far have been brought about rather in
spite OF the men who Save had the IN
v~estigahop in hand than because OF
them. Political! and official jealousy

first pointed out the rotten condition of
the department. The department chiefs
had to act liz the face Of certain public
condemnation, but the inquiry has gone
on in U half hearted sort OF way, for the
