Compliments Police.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
1t would not be amiss at the present
time TO say a word in praise for the
good work of the police department,
which for the past two weeks has been
so active in keeping down the number
of robberies.
The residents of South Broad and it's
adjoining streets now feel more safe
and do not hesitate to leave their
homes. thanks to the activity of the DO
lice. 1t cannot be said that heretofore
the men or at night did not perform
their duty. but it is evident that the
law-breakers were more bold.
The head of the police department
may well feel proud of the work of his
interiors. Let them keep up the good
work. BROAD STREET.

Needs n Little Investigation:
To the Editor Of the Evening STIR;
\ story appeared in Your paper re-
Gently explaining that a giant police
man in one of the precincts had failed
to pass the civil service examination or
account of physical qualifications, whilf
another patrolman. who on account ci
infirmities has been given a detail
passed with an excellent mark. What
does this mean? Are the examinations
to be treated as a joke. or is u pres
ent police department made up oi
giants who lack physical qualifications!
:. In every city where civil service con-
trolls the police department there has
been dissatisfaction on account of the
men obtained through this source. II
must be admitted that all sorts of men
can pass the examinations, but do they
make good patrolnren? I once heard
Chief of Police Corbitt say. "Give me
a line of one hundred good, husky men
and | will select s~eventy-1ve good pa
trolmen.'' He was right, for his expe-
rience in the police department has
given him the qualification to choose
good men. In New York city the same
remark was made by the head of the
police department. Thus it is not al
ways the man who passes the exami-
nations who makes a good patrolman.
From this it seems to me that the
selecting of police officers should be
taken out of the hands of the Civil
Service Commission and entrusted to
the care of a body of men who under
stand police work thoroughly.

oTa HE pistol and knfecarrying habit is again accursed in the
conviction of Nincenzo Turro of homicide in the murder of
a woman in a tenement on May 10th last. The evidence in
the trial fixed the criminals guilt. The crime was without a miigat
ing circumstance. Tufro would indeed have had two victims if
the shot he fired at the woman's husband had been well aimed.
Like too many of his kind, the murderer had the deadly weapon
habit. In a peaceful community and among women and children
he moved about with Il loaded revolver in his pocket. Then. in Il
trivial alteration in his tenement, his hand sought his ready weapon
and a heinous crime was committed, for which he will be sent to the
electric chair. But isn't this an objectIesson for other men who
have the weaponcarrying habit?

AN INSTITUTIONAL SCANDAL.

ea HE investigation of the scandal in the State School for Deaf.
Mutes at Trenton has brought out facts that show the neces-
sty of the probe and also serve to yindicate the new law
creating a new administration of the State schools. 1t is evident
enough that the institution al. Trenton, with its unfortunate wards,
has been badly administered. Under the new regime probably such
scandals will not be possible.

WHAT TIE STATE BAR LISTENED TO.

OTIS HE State Bar Association at Atlantic City last night was
treated to a discourse that made veteran lawyers sit up and
listen. 1t was of a kind never heard by the State bar be.
fore o n occasions of the kind, from an invited guest. The State bar
at a recent annual session adopted acode of professional ethics
for the benefit of the younger lawyers who have not sized up to the
dignity and honor of the legal profession and who may be lured into
devious practises. But last night the shining lights of the bar,
and the profession a s a whole, came under moral castigation.

surprised at the accuracy of her lee
lures on Hawaii before she went
there but since her extended visit
they have been even better. The Los
Angeles Chamber OF Commerce is, as
you know. probably the best equipped
organization OF Its kind In the world.
They are all friends of Hawaii there
and the half hour lectures given daily
by Mrs. Headlee are appreciated by
all who are fortunate enough to hear
them. II Is not only In her Office and
