criminals can get together wherever
they like without fear of molestat on.
A rule that permits this in a city the
size Of st. Paul. It Is claimed. is alb
surd. But that is Mayor Kiefer's per-
sCnal regulation.

citizen with some knowledge of police

Paul has become known the country
over as soft spot for crooks. They

known that the police force has not
settled a real criminal, except one.
for over two years. The inability Of
the present force to prevent or to
detect crime IS appalling. Residences
are being robbed in daylight in every
part of the city while women are held
UP on the streets and murderers escape
after taking life almost under the eyes
OF the police. Some one is responsible
for these conditions, and I am not sure
that the responsibility does not rest
upon the mayor If he doesn't allow
Chief GoSs to run the department as
he desires, the colonel must, IN my
OPINION. be held responsible for the
weakness of the police force. If Chief
GCss has absolute control. as he should
have. then IL is on his head that the
blame rests.

yet found man to say yes. Such
methods of investigation Chief GoSS
knows to be mere childishness.
By some il is claimed that the rules
Of the police department are to blame
for much of the alleged incompetence.
For instance, patrolman IS not allow
ed to enter a saloon on his beat, unless
called in to preserve order. If he YEN
lures inside the door to see what char
acters are about the place. off goes
his head. At night, when crime has its
best opportunities, the members Of the
detective department are at home
sleeping. It is unusual to see a detec-
tive about any Of the stations after
$50 o'clock In the evening. If q muir
der is committed or any other crime
needing the particular investigation Of
the fly bObs," patrol wagons and pO-
licemen are sent TO the homes of the
detectives to bring. them down town.
Every detective on the force lives al
most as far from the station as he
can get. The result is that any time
they are needed at night 1t often takes
much valuable time TO get them.
When the police were informed of
Sl9anley's death one detective had to
be summoned clear from Dayton's
bluff Officer White, who was on the
beat where Shanley was killed, had
not dared TO look inside of the saloon
before he was called. Only the detec-
tives are permitted to visit saloons
