Which Do You Consider the
More "ViciOus Offender!

This Is not intended to be a defense

The Detroit times., 1915-04-09

Neither is il defense for any law
defying and law-breaking police COM
missioner.
The chief police officer of Detroit,
Commissioner John Gillespie, appeared
before the liquor committee of the COM
mon council on Thursday with list of
undesirable saloonkeepers, in the opin-
ion Of Commissioner John Gillespie.
One Of these saloonkeepers he branded
as '.the most vicious violator of the
Warner ramton law"
Twenty other saloons on the Giles
pie list had violated the same law, with
the knowledge all the time Of Police
Commissioner Gillespie.
The degree in which the one saloon
keeper in particular violated the law, and
became therefore the most vicious vio-
lator Of the law" in the Gillespie opin-
lon. was established by this saloonkeep-
er In openly boasting that he violated the
law. and talking with policemen about it.
Commissioner Gillespie, short time
ago, admitted that he was not enforcing
the saloon laws
II was 50 very apparent that he did
not have to admit it, but he did admit
IT, in statement to this newspaper.
The saloonkeeper singled out by Com
missioner Gillespie was told to close his
place and refused to do 50.
Thatois what Gillespie told the COM
mittee
n Bear that fact in mind.
And then consider this point in con-
nection with it.
The police or court records fail to
show that A SINGLE COMPLAINT
WAS EVER MADE AGAINST THIS
SALOONKEEPER.
The saloonkeeper who REFUSED to
close his place WAS NEVER ARREST
ED NOR CONVICTED FOR vIO-
LATINO THE wARNER-CRAMToN
Law.
No saloonkeeper in Mr.. Gillespie's list
Of Fl undesirables was ever arrested or
convicted or even complained against. ac-
cording to the records, for violating the
Warner-C ramton law.
Because why?
Because it would have been contrary
to the liberal, wet, wide-open-town policy
adopted by the police department for the
Marx administration when Gillespie sue
ceeded Frank H. Croul, real police COM
missioner, and which was continued in
full effect until IA Michigan counties out
of is voting went dry last Monday and
the Marx-Gillespie administration got
cold feet.
Even the News, the administration or
gan, seems to have been in ignorance of
federation Of law-defance by Gillespie un-
I'll Gillespie once again admitted it by
serving notice that the saloons would
have to begin obeying the law.
Gillespie could not proceed against one
or any twenty-one saloons without pro-
ceeding against them ALL, and an cleo
ton was coming on. and that would be
bad politics.
The commissioner contented himself
with sitting up in his office, as Judge
jury and umpire, and looking over the
saloonkeepers he had invited to be law.
