The appointment of a public de- fender to act in the local police court in a capacity similar to publig de- fenders in superior courts, was pro- posed to the charter revision commit- tee by Alderman John F. Gill of the second ward at last night’s meeting of the cpmmittee, Alderman Gill pointed out that the city spends money to engage a prose- cutor and an assistant to present cases in court, but not a cent to see that- the interests of the accused are protected by an attorney if he is not in a’'financial position to engage coun- gel.. He felt that there are many in- stances particularly among foreign- born residents of the city where lack of knowledge of the FEnglish lan- guage, and of court procedure is a great disadvantage to them. He ex- pressed an opinion that, since money is spent for the proper prosecution of .offenders, money should also be ex- pended to see that no man innocent of crime is subjected to inconveni- ence or punishment. Alling Takes Issue. Judge B. W. Alling, representative- elect, attended his first meeting, as- sured the alderman that the interests of those not represented by counsel are not jeopardized in the local court. Questions are put to the accused to bring out every possible bit of infor- mation before judgment is handed down, he said. Alderman Gill's proposal came aft- er a discussion of Representative A. N. Rutherford’'s suggestion that the appointment of prosecuting attorneys be placed in the hands of the police court judge, thus removing it from the common council. Alderman Frank L. Conlon felt it would not be an advisable step in that direction. Mayor A. M. Paonessa was in favor of the chgnge and also proposed that. the appointment of a corporation counsel’ bé placed in the mayor's hands. “You must give the judga tools to work with, and you must also give the mayor tools to work with,” he said 1in explanation of his stand. Representative-elect Alling, who is a judge of the police court, said that perhaps, he should not be expressing himself but he felt at the present time that the {dea was a good one. He felt that if the judge had the appoint- ment of a prosecutor he might be in # position to “talk to him." Often- times, he said, the judge is blamed for things that are not really his fault, but he is not in a position to correct matters. .. Subjects Under Constderation At the opening of the meeting, Chairman E. F. Hall read the min- utes showing the matters now under consideration, to be as follows: The establishment'of an electrical commission. Under the present ar- rangement, the inspectors serve under the police and fire boards and the building commission. The collection of all revenues in one ! city department. The collection of taxes semi-annual- ly instead of annually as is now the custom. (Continued on Fourteenth Page). BROKERAGE FAILURE FOLLOWING SUICIDE Jesse A.
