Philadelphia, Jan. THE participa-
tion of police authorities in politics, and
their connection with questionable re-
sorts, was narrated this afternoon at
the meeting Of the senatorial investi-
eating committee.
Prior to the session. Chairman An
drews and Silas w. Petit, the attorney
for the committee. appeared before
Judges Yerkes, in the quarter sessions
court, and Mr.. Petit asked that the
case of the commonwealth against
Julia Crow. who is charged with keep
ing a disorderly house, be continued
The case was fixed for trial today.
He advanced as a reason that the de-
PENDANT was desired as witness before
the investigating committee in refer
ence to certain connections which the
police department Is alleged to have had
with keeDrs Of disorderly houses. He
also said, 1t appeared. that pressure
had been brought to bear to have the
case tried at this time. in order that It
might terrorize other persons engaged
In the same business. who We're also de-
sired as witnesses by the committee.
District Attorney Graham In reply
said that he desired to refute the I'M
putatiOn that the trial of his case was
hurried for any other purpose than that
the ends OF Justice might be served.
Judge Yerkes continued the case for
one week.
Several policemen and ex-policemen
testified. before the committee, to the
political activity of the police in the
Fifteenth ward. These witnesses who
had been discharged from the force, as
cribed Republican fractional differences
to the friendliness to Senator Quay as
the real cause for their dismissal.
