BUTLER’S FIRST OFFICIAL CLASH ■ ( __ (Continued FVom Page t) line, and I wasn't going to give him khe opportunity. “You get too much salary.” he llsaid to me. “You get more than SBlles. (He referred to George H. Biles, director of the department of rpubllo works.) Biles Is the greatest engineer In the country; he could get $60,000 a year anywhere. We all know you work hard, blit we don’t pay for hard work; we pay for education and brains. I won't stand for an increase for Elliott. He’s a trimmer." s We reached our destination and the conversation ended. Pressure Tells While the clash, such as It was, apparently over Elliott’s salary increase, actually, It was due to the redlstrlctlng plan. I then realized that some means would have to be taken to stiffen the rrlayor's backbone, so he could withstand the pressure of the gang. I began to accept invitations to address church bodies and other organizations. Every address was used a! a means of "holding up” the mayor. I emphasized the mayor’s pledges and his explicit orders to me to divorce the police from politics I praised the mayor for not interfering. Everywhere I went t spoke about the mayor. On many occasions the mayor and 1 spoke at the same meetings, and he stood right up at such times, re Iterating his promises to support the War. That helped a lot. Os course, It seemed ridiculous for the mayor to repeat his pledges so constantly, hut ihe had to do it to keep the politiiCians away from him. However, while the mayor did not Interfere, he did not 'help. When l carried the news to him of the arrest cf employes of the Ritz-Carlton and

A LOCAL LADY SAYS IT HELPED FROM THE FIRST “Konjola Benefited Me in Every Way,” She States. Whole System Is Now Improved. “Konjola has benefited me in j every way, and I urge everyone who suffers to give this wonderful new medicine a trial,” said Mrs. Ruth M. Sullivan, popular Indianapolis lady, Jiving at 1131 Pleasant St., this city, while talking a few days ago with I 1 jLi ; , I \\ J * U mis. RUTH M. SULLIVAN The Konjola Man, who is at Hook’s dependable drug store, corner Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where crowds of men an d women are now calling daily to find out j about this celebrated new medicine. “My whole system is greatly improved since Konjola has put my stomach in good condition and strengthened my nerves," said Mrs. Sullivan. “My stomach had become badly disordered, and I suffered from general nervousness. It seemed that n y food would refuse to digest but instead, it would bring on miser able gas and bloating spells. Each day I was subject to terrible headaches. My nerves were shattered and on tension all the time. I was restless at nights, and couldn’t sleep, so that in the morning I felt worse than when I went to bed the night before. . “I had tried several remedies, and I was just wondering what to do next, and then I found out about the Konjola. I began hiking this medicine, and It helped me from the very first. I knew right away that It was just what I had always peeded for my trouble. My stomach is now Improved to such a healthy condition that I can e<at anything I want. My food digests properly, and X don’t have the gas and bloating spells. I never have those bursting headaches any more and my nerves are strengthened and In fine condition. I’m able to rest the whole night long, so that 1 feel refreshed every morning and able to go about, my work. “X had been planning to make a trip and visit some relatives in the East, and I tell you, this Konjola built up my system so wonderfully that I was able to travel and really enjoy myself more than I had ex pected. Yes, has benefited me in every way", and 1 take pleasure" In recommending it to others for real relief from suffering.” Konjola Is not only for stomach ■trouble, but Is a splendid liquid mixture of medical Ingredients, which have an equally beneficial effect upon the stomach, lirer, kid neys and bowels. It relieves these sluggish, disordered organs and in-> vigorates them into better action, so that within a brief space of time the former sufferer is feeling Improved in general. It is believed that this .celebrated medical compound is Just what thousands of suffering men and women throughout this entire section have long needed to actually reach their cases. The Konjola Man Is at Hook’s drug store, corner Pennsylvania and Market Sts. fthe busy downtown sec tlon of Indianapolis and the easiest to to), where he Is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Free samples given. Konjola Is also sold at all other Hook drug stores throughout the j shopping district of Indianapolis.— j Advertisement.

Liberal Wins at Clarence

.1. CJ. Manpili lias been elected mayor oi the town of Clarence, Mo., after a contest in which the religions vehvs of himself and his opponent, Ij. I’. Peterman, were the chief issue. Man pin was opposed by_th fundamentalists of the town because of his liberal interpretation of certain Biblical passages; but he won by 110 votes. Bellevue-Stratford Hotels, the mayor sat down limply and weakly. "I won't interfere," lie muttered; ‘I won t interfere, General!" No Congratulations It was silly. He wouldn't inter sere! I had expected he would congratulate the police and discuss plans for prosecuting. Instead of helping.

he merely said he wouldn’t hamper his own army In carrying out his own orders. Council, however, was adopting open warfare. Everything that I sent to them was rejected. Speakers would rise in. the ornate gilt and glass chamber to assualt me, to denounce the war on crime and to lambast the police force. The mayor did not interfere there, either. Police work and plans continued. A study revealed the average age of Philadelphia’s policemen was 53. Much too old, it was evident. I asked the civil service commission to reduce this age average. The maximum age for new policemen was 38 years. I asked that this be reduced to 30. The cofnmlssion agreed to give the matter consideration. We organized a medical bureau, making use of the police surgeons. Offices were rented and a clinic Installed. Policemen were regularly examined, their ailments diagnosed and medical attention given free to those who required it. Immediately the sick list began to decrease. Hand of Polities The mayor, however, gradually began to attempt to hamper police work, not of his own volition, but because of political pressure. Demotions, suspensions, and transfers of police officials and policemen continued as police activity grew. After each hatch of transfers or demotions he would mutter to me about complaints he had received. He never openly asked nte to restore demoted men, hut he indicated very plainly that he was getting tired of the police activity. ()n-several oc> asios he directed the discharge of employes of the department outside of the bureau of police, for no reason except to make vacancies for political favorites of certain ward leaders. We were forced to comply as I had no agree-

ment with th mayor, except that he was not to interfere with the police. I wasn’t satisfied with the work of the police. The activity was there, hut not the results. Raids were renewed with greater vigor. In the Tenderloin se loons were smashed by police raiders equipped with axes. I ordered the police to make at least one hundred raids a day. Saloons Harassed There were some fifteen hundred saloons in Philadelphia. I knew, as did everyone else, that saloons could not exist unless they violated the dry laws. Yet, when we raided them, we accomplished nothing, because of the magistrates and the courts. Wa decided that if we raided these saloons often enough and regularly enough, they would get tired and would voluntarily close their doors. The raids were ordered. Saloons would be visited two and three Hunts r-kstop ■r V CO UGHS J&kCOLDS | FOLEYS^ HONIWAR'w Established 1875 Tmjm Stoob mlm of Tint Sown* Thru GfunurromW REFUSE SUBSTITUTES SOLO EVERYWHERE

a week, and sometimes that often In a day. Our theory was correct; several hundred soon closed their doors, and these were the worst of the places. The same thing was true In disorderly houses We would raid them, arrest the proprietors and inmates, and thyn see them released the next morning by a friendly magistrate. Gambling houses likewise were raided and scores of inmates arrested, only to he freed immediately. Hut the raids, despite the lack of proper punishment for the offenders were having a beneficial effect. (Copyright, 1926, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.)
