BROADWAY LOOKS
TIIWIDLY AT DAILY
Resort Keepers Anxious
Over Return of Clean
Up Inspector.
"Watchful waiting. "

.
It's a new game on Broadway. There
are two sides. On one. Inspector John
DAILY. the cleanup man, recently from
Brooklyn's Tenderloin, and the other,
all Broadway The game might easily
be called checkers, for all Broadway is
sitting back waiting and watching and
thinking.
Broadway paid the successor to John
F. Dryer a fattering compliment last
night Broadway was blue. Broadway
recalled that the cleanup man is not
stranger to the Big Street. 1t is re-
called that DAILY was few years ago
captain of the Forty-seventh Street
station. II is also recalled that the
same DAILY caused TO be elected, and
not too gently, from that station house
Senator The" McManus, when the
politician protested against what he
termed Days Puritan methods. The"
McManus did succeed in making trouble
for DAILY then. Now. stronger than be-
fore. he returns when McManus is
lighting for his political life.
But for all the past, Broadway
heaved a sigh OF relief when it was
learned that Dwyer had been shifted.
Tired Of the days when they did not
know from hour 20 hour the exact
humor Of the police. tonight running
wide open and tomorrow night shut
tight at the legal hour, the managers
Of the various resorts are looking for
ward 70 a settled programme.
The owners Of the places that do not
cross the line set by law-places such
as Churchill's and Stanley welcome
the new inspector. They know that
DAILY is a strong advocate of the out
ward order and decency standard set
and demanded by the late Mayor
Gaynor.
Order Is Watchword
And the owners and managers Of the
less orderly conducted resorts know
that TO outrage public opinion means
that nothing can stop Cleanup DAILY
from conducting a campaign that VIII
not close until such places are elml-
mated from Broadway. Never spec
tacular in his methods, the new in
spector showed by his work IN Brook
lvn that the decent place survives
while those Of the other class quickly
give way 10 some other form of bust
ness. Dives that now dot Broadway
and are notorious from coast TO coast
as resorts for men and women of the
underworld are in danger.
Inspector Dwyer left Police Head
quarters in a cheerful mood yesterday
70 take up his new duties. He said
that he felt there were many things IN
his district that would claim his atten-
ton. and he was sure he would ind
that the traffic problems he had to
solve, and the other police matters
would keep his mind occupied.
Frank Tierney's advent rs ear OF
the brooklyn Tenderloin was hailed
with about as much Joy as that OF DAILY
on Broadway. They had hoped IN
BROOKLYN that Days successor would
be an easy boss. Tierney is student
Of the Daily methods. and while he said
that DAILY left but little for him TO do,
Willoughbv Street and the cross streets
would find that the DAILY system was TO
be continued without any let-up. ..
"Billy" Boettler took charge Of VIII
iamsburg as acting inspector, and re-
ceived warm greeting from the resi-
dents Of the section, TO a great many OF
whom he is known personally Captain
Conbov took charge Of the Queens dis
+rict. and promised that Long ISL
and would be treated 20 demonstra-
tion Of Manhattan methods in police
work.
