There are thirty-two disorderly houses
in one district in New York.
This startling information was pro-
duced by detectives of the District At

the names of men who have subscribed
TO the fund. They know the number and
location of the safety deposit box con-

This plan is said to have originated in
the police department and to be intend
ed TO weaken the case of the State
against the grafters by showing that the
keepers of the disorderly houses were
in possession of lists Of houses which
were to be raided. The lists, which
came from District Attorney whitman's

the dive keepers by the two Assistant
District Attorneys. Mr.. Whitman re-
pudiates the charges sginst his assist
ants and says he Is prepared to meet
the accusations.

that the former grafters, said to be
police officials, are now paying tribute |

Thus spake Mr.. Plumley, and

bill would be ready and would be
one on which every stripe OF repub-
lican could unite. This may also
be taken to apply to all other tariff
