once in fourteen years. although il has
always been rated among gamblers as
one Of the wealthiest OF such houses
In the city. The statement in regard

in the De Ford statement and the
names Of three inspectors, two captains
and one civilian official of the Police
Department have cropped up in almost
every tale Of graft that is contained in
the information"
The names Of these six men have
been so closely connected with graft In
the present inquiry that the indictment
Of every one OF them would not sur
prise the District Attorney. The one
inspector who held a % per cent in
terest in the 3Sth street gambling
house was at first supposed TO have
covered his tracks SO well that II was
doubtful if anything could be proved
against him, but the specific story of

practically certain that he will be
among the first to be called before JUS

the intention Of the aldermen 10 try to
make out a case against any individual.

should not waste its time duplicating the
work OF the District Attorney. ne said:
With reference to city officials We shall

fields Of police graft and inefhciency. We
should attempt 10 ascertain the truth
with reference 10 their extent In the
defa-tmenJ Most imnortant OF all, We
should investigate the internal machinery
OF the Police Department. its organiza-
ton administration. its general policy
II we try 10 make case against
this man or that we shall attract at
tentiou but soon exhaust our time and
money without doing our job properly.
Let us follow the indiv dual trail only
so far as Is necessary In the study OF

the District Attorney the task OF per-
fectiug prosecutions against individual
offenders. We are not detective bureau.
II We can succeed, within a reasonable
time, IN the difficult task OF ascertaining
