Two Detectives Are Suspended After Bond Sift Two detective lieutenants, A. R.

Rosselli and S. Lopez, yesterday were suspended by Captain of Detectives Home after he had pen-on- ally investigated a case upon which they had worked. The case was that of C. O. Bryant, living at 1117 North Church street, who reported the loss of two $100 Liberty Bonds near the Postoffice.

According to Capt. Home, the two susponded men discovered that the bonds had been found by Santos Moreno. Moreno told them he had sold the bonds for $150 and the detectives admitted, it is asserted, that Moreno turned this money over to them. Mr. Btwant wrote to Cnpt.

Home, stating that he had not received this money, although the detective lieutenants told tholr chief that they had mailed the money In a police envelope to its owner. Capt. Home said they had not reported recovery of the money to him, an oversight which is in violation of police regulations. The two men had been members of the police force here for two years past.

Merchants Feci Complaint is Groundless Write Mayor to Withhold Investigation Ash Opportunity be Given Chief to Explain declaring that the charges made gainst the police department are lacking in facts, the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association in a letter to Mayor Oyer yesterday, uggrested that he defer any investigation or action in the matter until Chief of Police Oaka is given an opportunity to answer hia critics in person "in a legal and just manner," The communication points out even ii ms cnargea are true "there exist properly organiaed channels' to investigate them, and that the police department is entitled to the fullest possible protection from unsubstantiated charges in order that its morale may be maintained. The letter follows: June 12, 1933.

Hon. George E. Oyer. Mayor, Los Angeles. Cal.

Dear Sir: We have learned through the local nev.spapers that eenous charges of inefficiency of the police department have been presented to you and that you have the matter now under consideration. This association has always be. lteved in and practiced the principles of law and order and absolute justice in all matters pertaining to the welfare of this community. We believe, because the broad charges against the police department are so general and so lacking in facts to substantiate them, that in the Interest of the reputation of this community and the moral effects these charges may create, not only in this city, but throughout tho country, the morale and discipline of the entire department should bo protected to the fullest extent. And furthermore, we are convinced that, even if those charges are true, there exist properly organized channels that do and will make a thorough investigation of any department under vour con trol.

I In order to obtain the most effl- cient performance of duty by the police department it must have the absolute confidence of the entire community, and tn view of the present agitation we urge that you postpone all investigations until the Chief of Police returns from hia leave of absence, and that he be given an opportunity to meet all charges made by hia accusers in a legal and just manner. The recent election has absolutely proved that you have the confidence of this community, and Jn view of that fact we urge tnat any investigation which you may deem necessary as to the activities and proper performance of the police department be left in your hands without any undue influence from outside sources. i ours very truly, MERCHANTS' AND MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION, F. J. Zeehandelaar, Secretary.

COUNCIL ASKED TO MOVE NERVE WRECKER A sawdust cutter Wrecking "the nerves and" health'" of residents In the vicinity of Swanson venue and Menlo street, according to a lengthy petition received by the City Council yesterday demanding the cutter be removed.

Pag) hind closed doors, "friendly Chat." The graud jury was in eesslon all day, but apparently had not Insti-tuted an investigation of crime conditions in Los Angeles and the asserted connection of public officials with criminals. This was requested in resolutions passed Sunday at the mass meeting addressed in Trlnjty Methodist Church by Dr.

Shuler and Dr. Briegleb. "No official request for such an Investigation has been presented to me," said Keyes, "and until such is the caae I tshall make no recommendation to the grand jury. So far as I know the grand jury lias not inaugurated such an Invpstlgalton." The visit of the ministers to Mr. Keyes was in the nature of a friendly conference.

It was stated by them as they left the Hall of Records. "We wanted to felicitate Mr. Keyes upon his appointment," said Dr. Briegleb, "and assure him of our co-oporation In routing out criminals." A demand that Deputy Chief of Police Hilf retract statements attributed to him, in which the ministers were referred to as "vaude-villians doing their act" and performing "tricks and antics." was maun by ministers yesterday. At a conference in Mayor Cryer'a office this morning the ministers asked Deputy Chief Hllf if he had authorised or made such a statement.

Hilf dented that he had issued the quoted remarks. At that, a repudiation was presented and a request made for his signature. This Hilf refused to do, declaring that since he had not given out the statement it did not follow that ho should lgn a-retraction. APPEAL TO MAYOR Drs. Shuler and Briegleb then appealed to Mayor Cryer, but he declined to intervene, saying that It was a matter for Hilf and the ministers to thresh out between themselves.

"As I an. not responsible for these assertions," said Hllf, "I do not feel called upon to accedo to the demands of the gentlemen. It Is Unfortunate ti-at they think I criticised them In that language, but as I did not do so I prefer not to sign a repudiation." No charges agaitirt Capt. Plum-mcr, who minced no words In the mass meeting Sunday, and Hilf, are scheduled to be filed before ho Police Commission by the two minister. Dr.

Brleglb caid yesterday "When we presented the resolutions to the Mayor, Monday," said Dr. Briegleb, "we criticlr-ed the language used by Capt. Flummer. I feel that he went far beyond the necessities of the occasion in making hia meaning clear, but I know ho is a good police officer and one who should remain on the force." Mayor Cryer said yesterday that he still had under consideration the request of the ministers that Chief of Police Oaks be removed. Chief Oaks is now.

in the East, where he Is attending the convention ot police chiefs in Buffalo, N. Y. DEN CITY" "WIVE OPE" Denials that the city is "wide open" were made yesterday by Hilf and Mayor Cryer. "Los Angeles is as clean as any olty in the country," said Hilf, "and there Is no need for hysteria. The police department has the situation well in hand.

THE JAZZ BAND The famous 1 85,000.000 "jaxz" band Bhould not be forgotten. For six daya the band rode sround the city on a decorated city truck, playing, "Mr. Gallagher and Mr.

Sheaji." Trucks are worth $25 a day, when a taxpayer hires them. Gasoline costs 17 to 19 cents a Nine eltv employees playing "Jazz" tunes when they should be collecting water and power bins also represent a loss to tho taxpayers. A jpretty young Birl stood at Third and Broadway for several days smiling at passing autolsts and beguiling them Into permitting her to her to stick a "power bond" Sticker on the windshields of their; machines. Some one paid for the stickers. Some one paid the pretty youngf Sirl.

It was the taxpayer. HX HUNDRED CLERKS Water and power department employees went from door to door In tho city distributing circulars asking votes for the power bond Days and nights and Sundays 600 clerks worked at the Public Serv. Ice Building addressing envelopes and folding circulars and extra clerks were hired by the dozen and tho groHti. Maybe, tho lliblio Service, Commission's official statement of its expense will itemize this expenwe, an well an the time lost to tho taxpayers of city employee laying aside their duties to do political work. Maybe not.

Ths public-service department admitted yesterday that those painted banners strung across the street urging the nice voters to please, oh, please, vote for the power bonds "They won't cost a cent only 135,000,000," cost real money. The painters could not be Jollied Into working for nothing. There were fifteen of these banners, and it is said that they cost $50 each, t. o. b.

the paint shop, i and so the commission had to pay extra to have steeplejacks hang tho banners across the streets. Leading a merry race with the public-service department to see which could spend the most money to boost the power bonds were the said mysterious municipal-, ownership organizations, associations, leagues and clubs. These officially functioned from offices in the Delta Building, and seemingly had abundant cash to print and distribute 400,000 copies of the "Voter's Gazette," telling of the glories of Boulder Canyon and plaintively asking for a loan of $35,000,000 for Dr. John R. Haynea's public-service commission, and also attacking and scorn- ing Councilman Mushet for having the effrontery to save $1,000,000 for the tax payers by knocking Into a cocked hat the secret sale of the $13,500,000 power bonds.

These "organizations" issued neat little cards by the thousands, asking the voters to east their ballots for John R. Haynes for the Board of Freeholders and for the Oxnam ticket for the Board of Education which went down to a 100 per cent defeat and always ending up, the little cards dtd, by asking for some more votes for the power bonds. Strangely, most strangely, these cards found their ways into the pockets of the city water and power collectors and were kindly left at the doors of tho citizens. The organizations also sent out letters and post cards by the thousands, but under the law, these "organizations" are not required to tell the nubile whence their funda came or how they were spent. SOME DEXIALS Officials of the public-service department were strong on denials when asked yesterday if the commission had phllanthroplcally contributed any power-revenue money to, these associations.

The officials also denied that any of the political campaign bills were paid from water revenues The public-service department officials also denied that the last-minute attack on Los Angeles In support of the power bonds by a car load of orators from, the Imperial Valley, headed by Congressman Swing, was financed by the department from Us power revenues, political branch. When the great flood of campaign literature for the power bonds descended upon the citj about a week before the election, Special Counsel Mathews of the public-service commission admit, ted that some little campaigning was being done and that It was being? paid for from power revenues, which are, by the mere. Ignorant taxpayer, supposed to be used for repairs on the power sys-tern and for paying Interest and sinking fund requirements on power bonds, and If there is sny surplus left, this was to be used toward a gradual reduction in the consumers' bills for service. "No," said Mr. Mathews, In efTect.

"This Is not correct. The revenues could be used for publicity, as this was a legitimate expense of a business corporation, and the power department was not Just liko any other branch of the city government. It was a business concern." He did not say whether It was the public's business concern or Dr. John R. Haynes's.

Tho commission In Its resolution yesterday said that It had "found It necessary in the recent municipal campaign to Incur necessary expenses to inform the voters of this city "concerning the $35,000,000 power bond issue." and to meet a pressing publlo demand for reliable data upon the subject. "That the commission lias somewhat misjudged the depth of the alleged mad desire on the part of the publlo to know about the power bond Issue was shown by the fact that the power bonds lacked 11.803 votes of having the necos-sary two-thirds on a total cast on the proposition of 79,790, while the other five bond Issues were carried to victory by an abundance of votes over and above the two-thirds necessary. Tho Harbor Commission carried on nn campaign from Its revenues for tho $13,000,000 harbor bonds, the work being done by tho Chain her of Commerce and other olvlo organizations at their expense. Tho harbor bonds enrried. And tho I'lttygroiiud Conuiii.lon ear rled on no campaign from Its funds for Its 9 playgrounds bonds.

And thco bonds curried. And the $35,000,000 power bonds alone, of all the bond Issues were detested. i '4 i a 1 5 'Medea A PRESENTATION of th "Medea" of Euripides by the senior class will be the fea ture of senior week at Occidental College.

"The memory of quality remains long after the price is forgotten." rt'', 'm Ida Uzzelle it would be the fairest move if these charges were held back until Chief Oaks returned, and was In a position to face his accusers personally."
