June halt FAIRCHILD SONS Morticians 86 LEFFERTS PLACE BROOKLY! 46 CLINTON AVE. JAMAICA No. 7 of a series BELIEVE SUICIDE OF DETECTIVE WAS DUE TO DEMOTION Battalora, Despite Splendid Record, Had Been Ordered Back to Patrol Duty.

Brooding over a turn in department politics that took away his rank of detective sergeant and would have put him back to pounding the pavements, while he was 011 sick leave, is believed to have been the cause last night of Detective Charles J. Battalora commiting suicide by shooting himself through the temple, in his home, 926 Lincoln pl. The order directing Battalora, 18 years department and one of its prominent, sleuths, back to patrol duty by Commissioner Enright Saturday, and was to have taken effect yesterday morning. It was "for the good of the service." But Battalora did not report for duty yesterday in the Hamilton ave. station, to be examined to go a back to duty.

In the afternoon, he urged his wife to take their two small children out to visit children, excusing himself from accompanying them. am expecting important telephone calls," he said. Mre. Battalora and the children returned about 9 o'clock. They found the broken detective stretched on the floor by his beside, a revolver in his right hand which had been discharged.

Dr. Schiff. of Swedish Hospital, said that he had been dead half an hour. Battalora, who was 41, joined the police force as a patrolman in April. 1906.

Three years later he was promoted to detective. He was known in the department as an athlete, boxer and swimmer. Working on the Italian squad, under Lt. Vachris and the late Lt. Petrosino, Battalora.

ured in the breaking up of the "Luno the Wolf" gang and the St. Patrick's Cathedral bombing case, and later was prominent in the bomb squad. In 1920 he single -handed, boarded a speeding motorcar and captured six gunmen suspects, for which act he was presented with a gold watch by his associates. Mrs. Battalora told the police that her husband seemed unusually cheerful when she left him yesterday afternoon.

One theory in nolice circles is that the telephone call the detective expected would have told him that his demotion had been rescinded, but that the call did not come. Battalora in Brooklyn had been attached to stu tion and the 11th Oetective Division. DEATHS SMITH--On Sunday, Feb. 10, 1924, GEORGE beloved husband of Ann Eliza Smith and father of Elizabeth G.

Two inches of snow spread a thin counterpane over the city today, a force of 3,000 men fretted that spare garment as moths do a woolen coat and with the sun as a strong ally there was little left of the winter's first real approach to a snowfali by noon, except pools of slush. There was just enough snow to put this winter out of the running ag the season of least snowfall and it still has some distance to run, so the snowfall figures may look more like a normal winter's output before the end of March.

At present there is no more in sight. Fair weather is on the cards for today; tomorrow is vet on the knees of the gods. The storm started out like a real snowfall of the old-fashioned kind but it petered out before noon yesterday and caused little inconvenience to traffic. As it was under the three-inch mark the contractors were not called upon to handle the snow removal job for the city, which was taken care of by the Street Cleaning Department and a few extra men. The main thoroughfares were cleared in short order.

Six thousand members of the Street Cleaning Depurtment were reinforced by a full complement of plows and sweepers which sent the snow whirling off the trolley tracks so that there was next to no delay anywhere. There were remarkably few car acidents, but the first coasting of the winter called forth an army of small boys with "flexible flyers" and was responsible for the first coasting accident. Joseph Shea, I New York. N. sliding down 3 years of age, of 109 18th West, steep hill North Bergen on his sled came in contact with a motorcar operated by Kenneth Roberts of 134 South North Bergen, and the boy's head struck the hub cap of the car.

His skull was fractured. The snowfall cost the city very little, for it was all handled by the Street Cleaning Department. Thomas D. McElhenie of 266 Ryerson st. wrote to The Eagle today protesting that crocuses "have some sense." "This morning," he said, "in the little flicker of snow I bethought me to life the box I had turned over to crocuses and saw only the brown earth.

They had sense enough to draw their noses in." Radio Tables Designed with the same thought and care that has made our Office Furniture Distinctive. Salmon, Clunie Walker, Inc. OFFICE FURNITURE SPECIALISTS 8 Court Square (Formerly Boerum Place) Triangle 6277-78 BOURGEOIS MAJORITY IN THURINGIAN DIET Berlin, Feb. 11-The elections the Thuringian Diet, although the final returns are not yet available, indicate that the Socialists, who previously have had a majority in that body, have suffered a crushing defeat and will be replaced by a bourgeois bloc. Between 80 and 90.

cent of the electorate in Thuringia voted, and the result is cited as an example of the general swing toward conservation which is occurring in Germany, which politicai prophets predict will be duplicated at the general elections for the Reichstag, in June. The election for the Diet of the Free State of Lubeck also has converted a Socialist majority into a ininority against the Bourgeoisie. Diamond a Good Athlete But Not Sportsman- Love Senator William Lathrop Love in addressing the members the St. Paul's Congregational Church Saturday evening stressed the need of early religious training and also the value of athletics.

Philadelphia, Feb. 11 If "Duckboards" Butler, the Marine brigadier general whom Philadeiphia called on to conduct its civic immaculation, is still in office a3 Director of Public Safety at the end of the year which he promised his old home town, those who know him best will be the most surprised. To maintain his fight against the city's plethora of Butler will have to face continuously the most tireless and opposi tion he ever knew.

Were directly against him he would find it easier to withstand. But it is against his prop, Mayor Kendrick; and the Mayor, as stanch as he has been so far, is not nearly so firmly fixed as Butler. The tooth-and-nail battle against liquor selling and prostitution wili continue right on up to the end of Butler's year, and Butler will still be there, if Kendrick holds out. Otherwise, there will be no Butler in office, and, in all probability, no fight against liquor and prostitution. There has been nothing in the Mayor's attitude up to the present to indicate that he will weaken.

On the contrary, he has driven off vigorous attacks. But Kendrick is, after all, the representative of the Republican organization known as the old Penrose crowd, and the of the regular De boys in it, who, dismayed and distressed at the turn events have taken, are crowding him daily, may eventually have some results. Butler's confidence in his sole official support, Kendrick, has been, orally at least, most impressive. He may, in fact, be protesting too strongly. Defends the Mayor.

"The Mayor and I are, officially, one person," he declares. "Who attacks him attacks me." Yet recently Butler's hair-trigger temper went off at a time the Mayor's decision in a characteristic case had not been announced to him, and in a rage he declared that he was "tired" job which brought SO much potential, interference. In this case steady stream of politicians had gone to Mayor Kendrick with a complaint regarding the dismissal of a policeman by Butler. The policeman had a brother who knew somebody who knew a councilman. It was a serious matter firing such A man.

Kendrick listened patiently to the complaint. He called for Butler. Butler angrily held his original position in the matter. Then he went out of the room, back to his office, and spilled a few furious words on the situation. Subsequently Mayor Kendrick upheld his Director of Public Safety and the trifling crisis was passed successfully.

It is just such situations as that which men who are closest to Butler fear. Left alone, given support, he will fight until doomsday. But at the first intimation of interference, at the first sign that his absolute rule may be threatened, Butler is going to throw his keys into his desk, grab his hat and walk out, back to Quantico and the marines. Politics is what he has most to fear. He is quite capable of coping with the distressful Philadelphia police force, one of the most difficult tasks which ever faced a vigorous commander.

This itself is a two or three-man job. Police Seem Helpless. There is something pitiful about the Philadelphia police. One may read ever so often in the Philadetphia papers such items as. man and his wife were also helo on charges of interfering with an officer.

Bei Rui the ca 81 Gen Eas Vla Ope passes in Philadelphia shows them to be of a class three or four degrees below the New York type. They are older, flabbier. In a force of 5,000 Butler was able to And no less than 350 who are physically unable to walk a beat for the stipulated eight hours a day. It was given out that the average age of the torce was 55 years, and if this was a joke it could not be told by looking at the policemen.

They look as if 55 would be quite a fair estimate. In addition, they had sunk pretty thoroughly into the comfort of laxness. Wearing their uniforms, listening to their radio concerts, arresting such motorists as violated the innumerable traffic laws there, stumbling over a crime now and then--this seemed to have been the extent of their duties. None but a blind or a "Axed" cop could have failed to see some of the things going on here before Butler came. Rules With Iron Hand.

Butler made things hum. He esa tablished his 48-hour drives. They were repeated over and over again. He "broke" the officers. He "knocked the blocks off" nine of them.

He "knocked the blocks off" nearly 30 patrolmen. In one instance he lifted the whole personnel of one precinct bodily to another precinct on the theory that the men would have no temptations where they were strangers. He found two lieutenants, Holton and Connolly, who showed every sign of being good, honest cops and he has used them as whips, transferring them to new districts which need cleaning. He conceived all manner of strange schemes for catching liquor drinkers. One was to dress his detectives in dress suits and sit them in the dining rooms of fashionable hotels to watch for drinking.

And then when they lined up before him. he called them "the hardest looking bunch of thugs' he'd ever seen. A dress suit would have been no disguise for these men. If there is anywhere that Butler's drive has failed to make a mark it is in his detective It is understandable if a speak easy manages to elude the notice of a uniformed policeman. but there is no reason why his plainclothes men should not be able to locate the many places that are still open.

They have been quite successful in locating stills and Butler seems satisfied with this, on the theory that the stills and the warehouses are main sources of supply. They are, of course, but they are not the sole sources. New York still provides a good market for the barrooms. Butler Stands By Men. Butler last week took recognition of the chaos into which his autocratic methods have thrown the situation.

In addressing his lieutenants he told them that they need not fear reprisals from the powers upon his departure. "I told them," he said to the writer, "that if there seemed any danger of getting into trouble as the result of their doing their jobs I would be willing to stay here the entire four years of Mayor Kendrick's administration, so as to protect them. are satisfied here in Philadelphia that our campaign is bringing results. We are all a little love family. All the criticism we get is from New York and other out-oftown newspapers.

They all seem to think this is a joke or a hypocritical move. "Well, all I can say is, to Hell with New York. She's got plenty to do to clean up her own town, without criticizing Philadelphia. All you do in New York is to shift your officers from one place to another and drag out orders issued in 1921 and suddenly call on them to be obeyed. That's your idea of cleaning up.

"We are not fooling ourselves that Philadelphia is totally clean but we have made progress. We intend to keep on. I'm going to stick here until it goes through right. We are going to grab liquor law violators everywhere Bellevue-Stratford we can as find well them, as in in the dives--no matter where they are, we pre going after them." He worked himself into such a temper over the criticism of New York papers. though, that one suspected that he might possibly work himself into another such temper, or one worse.

and. as many Philadelphians predict, walk right out. I1 wouldn't be SO strange in such a man Reg der Yor the Ope toxi Kn toxi ulat tion His One Bro Mic any to nan A lion Fit.
