POLIGE BOARD STARTS DUT

By AROCHIE LEE,
yaay Atlantans who had heard the

QOommisston Tuesday night were won

meant On two tmportant and dis

'he explanation map be that they
ordered an executive session and
ught the publio would never hear
the actlons. It must make some
them laugh to read the record of
¢ session in cold type.
gho first nttter was sprung by
{derman J. Barnes, chairman of

’lan Early Action on

National Prohibition
e ———— F
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Blated
the of the District of Co
finbla prohigmon bill by the Senate,
Prohibitionists in Congress today
planned to force early action on the
Bheppard resolution proposing a na
tion-wide prohibition amendment to
the Constitution.
The pesolution has been regcom
mended to the Senate by the Judi
clary Committee, and is now on the
Benaté calendar awalting action. Al
though there is a strong sentiment in
Congress for “passing the buck” to
the States on the prohibition ques
tion, it is doubtful whether the reso
lution will reach a vote at this ses
sion,
The fate of saloons and cases in the
District of Columbia s now in the
hands of the House. Thd bill will be
taken up by the House at an early
date, and the fight there will {take
the form of an effort to preveht it
coming to a vote.

of Willlam Campbell, patrolman, on
charges of belng drunk.
Commissioner Harry Poole asked
for an expression from Mayor Cand
ler on the situation.
Tl\e Mayor’s Position.
“A policeman and a, drunen man are
incompatible,” the Mayor sald. “My
idea is that a man carrying a pistol
for the purpose of upholding the law
and enforoing peace should never, un
der any circumstances, take a drink.
“If I were Chief of Police I would
want every drinking man fired.”
The members of the board ap
plauded enthusiastically.
It was Mayor Candler's first meet-
Ing, and he asked to be excused from
‘voting,
The board voted to let Campbell off
with a suspension of 30 days.
Another matter of interest was a
statement by Mayor Candler about
his attitude toward the department.
“Some people have said that when
I became Mayor I would tear up the
police department,” he said. 7z 0o
not intend doing any such thing., I
do not even know that the depart
ment needs to be ‘“orn up.’ What I
want to insist upon is that we have
good discipline in the department, for
I think it is the most important de
partment in the city government.”

Elizabeth Ratcliffe, today was sen

lightest verdiot it could,” said Judge
Mlller {n pronouncing pentence,
Tears filled the youth’s eyes as sen
tence was pronounced. He turned
half &rouxxl. For a full moment his
eyes rested on his flancee, Miss Dalsy
Inyart, who sat among the specta
tors. Then he walked away in cus
tody of the deputies.
Hinderliter's aged mother and his
sister had gone to their Wabash
County home. His brothers were in
court, but no members of the Rat
cliffe family were present.
Judge Miller overruled a motion for

We, the jury, find the defendant
