HANGOVERS
BY zIM

Some of our fellow citizens
it seems, continue to be worried
over the changes being made at
City Hall. They are particularly
interested in the possibility of
a bad, bad hoId-up man dashing
into the desk sergeant's office
during the wee small hours of
the morning, shooting down the
unfortunate officer and then lib
Grating the prisoners. All this,
of course, before anybody could
say "boo-hoo" and the brethren
upstairs could rush to the res
cue.
1t sounds like movie plot to
me, but may offer a few sug-
gestions?
Employ fourteen more police
men and have them stand guard
over the desk sergeant.
Install an automatic camera
with flash light attachments)
and take pictures of everyone
entering the sergeant's office.
Isolate the cells with meats or
tear away the roof of the build
ing and deposit the prisoners
via parachute.
Have Pete Domer, the city dog
catcher, train all stray dogs to
trail fugitives.
Install an "Instant elevator"
which would carry the tired
coppers from their rest room on
the second floor to the Head
quarters entrance without un-
due loss of time.
Build automatic gates which
would close all roads leading out
of the city by merely pushing
button.
Order at once, armor suits for
all the desk sergeants, leaving
keys to said iron suits in the
custody of the town lamp light
er.
These suggestions, | believe,

No dogs and no volunteer help

JOHN s. BENNETT,
MISSION HEAD,D|ES
Director Was 56-Activities
of Institution Doomed
Under Him.

John S. Bennett, Sc. veteran super
intendent of the Central Union Mis-
sion, died early today of heart all
ment at his home in the mission
building, 624 Indiana avenue. He had
been Ill since last December.
Beloved by thousands of unfortunates
whom he had aided, Mr.. Bennett had
steadily increased the scope of the
missions activities. During his long
illness he had looked forward to re-
covery so he could again be active in
helping the needy. Since becoming i'll
he had acted in an advisory capacity
while the mission work was carried
on by Mrs. Bennett.
The growth OF the mission under
his leadership had been phenomenal.
Instead of the old dilapidated building
the mission occupied when he became
superintendent June /. 1915, it now
is housed in a large freproof struc-
ture, in which many thousands of
hungry men have been given food,
shelter and clothing.
Born in Hartford. Conn, February S.
1881, Mr.. Bennett was the son of the
late Amos and Ellen Fitzgerald Ben
nett. He was educated in grade and
high school of Hartford.
Subsequently he was in the clothing
business in New York City when he
became interested in mission work
For five years he was leader of the
Sunday and Wednesday evening serv-
ices at the old Jerry McAuley Mission
on Water street in New York.
Then. in 1915, when the Board of
Directors of the Central Union Mis-
sion was casting about for a superin-
tendent Mr.. Bennett was appointed
by unanimous vote from a list of SO
applicants.
At that time the mission occupied
building at 622 Louisiana avenue,
which had been built during the Civil
War as the Seaton Hotel Later it
had been the City Post Office 1t had
been taken over by the mission in
1892, at a cost of S55,000, after the
structure was condemned by the Gov
ernment
