PROBE
URGED BY Cannon
House Member on D. c,
Budget Group Says Offend
ers Must Be Punished.

Thorough investigation of charges of
brutality against certain members of
the Metropolitan police force is urged
by Representative Clarence Cannon,
Democrat, of Missouri, a member OF
the House subcommittee on the District
appropriation bill, not only that such
offenders may be properly punished,
but to show the world that Washing
ton has an excellent police force which
should not be condemned as g whole
for the acts Of a few.
Model System Desired.
1.-THE subcommittee on appropriations
in charge of the District bill, of which
I am member" said Representative
Cannon, "in every way tried to pro-
vide for an ideal police department.
There were two main detectives to
which we gave special attention-D
TO provide under continuing program
for an excellent school system worthy
OF the Nations Capital, and ~ to de-
velop police department that would
be model for other cities. 1t seemed
70 us that Washington ought to have
a model police system, one that we
could point to with pride and as an
example to our home communities.
The National Capital merits and Should
have specially efficient and exemplary
police service.
Therefore, the appropriations SUBJ
committe tried to be particularly gen
erous in making appropriations for
mat department and to provide for the
peSt possible service by a model force
OF high character and morale. I be-
Neve that we have here in Washington
a police department of which-as a
Whoie-We can be proud.
My personal experience with the de-
partment and on the subcommittee on
appropriations, Is that the Police De-
partment is commendable # there
has been brutality and third degree
methods, as charged. the offense is per-
sonal and not the fault Of the depart
ment as whole, and they are spas
moolc and not chronic. While would
most Strenuously insist on a thorough
investigation such as is about to be
undertaken by the Department of Jus
tlce. believe that the public should
withhold condemnation Of the depart
menC as whole or of officers until alb
soiute proof OF the charges has been
established.
Recalls Probe In 1910.
There Is oftentimes, too often, a ten
oency 10 make heroes out Of hoodlums
ana there is always an clement in our
human society who are quite willing to
dlsparage any constituted authority and
thereby seek to weaken it." Represent
tatlve Cannon recalled the police inves-
t,gation in 1910, with Senator Bran
degee as chairman, on motion of Sena-
tor Hepburn, when the Senate Commit
tee made an intensive study of alleged
tnlrd degree methods. He declared
that the official report of that investi-
cation found the Police Department of
the National Capital deserving of high
commentator rather than censure
Representative Cannon emphasized
that those accused, suspected, or con-
victed OF crime, who claim to have
been abused, bullied or beaten by the
police, have adequate protection under
the Constitution.
Regarding the present charges,
Representative Cannon says: IF these
charges are true, every one found guilty
or responsible, should be severely
punished"

to be held this month in California,
according TO declarations made here
today.
A statement issued this morning by
one of the Washington War Mothers
that Mrs. Morrison had been "deposed"
by action Of the National Board was
met by an emphatic denial by Mrs
Morrison and a statement that she was
and will continue to be head of the
local chapter through the remainder of
her term.
Mrs. Lucy B. Cash Of 1885 Sixteenth
street, who has been serving as first
vice president of the District War
Mothers, was announced by one CT Mrs.
dent, declaring that she had been e!e-
waited to the post by action Of the nas
tional president.
To Garry Fight Higher.
Despite action that may be taken al
the local meeting of the War Mothers,
which Mrs. Morrison said would be
held week from Friday evening at
the Hamilton Hotel. the fight Is TO be
taken to the national convention late
this month at Long Beach, Calf, ac-
cording to assertions made today by
both sides Of the issue.
The name of the national president
OF the American War Mothers, Mrs
Virgil Mcclure of Lexington, KY, was
brought into the statements and coun-
ter statements by the two sides Of the
dispute.
From Mrs. M. C. o'Neill Of Washing
ton, the national custodian, came the
statement that the national president
and her board had declared the presi-
dency Of Mrs. Morrison vacated and
Mrs. Cash elevated to fill the position.
Charges Action Illegal.
Mrs. Morrison countered with the
charge that while the national presi-
illegal and void. Mrs. Cash was re-
ported to be out of town today and
could not be reached for a statement
Of her position in the matter.
Both Mrs. Morrison and her oppo-
sition deplored the fact that such q
patriotic organization, made up Of
mothers OF war veterans, should have
been drawn into factional strife, but
! emphasized that the fight would be
carried to a finish.
Further complicating the situation
was the statement by Mrs. Morrison
that national charter had been grant,
ed to another District Chapter Of
War Mothers, but that she had papers
| to show that it was illegally signed and
therefore void.
Mrs. Morrison said she was informed
that Mrs May Alexander was listed as
the president of this second District
Chapter"
| Mrs. Morrison blamed the movement
made to GUST her to group Of several
members here who had lost their pow
er" in the organization and therefore
wished to remove her.

ROOSEVELT MOVES
TO COMBAT CRIME
Urges Legislature to Strengthen
Laws to Meet Gangland
Challenge.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, September L.
Gov. Roosevelt today sent to the Legisla-
ture special message urging immediate
enactment of legislation designed to
combat crime. He proposed that the
States anti-pistol law be strengthened,
that private possession of machine guns
be prohibited and that the disorderly
conduct section Of the penal law be
strengthened to allow communities to
rid themselves Of criminals.
The governor in his message de-
clared that "lawlessness which expresses
itself in terms of gang warfare, hold
ups and reckless shooting must be
warred upon by organized society"
In normal times" he said, normal
statutes and vigilant police force are
able to meet normal outlawry. These
are not normal times. Extraordinary
measures today are imperative to up
hold the hands of the police. Gang
dom has challenged the strength of the
law. The challenge we must meet"

Tourist Traffic
In State Shows
Percent Cain

PHOENIX, Ariz., Apr. 28 (U.Po
Tourist traffic in Arizona increased
three per cent during the first
three months of 1881, John H. o.
Dell, chief plant quarantine officer
of the state agriculture and horti-
culture commission declared.
The check was made at quaran-
tine stations on highways leading
into the state. The gain was due
to increased travel from Califor-
MIA. The three stations on the
west border, Yuma, Salome and
Kingman, showed increases, while
the eastern border stations re-
manned approximately the same.
There were 54,158 cars checked
into the state during January,
February and March of last year
and 55,565 for 1881, gain of 1,4O7
machines.
Officials accounted for the traf-
fic from the west by the fact that
many tourists enter California
from Utah and Neveda route and
return by the way of Arizona.
