Eutopia

There is a garden where lilies
And roses are side by side;
And all day between them in silence
The sIlken butterflies glide.
I may not enter the garden.
Tho I know the road thereto;
And morn by morn to the gateway
I see the children go.
They bring back light on their faces;
But they cannot bring back to me
What the lilies say to the roses
Or the songs of the butterflies bee.

-JeIy UOOK UP the CnIeT-s orueTs[on
the Sunday closing law.
O'BIien said the chief had never
given any special instructions, mere
ly general orders. They went into
heart-tO-heart talks. Johnston
brought out that when Healey made
lengthy law enforcement speeches to
the captains a stenographer, Serg't
John Naughton, took the proceedings
down in shorthand. The heart-to-
heart talks were not taken down.
O'BTien said Healey had warned
them not to arrest ViOlators of the
Sunday law, just report names.
Healey's attitude caused confusion in
police dept. Healey explained that
he would decide when he wanted the
captains to recommend license reVO-
cations.
At another meeting Healey said:
Some captain has proceeded in a
high-handed manner to stop music at
cabarets. 1 don't want any captain
to do that. Report it to me. Don't
act yourself" Then O'Brien explain
ed that he himself had stopped music
after 1 a. m. in the tough cabaretssin
the redfght district and the black
belt. Said by doing this he improved
conditions rs per cent, but Healey's
order took a club from, his hands,
and the vicious cabarets operated in
full blast once more.
O'Brien testified HeaIey told cap
tains the following in substance:
Some of you captains have been
sending people to me, explaining that
you'd be willing to give them a
chance to run, but it was up to the
chief. 1 want this to stop. You can
get by yourself with whatever you
want without an investigation by this
office. have no stool pigeons watch

IN another occasion 0Brien said
Healey complained that certain cap
tajns were running to reform organ
izations with their grievances and
complaints. Wanted this stopped.
Said he didn't care anything about
reformers; that he was boss of the
police dept and proposed to be boss
until end of Mayor Thompson's term.
Said mayor never interfered with
him. "
Atty Healy tried to shake O'Brien
on chiefs instructions; but he stuck
to story. Insisted Chief Healey had
crippled police by orders not to>sup-
press cabarets.
Atty Healy then asked if O'Brien
had never read that the states at
torney had said he would not prose-
cute Sunday Violators. There was a
long argument between iHealy and
Asst States Atty Johnston on this.
Healy contended this was the reason
the chief didn't want arrests, but
merely reports made. Johnston re-
called that Hoyne had offered to
name any one the city wanted as spe-
cial asst states atty to handle Sun
day violations and that City Hall
crowd had refused. Fhis offer was
extended to City Prosecutor Harry B.
Miller. Olson caused a stir by decid-
ing in favor of John ]. Healy. O'Brien
replied he had heard about it.
HeaIy then asked if O'Brien didn't
know that Chief McWeeny in. 1911
had promulgated an order allowing
music in tabarets. Johnston argued
that this had nothing to do with
Healey's order four years later. Oh
son again decided in favor of the City
Hall crowd. O'Brien, after saying he
didn't recall, finally remembered it.
Johnston Said after John J. HeaIy
