DETERT.S CONFESSION.

Captain Chapman. who Is far famed as po
lice reformer. has been sent 10 the Eldridges'.
station by Chief Devery and the Police COM
missioners for the purpose OF making war on
the illegally and indccently conducted cafes ana
the disorderly persons of the precinct. Inc

arc determined to purify that ncighborhood ana
the police court yesterday morning showed
that they had made proper selection OF fho
new broom. for it swept a collection before the
Magistrate such as had not been gathered In the
Eldridgest. precinct for long while before.
This publication Of Eldridge-st. is excellent
in its way. Al the same time II is somewhat
puzzling. Publication implies something TO he
purified. police crusade implies vice that the
police can stamp out. II Chapman Is to clean
out the precinct. then the precinct must need
cleaning ont. If Chapman could in one night,
the first of his incumbency pick up score Of
dsOrderly persons in the streets there must
have been a score of disordcrly persons whom
other police officers had neglected 10 deal with.
II is all very well for Chapman TO clean up the
East Side. but in view of his cleaning what bo-
comes of Mr. Devery's solemn assertions that
the East Side was clean. and the Police Boards
solemn pretcncc Of believing that Devery told
them the truth when he said the town was not
wide open? When Frank Moss and Franklin
Mathews told about the condition Of the East
Side last month Devcry denied the truth of their
statements Now by his acts he conlesses that
they were right. He declared that the city was
pure could he. and that whatever vice eX
listed was in spite Of great police diligence. Now
ne sends a new man with orders to enforce the
law. and in one night that man so enforces II as
TO show thar it was not enforced before at all
What excuse has Dcvery for saying that the
law was enforced: He cannot plead ignorance.
He took upon himself the responsibility of de-
nouncing Mr.. Mathews Slandcrer of The
police. He vouchcd for the East Side not be-
ing open and pretended TO have certain knOw
edge. Now he shows that he spoke falsely
when he said il was not open. by beginning to
close up. Chapmans nights work in Eldridge
81. is Deyery's confession. 1t shows the exist
encc of n condition which Devery said did not
exist. 1t shows possibility Of supprcssng
crimes which Devery said could not he sup
