COUNCIL BALKS, BUTLER PUSHES ON REGARDLESS Doughty Marine Refuses to Be Blocked by Politicians. • Editor's Not to—This is the eleventh installment ol General Butler's story ot hie work as Ii ead ol Philadelphia police and his dismii isal early this vear The articles will a ppoiir dally. The Times owns exelusivt rights to the articles in this territory By Sn mdley TANARUS. Butler To divorce the police from politics, redistrict in? was vital. To redistrict required funds for rewiring the police signals and, telephones. The city council refused the $25,000 asked for, at tl le same time verbally attacking me. I started the rewiring, without funds, using * electrical bureau employes for the work, and employing th<i wires tha; were ripped out. The council began to assault me in earnest. They had tha>ught, I would fight in the ancient way. The Chinese would hurl great rocks against drums, causing a terrific booming like cannon fire, 10 frighten the enemy. Then they would charge arrayed in grotesque masks. Coun<il had . expected a lot of noise, splashy uniforms, but no action. When I started in actually to redistrict the city they became panicstricken. From Atlantic City, Charley Hull, council president, attacked me in an interview. He charged mo with malting insulting remai'ks about council and demanded that the mayor force me to retract. It sd happened that the day preceding this interview, Mayor Kendrick hud made public a review and report *of his first six months in office. ,It complimented the work I of the dispartment of public safety, cited thee decrease in crime and the increase ,in arrests of criminals and, what waa more important, paid tribute to Übe work of divorcing the police fro m politics. This report, prepared by the mayor’s publicity man and handed out personally by the mayoi*. caused a great deal of

The last medicine man of the Blackfoot Indians, Chief Two Moon decided to wander over the old trail. Hast week he purchased a huge motor house containing all modem conveniences except a scale. So Mrs. Chief Two Moon bought one, and had it installed in their new home. By mistake she secured the drug store kind, which costs a penny for every weigh. Having only one penny on hand. Chief Two Moon and his squaw, holding her littlo papoose, :got on the scale at one time. They tipped the scale as shown above. If the wife weighs thirty pounds more than the combined weight of Chief Two Moon and the baby, and the baby weighs 87 Vi per cent less than its father, what is the weight of each member of the family? I>ast puzzle answer: The African mine owner gave a .seven-carat and a four-carat diamond 'to the Holland diamond broker. This I'broker gave a single carat and an eight-carat diamond in return. The .first being smaller and the second larger than either of the other Jstones. Both of the lots were of •equal value for the owner's stones ‘were worth $6,500, (7 times 7 times tsloo equals $4,900 4 times* 4 times 4100 equals $1,600; $4,900 plus sl.tiOO equals $6,600), arid the broker's were worth $6,500 (1 times l times .SIOO equals $100; 8 times 8 times tsloo equals $6,400; SIOO plus $6,400 iequals $6,500.) And both lots wens worth considerably less than SIO,OOO. ill-feeling. Hall was furious and so was Boss Vare. Publicity Man Suffers 'lie publicity man was dismissed. Thty mayor insisted that the report waji prepared by his press agent and disclaimed authorship of the commendation of the department of public safety. When the mayor's ‘attention was calk xi to Hall's remarks concerning me, he said: “I am sick and tired of fihe whole business:" Tl lese internal differences and public disputes naturally slowed up the police, but we were plugging We had centered our attention on breweries.

of my stay in Philadelphia. Karly in July the newspapers brought up the question of my remaining after one year. Although appointed for four years, I had only ono year’s leave of absence from the Marine Corps. I referred all inqquiriers to the mayor, saying it was up to him. He refused to discuss the matter. But morning I came to my office to find the following insulting letter from the mayor on my desk: “Dear Sir: “The newspaper,publicity concerning the ouestion of your retention as director of public safety after Jan. 5 next, when your leave of absence from the Marine Corps expires, has continued so long as to stamp it as propaganda, while your frequent contributions to it indicate that it has your approval. “Its evident intent is to embarrass this administration, and your further participation in it will, therefore, seriously affect the harmonious relations which much exist between the mayor and his directors if the administration is to be successful. “It is my desire that j’ou abstain from further public statements in the matter and devote your energies to carrying into effect those policies which I directed you to enforce when I appointed you to office and in which you have had my consistent support." Reply Is Perfunctory A few day's earlier Hall and Vare had sailed for Kurope. Before they left I learned on highest authority they had discussed matters with the mayor and ho had agreed to dismiss me before their return. I knew this when I received the mayor’s letter. And I knew that anything more than a perfunctory reply by myself might be construed as insurbordinatlon, resulting in my dismissal. I wrote: “My dear Mr. Mayor: “I have the honor to acknowledge receipt, through your secretary, of your letter of reprimand dated Aug. I, 1924. “While expressing regret that you should ■ have so written without granting a hearing, it nevertheless gives great satisfaction to know that this administration of the department of public safety has been such as to warrant your consistent support. “It is desired to assure you. Mr. Mayor, that those policies wnich you directed when you appointed the present director of this department will continue to be enforced." "The Great Silence” What the newspapers and city hall gossip then referred to as “the great silence.” continued between the mayor and myself for weeks. We spoke only to exchange greetings or to pose for camera men. I learned that the Police Beneficiary Association had developed a deficit of $130,000. It had been in the hands of politicians. Some seventyfive widows of policemen and tiremen who had died in the service were waiting, some in dire need, for the $2,000 to which they were en-

At the first game, late in July or early in August, I played catcher for our team for a few innings, and there the mayor shook hands with mo. smiled and passed on. That was one of the few breaks in the silence which endured throughout August. Police activity continued and Bosses Vare and Hall returned from abroad to find me still In office. But they also found the rumor circulating that I was to be dismissed. I Tomorrow General Butler will tell of the actual break between the mayor and himself.)
