struments in the resorts and from
those who have the slot machine
business.
Again, there is a graft from the
real estate agents and owners of
the properties rented for illegal
purposes. The rents are usually
two-fold what they would be for
legitimate purposes, and out of this
big slice is paid as tribute.
The Poiceman's Part.
The policeman has comparatively
little to do with the system. Yet he
can not help but know what Is go
ing on, If his beat takes him into
the part of the city in which crime
is licensed by his superiors. There
are many temptations for him to
graft in a small way. He can make
it pleasant or unpleasant for the
criminals on his beat, irrespective
of the higher powers. And as COM
paratively small sums will general
ly suffice for his ''favors," they are
willingly paid. And at Christmas
tide he can go around to every
place on his beat and find a present
at each for him of from SIS to $40.
The policeman's orders are to re-
port every new place opened for IL
legal purposes, but never to raid
or make an arrest in them without
orders from the superintendent.
If the graft system were attempt
ed to be operated by policemen. it
would soon fall on account of zeal
ousies arising. But it is not; il is
operated from higher up, and in
some instance very high up. There
is always the third man to the
transaction. who goes between the
official and the criminal. How the
graft is divided few know beyond
those concerned. but it is certain
that a portion of lit goes towards
keeping the administration in
power.

The Western Pacific railway will

expected that the new line will
through competition effect a ma

follow in line with the New Salt

immense advantage to the coast in

CONSIDERING
QUESTION OF
IMMIGRATION

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The Ma
tional Civic federation met here to-
day for two days session. In
which the immigration question Will
be thoroughly considered. Nearly
every state of the Union Is repre-
scented by delegates. In his opening
address Ralph M. Easley, chairman
of the national executive commit
tee, pointed to the fact that the
demand in certain quarters for .
restriction Of immigration was bas-
ed upon a misunderstanding of ex-
isting conditions. He said that the
best interests of the country and
it's development demanded rather
an increase in immigration Of the
right kind.
Mr.. Easley referred to the stats
tics given out by the New York
Civic federation, which showed
that not only immigration did not
increase In proportion to the popula-
ton, but also that IS per cent of the
immigrants were desirable people.
He said that the chairman of the
new board of agriculture, recently
appointed by Governor Higgins, Wis
tied Ellis Island short time ago
and told immigration Commission
|er Watchorn that in New York
state alone there are about 10000
farms lying idle for the want of
people to cultivate them. Similar
conditions exist in most of the
eastern and southern states and to
a much higher degree in the eastern
states. The latest statistics from
the immigration department show
that during the last year the num-
Der of Italians who left the United
States exceeded by 5000 those who
came here.
An effort will be made in this con-
vention to agree on some method
of promoting the immigration of
desirable persons and, at the same
time, to exclude those who are not
desirable for some reason.

Political influence, votes or the

from him who would make crime a
business in the large CITY.
Suppose man wants to open a
gambling house and a speakeasy-
the two always go together. He in.
forms the ward politician or some
one else that can go to the front. u
The man with the pull then goes to
the agent representing either the
superintendent of police or the di,
rector of the department of public
safety.
When the gambling house is
opened the policeman on the beat
reports the place to the lieutenant,
who reports it to the captain, and
the captain to the superintendent.
Next day the captain will drop in
and see Billy, the proprietor.
"By the way, Billy" he'll quietly
ask, whose beer are you going to
buy?"
ooh, I am going to buy from

that. Good day"
And if Billy buys his beer from
b his place is closed. or at any
rate he is not allowed to keep open
