'JEW POLICE ARE
HOT APPROVED
BY GITYGOUNCIL
Another Case of Commission
ers Refusing to Grant Po
; lice Department Head a
j Vote of Confidence.
The city council committee of the
whole yesterday declined to formally
approve a list of 61 new policemen
appointed by Police Commissioner
Ringer since the court house riot,
September 28.
"I would like to have the council
approve thisist," said the police
commissioner.
, "I think that this list should be
gone over with a fine-tooth comb,"
recommended Acting Mayor Ure,
whereupon the commissioners voted
with the acting mayor, rather than
with the police commissioner.
" It was manifestly another case of
the council refusing to grant Mr.
Ringer a vote of confidence. The
police commissioner conceded that
Maj.' C M. White, who is acting as
' police inspector, temporarily, stated
that some of these new policemen
should be weeded out.
Commissioners Not Satisfied.
Mr. Ringer added that his depart
ment had investigated each applicant
for the police department before the
. appointment was made, but that ex
planation did not satisfy the com
missioners, who are going to make
' some investigations on their own
account. The list submitted by Mr.
Ringer was placed on file and the
men will merely serve as policemen
on six months' probation. The
point was that the commissioners
' were not willing at this time to ap
prove the appointments of Mr.
Ringer.
Mr. Ringer felt the situation
keenly, for of late he has been re
ceiving the support of a working
majority of the council in at least
some, propositions. A succession
of overt and indiscreet acts by po
. licemen, has caused the commission
ers to act, with more caution in
matters pertaining to the police de
partment. The committee of the whole yes
terday morning also refused to rec
ommend for passage, Mr. Ririger's
new police department ordinance,
which was offered last week and
referred over for consideration yes
terday. Besides providing I for an
increase of salary for the patrol
men, aa authorized in an act bv the
recent special session of the fegis-
j lature, this ordinance contemplates
; granting to the chief of police au
thority to demote, promote.' or
transfer any member of the police
department without the O. K. or
recommendation of the police com
missioner. s Action is Deferred.
The existing ordinance requires
reference of these matters to the
police commissioner before the chief
of police can act Mr. Ringer want
ed this ordinance recommended for
passage yesterday, but the commit
tee of the whole deferred action for
another week. ,
Russell Norgaard, one of the new
police appointees, was identified to
the council committe of the whole
as the man who intervened in be
half of Mayor Smith when the mob
had a rone around the neck of the
mayor, September 28.

submitted to the council by Mr.
Ringer, follows: '

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
Are a Harmless Substitute
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are the
result of Dr. Edwards' determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For 17 years he used
these tablets (a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oil) in bis private
practice with great success.
They do all the good that calomel
does but have no bad after effects. , No
pains, no griping, no injury to the
gums or danger from acid foods yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.
Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
when you feel "logy' and "heavy."
Note how they clear clouded brain and
perk up the spirits. 10c and 25c a box.

Indigestion, Acidity, Sourness
and Cases ended with
Millions of people know that it is
needless to be bothered with indi
gestion, dyspepsia or a disordered
stomach. A few tablets of Tape's
Diapepsin neutralize acidity and give
relief at once.
When yonr meals dpn't 'fit and
you feel uncomfortable, when you
belch gases, acids or raise sour, un
digested food. When you feel lumps
of indigestion pain, heartburn or
headache, 'from acidity, just eat a
tablet of Pape's Diapepsin and the
Stomach distress is gone.
The costls so little. The benefits
so great. You, too, will be a Dia
pepsin enthusiast afterwards.
