Subordinates Get Warning
Against Mutiny:
THOROUGH SIFT WANTED
Major to Discharge Officers Who
Refuse to Give Data on
Financial Status.
Any mutiny in the police bureau
or concerted attempt to defy Chief
Jenkins' recent-order that all mem
bers of the force submit itemized
data on their financial status will
be met with stern action from the
city hall, Mayor Baker announced
yesterday, in a public statement
anent the police eituation.
"I will back Chief Jenkins to the
limit. As yet there has been no
open defiance of his orders. There
have only been rumors and reports.
But I can say that if any member
of the police bureau thinks that he
can defy the chief he will not be
a member very long1," stated Mayor
Baker.
While the chief did not openly
charge his subordinates with graft
he left no doubt but that it was
dishonesty at which he was aiming.
The order even required policemen
to explain the manner in which
they spent their spare time and car
Tied the intimation that the moral
characters of some members of the
bureau were not up to standard.
Ae a result of this drastic move,
open insubordination has sprung up
in certain sections of the bureau,
fciome members of the force have de
clared that they would refuse to be
finger-printed or photographed, that
they would tell nothing regarding
their habits while off duty and
would not submit any list of their
finances to the chief.
Rumors Long Afloat.
"There have been rumors afloat
for some time regarding certain
members of the police department,''
said Mayor Baker, "and Chief Jen
kins has had this investigation un
der consideration for some time. I
do not know the detais of his plan
for getting to the bottom of the
matter, but I do know that I have
intrusted him with the execution of
his duty and will back him to the
very limit.
The announcement by Chief Jenk
ins several days ago that some of
the members of the bureau were
living beyond their means, main
taining fine homes and luxurious
automobiles without any other
means than a policeman's salary
was taken as a plain challenge by
the bureau head to these men to
show "where they were getting it."
Shake-Up Is Began.
"With this announcement came a
periodical shake-up of the moral
squad, the order that every member
of the bureau submit a list of his
financial assets and obligations, an
order that every member of the bu
reau be finger-printed and photo
irranhed and the detailing of two
veteran detectives to the unpleasant
task of checking up on the past lives
and more recent performances of
their brother officers.
"Outside of his civil sertice rights,
a policeman's position is no differ
ent from any other kind of employ
ment. Certain big corporations re
quire just such reports as Chief Jen
kins demands, and if a policeman is
honest and clean, I cannot see why
he should have any personal objeq
tion to this examination, we are
not asking anything unreasonable,
we are only attempting to keep the
reputation of the force above sus
picion.
"I assume no attitude either of
doubt or belief of the rumor in cir
culation, but I am bound to say that
the circumstances reported compel
my opinion that the reports must be
In some instances justified.
"Thus far it is all a matter of
report. No direct evidence of the
truth of the charge that graft ex
ists has been brought before me. If
any individual or any organization
or any newspaper has such evidence
it should be placed immediately be
fore Chief Jenkins as a matter of
plain public duty. I promise that
there will be no lack of quick and
decisive action upon any such evi
dence. We do not want rumors and
reports. We do want evidence. That
and that Alone will enable us to
clean up."

TROUBLE MET IN MERGER
JOINING OF BIG PACKERS
MAY BE HALTED.
Officials of Morrrts Company Say
Armour Interests Scheming
to Get Control.
CHICAGO, Dec. 9. An unexpected
turn in the discussed merger of the
two large packing firms. Morris
& Co. and Armour & Co, became
known Friday when a signed state
ment issued by the former firm was
made public. Over the signatures
of Nelson Morris, chairman of the
board of directors, and Edward Mor
ris president, it indicated that J.
Oe'den Armour of Armour & Co., in
visits to Washington and confer
ences with officials of the govern
ment on the proposed merger, has
not taken officials of Morris & Co.
into his confidence.
The Morris & Co. statement read:
"We note by Thursday morning
papers that Mr. Armour has advised
President Harding that we are
anxious to be out of the packing
business.
"This is news to us.
"While we realize that Mr. Ar
mour is very a.nxious to acquire our
business and our organization, up
to the present time we have not put
any price on same, and he has not
made us an offer.
"Even if Mr. Armour should pur
chase our business it would not
mean that 'we would remain long
out of the packing business."
This last, observers pointed out.
