CONSTABLE BILL WINS .
IN NEW YORK SENATE
Measure for State Police Like Penn
sylvania's Carries Over Pro
test of Labor .
ALBANY. March 21. Over the protests
of organized labor tho Senate passed, by a
vote of 26 to 24, the Mills bill creating four
troops of State Constabulary of forty-five
men each, with officers. The Democrats,
who otcd almost solidly against it, char
acterized the bill ns "a patronage producer"
because the police, who will recched $900 a
ear each and their commander $5000, will
be selected without civil service examina
tion. The bill appropriates W00, 000 for sal
aries and expenses. It now- goes to the As
sembly. 'The purpose of establishing a State po
lice, primarily Is to maintain law and order,
and second, properly to cope with industrial
disorders,'' said Senator Mills. "Now labor.
Ing men are urged by their organizations
to Join the National Guard, and If we take
away tho police duties now Imposed upon
the guard. It will enormously encourage
National Guard enlistments among the la.
coring men,"

Carbon pulls down an ordinary

Instead of a destructive element
carbon is the reconstructing life
which makes the Willys-Knight
motor more efficient after thousands
of miles of use than when new.
Think what a practical advantage
this is and how much it adds to the
joy of owning a motor car.
