fri day night will be acted upon pro- viding the results of the balloting today are favora ble.
 Specifically. the five questions on which the voters are balloting are the purchase of what Is known as the Emerson site" the appropriation of s7,500 for that purpose, the appro- priation of S97,S5O for the erection
