COPS ABSOLVED OF MISCONDUCT AT RUM JOINT Testimony of Dry Agent Fails to Link Officers to Bootlegger. Charges of misconduct filed against patrolmen. Charles A. Schwinn and Julius Reinklng as result of a federal dry agent s statement were refuted at a trial belcre the safety board late Tuesday, when the ttto officers were acquitted. They were reinstated as officers after the trial. The dry agent, Harmon Crossley, testified the two officers entered a lunchroom on Madison avenue south of Troy avenue the night of April 1, after Crossley said he . had purchased drinks of liquor in the back room. He testified that Rose Montesonte, who served the drinks, later removed the drinks hurriedly, then returned them, saying that a police squad car had driven up, but the officers were “all right.” Feigned Intoxication Crossley said both men entereo the front part of the lunchroom, accepted cigars from him and that one of them helped him open his car door after he stumbled, feigning intoxication, although he said he had not imbibed any liquor. Schwinn —who, Crossiey testified later, was assigned to the prohibition squad, and had proved “very helpful” to dry agents—said he entered the place seeking a telephone, but left when he found the place had no phone. He admitted accepting the cigars for Reinking, who, he said, did not leave the squad car. He test ified he had been assigned to that district for the first time an hour before the incident occurred, and never had seen the proprietors before or since. Denied by Legger Crossley’s testimony also was denied by Frank Paulino, employe of the place, who was convicted on liquor charges in municipal court several weeks ago. The agent was unable to identify the two officers, his report of the incident merely mentioning the officers’ badge numbers, which he said he observed at the time. The policemen placed Lawrence E. Fanning, police record clerk, on the stand to testify that a call was received at police headquarters, asking the names and badge numbers of officers in Squad Car 40, the one driven by Schwinn and Reinking. Paulino denied serving any liquor to Crossley, claiming he sold only dry beer, which Crossley “may have spiked.” TWO GET LIQUOR FINES IN POOR BOXROBBERY Couple Who Sold Liquor to Church Bandits Also Draw Terms.

RACKETS RULIN6 U. S. BUSINESS, PARLEY IS TOLD * Criminal Has Strangle Hold on Nation, Claim of Chicago Leader. By United Prtss WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.—The criminal, formerly a mere tool in the racketeering that is costing Americans millions of dollars annu- | ally, has worked his way up to the control of many forms of business,; the national conference on govern- j ment has been told. Gordon L. Hostetter, executive I director of the Employers’ Association of Chicago, estimated racketeers are costing Chicago $165,000,000 a year. ( “Multiply the cost of , that one i city by the ultimate cost to all the cities and farms of America and you have an appalling total. “Experience has demonstrated that racketeering—once thought to be a temporary form of graft or extortion—has developed permanent roots in corrupt politics and business. It is an inside job and a native American product for which business itself is too greatly responsible.” Hostetter said “the true racket” is Composed of these four elements: 1. The business man, business group or association or business men. 2. The leader or leaders of organized labor. 3. The criminal underworld. 4. The politician. “Racketeering has undergone a change for the worse in the last two years,” he declared. “Whereas several years ago organizations of business men and labor organizations principally were responsible, with the criminal acting merely as a tool or agent, the criminal now is gaining ascendancy. “What is more alarming, organized criminality is directipg its efforts toward control of business and labor as a means of perpetuating itself, regardless of whether its peculiar field of activity is destroyed by the repeal or modification of the eighteenth amendment. The sole Intent of this conspiracy obviously is exploitation of the public.”
