Demand Of Cops or Shifts Brings
 Shadow Of Threat
MEL cans Orders to Garry On' Not Pleasing to Patrolmen Many Seek Change and Adopt Policy of Every Man for EimseIf' -Rumbles of Discomfort Bring Counter Move

The "big parade" featured by a silent offensive is on in full force.
 Apparently not pleased with the orders to ''carry on" as given last week at police headquarters score or more policemen are clamoring for change. Members of the board of police co commissioners, prominent city officials and of course, Superintendent Joseph H. Mclean are being deluged with protests over the long term of serv- ice given to certain squads that were led to believe were operating on a quarterly shift plan.
 Some of the coppers want to forsake the time honored habit of bounding tile pavements and want to be given special work. They are not the least backward about asking for favors either. Some want to do plain clothes duty or detective work; some have a fancy for the emergency squad; a few are sick of the motor patrol and want to be returned to their former pla-

toons; not few would like a chance to do traffic duty. which means only six days week and every night off and probably nearly three-quarters of the entire depart ment want change of hours. They have been promised it for more than year and now they are out to have the pledge fulfilled.
 Attorney Harry w. Minor, chair man of the board of police com- missioners. admits that a few changes might be made. Superin- tendent Mclean says everything is to proceed as is for awhile. But more committal are some of the boys. They claim that they have been assured of a change and are not bashful about admitting that they are pulling every wire pos sible to get what they want.
 It is almost two years ago that the present board of police com missioners broke up the former vice squad and organized the pres

 From q very reliable source the Democrat has learned that some changes are coming and they will not be of routine nature, either
 The quarterly changes were sup posed to have been made October 1st. A months postponement was ordered. On November 1st 1t was again announced that there would be no change and that everything would go on until the first of the new year. This became the sig nal for every man for himself and the drive is on. notwithstanding the assertions of some of the of- ficials.
 Instead of changes some of the wise ones predict a shakeup and therein lies the basis of all specu- lations. Who will be the favorites and who will be nominated for the ."Order of Goats?"

Picture, Gift Of Coach Who
Died in Flaming Plane

The death of Knute Rockne
has caused poignant grief to a
1O-year-old youngster who despite
his crippled condition had been
looking forward to the day when
his legs will be strong and he
will be able to play football under
the great coach.
Jerry Collins, 1885 Eighteenth
st. N. W., was honored, when two
months ago Rockne passed
through the city and told him to
hurry up and get well, keep up
in his studies so that some day
he might enter Notre Dame and
become a real football star.
Later, the boy received an auto
graphed photo from ROckne and
the promise of a letter in the
near future.
Now that letter will never be
mailed, but Jerry still has the
photograph that is more precious
to him than any other possession.
When the boy heard Of the
death of his hero. yesterday, he
Immediately sat down and with
the aid of his mother penned
message of coincidence to the
widow of the coach.
Jerry said last night that he
intends to work harder than ever,
with the picture of Rockne be-
fore him and in spite of his
present condition intends to make
good physically as we'll as
mentally.
Incidentally, he is an honor
pupil at the Weighman School
for crippled children and has
