ARRESTS AT CONEY ISLAND
CONTROLLER COLER'S VISIT is FOL
LOWED BY ACTIVITY ON THE
PART OF THE POLICE.

Following the visit of Controller Coler. Deputy
Police Commissioner York and other officials TO
Cohey Island last Thursday. and the conference be-
tween Deputy Commissioner York and Commissioner
Murphy and Deputy Commissioner Devery the next
afternoon, seventy-fve arrests for soliciting and
other VIOLATIONS of the law were made at Coney
Island on Friday night and yesterday morning
1t is possible that there no connection between
the three occurrences, but early last week Captain
Driscoll said: The police don't permit vice to flour
ish here as has been charged. Coney Island was
never cleaner than ii is now. have read stories
about women pulling in men off the streets That's
all bosh.'
1t is believed that the authorities have decided
to drive vice off the streets, least The omen
display OF immortality is what has attracted the
attention of those who have made protests. Deputy
Commissioner York still insists that Coney Island
is as good as 1T can be. He said yesterday:
1t is ridiculous to expect that resort of that
kind will be as pure n residential portion OF
the city. Probably seventy-hVe thousand persons
go to the island every day. 1t is only natural TO
suppose that certain proportion OF them will be-
long to the disreputable class. Unless they violate
the law openly they cannot be arrested.
He said that the arrests made by Captain Dris-
coll Friday night only showed that the CAPTAIN
was doing his duty as vigilant policeman.

such impetus has been given to the sport by the
