TELL THE POLICE
NOT Commission

If the complaints that are being
made to the city commission of the
prevalence Of vice and gambling in
Phoenix, were to be made to the police
department, where they should be, the
work of that department in correct
ing the alleged evils would be greatly
simplified In about this way, Chief
Of Police Brisbois told the city com
mission in session yesterday afternoon
that so long as certain of the commits
sioners and certain citizens air their
grievances in front of the grandstand,
and endeavor to discredit the police
rather than cooperate with them. just
so long must the police be seriously
hampered in the work of driving out
vice and gambling
THE police are not expected to go
about spying in windows and shadow
ing men and women" said Chief Bris-
bois. Il personally stand ready to in
Vestigate any genuine complaint, but
when the ones who make the most
noise are asked if they will help the
police by appearing as witnesses, they
promptly withdraw. 1t is one thing TO
90 about the streets and say that con-
ditions are bad and blame somebody
Else for such conditions, and quite an
other thing to come out and back up
these claims with sworn statements.
There is a remedy and one that has
been effective in other days, that will
pretty effectually take care of such
conditions as at least one member of
he city commission says exist"
Considerable time was taken up in
he meeting with a discussion of al
eyed conditions of vice and gambling

hen the matter was dropped without
seemingly getting anywhere.

We use more medicine per capita
than the people Of any other nation

The action of the court in estab-

the mountains. General Hernandez
who commanded the Villa troops

supposed to be another of Villas
leaders, was wounded. A number
