But No Action Was
Taken to Place the
Blame for Outrage

Startling developments came thick and fast today
in the charges of police barbarism at the city jail
First Jailer Corbett admitted that pris-
oners compelled to walk through the jail corri-
dors without any clothes Corbett, however, says he
off duty at the time.
Secondly, Inspector Sullivan admitted that he
knew about the outrage, but said it not Corbetts
fault, as he said Corbett at home at the time
Quarantine Officer McGee declared that Corbett
in the jail at the time of the outrage because he,
McGee fumgated Corbett's clothes along with the
clothes OF the women and others
Inspector Sullivan made a hurried visit to the
mayors office, after first conferrng with Corbe this
morning
Then, to Star reporter, Mayor DiIling declared
with some heat that it was all a - - lie, and that
he was running the police, etc.
Somebody has lied
That stands out as one fact in todays develop
ments.
THE WOMEN DID HAVE TO WALK
THROUGH THE JAIL CORRIDORS WITHOUT
ANY CLOTHING, WHILE MEN PRISONERS AND
OTHERS WERE PRESENT.
That, also, stands out as a fact admitted by both
Corbett and Sullivan.
he outrage happened three weeks ago.
BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT 1T
YEI. THAT is PERHAPS THE MOST START
LING FACT OF ALL.
Mayor Dillng must have known about it. for Sui
Ivan Bannck and Corbett all knew it, yet no one con-
sdered this outrageous affair bad enough to warrant
an investigation even.

banks here, will be forthcoming i'm
mediately.
There has been a significant move
ment of troops in and out of Pekins,
Manchus departing and Chinese TAX
ing their places. 1t is reliably report
ed that by reason Of these changes
the garrison now Is almost equally
balanced between Manchu and Chi
nese troops.
The action Of the regent In per-
mitting the dep lrture of the Manchus
is believed to indicate his reliance on
the loyalty of Yuan Shi Kai, but what
is considered the reason for the
change is that Yuan Shi Kai feared
an outbreak among the troops which
would augment his difficulties and pos
sibly result in anti-foreign disorders.
Prominent Manchus, however, dis
trust Yuan Shi Ka1 and believe his
object was solely to obtain complete
power.

mands would awaken foreign atten-

mean national suicide.

what is said to have been a detailed
private confession left by Henry
