has struck some new leads in its inyes-

cent rows among officers and detec-
lives, in which threats and counter
threats we're made, gave the first clews.
These were followed up quickly. Cir

Folk. The governor had unearthed
some evidence while he was circuit at
torney, but 1t was not enough. Added
to that now in Circuit Attorney Sager's
possession, indictments are said to be
sure.
Women Of the half world are being
sought. That they are parties to the
crookedness alleged is certain. Some
detectives may be asked 10 explain the
possession of much wealth. The bank
accounts and realty holdings Of others
will go under the llmelight. Still 9TH
ers with fondness for almost priceless
jewels will be given every opportunity
to explain.
A detectives salary is just $115 per
month, very good salary, but not one
upon which a man might grow rich or
wear profuslon OF gems.
The spread of vice in the west end
is under investigation, too. Disorderly
houses have been established In the

citizens complained, certain police OH
