simply the work of judge who is

cided that some drastic measures
were necessary. He has been work

ever since lie went on the bench. He
recognizes the carrying of concealed
weapons among the foreigners one
of the most dangerous and is doing
his best to break it up.

my Dear Sir:
Acting under instructions from
me, as Judge of the Court of Quarter
Sessions, the prosecutor Is about to
make a systematic examination of
persons frequenting the saloons and
dance halls in various parts of the
county in order to find concealed
weapons. The intention is to do this
Saturday night, and at the sugges-
tion of the prosecutor I spoke to
Chief Burke about 1t, and he thinks
the plan Is perfectly feasible, and l
am therefore writing to ask you as
to whether you approve of this plan,
