We are often caused to wonder
whether a Police Judge Is really
Justice of the Peace or merely
a Justice of Police. Invariably
those who come before Police
Court find themselves confronted
with the presumption of guilt
rather than innocence and the Po-
liceman's word is accepted as true
even though there be preponder-
ance of evidence against his testi-
mony. Some say, that Police Court
is nothing more than court for
revenue and anyone not expecting
to be fined should be sure to stay
away from there.
When we consider the lack of
honor and integrity of many of
our ex-policemen, some who are
now in prison. convicted of various
crimes ranging from murder
down, others who have been dis
missed from the Department for
graft and conduct unbecomihg a
Policeman, it is hardly fair to the
public for the institution to be
conducted in the above mentioned
manner. To the contrary, it would
greatly dignity the Court If the
evidence presented against each
person brought before 1t was care
fully weighed under the presump-
ton of their innocence rather than
the theory that the Officer says
you are guilty, now 1t is up to you
/ to prove that you are not.
The Raid
Last week, twelve members of
the Elks Lorge and Temple were
/ tried before Acting Police Judge
E. ID. Manolides, following raid
conducted by group of police Of
ficers lead by Sgt. Fl. A. Westman
at the Elks Club rooms, 662R
Jackson Street.
To begin with, the City At
torney, Mr.. Swift, with more than
two weeks to prepare the case had
made no Preparation and in effect
told the Court that he had presum-
ed that they would plead guilty.
After some delay, graciously al
lowed by the Judge, over the Wig
/ orous protest of defense council,
certain statutes were read into the
record charging the defendants
with possession of liquor with in
! tent to sell and gambling.
Sgt. Westman testified that he
entered the club with a search
warrant expecting to find marked
money as evidence of recent buy

rays amendments would double thu
amount of Federal funds ane
strengthen Federal control of tn,

Senator Taft promptly served no

would support the Ohio Republican
because of the long period alread,
devoted to perfecting the hospita
bill.
Senator Murray urged a Fedora
contribution of $150, 200, 900 for eacl
of the next five years, instead o
STE, 600, 900 previously agreed on. H

utterly exhausted. Many thus killed
were found to be naked.
1.-TWO explanations have been Of
fered for this phenomenon: That
flames spurted across the street
with the speed of tornado and
consumed the victims clothes, SINCE
ing their skin, or that the intense
heat made the clothes dissolve with
out actual fire. The shoes were
usually the only covering left on the
bodies.
Many Were Like Mummies.
Most of these people were not
burnt to ashes when recovered. but
were dry and shrunken, resembling
mummies. In many the intense heat
had caused the skin to burst and
react over typical areas such as the
elbow, the knee, the scalp and the
orbit"
Carbon monoxide caused about IS
per cent of the deaths in shelters
and cellars. 1t was generated by in
complete combustion from the
flames outside or by bomb bursts.
The people In the shelters died

found sitting at rest, untouched by

people crazy" the report held. AS In
the experience of England, there
was an estimated decrease of from
80 to 81 per cent annually in the
number of patients in mental insti-

individual who has tendency to-
ward insanity begins to worry about
the other fellow as well and is less
inclined to worry about his own
troubles.

In it's conclusions, the medica,

for the benefit of democratic peoples
in facing the future:
Protection of the health of the
civilian population will be one of the

The ability of people to remain
healthy during an air war is in
direct ratio to their previous educa-
ton in personal hygiene, sanitation
and dietetics.
Those responsible for the protec-
ton of the American people should
give attention to the construction
Of hospitals and the placement and
