The officers confscsteo the product and put
it up 1T auction. A peculiar thing hsp-
pened. The Canadian bid it in at fairly
low figure, and then spirited it away to
Plsttsburg and sold it. Some Of Collector
Dustln's officers followed and discovered
ihst each one OF those Jars contained two
gallons of pure Csna5ian rye whisky put

that it pays TO take life easy.
He is fine-iooking mao, above the aver

Grand Jury Charges New York
Police With Corruption,
Saying that Tho City Is Pull Of Infamous
Resorts
Known TO Police Who Make No Effort to
Suppress Them.

NEW YoRK, April THE grand iary
has been investigating the evidence pre-
sented by Rev. DR.. Parkhurss and his
agents IS to the existarce of gambling and
iisorderly houses ss well rs the general
violation Of the excise Law. ~ithout inter
ference BY the police aud brought in pre-
sentiment this afternoon,
The rreseLtn.nt says that il 10 apparent
to sil that gambling houses, houses ef
prostitution and saloons are open Ia vlols
ton Of the Law, the police being fully
aware Of their existance. 1ha only RAIDS
made upon them are msde by eitz ms.
Police rules provide 'hu the captain OF
each precinct shall send u police head
qas,isrs . list Of gambling And disorderly
houses in their respective precincts. Such
reports are made, and although the law
gives power to the superintendent TO issue
hi. own warrant and have his officers break
into such places Without going into court,
such proceedings have no, been taken.
la fact there is no appearance Of police
Interference with gambling houses, houses
OF prostitution and saloon keepers who vic
late the excise law.
From such facts the grand jury say the
best reasons for condembing The Inactivity
Of the police are presented. They are
either incompetent TO do what the citizens
have done, or are open to charges Of eIr-
ruption.
The general efficiency Of the police and
their ability TO cope with crime 10 second to
no other city; therefore the grand jury has
T 0 alternative but to adopt the theory Of
co rrupEior as reasons for their inactivity in
the matters mentioned.
Some Good Done.
The first raid precipitated by the dit-
Of Dr. Parkhufs, and the present.
ment OF the grand jury occurred here At
midnight. The police ,wooped down on a
swell establishment, the Florida House,
and arrested ten men and seven women
The grand jury today denounced certain

vertisements.
