BILL TO REMEDY CONDITIONS

"A bill now before the Legislature makes
it a criminal act for the employe Of de-
tective agency to divulge any information
that he gets in working on a case for his
employer. In this way IL is hoped to stamp
out the practice which has become noto-
riously prevalent of employees extortins
money from victims about whom they
may have obtained information in contem-
plated divorce proceedings and the like
also the practice of turning over for money
to the people on the other side the infor-
nation gathered in the case. When a man
with license does such work his license
can be revoked. but employees have felt
quite safe in such practice"

reliable detectives7' asked The Tribunes
representative.
In order to acquire a clean set of men
for detective work the State Controller has
imposed three conditions. which should

Second. We are determined TO root out
from the licensed detective force such men
as have proved themselves unit for de-
tective duty. There are even among this
class OF men those who are INSCRIPTIONS
and prone 10 fall before the temptations
that beset their way. Many of these men
had good records when they went on the
detective force. but environment later
brought them down from the pedestal Of
honor. and In consequence OF this they must
be removed

which shows what consequences may re-
