The suit was brought in Jefferson

in Van Buren,, Jefferson and Wapello

notice was served on the executive

Phonx Story From pss Moinss.

Des Moines, June 2.-The alleged
discovery by the police department
that local newspaper had negotiated
for a photograph six months ago for
the purpose of using it at the city hall
where there are rumors of graft and
.collusion between the police and dis
orderly houses, caused Chief Of Police
Jenny to start cleanup in police cir
cles today. William ]. Maber, a vet
eran officer, was allowed to resign,
and other designations are expected
1t is said that the chief of police has
affidavits from gambling houses and
keepers of resorts that raids have
been tipped off by policemen and that
the underworld paid for this informa-
ton. Just how much information
the local newspaper secured with its
photograph probably will not be
known until the next city campaign
opens next fall.
