The refusal of the majority fusal of Mayor Dilling to bring about humane conditions in the city jail was the keynote of the protest meeting. “Recall Steiner.” Whenever a speaker would men- tion the three councilmen, for whom the recall is out, shouts of “Recall Steiner, too,” and “Recall Dilling,” would come from the audience.

Have Mayor Dilling and Chief Bannick come to realize that the people, after all, have something to |say on the matter of jail reform? Indications were this morning that possibly they have. Mrs. Homer Hill, in addressing the pub- lic safety committee on Kellogg's new jail bill, said she had reason to believe that Jailer Corbett would be dropped from his employment at the jail within a few days if the Kellogg bill was passed. To give the mayor and the chief} an opportunity to act, Griffiths’ bill for the abrogation of the po- sition of chief jailer was deferred two weeks, Bannick and Dilling might not have lived up to Griffiths’ bill if it should have become law. The council might have been forced to remove the chief reason, Kellogg said the reason he fs going to vote to sustain the mayor's veto, Kellogg, in other words, felt that the mayor and the chief would vio- late the law if it was not passed in accordance with their views, and that in order not to expose them to the people as violators of the laws, the laws are now being framed to sult those who are to keep them, “While I see a great deal of merit in Griffiths’ bills, and know that good results would have come of their passage, I did not believe it for the best interests of the city |' precipitate an open conflict be- of police for that | that -that's | jtween the administration and thé council, as would have been done jhad the bills been passed,” said | Kellogg.
