a matter of fact. it was partly with
the aid of royalty and partly with the
aid Of the brothers. Martin Alonzo

its equipment and maintenance.
1t is stated in the Spanish press that
the count books Of the Pinzons have

show what the brothers contributed to
the discovery of America, or. at least,
what were certain of the more import

SAY |NEFF|C|ENCY
IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR CRIME
Review East Grand Forks
Situation Last Fall in a
Very Strong Light
CLAIM CRIMINALS
WERE
Allowed to Commit Crime
With Impunity-No At
tention to Duty

The official opinion of the Polk
county srand jury of the East Grand
Forks police department and of gen.
eral police conditions in the city. with
particular reference TO the situation
last fall. is contained in the final re.
port of that body. made Thursday ev-
ening to Judge Watts.
Executive officers are also hit by the
lury's report. that portion of i, bear
.ng particularly upon Eas, Grand
Forks conditions following:
Apparent I%neficicncy
The grand jury has been CALL
ed upon TO pass on a large number
of criminal cases arising in East
Grand Forks. in this county. as the
result of our labors will show.
ut is quite apparent to us. as
1t must be IL any observing citi-
zen. that the greatest amount Of
this criminal activity in East
Grand Forks last fall. is due to the
apparent inefficiency and lack of
ability on the part of the police
department of that city.
Worst Criminals Harborcd
1T appears quite clearly To this
jury that large numbers of the
worst criminals have been har-
bored and allowed to remain last
fall in East Grand Forks. more
especially in various saloons of
said city. where they have in many
instances been allowed to violate
the law with impunity and with
no apparent attention on the part
of h police department to rid the
city Of this criminal element.
Touch Executive Officers
This condition OF affairs shows
either Il lack Of attention to duty
mn tho mart of tho evocp}iro oe;-
GERS of the city. or a deplorable
lack Of ability to perform these
duties. u condition which We hope
will be Don remedied.
We n help but think and
teel that a large amount of crimes
committed in East Grand Forks
last fall were directly due to the
Incompetence or lack of attention
to duty on the part of the police
department Of the city of East
Grand Forks

vsfy we'll pleased with the manner II
which the jury viewed city conditions

.ne special law that fixes the salary O.

at only $1,000. being in favor of plac.
