Consul Buia Seeks Spanish Speaking Police Leader for Honduras
A letter read at a meeting requests a Spanish speaking police officer to organize a force in Honduras modeled on New York's system. Policeman J C McGeo, nicknamed Suspender Jim for cowboy tricks, is proposed as the fit candidate. McGeo, fluent in Spanish, joined New York police three years ago. The consul’s request will be considered later. The Toronto News notes arbitration in Behring Sea and warns of air gun use to kill seals defying August ban.
