NOT STIRRED ABOUT
THE CHIEFS LETTER

Aside from ordering a letter from the
State Headquarters of the Anti-Saloon
League received, filed and acknowledged,
the Police Commission at a meeting yes
terday took no other action regarding the
letter given by Chief Of Police George
Black to Anthony Corletto. who several
days ago received a saloon license, cert-
flying as TO Corletto's good reputation.
1t was thought that the committee Of
the Law and order Society appointed to
take up the matter with the Police Com
mission would be present, but the commit
tee didn't appear and only the letter from
the Anti-Saloon League was received. 1t
was published in THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL yesterday and was to the effect that
I'm the opinion OF the league the action OF
the chief in giving letter TO Corleto'
and also the attitude Of two policemen
who testified in Coretto's behalf when
his application for license was heard
in the county court was unwarranted and
unwise. The letter was signed by John NJ
Arters, superintendent

ready to say whether he would accom-.
pany the committee as he was not present
when the discussion arose at the Lew ant
order meeting and he did not know
whether he was wholly in accord with tn,
sentiments expressed at that meeting
Mr.. Hawkins said he did not wish t,
take It upon himself TO appear alone be
fore the Police Commission. He said th'
committee had no intention OF being dis
courteous 20 the commission. and also sal,
the committee had sent no communication
to that body and no time had been Sc
when the committee would take up tn
matter with the commissioners.
Mr.. Hawkins made Il plain that tn

Working Under Difficulties.

There have been strenuous
times in the Public Opinion Office
during the past week. Ordinarily
election week is about the busiest
time in the year for a printing Of
fee, but in addition to this we have
had to prepare the district court
calender, a law brief, the delinquent
tax list and several other difficult
jobs. We have been short of help,
and to add to our discomfort, after
arranging for a night and day
force of workmen, our linotype
typesetting machine bucked, and
was idle two half days.. Monday
afternoon and yesterday morning,
after being idle three days last
week. The consequence is that We
simply had to leave out a large
amount of matter prepared for to-
days issue, including much of the
correspondence, a matter which we
greatly regret.
