ASA BIRD GARDINER District Attorney.
Colonel Gardiner had conference in his office
yesterday with Chief Of Police Devery, Police
Captain Thomas of the Tenderloin Precinct.
and Police Captain Diamond, of the Fifteenth,
or Red Light" Precinct. None would say what
was done in the conference, but, according to
reports which leaked out. Colonel Gardiner read
Section No III of the Penal Code to them and
threatened them with Indictment and fine and
Imprisonment under it if they did not suppress
the Illegal resorts in their precincts. The sec
ton says:
public officer or person hOdipg M a. PuIltS So trust rust
fully neglects to perform his duty is guilty OF
miSdemeanor.
WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL.
Later in the day Colonel Gardiner gave an
interview, in the course of which he said
l cannot talk relative my conference with
Chief Devery to-day. l would like to give you
what passed but to-day / must me uncom-
municatve and tomorrow l tell you some
thing of interest. This meeting to-day grows out
of a letter that l sent to the Chief of Police on
January % last requesting q list of all gambling
places and disorderly houses. together with the
names of the persons running the same and the
of the Molineux case, and had returned to my
post of duty after my Illness. I've received list
from the Chief I've requested him TO give me
such information TO his office according
that l would take due action upon the same
Two days after receiving the list / had notices
printed be addressed to landlords warning
them that their premises were occupied by persons
in violation of law. ] cannot tell you how many
appeared that list but will say that
1t turned of the members of my
staff for investigation and report. I of the
opinion that persons owning property will abate
these places of their own accord If they know
they are illegally rented There is doubt that
great number of them are rented innocently.
The District Attorney asked if 1t made
any difference who owned these properties, to
which he replied:
Dives must go. If / get evidence that there have
been succession of Illegal acts in any place
which the police have not raided will submit this
information TO the Grand Jury, | do what
indictments result how high up Is the public
official who has neglected his duty. Now. to
