Kessler stated that he knew this was
hearsay evidence but he wished the
council to hear the reports they re-
ceived from the men they hired.
He also cited a case in which q man
named Heath was abused about mid
night right in front Of the city hall
and called stool pigeon and other
names by Detective Handy because he
had acted in the capacity of a detec-
tive getting evidence against the
Brown woman. Heath, he declared,
had made a sworn statement of the
facts that occurred which he would
file with the council II they desired to
see them.
Case Of Arreeo Woman.
Mr.. Kessler brought up the case of
the Arrego woman, arrested for run
ming a disorderly house and whose
case the mayor ordered dismissed on
account of poverty, and gave the in
formation that she was paying $50 a
month for nine rooms and that she put
up 500 for a prostitute who was ar
rested in her house and further that
she had a bank account on which she
checked. In that case. he stated, he
believed the mayor had been misin-
formed as to conditions and from a
statement made by the woman when
she was arrested by Constable Farmer
that she would tell all she knew II
prosecuted, Mr.. Kessler declared that
it looked as though some member of
the force had given the mayor the In
formation upon which he acted. From
q detective hired by the league. he
stated, the White woman arrested
there gave the information that the
Arrego woman paid $40 a week for
protection.
Kessler declared that OF course this
was all hearsay evidence, but it was
evidence brought to them by their de-
tectives, who had furnished positive
evience which had been substantiated
in court of the existence of bawdy
houses, and the league felt that it was
reliable.
Councilman Davis defined his posi-
tion in the case by stating that he
stood for law and order and believed
the life he led would bear out his
statement, but that each member had
a department of it's own for which he
was responsible and that 1t was under
stood that the other members would
not interfere with its operation in any
way. Where case was brought be-
fore the council for all to act, how
ever. he declared he would be found
on the side of law and order IL specific
charges were filed and the evidence
substantiated them, but he wanted
positive proof
The result Of the long conference
was that Mayor Hodges asked that
charges be filed against any members
of the police or detective departments
the league wish and an investigation
before the council would follow, which
Kessler stated would be done.

CHARCESA AGAINST
THE POLICE MADE
BEFORE COUNCIL
Re preventative of Law and
Order League Declares
Department Is Winking at
Violations or Incompetent.

Either the police department is
shutting its eyes to vice in the city or
Is incompetent to handle it,"
The above assertion was made at the
city council meeting yesterday after
noon by Harry S. Kessler, spokesman
for the Law Enforcement league,
which sent a delegation OF IL men to
the council and made demand that
the IS or IA bawdy houses which had
been re-opened since the Law Enforce
ment league had stopped its vigilenee
be closed by the police department.
''Some time ago." stated Mr.. Kessler
"a committee from the league waited
upon Mayor Hodges and advised him
of conditions in the city and he in
formed us that he did not believe they
existed and asked for proof, where
upon we hired private detectives, Sc
cured the evidence and got a number
of convictions. All the time we work.

the police or detective department and
In fact, had to work without their
knowledge for fear of being handi-
capped, but We secured the evidence

temporarily closed the places up, but
now that we have quit they have re-
opened and are running as openly as
In the palmy days of Ben Francis and
seemingly without any fear of arrest"
IF special detectives can get evil
denee of these bawdy houses, 1t would
SEEM" continued Kessler. that the
detective force and the police with its
power could find them and furthermore
we demand that they get busy as 1t is
not right to make private citizens go
down in their pockets to hire detectives
to get this evidence and secure convie-
tions while the police department is
being paid to do that work If it is
more evidence the mayor wants of the
existence of these places we can again
go down in our pockets and hire de-
tectives and get it," said Kessler, and
If there is some assurance that it will
stop after producing 1t again we will
be glad to act, but we do not want to
have to continue this thing indenn-
itely.''
City Attorney Embarrassed.
Mayor Hodges asked Mr.. Kessler at
this point II the city attorney had ever
told him that he did not have the sup
port of his superior officers, to which
Kessler stated he had not, but working
with him he had often felt that Mr..
Reddoch seemed embarrassed in push
ing prosecutions in the bawdy house
cases.
Mayor Hodges then stated that they
would like some specific evidence, not
hearsay evidence and If they could get
that sort they would Investigate and
asked that the members of the league
nle sworn charges against the depart
ment.
To this statement Mr.. Kessler replied
that the men of the league We're not
men who visited these houses, but that
they had received reports from their
detectives that while in a bawdy house
one night, the telephone rang, that the
madam answered ii and upon returning
stated to those present that the call
was from police headquarters and that
she was informed that the men We're
