Breslau, Nov, 16.—Emperor 'William
was the object of aa attempted outrage
today, whteta, however, failed, Aa he
was driving in an open carriage to thd 1
cuiraeser barracks, accompanied b-y thfe
hareditary prince of SaxesMelningen,
a woman in the crowd buried an ax Sra
the carriage* The rapidity.with widely
-the vehicle wa* pahsiyt saved the oc
cupants. The ax, or hatchet, fell just
behind the carriage. The woman w.j
Immediately arrested- T_ * - £
The woman’s name Is S. Ima Schnap
ke. She occupied a plaoe in the front
rank of Spectators on the side farthest
from She emperor.
The ha'chet, it now appears,, idjnck
the carriage. The crowd who witness
ed the act, said that the outraged peo
ple threw themselves on his majesty’*
assailant, but the prompt intervention
of the police saved the woman from
Injury.
The weapon was a short-handed meat
ax.
Wo favor tbe abolishing of the police
commission and the tTcciiou of th* po
lice force by the mayor and aldermen,
members of each force to be under ciyi
service rules, subjeot to removal on
written accusations containing specific
charges, the accused to be tried in open
oonncil. We believe this system will
best accomplish tho desired objeot of
divorcing the police department from
uojitice, and it will remedy the existing
eyii of trying and remor< , 'g member* of
the police force in secret session.
We favor the application of civil ser
vice rules to the fire department as far
as practicable.
We earnestly ask the cooperation of
all the citizens of Brunswick who desire
progress and weltare of the city in car
rying oat these pledges, and in accom
plishing the oblects herein set forth.
We propoee to nominate for mayor
and aldermen only auch men as we be
lieve to be entitled to the confidence of
the public end who will stand pledged
to administer their affaire in accordance
with the principles and declatione made
in this platform. We aek them to make
no other pledges and especially recom
mend to them that they make no pled
get or promises to particular candi
date! or applicant* for any offloe to be
filled by them, and that they select for
ench offices those beet qualified to dis
charge tbe duties and wbo are in en
tire accord and sympathy with the pur
poses and objects of this orgcnlzation,
We further recommend and urge tbs’
as far as possible, thsy stand together
