1T Is TO LAUGH.

The Evening Post continues its
daily criticism of the present police
department and tells what splendid
force we had under the Grinstead ad-
ministration. Probably they refer
to ex-Capt. Foster, who is now under
arrest in Indianapolis, or ex"Capt'
Pope Speed, who was indicted for
running a game of chance. 1t also
forgets TO state how ex-Capt. Luscn'
niger attended to duty, being busy a.
night delivering the Post in police
automobile.

TRAPS POLICE
IN TERDERLO|N
Private Detective Pays for
Pretended DisorderIy House.

New York, Aug. S.-Through the eff.
forts Of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., evil
dence has been obtained against crook
ed policemen. Starr J. Murphy, the
personal representative Of the Rookie
fellers In social service work and phi
lenthropy, will lay before District At
torney Whitman a mass of information
collected by private detectives who
were working under John D. Rockefel-
Ter, Jr., and Assistant District Attor-
ney James B.. Reynolds.
The evidence is the product Of a
years work by Detective Charles G..
Roe, who was brought here from Chi
cago by Mr.. Rockefeller and MI. Reyn-
olds. Detective Roe operated In the
Tenderloln a pretended disorderly
house and obtained evidence against a
police inspector. This inspector is said
to have received $500 a month for pro-
tectfng the pretended disorderly house.
The rate Of $500 a month appears from
the evidence gathered by Roe to have
been the usual assessment against
such resorts.

4 new WAY TO
COLLECT DEBTS
Money from Pocket
Of Sleeping Guests.

A unique and inexpensive but
somewhat dangerous method of col
l~ecting a debt, which puts lawyers
and collection agencies in the shade
in that branch of work, came to the
attention of Recorder Kehoe last
night when Lawrence Krubal, TWEEN
ty-seven years old, of 215 Sherman
street, was arraigned for creating a
disturbance and carrying concealed
weapons. 1t was charged that Kru-
bal threatened to kill Mr.. and Mrs.
Schultz, of the same address, be-
cause Schultz had taken some money
from his pocket while he slept, to
recompense himself for board al
legged to have been given Krubal.
Krubal admitted he had created a
disturbance and that he owned a
knife with a six-inch blade which
Mounted Patrolman Hartmann found
on his person, but he said he had
only become boisterous after he
found Schultz had relieved him of
$11.
The complainants testified that
Krubal had formerly boarded at
their house and owed them $11 for
board. Schultz said he invited Kru-
bal to his home yesterday. Krubal
displayed a roll of money but re-
fused to pay the debt, according to
Schultz, and when Krubal went to
sleep Schultz put his hand in his
trouser pocket and helped himself to
his board money.
What might be termed a small
war began upon Krubal's discovery
of his loss after awakening. He
caused terror among about a dozen
tenants In the building until Patrol
man Hartmann arrived and placed
him under arrest. The court said it
did not blame him for objecting to
being relieved of his money in such
a fashion, but fined him $25 for
carrying the knife.

DAVIS
MAY WITHDRAW
Democrats Hear Report Of
Labor Leaders Attitude.

An interesting political rumor to-
day indicates that the city organiza-
ton of the Democratic party is
making an energetic effort to patch
up the alleged split between the
labor and regular factions. A. A.
Quinn, the labor leader, who has an
nounced his candidacy for the assem-
by nomination, regardless of the
action of Lawyer Jacob B. Joselson,
who was defeated last fall, has been
opposed by several organization men
who believed hat Mr.. Joselson
should be favored with another OPP
portunity. 1t is now reported that
Mr.. Quinn's candidacy will be unop-
posed, inasmuch as Jesse Davis, the
story goes, has consented to step
down from the aldermanic race in
the third ward and leave the candi-
dacy of Alderman Richard J. Calvin,
president of the Wilson club, prac-
tically without opposition.
The Republicans have apparently
searched for a senatorial candidate
without success. 1t is understood
that the plum has been offered to
