A Life of the Elder Booth.

To the Editor:
I have what think must be quite a rare book.
It Is life OF the elder Booth written by his
daughter and published in 1865. The title Is
Passages. Incidents and Anecdotes Of the Life
OF Junius Brutus Booth" In this book there Is a
very beautiful portrait OF him as Richard ILL.,,
taken In London In 1920. when he was twenty
four years old. Some time ago there was an
article printed In ono OF the New York papers
about noble people and their photographs. The
person who wrote It thought there was very
little chance OF there being a likeness OF the
elder Booth in existence. so I think the picture
must be quite valuable. 1t is really a very fne
portrait Appended to the book are copies Of all
the old play bills from Booths FIRST engagement.
In 1913. to his last in 1862, with. OF course the
names OF all the actors and actresses that took
part with him both in Europe and America

HOW FAR DOES IT REACH1

| There Is no one now who doubts, or
would seriously attempt to deny. thar the
police of New York have been In the
habit of levyng a tax for protection"
on the keepers OF illegal resorts. The
plea that the witnesses who testify to
having paid the blackmail are lawless
and immoral characters. who cannot be
believed on oath, grows weaker and
weaker as Its insuficiency becomes more
and more apparent. II you ignore the tes-
| timony OF such persons now, 1t would be
impossible to obtain any evidence OF the
wrong which undoubtedly exists. The
money is In all cases paid by the law
breaker into the hands OF the police. No
third person is present. who, besides the
law-breaker. can testify to the transac-
tion?
II single person, or II two or three
persons should appear before the Lexow
Committee and swear to having paid
bloodmoney to the police, It might be
possible to believe that they were perjur-
ing themselves for revenge or to escape
prosecution for their offenses against the
law. But when numbers of witnesses tes-
tify to the same thing, when their stories
tally In all the details. when they give
the correct names of the officers to whom
they claim to have paid money. and when
their statements are corroborated In
many ways, the cry OF perjury becomes
ridiculous.
The fact Of systematic blackmail by the
police being conceded, the question Is,
How far does 1t reach?
1t will be remembered that the man
pria ba 80 10 a,.I
sort. testified that he had paid two thou
sand two hundred dollars for police pro-
lection In single year. and that five
houses In the same block had paid about
the same amount each. The proprietors
or some OF the other dens confirmed his
statement. So that from six houses In
single block on one street. In that cheap
locality. the police received at this rate
over fourteen thousand dollars In year.
But the evidence fixes the fees for such
disorderly houses at nifty dollars month.
with hve hundred dollars for every change
of Captains In precinct, and one hun
dred dollars for Christmas present.
futtlng the average tax or such places at
one thousand dollars year, fve hundred
OF them would yield an annual black
mall revenue OF half million dollars.
When to this sum are added the fees
levied on gambling-houses unlicensed sa-
ioons' policy shops and other illegal pur-
suits; when 1t is remembered that the
tribute exacted from the gilded palaces
OF Vice In the Tenderloin" and other
uptown precincts is probably four times
as high as that demanded OF a Bayard
street bagnio. and when the number Of
