NEED MORE FUNDS TO WAGE
WAR ON CITY CRIMINALS
Secret Financial Provision Urged of
Charter Revisionfsts to Facilitate
Prosecutors Campaign
Against LaWbreakers

The charter revision committee is
urged to include In the new city char
ter a provision for the creation and
maintenance of a secret fund for the
city prosecuting attorneys ONCE, by
which Prosecutor E. j. Fleming and his
assistants hope to convict and get rid
of men who are now conducting gam
bling and other resorts not calculated
to improve the public morals.
It is said that owing to the curtail-
ment of the funds provided for detec-
tive work the prosecutors office is
handicapped and almost helpless to
proceed against this class of law
breakers.
Scores of gambling houses have been
closed, and during the month OF jan
uary last a wholesale invasion of the
various "dens" was carried on, but
seemingly without effect.
