To crack a person on the head with
bottle Is a serious otfense. This is what
Maywilliams did to May Burkett, and
it cost the Williams woman only fifteen
dollars and costs to amuso herself in
this way.
Ithas long been known that this
notorious woman OF the town could do
about as she pleased so far as the police
are concerned, and that any other
woman of her own stamp who wished
to live in Wheeling would do we'll to let
her alone. Williams has been the OBJ
ject Of special guardianship, not to
see that she respected the law, but to
see that she was not interfered with for
breaking the law. .eFeY rgi,
The members Of the Council commit
tee on police understand the case.
They. know why Williams is protected,
who protects her and why and by whom
other prostitutes are warned not to
make themselves obnoxious to Will
Jams. They can easily determine what
are the natural results Of this sort of an
arrangement in the police department,
whether it contributes to the respect
which the people should have for that
department, and whether a police de-
partment so conducted is likely to
render the measure Of efficiency which
the people expect when they pay their
money to support it.
The subordinates of the department
must wink at what goes on-or lose
their heads. The committee on police
owes it to the people to take such
action as eau be taken, and to take it
promptly. There is no longer any
secret about it. The time has come to
take the bull by the horns.
