MAYOR KERN will be told of
WI the method of appointments
and promotions used by the Mil
waukee police.
All preliminary appointments
are made by bipartisan Board
of Fire and Police Commissioners,
after which the appointees must
pass rigid physical, written and
oral examinations before they can
be admitted into six-months
police training school.
When they have completed this
course of instruction. the rockies
are sent out with older policemen
until they become thoroughly
familiar with the routine of police
life. Examinations also are given
which must be passed before any
patrolman is eligible for promo
ton and these promotions, as well
as demotions, can be made only by
the board and the chief.

Slug Clerk With Rifle Butt,
Escape With Unde-
termined Loot.

With an abandoned "airflow" au-
tomobile as their only clew, police
today we're searching for three
drunken hoodlums and their chauf-
feur who last night looted two cash
registers and a safe at the Ivan
Chaplin Pharmacy, 80 E. 34th-st, of
several hundred dollars.
One of the thugs sadistically beat
a drug clerk on the head with the
butt end of rifle. The trio was
masked. The fourth gang member
waited outside the store at the
wheel of an "airf1ow" car.
The. bandits entered the store,
me .lacing Frank Gates, 26, of 2017
Central-av and Robert Harrison,
II, of BITS Graceland-av, clerks. Mr..
Gates, who was forced to open a
safe, said he could smell liquor on
their breaths.
Mr.. Gates and Mr.. Harrison we're
commanded to lie on the floor. The
hoodlums maliciously beat Mr.
Gates on the head with the rife as
he lay on the floor, he told police.
Mr.. Chaplin this morning refused
to make public the amount OF
money taken by the bandits.

GOLD LAW MAY

w ASKING TON. Jan. IL
Supreme Court Justices pounded
Government counsel in the mo-
mentous gold cases with renewed
questions today regarding power Of
the Government to abbrogate its
promise to pay bondholders in
money of the value that existed be-
fore devaluation of the gold dollar
The Government appeared so
concerned over the persistent ques-
tioning of its position that Atty.
Gen. Homer S. Cummings unex-
pectedly returned to the court and
made a last-minute effort to bolster
arguments supporting abrogation
of gold clauses in more than $780,
100000 of obligations.
Government counsel had been
confident at the outset of the hear
ing Tuesday that the court unques-
tionably would sustain Congress
action. But under day after day of
questioning in the somber Supreme
Court chamber in the Capitol, they
were so worried that Mr.. Cummings
rushed into the breach to make the
closing summation.

Real Police Efficiency Begins Where Politics Ends

that he was proud Of the record
of the Milwaukee police, but he
declared that a law providing for
the ablishment of the merit
system was not enough to assure
an honest and efficient police de-
partment.
while the merit system is the
jor part of an efficient police
department, Mayor Hoan said,
1T must be remembered that cor
rupt department officials or cor
rupt city administration can ruin
any police force and destroy the
good in any law.
IF politics are allowed 20 creep
in, the men on the force nay feel
that they are being Disseminated

spect for the police and the police
will lose the good will Of the pub
lie which is so necessary for the

ment.'

PROMISED TO
SPARE KILLER
Murray Offered to Save
DiIIinger From Chair,
Piquett Says.
81 JHifed Press

~ Niffd PfcsS
CHICAGO. Jan. 11.-Louis P.
Piquett, squat and bushy haired
'mouthpiece" for the outlaws of
John Dillinger's gang. revealed from
the witness stand in Federal Court
today that he had been promised by
an Indiana judge that Dillinger
would be saved from death in the
electric chair if he surrendered.
Piquett's testimony, given in the
hushed court room of Judge Will
liam Holly where he is on trial on
charges of being the master mind"
of the Dillinger mob. named Judge
William j. Murray of Grown Point,
Ind. as offering the promise.
He denied conspiring with Dilling-
er-although he admitted meeting
the outlaw in Chicago a few hours
after the famous toy gun episode
and holly refuted the statements
of a dozen Government witnesses
that he arranged for plastic surgery
operations on the faces of the
Hoosier outlaw and Homer Van
Meter for a price of $4,000.
Did you ever see Judge Murray
in Chicago?" Piquett's attorney
asked him.
Yes" Piquett answered quickly.
Il saw him some time in May in
the Ford Exposition Building at a
Century Of Progress. My wife was
with me and we talked for a half
hour about the Dillinger case"
Q-What did Judge Murray talk
with you about? Al asked him
what would happen if Dillinger sur
rendered and returned to Crown
Point?
Q-What did he tell you? Ale
said that if he was tried and the
jury found him guilty and imposed
the death penalty he would COM
mute it to one of life imprisonment
because he did not believe Dillinger
personally was responsible for the
Staying of Officer O'Malley.
Officer William O'Malley of the
East Chicago police was killed in
his attempts to Illustrate holdup
of the East Chicago State Bank in
the fall of 1888. Dillinger was ar
rested in Tucson, Ariz.. on the
charge and returned to the Jail at
Grown Point in January of 1884.
Odd you tell Dillinger of your
conversation with Judge Murray?
Ayes, saw him here in Chicago,
on the near north side, two or three
days later. l told him what Judge
Murray had said and begged him to
surrender, but he wasn't very much
interested.
