WOMAN JURIST AIDS BUTLER IN CLEAN-UP WORK Million Dollars Worth of Club Property Padlocked in Year. Editors Note—This is tho sixteenth Installment of General Butler's story of his work as head of Philadelphia police and his dismissal early this year. The article® will appear daily. The Times owns exclusive rights to tho articles in this territory. By Smedlejr 1). Butler The early part ot 1925 was marked by complete reorganization of the police, with the redistricting In operation, the new grades installed and the wholesale transfer of officials. In the meantime Governor Pinchot, who at all times backed my efforts to the limit, named a woman to the office of magistrate, to fill a vacancy. He selected Mrs. Violet E. Fahnestock, leader of the W. C. T. U., the first woman magistrate or “judge” in the city. She was heart and soul in the movement and was a great help to the police. Now we could have warrants issued for any sort of place, regardless of political, financial or social influence, as long as we had sufficient evidence of wrongdoing. She played no politics; stood for impartiality In law enforcement and was must anxious to cooperate. She did her best —but before long law violators and the clever criminal lawyers who represented them found a way of obtaining leniency in her court that reduced her effectiveness. Padlocking Continued Padlocking of the properties of law violators continued. Abbott, the special police counsel, was active in preparing cases, and Judge MeDevitt in meting out justice, upholding the integrity of the courts and aiding the cause of law enforcement. More than a score of padlocks were obtained in January and when we checked up w r e learned that in the short period we had been using this effective club, property valued at more than *1,000,000 had been closed and locked for a year. Through warrants Issued by Mrs. Fahnestock, the police were able to raid political clubs that had previously been Immune, because magistrates had refused to issue warrants. Many of these places were raided. Gambling and drinking appeared to be their main purposes. Late in January the district attorney issued a statement showing that in 1924, 1,068 liquor law violaters had been convicted, as aaginst 469 the year before. That sounds great, but it isn’t. In proportion to the increase in liquor /aw offenders' arrested, the nura< her of convictions was fewer than the year before. Nevertheless, it was an improvement. Os those convicted 160 were sent to jail, as against eighty-seven the year before. "Dog Beat Dog” Policy Soon we found that vice suppression was diminishing, that the lid was being tilted somewhat. A study showed that the police lieutenants and captains who had urged that this work be returned to them were falling down. Again we took the work out of their hands, and adopted what I chose to call a "dog eat dog” policy. Secret squads, known as "mystery raiders,” were organized. Inspector of Detectives Brinton was given one such squad, Assistant Superintendent of Police Souder was given another. Souder and Brinton were jealous, making each anxious to outdo the other.

Because the book was on statistics, the sentence must have contained a number. This was either 2 or 21. As it was about a baseball player, It probably contained the word baseball. If you discovered these two facts, the rest of the sentence would not havo been very difficult to find. Following the wavy line you read this sentence, "Tyrus R. Cobb played baseball for twentyone seasons.”

proved much more effective and the underworld suffered. Case raids continued, and with greater success. We raided the Walton Hotel roof—a hostelry In which friends of the mayor were interested financially. We raided virtually every other case. The managements took their cases to the courts when we revoked their dance licenses, but we won the cases. Soon everj- illegtimately conducted cabaret in town was shut tight. Unfortunately, however, we could only revoke dance licenses for ninety-day periods and it was a continual effort. Plumber for Judge Enforcement of the traffic laws, so insistently urged and demanded by .citizens and their organizations, was impossiole, because of the antics of a plumber who had been set up as a magistrate and assigned to sit as Judge of the traffic court. That plumber-judge was Edward Roberts. In January, 1925, Roberts violated a traffic rule in the very heart of the city during the peak rush hour. He was arrested, arraigned, and, of course, discharged by a fellow magistrate. Roberts said he had not seen the sign prohibiting left-hand turns. Roberts became embittered at the police. When traffic court was held the following -week, Roberts brazenly informed, indirectly, the several hundred defendants brought in by police for violations, that he would discharge them if they had not seen the signs. That day, and on subsequent days, no one say any signs. Charles P. Vaughan, Chamber of Commerce president, was arrested at this time for speeding—for going over forty miles an hour. He was arraigned before Roberts, and the two —Roberts sworn to deal out justice and punish offenders and Vaughan head of an organization conducting a vigorous campaign for safe driving and strongly advocating strict enforcement of traffic laws —held a love feast with the wealthy manufacturer patting the plumberjudge on the back. Vaughan was discharged and the policeman was berated for doing his duty. In a three-month period police made 7,900 arrests for traffic ordinance violations. The privilege-demanding classes, through their special financial or political influence, were never summoned to appear. Out of the 7,900 arrested, 6,300 were not even summoned to court. Police Work Nullified Only 1,600 were even summoned, and of that number 1,300 did not appear—having used their influence to have the work of the police nullified. Os the 300 who did appear, only sixty were fined. These sixty persons were lowly ones, undoubtedly, poor and without influential friends. How could any law be enofreed when out of 7,900 persona arrested by police, only sixty were punished? Virtually the same proportion of punishments to arrests was recorded throughout my two years’ stay. Tomorrow General Butler will tell how the arrest of a belligerent Princeton student in a notorious ease, led to further trouble between the Mayor and himself.

Watson has altered his original plan to deliver only one address In Indiana before the primary. according to a ietter received here by Joseph H.

Otto Hlttner, owner of the show boat, Cotton Blossom, now anchored in the Ohio River at Evansville, has brought suit against the Wofljan’s Home Companion because the name of his boat is used in Edna Berber's story, “Show Boat.” He claims he was not paid for the use of the name. The Fairfield Masonic Temple, recently completed, will bo dedicated May 6. Richard C. Davenport, Illinois Grand Master, will officiate . While police over the State are shooting hundreds of stray dogs whose taxes have not been paid, Edwin Moser, living near Geneva, was arrested for “cruelty to animals.” He is said to have shot a dog owned by Richard Briggs. An Oklahoma sheriff and his prisoner “looked funny” to the Brazil police, and Police Chief Amos Falk locked them up for the night. Anew liquor alibi that “worked” was sprung by James Stavo, in Gary city court. Stavo said he had sixteen children and they made him so nervous he had to drink something to quiet his nerves. “Spring is here.” Miss Gloria Kleist of Gary found some wild strawberries in the dunes while she was on a Nature Study Club hike. Several squares on a smooth street in Bluffton are roped off each week for skaters. “Better than having children killed In accidents," the city council said. William Purdue and Fay Crowder, electricians at Evansville, connected the “wrong wires” to the city lighting system and a large section of the city was darkened as a consequence.

BANK PRESIDENT SOUNDSWARNING Evans Woollen Notes Slowing of Business. Whether a slowing of business at the start of the second quarter of 1926 is a readjustment between production and consumption or, the beginning of a recession that may lead into a depression is a question which confronts business men Just now, Evans Woollen, Fletcher Savings and Trust Company president, stated In a business review Issued today. Woollen pointed out that the past three months had been active ones, particularly in automobile production and building construction, but warned that "there is a limit to what even ‘high-powered’ salesmanship and installment buying methods can accomplish and there is doubt whether even they can much longer keep busy an industrial plant with productive capacity beyond unstimulated demand." He stated that bank credit outstanding for the carrying of both real estate and securities, as well as for the carrying of installment purchases, Is great.
