a Week "Split"
White Orders Trial on the

From Black and Woman

Patroln1an Patrick j. Tracy was sus-
pended yesterday from the. police force

graft made against him by Frank Win

negroes They declared that for two
years they paid Tracy $3.50 a week to
permit the woman to. follow an occupa-
ton frowned upon by the law.
Winford is a janitor in the Admins
tration building at the exposition
grounds. He lives at % Clyde place.
Some time ago he married Marie Will
liams. negro girl, who at that time
kept a lodging house at 81 Hinkley
alley
Winford yesterday went to Chief
White and made the charge that before
she was married he and the woman dur
ing 1911 and 1912 paid Tracy $3.50 a
week to permit the woman to ply an
unlawful trade Sometimes the money
was paid by the man, sometimes by the
woman.
AS soon as Chief White heard this
story he suspended Tracy, pending
trial before the police commission. II m
going to rid this department of the
damned grafters." said the chief.
Chief White says that the Winford
story grows out of that told few
days ago by man named De Paoli.
who formerly ran a blind pig" at North
Beach and who is now serving 20 day
term in the county JAIL When he
was tried De Paoli made the statement
privately that he had paid graft money
to Tracy and to other patrolmen for
the privilege of selling liquor without
a license. Chief White heard of this
statement and interviewed De Paoli.
who told him substantially the same
thing.
II was unable at that time," said the
chief ito take any action for the reason
that De Paoli could not corroborate his
statements. But when Winford came to
me and told me a similar story it bore
out De Paoli's story perfectly and | at
once suspended Tracy"
Tracy denies that he accepted graft
from either De Paoli or the negroes.
