No Third Degree
In St. Paul, Says
Chief Hackert


police department of st. Paul, Gin
ton A. Hackert, chief of police, said
at meeting of the members of the
st. Paul Branch of the N.A.A,C.P.,
Tuesday, in the Halle Q, Brown
House.
The chief spoke in response to
an invitation extended by the or
ganization following numerous re-
ports concerning methods the police
department was alleged to be using
in extracting confessions and han
ding colored prisoners.
Will Investigate Any Report
Any man who uses force to get
information will be in danger of
losing his job, the chief declared.
He insisted that if any reports of
brutality on the part Of the police
are brought to his attention he will
investigate them personally.
Opposed to "LOwer Elements"
Mixing
Talking further, he stated that
he was not opposed to persons of
different races, creeds or religious
beliefs associating and marrying on
a high level. The chief asserted
that such was "their business" He
added, however, that he was OPP
posed to the mixing of races among
the clover elements" on an illegal
basis.
Johnson Case
Referring to recent case of
Thomas lucky Johnson, who
died following a fight with two
white men recently, the chief stated
that he was not in a position to
comment on the case very much
because the matter was before the
Grand Jury. He did say, however,
that he felt that the police depart
ment had done everything it could
to investigate the facts and place
them before the proper authorities.
The N.A.A.C.P. had the grand
jury investigate the Johnson case
after a coroner's jury released the
two white men on the grounds that
the victim had come to his death
from unknown causes"
A business meeting of the
N.A.A.C.P. preceded the speech by
Chief Hackert and plans were dis
cussed for the coming of Dean Will
liam Pickens, director of branches
for the national N.A.A.C.P., who
will speak in st. Paul on Sunday,
November 5, at 8 p. M, in Pilgrim
Baptist Church.

Pike S Peak Locomotive

MAN1TOU, Colo, Aug. 5.-The
world first rack-rail Diesel-electric
locomotive has been built for the
Manitou & Pixies Peak Railway
the highest cog railway in the world
The new locomotive replaces the
tilted steam locomotives which for
almost 80 years have been pushing
slght-seerS to the summit of Amer
tca's most famous mountain.
Contrary to ordinary practice the
b0-passenger car on this unique
railway is pushed rather than
hauled by the locomotive.
The trip to the peak starts from
Manitou at an elevation of 6,562
feet. One hour and ten minutes is
required to climb the 8.9 miles
to the very top. The average grade
Is Is per cent, with the steepest
climb coming Just one-third of the
distance between Manltou Springs
and the peak summit where Son-of-
a-Gun Hill presents a 25 per cent
upgrade. Dynamic braking assists in
holding the car at a safe speed
in descending the steep slopes.
Spencer Penrose, colorful figure
in the development of mining and
related industries in Colorado. is
president of the Manitou & Pixies
Peak Railway. The road was COM
pleted IN the spring of 1891 under
the direction OF an engineer brought
to this country from Switzerland.
Since that time it has become es-
tablished as one of the best known
scenic railways in the world.

1t never has been put into words
as a motto in the tourism industry
that "all children, when they grow
up, go to Europe" But looking back
at yesterdays school children who
are now the young adult generation

abroad, it may safely be adopted as
one OF those slogans that are de-

they defy sane argument Few

Canada, popular as it is with the
United States travelling public, has
not yet succumbed, and likely never
will, to reproducing the American
scene SO as to make the visitor
feel at home among hot dog stands

Special Paths Invite
Denmark Visitors
On Bicycle Tours
Autos and Pedestrians
Barred From Roads
To Promote Safety

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 5.-Copen-
hagen has bicycle for every one
and-one- half inhabitants. And since
many of the machines are tandems
and young Danish mothers usually
have a baby-carrying contraption
rugged on the handlebars, the city
could easily go cycling en- masse and
simultaneously.
In fact, Copenhagen does prac-
tically take to wheel in body on
every summer Sunday. The holiday
exodus takes place so rapidly that
there are roads where 10000 bicycles
pass given point in an hour.
Separate Roads Provided.
Traffic troubles are eliminated
by having whole system of cycle
roads from which both motor We
hicles and pedestrians are barred,
and through a specially
sixth sense" that corresponds to
Americas subcOnsciOuS automobile
technique which keeps our highway
avalanches pouring along with a mi
raculous minimum of accidents.
The Danish mode of road travel
has some advantages over our
method of going places. 1t is free
from gas fumes. and it is silent;
family parties, Squadrons of club
groups, couples side-by- side with
arms around each others shoulders
drift along with no sound except
that of conversation and laughter
and song, However, it is permis-
sable for a club leader with, say. a
couple of hundred machines coming
behind him. to wind his horn for a
right of way in passing through a
village.
A bicycle tour of Denmark is per-
fectly feasible for tourists from
abroad, if the traveller has time for
the trip. The country has a MAIN
land interior on the peninsula of Jut-
land that is region Of picturesque
rolling downs without the majestic
but difficult mountain ranges of
Norway and Sweden. 1t makes a
splendid territory for wheel Journey
Ing The remainder of the ancient
kingdom is composed of many is
lands but in general they are all
connected by bridges or ferries,
so that cyclists can visit nearly all
sections of the nation Even the
beaches are used as bicycle highways,
and are smooth, firm and extensive
enough to provide the finest kind of
sea breeze-SWept routes
1t shouldn't be assumed that Cop
enhagen is exclusively a bicycle city.
Marketing, committing, picnicking
and touring on that vehicle is in
deed a Danish speciality, but in ad-
ditlon the Scandinavian metropolis
has splendid outfit of motor roads
that connect with the highways of
Sweden and Norway by the short
ferry trip from Copenhagen to
Malmo. There is also a highly Or
ganlzed system of luxurious sight
seeing and excursion buses that
carry native and foreign tourists on
delightful, and quite extended, rides
for an average price of dollar.

carrier.
The Missouri Pacifics lawyers filed
a brief in reply to briefs submitted
by other parties in the reorganiza-

"The numerous exceptions and

demonstrate clearly that the rail-
roads comprising the Missouri Pa
clflc system can never be reorgan-
lied under section II (of the Bank

OF plan developed by negotiation
and agreement.
Regardless of all other consider
ations, the ultimate controlling fact
is that whatever plan is approved
by the commission must receive the
favorable vote of security holders
before it can be made effective. -.
The debtors modified plan is the
only plan that has been devised dur
