Replacing Wreckage

Superintendent of Police Ernest w. Brown is undoubt
ev correct when he describes the condition of the police
headquarters building and some of the precinct stations
as Shameful
THE BUILDING HOUSING THE CENTRAL POLICE
OFFICE IS A DILAPIDATED DISGRACE THAT
SHOULD BE TORN DOWN IMMEDIATELY IN
STEAD OF BEING USED AS HEADQUARTERS FOR
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BRANCHES OF
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Conditions in the building are as bad if not than
those in the Police Court building which is shortly to
be replaced with a new million-dollar structure.
It is no wonder therefore, that Major Brown is max
ing efforts to replace the old wreck.
But-where is the money coming from to build new
police headquarters building?
Where is the money coming from to build replace
ments for the precinct houses that have outved their
usefulness and that Major Brown very properly wants
to eliminate?
Where is the money coming from for other capital
expenditures which the city should make in order to
keep its governmental plant up to any kind of decent
standard?
Expenditures in the District budget for the current
fiscal year exceed by four million dollars the
nues which the local government can expect during the
year.
Obviously then there isn't any extra money in the
District treasury take of these improvements
New revenue would therefore be necessary in order
to make the improvements which Major Brown wants
included in the next appropriation bill and similar i'm
proveents which the other local department heads want
included in the same bill.
IT WOULD BE UNWIsE AND UNJUST TO OBJ
TAIN THOSE ADDITIONAL REVENUES BY IN
CREAsING LOCAL TAXES TAXES WHICH ARE
ALREADY HIGHER THAN THE LOCAL TAXES IN
ANY COMPARABLE CITY.
If these improvements are to be nHde-1nd there
isn't any question that they are needed-they WiLL
have to come through an increase in the amount
Which the Federal Government GpprOpriGteS for the
care of the National Capital.
No knows whether that increase will be made.
Until it is made the of financial prudence would
dictate that the capital investments to be recommended
in the estimates being prepared be kept to a
minimum.

According all the usual induces of business activity Pueblo

poverhed community that must rely the generosity OF
the Federal Government

It's bank deposits considerably in of the bank

Rochelle has larger population than Pueblo
It's per capita retail sales exceed those the Bronx BrooH

At the time of the 40 per cent of its population
was painfully employed that in this respect too it out
ranked New York city.
Pueblo in short could afford to bear substantial portion
of the cost work relief carried within its borders
But when President Roosevelt August 20 last approved
the first batch projects for this city, he pledged the Federal
Treasury to expenditure of $9838 while the OF
these projects agreed supply only $72 Thus for every
$36 that Pueblo contributed the Federal Government had to
spend 1864 these projects.

The LandOn Tonic

Business Improvement since the nomination of Alfred M
Landon for the Presidency has been considerable.
The trend apparent before the Cleveland Conven-
tonespecay when during the Spring became evident to
intelligent business that Governor Landon the logical
opponent to Mr. Roosevelt and that barring earthquake
he would be the choice of the Republican Party.
Raw Deal spokesman of course will maintain that Landon
nomination and business improvement conci-
dence, not and effect.
Their constant claim concerning any sign of recovery
that I'VE planned that way and don't let anyone tell you
differently
Well, such pleasant fictions to be expected
pan year. but most Americans will remember that the actual
date of recovery day on which the Supreme Court
ruled out the National Recovery Act buried the Blue Eagle
and freed business from of the restrictions which
effectually strangling it.
With the increasing likelihood of Republican victory in
November and four years of administration supplant
the wild extravaganza of the last three and half business
may well begin to feel better
The prospect of change of doctors and of sounder remedies

gateway of the ancient castle Of
Tubeck, and above it is a bell,
tolled every day in the year for
the repose o. his soul. Lody, young,
dark, short, energetic, was the
first of the noted spies of war to
go to their doom on the dark trail
Of Mata Har1 and Bolo Pasha.
He was an ideal type for eS-
pionage, with easy manners, an
affable way of working himself
into good society and a perfect
knowledge of English. There was
little of the German about him. In
fact, he had become so American
lied from long stay in this coun-
try that he was able to convince
the American Embassy in Berlin
that he was Charles IngliS, of New
York. and as such, received an
American passport.
That done, it was an easy mat
ter to get into England and start
the flow Of vital information back
to Berlin. Charles IngliS became
prolific letter writer and a con-
slant traveller between London and
Scotland. One of his tricks of get
ting information to Berlin was by
an odd arrangement of postage
stamps on his letters. Most likely
this betrayed him, for England,
under Kitchener, had become alive
to the spy menace, which for
months had been playing havoc
with her war plans and costing
her thousands of lives in France
and on the high seas.
REWARD OF FATE
The circumstances of his arrest
were never made public, save that
he was taken from hotel in Kill
larney to stand trial in the Tower
of London, the first spy in more
than a 100 years to face a
courtmartial in England. The trial
was sensational. The court assem-
bled in the MiddleSeX Guild Hall
under the presidency of Lord
Cheylesmore, impressive in a dark
blue uniform with golden epau-
lettes. The eight other officers
were in khaki.
Under the law of the Romans,
which prevails in British court
martialS, these nine judges were
the court of last resort, with no
appeal from their findings.
The charges against Lody were
that he had been sending to
Germany infinitely detailed re-
ports of the Notifications of the
Firth of Forth and the arma-
ment and location of the British
warships. He was said also to
have communicated the measures
taken for the protection Of pub
lie buildings against the attacks
of the zeppelinS.
He was convicted, and although
some of the cabinet members IA
vored life imprisonment, Lord
Kitchener insisted on the death
penalty, as a measure for the
vigorous extirpation of the spy
menace. Lody was taken to the
Tower and seated in chair.
He refused to be blindfolded,
folded his arms and crossed his
legs while the eight men in the
firing squad took aim. Thus
died Karl Lody. He left behint
a letter in which he wrote:
"When my friends hear Of
me again, doubtless my body.
shall have been placed in con-
crete beneath this old tower.
or my bones shall have made.
a pyre. But shall have served
my country. Doubtless my
demise shall be heralded as
that of spy, but 1 have spirit

suffered, and must accept the
reward of fate"
