& 1) SPROUL MEETNG 1} OPBUSINESS NEN | PAVORED BY BOR Idaho Republican Would Like to Hear Views of Industry on Legislation Washington, May 12.—(?)—A legis- lative program for the new congress hhas been sketched by Senator Borah with the suggestion that industrial and business leaders present their ideas in a special conference, Among subjects the Idaho Repub- lican listed Monday as due for action when congress convenes in December were railroads, income taxes, oil re- striction, agriculture and utilities. “Certainly we would like to hear the views of industry,” Boran said. “We have not heard any recommen- dations for business and by the time we get to considering these oills we are going to be stampeded by the lobbyists and propagandists.” He proposed that the conference be “unmanaged,” and added tirat he thought congress would be glad to learn just what legislative grists would develop at the meeting. Borah suggested that five persons from each industry be delegated to attend the sessions and that political representatives and consideration of Politics be barred. ‘The Idahoan did not elaborate his ideas on the legislative program. Many of those he named, however, ‘were problems some members of both the house and senate have said they thought the last congress did not Solve satisfactorily. ‘The house commerce committee has made an exhaustive study of rail- roads and holding compantes and it is expected that group will foster several law changes. Consideration of measures to in- crease taxes on bigger incomes has been asked in discussions of ways to meet, the increasing deficit. _Numer- ous demands have been made, and will be made, for an oil tariff and laws dealing with restrictive produc- tion regulations. Likewise, advocates of the farm de- benture still are active and some members of both branches have urged legislation to place public utilities in interstate operation under federal jurisdiction. ‘The business and industrial con- ference would differ from other sim- ilar gatherings in that its discussions would, if Borah’s suggestions were followed, be limited to remedial or beneficial legislation affecting the ‘ nation instead of all problems in- volved. Deny Requests to Put Full Control In Hands of Chief (Continued from page one) entitled to and we respectfully request that the city commission, as a whole, will see to it that there is harmony in the police department and the po- licemen and patrolmen are of such a personnel as meets with the ap- proval and cooperation of the chief of police. “We are satisfied with the police protections afforded this city during the past under the leadership of the present chief of police.” The petition was presented to the commission by Theodore Tosterud but the only speeches supporting it were made by H. A. Mutchler and A. M. Garrison. These remarks were made in response to invitation by Mayor A.j P. Lenhart for any one to comment on the situation presented by the Petitions. Mutcdler urged the commission to retain Franklin and Smith and Gar- rison spoke in Franklin's behalf. At the request of the board, City Attorney C. L. Young offered a writ- ten opinion in which he held that the commission has power to appoint all officers and subordinates in all city departments. Removed Only for Cause He also held that any officer could be removed by a majority vote of the board or suspended by the president} of the commission. Any officer ap- pointed by the president without con- iirmation may be removed by him! when he deems it for the best inter- ests of the city, Young said, but any officer who has been duly appointed may not be removed except for cause or unless charges are preferred against him and an opportunity be given him to be heard in his defense. After Young’s opinion was read and Mutchler and Garrison spoke, the board retired for @ private conference and 20 minutes later issued its state- ment of policy, Text of Statement The statement, which is under- stood to have been prepared follow- ing receipt of the petition regarding the police department, follows: “There apears to be some misun- derstanding as to the plans of the hoard of city commissioners with ref- erance to the administration of the police department of the city, This|‘i9ner or to the board of city com- 41s no doubt due to the fact that stories concerning such plans have been circulated by persons who are not informed as to the facts. The board is fully cognizant of the ex- cellent features of the service ren- dered to the people of this city by the present chief of police. He has been vigilant and efficient in his ef- forts to protect the property of our citizens and on numerous occasions has demonstrated an exceptional aptitude in ferreting out criminal of- fenders and bringing them to justice. There is no desire on the part of any member of the board to minimize the merits of the chief as an officer nor is there a disposition at this time to make a change in this office. “There are, however, many aspects of the situation in the department which in the nature of things are are defects in the operation of | neral welfare the board ly so the the city at all be thoroug! and effi- Since petitions have filed broadly calling for the con- methods and conditions| signed to put an end to the practice or attempted to function as magis- effective police administration. Every change contemplated has improve- ment for its object. The board is re- sponsible for results and proposes to exercise the discretion which is vested in it by law, in the light of the in- formation which it has constantly at hand, to the end that the city may have satisfactory police protection at all times and that the police depart- ment may be thoroughly coordinated with the city government.

The board’s plan may be summarized as follows: | Need .Efficient Captain i “1, The appointment of an effi- cient captain of police who may act | as chiet of police in case of necessity. 'In a well conducted system there | must be someone at all times charge- {able with responsibility for dealing with the actual policing problems of | the city. It 1s regrettable that the i present chief suffers to sush &n ex-) {tent from ill health that it is im- | possible to spend any appreciable ‘amount of time on the streets. He | frequently is confined to the hospital for considerable periods of time and when not so confined is compelled to spend the major portion of his time at police headquarters, While it is believed desirable that, in a city of this size, there should be more direct contact between the chief and the public than ts possible because of | conditions above recited, the members jof the board, in their desire to re- tain the services of this officer, are willing to have him perform the duties of the ofice as best he may in spite of his unfor- jtunate handicap. This situation {however makes it important that there should be a subordinate officer in the department who, in cas of the illness of his superior or in the ab- sence of such officer from the city, can act as chief. In the past the city has been without an active head of the department for weeks at a time. There is great need for change in this | regard and this the board is now en- deavoring to bring about. Want Proper Cooperation “2, Proper cooperation between the police. Since the police commissioner of the city is the one directly charged by statute with responsibility for the conduct of the police department, it is important that there should be co- operation between him and the chief, who is subject to the orders of and responsible to the commissioner. To assure mutual understanding between these officers and the greater effi- ciency which must result in the con- duct of the department therefrom, the board proposes to prescribe regu- lations requiring that the chief shall report directly to the commissioner at least every third day, that he shall not leave the city, except for official trips to Mandan, without first report- ing to the president of the board or to the commissioner, giving the time of his leaving and the approximate time of his return; that he shall give the captain of police notice of any ill- ness or absence from the city pre- venting his discharge of official du- ties so that the caj May assume responsibility therefor, and that he shall report any difficulties between patrolmen or himself and the public to the police commissioner immedi- ately upon their occurrence. If the Police commissioner and the board, which is ultimately answerable for the manner in which the department is managed, are to meet their respon- sibility fully, they must know what their appointive officers are doing and how they are discharging their offi- cial trusts. Until the cooperation called for by these regulations is es- tablished in the department, there will be intervals of inefficiency in the service which will reflect upon the ée- partment and upon the police com- missioner and the board of city com- missioners, Board Will Control “3. Control over other police offi- cials. The patrolling of the streets by reason of the traffic congestion re- sulting from modern conditions has become an important policing prob- lem in dealing with which the de- partment has been less effective than it has been in dealing with other po- lice problems. To improve this phase of the administration it is the pur- Pose of the board to have the captain of police in charge of this particular service, subject, of course, to the or- ders of his superior officer. The regu- lations proposed will require the cap- tain and patrolmen at all times to wear uniforms and to deal with the public in a courteous manner. Pa- trolmen will be directed to report all violations of health, sanitation and fire prevention ordinances to the Proper city officials daily and no spe- cial patrolmen are to be put on duty without the order of the police com- missioner. Heretofore the chief of police has detailed special patrolmen without such authority. This prac- tice is contrary to law and the pro- Posed regulation is designed to bring about compliance with the statute. It is the desire of the board, also, to have the several police officers so conduct themselves that there will no longer be ground for complaint be- cause of alleged discourtesies, Regulations Outlined “4, Business methods in the man- agement of the department. A num- ber of regulations are proposed which will have to do solely with the keep- ing of police records. Others are de- whereby policemen have functioned trates. It is expected that all griev- ances shall be reported directly to the police commissioner. Too often in the past these have been bandied about on the streets and among the friends of police officials instead of being reported to the police commis- missioners whose duty it is to deal with and dispose of them. “The sole aim of the board is more Franklin Offers Letter Policeman Franklin, Tuesday after- no longer were The letter, signed by City Auditor H.

His early lessons were given to him by his father, Nicolas Ysaye, beginning when the son was five years of age. Later he studied at the conservatory of his viol After three years with Henri Wien- aiwski the young violinist struck his first bit of good fortune when Henri Vieuxtemps heard Ysaye play one of ils concertos at Antwerp. The mas- ter was so impressed with the young man’s talent that he used his in- fluence to obtain a special govern- ment subsidy that enabled Ysaye to continue his studies three more During that time he received many private lessons from Vieuxtemps. Ysaye was married twice. His first wife, Mme. Louise Ysaye, died sud- denly at Brussels Feb. 13, 1924. His second wife was Miss Annette Dincin, 44 years his junior and daughter of Dr. Herman Dincin, Brooklyn. They were married July 9, 1927, at LeZoute, @ Belgian seaside resort. Miss Dincin met Ysaye in 1920 while he was conductor of the Cin- cinnati Symphony orchestra. After hearing her play, her aptitude for the violin was so evident to him that he invited her to become one of his pu- Pils. Miss Dincin continued her studies in the United States for two years and then went to Brussels to begin her ir.struction with Ysaye. Advocates of War Debt Cancellation epee .
