BUTLER LEARNS A NEW TRICK (Confirmed From Page 1) lions and demotions, suspensions and transfers continued. Before the first six months were over most of the lieutenants had been changed in some manner. New faces appeared. policemen whose work had won promotion. A legal adviser was wanted. The city solicitor hadn't the time for the work. I appealed to the district attorney, who had held that office for eighteen years through his affiliation with the organization. “I won’t assume any responsibility for that rotten police force,” was his discourteous response. The city council quibbled for months over an appropriation of $5,000 a year to pay for an advisor. * Court Blocks Efforts Magistrates continued to discharge prisoners brought In following raids, regardless of the evidence. When offenders, after much effort by the police, finally were brought to trial the judges showed their opposition to dry enforcement by ridiculous Instructions to juries and their interpretation of the law. Several thousand slot machines seized in a sensational sweep of the city were ordered returned to the Municipal Court. While the case was being fought out the machines operated week after week, earning a dally profit of $15,000 for their owners. They were finally ordered removed Deaf Hear Instantly Amazing Invention Brings Immediate Relief to Those Who Are Deaf A wonderful invention which enables the hard of hearing to hear all sounds as clearly and distinctly as a child has been perfected by the Dictograph Products Corporation, Suite 2884, 14 E.

from the city, but not confiscated as they should have been. Every once In awhile the politicians would spread the rumor that I was to be ousted and the Ud would be lifted and vice and rum would return to their own. This always meant renewed drives and raids. All efforts were not vain. Poison liquor which in the preceding administration had exacted a toll of many lives was entirely eliminated. More than 200 dives, masquerading as restaurants, cider saloons and cigar shops, which had openly sold what was called ‘‘block and fall” whisky (walk a block and fall dead), were closed before the end of the half year. Deaths from that cause ceased. More Actual Policing I worked out a plan to remove the police from the control of politicians and at the same time to put more of them on street duty. It must be understood that out of the entire force of 4,200 men, only half wore available for street duty. That meant 2,100 men to patrol 3,500 miles of streets and alleys. Manhattan, in New Tork, with 2,800 miles of streets, has almost four times as many men on patrol duty. Our 2,100 worked in three shifts of eight hours each, so there were never more than 700 men on the streets at any one time. "We abolished indoor sinecures and put 200 extra men on the street. We eliminated several antiquated police beats and so obtained sixty more men for patrol. Then we dealt the death blow, for the time being, to political control. As previously explained nearly every ward had a police station. There were forty-two stations. A study revealed that elimination of eighteen of these stations would save hundreds of thousands of dollars, would release 160 men for patrol duty and would make it hard for the ward politicians to handle the police. Politicians Mixed We rearranged the districts so that each police station covered two or more wards. This would naturally bring two or more ward leaders into conflict for control. Instead of one lieutenant in each district, we could have two and a captain. And each of these three would be brought in from a different part of the city, with different political affiliations. How could two or three ward leaders control three different police officials from outside wards? We believed it would be impossible. We worked out our new map and put it up to the mayor, having first obtained a written opinion from the city solicitor that the plan could be put Into operation by the director of public safety, without legislation by the city council or the approval of the mayor. I explained to the mayor that the plan would help me carry out hts pledge to the people to divorce the police from politics. At the same time it would help keep crime down. The mayor approved and initialed ; the plan. T made it public. It served as a ; bombshell. The Philadelphia politicians immediately realized Its i significance. They saw it would take the police out of their control. Trouble for Mayer They saw also that the magis- j trates would be less of an obstacle to law enforcement. Under the law the police had to take persons ar- j rested before the magistrate of the ! district. Some of the new districts ! would have two or three magistrates, j So, we could select the magistrate least hostile arid least under the control of the local leader. Using this dog-eat-dog policy we would obtain warrants otherwise impossible. Let us say Doss Vare and Council President Hall were at outs, as they were. Each controlled a magistrate in the same district. Hall’s magistrate would issue warrants for a place controlled by Vare friends—and vice versa. The politicians growled and grumbled. Knowing it was futile to grumble to me, they turned on the mayor and made his life miserable. In droves they flocked to his office and insisted that he call me off. They harassed him almost to death. Bill Vare raised a terrible racket. Charley Hall did likewise. Every ward leader who was to “lose a police station” demanded that the mayor stop the scheme or dismiss me. They brought huge delegations of -Pitizens to protest, but I convinced the delegations that the move was a proper one. The mayor was in a predicament. He‘didn’t want to offend the politicians, he wanted their good will, for he had his eyes on the Governorship. What was he to do? (Copyright, 1926, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) (Tomorrow General IJutler will tell of tlie first seriously strained relations between the mayor and himself.)

GOOD FURNACE NECESSARY FOR HOME COMFORT Escol Heating Plant Favorite in Many Modern* Homes. Ever notice how much the atmosphere of a house you step Into adds or detracts from Its hospitality? If when you step Into a home, warm, glowing heat surrounds you, you Instantly have a feeling of well being which amounts to a mental “welcome!” So householders, for their friends' sake if not for their own, A good furnace is a joy. The Escol, featured by the Ideal Heating Company, 2437-39 Central Ave., has been tried and its value proven in Indianapolis. You’re sure of a warm, hospitable atmosphere In your home if you install this well-known heater. Some of the finest homes in the city have this furnace. When you're traveling about the residenca sections of town, notice how many times you'll see the sign in front of houses being built or remodeled, “An Escol furnace being installed here!” ! A fact that- may be of interest is that the Escol furnace is one that is easily adapted to oil burners. But whether installing tho heating plant for coal or oil, the company is very careful to comply with all requirements of the building code of our city. "This is important when replacing old, dismantled heating plants or putting in new ones,” remarked Harry Escol, son of the proprietor. The Ideal Heating Company was founded twenty-six years ago by Hyman Escol, and continuously since that time, also does a large line of sheet metal work. All kinds of guttering, spouting and skylights are taken care of. Prices are moderate. “Wo have customers who have dealt with us for years,” remarked the proprietor. OIL HEATERS ARE PRAISED * “What heating system shall we install?” is tho question that numberless homo builders are asking themselves and others, now that the spring building is at hand. Surely a system in which the housekeepers’ ancient enemies of soot, dirt and ashes, are put out of the running, is one which holds decided attraction. Tho Hobson-Hall Distributing Corporation, 400 N. Illinois St., can well boast it has an oil burner that will please the most exacting housewife, by it cleanliness and its ease of operation. Equally important is the fact that the Vapor Heat Oil Burners measure up to the company’s slogan which is “An oi! burner that every family can afford.” The heater comes in two sizes, one for uso in furnaces and a smaller size for use in heating stoves, ranges, Arcolas, Heatrolas or laundrystoves. Whatever the size installed the report of the service rendered has been the same, “excellent." Any grade of fuel oil can be burned.

ASSOCIATION’S POLICY IS TO ASSIST PUBLIC Railroad Men’s Organization Steady Growth Since 1887. “To give the public the benefit of the best earnings consistent with safety,” these are the words of the president of the Railroadmen's Building and Savings Association, 21-23 Virginia Ave., and- epitomize the policy of this reliable, old concern. The Railroadmen's Association was organized ii* 1887, and has grown steadily and surely since then. At the end of its first year it had assets totaling- $5,017.90. On Dec. 31, 1925, its assets amounted to $46,048,306.’58. Not long ago William Cannon, company president, who drew up tho articles of incorporation at the time the association was organized explained its origin. “The Railroadmen's Building and Savings Association was formed by officials and employes in railroad service thirtynine years ago,” he said. “The idea in organizing It was to furnish railroad employes a safe place to obtain money at reasonable rates for building and buying homes.” From the first year of its formation, the association was ap-

proached by persons in no way connected with railroads, so its service has not been, and is not confined to railroad people, but is open to the general public. Even in the famous panic year of 1893, when more than 200 banks in the country foiled, the Railroadmen’s Association showed a gain in assets it was pointed out. At no time has its growth faltered. From the first it estab ished confidence, which its accommodating and clear cut way of handling depositors, has held.
