The board OF police this afternoon sus-
pended all officials in the department in
dicted by the extraordinary grand Jury.
The grand tury's prescntment aHudes at
the outset 20 the work OF the Lexox in
vestigating committee as having spent
months in collecting evidence. ~hlch
while ample TO satisfy the public OF the
existence OF corruption. fell short in most
cases % that which the Law requires 20
establish guilt. I'm our OPINION the re-
port continues. "the great body OF the
sgIsordinatss are honest and capable men.
aud their assistance In our Investigation
would doubtless have proved most valtia-
bic had we been able 10 demand IL, but
without proper orders. accompanied by
hones; and willing suggestions from their
supsriors no aid OF this character Was
practicable. Dsring our entire session no
police oIfsciai. high or low. has volunteer
ed one particle OF aid, nor has any evil
dence whatever been forthcoming from
police officials, except such as has been
drawn from unwilling witnesses"
In conclusion, the report says: THE
la inn f,xf he hes nfr hsa

suit OF favors granted I'm the performance
of official duty may we'll have caused de-
moralization TO the force under his com
mand. The distinction between such IA
vors and direct gratuities ia not one that
his subordinates are likely to appreciate"

excstedly In the corridors with their
chiefs but all professed ignorance az to
