RACKETS AND 1 BOOZE ROUTED BY SCHOFIELD Vast Inroads Are Made by Philly’s Police Head Against Saloons. This Is tbe last of a series of three articles describing: law enforcement activities of JLemuel B. Schofield, director of ouWic safety of Philadelphia. r ■ BY PALL COMLY FRENCH United Press Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA. March 20. Shortly after a resolution demanding an Investigation into the legality of police raids under Director , of Public Safety Lemuel B. Schofield was tabled in council, police raided thirty-five homes in the Italian section of West Philadelphia. Hundreds of gallons of homemade wine were confiscated and the owners arrested. The same evening, Captain Reynolds and a plainclothes patrolman of the Germantown district, conducted a raid on the parish house of the fashionable Protestant Episcopal church of St. Peter s in Germantown. James Taylor, assistant superintendent of police, who was formerly inspector in charge of the liquor , raiding squad, explained that Captain Reynolds had searched the parish house as a result of an anonymous telephone tip that it was , being used as a “drop” for a notorious bootlegger. Lashed by Coach Roper Taylor said it was a regrettable incident and “that the sooner it was forgotten the better it would be.” Councilman Roper demanded • that the safety director appear before council for questioning. Schofield appeared and nonchalantly took a verbal lashing from the burly Princeton coach and white-haired Charles B. Hall, former president of council, and now floor leader of the organization. Roper charged that police made raids without evidence of a sale, issued warrants on anonymous telephone calls, issued “blank’’ search and seizure warrants, used false affidavits of purchase of liquor, seized liquor under pretense of “looking for fugitives,” mistreated residents during the course of raids and stole from the homes during raids. He demanded the resignation of the director. Schofield refused. “Director Schofield has saved the city from the racketeers which control Chicago and New York,” Mayor Mackey said. “He has made mistakes in enforcing the state liquor laws, but is doing his duty.” Racketeers Driven Out The mayor declared that Schofield has, in two and a half years, transformed Philadelphia from a city with a police bureau shot full of graft and corruption into one of the best policed cities in the country. When Schofield became director he organized the motor bandit patrol, which is considered responsible for the capture of hundreds of bandits and auto thieves and was responsible for the rapid disappearance of the beer gangs. Then he started a drive on gambling and disorderly houses and dih rected his men to drive them from the city. He ordered his men to break up the cleaning and dyeing racket, which was taking thousands of dollars from legitimate business. He’s Tough on Saloons m When magistrates show r ed leniency toward those having political , influence, Schofield himself went before them and demanded why the accused persons had been dismissed. Duilng the course of his enforcement of the blue laws, 1,722 persons were arrested the first six months. Automobile thefts were reduced over 1929 by nearly 25 per cent, and the city became so dry that thirsty Philadelphians were forced to journey across the river to Camden, N. J.. for their beer. In August of 1928, when the grand jury commenced their investigation, the city had 1.187 saloons, but now. according to Superintendent Mills, there are only eleven left. doglnToys music and HE KNOWS HIS TUNES Claim Philadelphia Boston Bull Can Distinguish Various Melodies, By United, Press PHILADELPHIA, March 20.—1n Philadelphia there is a Boston bull who enjoys music. ' And furthermore, he not only enjoys it, but can distinguish tunes. His name is Buddy and he is owned by Mathew J. Mueller, a violinist in the Philadelphia orchestra. He can dance, and if you whistle the “Dancing Doll” he will stand on his hind legs and whirl around and i around. Play the “Merry Widow Waltz” and he seems to realize that it requires more dignity, so he slows down his steps a bit. Whistle “Nearer My God to Thee” and he places his head between his legs in prayer, while the stirring • strains of the “Star-Spangled Banner” will send him up on his hind legs at attention until the last note fades out. ARKANSAS FAMILY'S” HOME IN 2 COUNTIES Sit Around Their Fireside in Irard, Sleep in Sharp. By United Press EVENING SHADE, Ark.. March 20.—Members of W.* B. Edwards’ family sit around their fireside in Izard county and go to bed in Sharp county. The line between the two counties runs in the front door of the Edward home and out the back door, dividing the house in half. The family cooks in one county and eats its meals in another as the line cuts the room in half. When time came for paying his poll tax, Edwards was given his choice of counties. He chose Sharp and has been identified with nearly all major enterprises in the county. PERFECT FOR 42 YEARS Postman Retires After Long Record Without Absence, Tardiness.

Already the thunder of dynamite and the chug and clank of huge steam shovels resound at Boulder Dam, Nevada, where preliminary work has begun on the government's great five-year project.

After remaining at a record-break-ing low water stage practically all winter, the Wabash river rose five feet from Sunday to Wednesday noon, when the crest appeared to have been reached. Rains and snow during the last few days were responsible for the rise. In spite of the five-foot rise the stage was still twenty-one feet under flood mark. Never before in the memory of local river men lias the water in the Wabash been so low during an entire winter.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TOWN SPURNS TAXESREFUND Highwoods, Marion County, Doesn’t Need Money. Highwoods is a town in Marion county which doesn't want “anything to do with money.” The town’s legal advisers. Bingham & Bingham, plainly said so in a letter to State Auditor Floyd E. Williamson. The letter returned a check for the town’s share in the state gasoline tax fund sent out by William P. Cosgrove, chief deputy auditor, based on 1930 census reports. Amount of the check was $13.39. “The town of Highwoods does not anticipate income or expense,” the lawyers’ letter stated. Treasurer of the town of Spring Hills in Marion county could not be found and the letter containing their check was returned unopened. Both are exclusive suburban residential sections. Letters from seven other Indiana towns also were returned because Uncle Sam couldn’t find the place. One of them had a population listed in the 1930 census at more than 1,000, Cosgrove declared. The towns are Mt. Auburn, Bowling Green, Huron, Woodla Heights, Greendale, Alladin and Gimco City.
