 Some years ago the owner of one of the largest papers in New York, recog- nizing the need for brightening his pa- per, issued an order that common. place writing should not thereafter be printed. The order extended to the editorial page. The cleverest descrip- tive writers that could be found were employed, and what was the result !? Why they tell the story that the edi- tors wanted the pavements around the building covered with sawdust and straw to deaden the disturbing noise of the passing vehicles, because such great mental effort was necessary You remember what 1 said about hu- nor and insanity. Well. the presence of this additional force of funny writ CTS made very sheol of the office. The merit of news was forgotten and the whole establishment was divided against itself.
 Petty jealousies were more numer. ous than individuals among them. A. B. was simply conceited fool. c. D. and E.

The editorial page es- tablished a standard of cynical ridi- cule, so that it became a byword, and when a contemporary wished to pi- rouette on the apex of comparison, he merely had to say that such a thing was funnier than an editorial in the New York Eagle. In less than six months the order in that office was to buy more Procrustean beds and less paper and pencils.
 When a man has turned what he thinks is a particularly fine sentence, invented a good joke, on some public men. and sees his master the next morning as dry as dust. why he has no desire to try to comply with the owners order. After a while the pa- per got back into it's common practi. cal everyday style again and again the editor shook 'em up with an impera- tive order that the first man that inter- fered with this command would be fired on sight. He thought Washing ton was an excellent field wherein to establish this new order of things. One afternoon when the editor was in @ great hurry he sent telegram re-

Unspeakable conditions and inn

for, 20 E. 31st, but Chief HeaIey was
deaf to his. charges, according to
O'Brien.
The reply from Chief Healey to
Capt. O'Brien, warning him to do his
duty as a policeman in the matter of
the Beaux Arts club, which the ad-
ministration banked on as a defense
for Healey, was riddled by Berger. 1t
was shown that the letter was writ
ten the day before O'Brien's suspen-
sion and after the Herald had ex-
posed the place.
One trump card played by O'Brien
was the introduction of letter writ
ten to Chief Healey on Nov. "a, 1915,
in which he characterized his district
as the worst spot in Chicago and in
which he described wild orgies, pros
titUtes and violations of the 1 o'clock
law and Sunday closing law And
Healey did not answer. He heard
his captains complaint against a
vice-ridden, poltically-cOntrolled dis
trict and he offered no word of en-
cOuragement or advice.
O'Brien also told Of receiving or
ders from Chief Hea1ey warning him
against interfering with music in the
cabarets after 1 o'clock under the
provisions of the restaurant ordi-
nance.
The manner in which O'Brien was
suspended was also told, O'Brien
said he had his first intimation of
the suspension from what he read in
the papers. He said he visited Healey
at his office, but could get nothing
from him, although Healey halfway
admitted he had nothing on him.

charges.
On June II, 1915, O'Brien asked
the revocation of YensOs' license.
Nothing was done until citizens Of
the neighbOrhOod led by Mrs, Bar
rier complained to Chief Healey. A
short time later the license was re-
stored. It was in connection with
this queer restoration that Asst
States Atty Henry Berger flashed
the name of Sen. Harding.
When O'Brien first took the stand
he was questioned by Berger con-
corning a saloon owned by Abe POhl,
a professional bandsman and politi-
clan, at 2724 S. State. He said the
place was frequented by prostitutes.
Abe Poh1 was arrested for pander-
ing several months ago. He was lat
er discharged, but before the case
was ended he succeeded in having
two police officers dropped from the
payroll on a charge of accepting
brides. After the pandering arrest
and after an investigation by police
officers and investigators from Sec
and Deputy Funkhouser's Office,
O'Brien begged the chief to revoke
the license. Pohl is still doing bust
ness at the old stand.
Among the other places which he
said were infested with prostitutes
and which carried on their riotous
gayety until the wee sma' hours,
O'BHen named the following: George

Noble.
In connection with Mobiles saloon
Berger asked O'Brien if it wasn't
true that Sen. Harding owned the
