dope, the demand for which is even
being artificially created by paid
agents of these dope" houses, ac-
cording TO the prosecutors informa-

He would also inject himself into
the crusade against organized vice In
the city. The prosecutor is willing
to work with Police Commissioner
Gillespie. who has vice investiga-
tion under way, and the vice question
may be included in the grand jury

have jury summoned.
The prosecutor has issued the fol-
lowing formal statement:
1T seems probable that ii will be
necessary to call grand jury at the
opening Of the September term Of the
circuit court, or very soon thereafter
and II such necessity arises, | shall

Any Officer Found Violating Or

Commissioner

Stool pigeons" will no longer be
given protection by the police depart
ment In return for the service they
are willing to render the officers by
tipping off criminals and in other
ways assisting In capturing crooks
and recovering stolen property.
For years 1t has been the custom
OF the local police department TO cur
ry favor with the class of quasi
criminals. Shady characters, who
have not the nerve to pull off" jobs
themselves, but who consort with the
criminal class, the members OF which
they betray to the police when they
are assured OF ample protection,
have been used In the past by detec-
tives In working up cases. Junk deal
ers, pawnbrokers and others that
come in contact with the criminal
class have been given protection and
privileges" in return for "squealing"
OH their friends and customers.
Commissioner Gillespie has issued
an order that hereafter stool pi-
geons'' would not be protected by
the police department.
If you have to protect crooks to
catch crooks. then you had better
get out of the police business" the
commissioner told his men. Here
after any officer found consorting or
favoring one of these stool pigeons
will be dropped from the rolls"

And II you don't | will order my
men to bring you In here and you
Will be investigated along with the
criminal who is caught with the
goods" the commissioner told him.
The pawnbroker protested that he
had been on friendly terms with
the police for so years. and had given
the department many valuable tips.
He told the commissioner that he
had supported both BreItmeyer and
Marx at the polls. The police com
missioner assured him that he would
receive the same protection that Ia
given every law-abiding citizen, and

The shooting of Patrolman Fred
Holwedel, Thursday midnight, was
probably done by two or three boy
burglars. The detectives working on
the case, particularly Reid, School,
Carmody and Bandemer, are convinc-
ed that experienced thieves never

ed recently by thieves who have been

would not be sufficient TO keep older
men interested. Following this the
ory the detectives expect to make
important arrests within a few hours.
The nine suspects arrested Friday
are held now in police headquarters,
but none Of them Is likely to prove
the slayer. They were picked up the
night OF the killing, seven OF them in
the neighborhood of the crime, and
two in Ann Arbor whittier they had
gone on freight train. The two
Ann Arbor suspects brought back Fri

Youngstown, Ohia. and John Andrews,
Of Farrell, Pa. They said they were
