CONTINUITY OF CONTROL
IS MURPHYS SCHEME

NEW YORK, Jan. lS.-The open season
for vice-hunting is on. Tammany, come
into office, is always considered fair game
in this town. The vice hounder who
tapped with felt-covered piano hammer
during reform days is grasping for his
trusty sledge. The scouts of the gum
shoe brigade have pulled arctics over silk
stockings and hit the trail. Not mo-
ment is to be lost For a brief two years
Tammany can be blamed for every illicit
peanut stand So gather the vice buds
while you may, is the watchword OF re-
form.
Observe good old Dr. Parkhurst in the
lead of the skirmish line of the righteous.
He announced the other day that he was
collecting 100000 to ferret out vice. Yes
terday he said it would take a great deal
more than that to get to the bottom OF
Tammany iniquity. For the last two
years the doctor has scarce so much as
spoken OF vice. The forces Of his Society
tor the Prevention of Crime have SUM
bered in the calm atmosphere OF reform.
But now this 100000 is to be sown, ana
thousands of men in gum shoes to spring
up at every key-hole. Not that there
wasn't any vice in the last two years.
There was But, you see, it's different
now. The true reformer would rather dig
up vice under Tammany than radlum III
his own back yard.
And there's jerome, too. The game
laws or something have prevented him
from making a good vice bag ever SINCE
reform came in on his promises to uproot
iniquity. But now Tammany is in again
and jerome is already breathing forth
threatenings and slaughter with, his cigar
cite smoke. So count in the district at
torney in the van of the vice-trappers.
Only not side by side with Parkhurst.
These two never work shoulder to shout
der. One might get in the light OF the
other with the public
just as DR.. Parkhurst has suddenly dis
covered there is pay-dirt vice worth $lOO,-
600 to mine, Jerome has announced some
eureka prospecting He said right out
loud before all the reporters the other day
that the poolrooms were opening up under
Tammany. And he could just tell how
many, too. Three day-count ,em-three
day, said jerome, was the ratio Of these
evil blossoms under the Tammany water
ing pot. You see, Jerome has gum-shoe
men, too. Not so many, to be sure, as
before McAdoo decided he wanted all his
police to do policing with and detached
the city's detectives jerome had been
playing with. But, anyhow, the district
attorney has lett some process-sefFefb "hO
can put on rubbers, and, besides some OF
his young assistants are college men who
might have a wicked friend who is on
speaking terms with bartender. SO, you
see, jerome may know what he's talking
about.
While the vice-ehasers are off waving
their butterfly nets in full cry at the
heels Of Parkhurst and jerome, some real
vice-curbing is being quietly done by one
man. Curiously enough this man is Nc
Adoo. the Tammany police commissioner.
That violates all reform traditions at the
start. To be sure McAdoo cant raise
100000 for paid peppers or compute ex-

lessor Holt will make several scientific
experiments before his audience.
This is the first number Of the several

their professions, so that the young men
may be better prepared to choose their

light and they appear confident of secur-
