His superiors spoke of him as a man
who did his work, minded his own bust
ness and lived on his salary. The grudg-
ing words of praise that they uttered came
finally to the ears of man who all his
life set great store by soldiers and civil
ians of Costigan's calibre. Tales that he
heard of the Straight patrolman" moved
ham to send for their hero, and one day

quarters before the man who, through de-

Costigan met Theodore Roosevelt, chair
man OF the Police Commission, and through
him received appointment to the Central
Office Squad.
That was his first assignment to Head
quarters. In the years to follow, jealousy

Commissioner, and later brought him back.
Waldo "sent him to the sticks" and brought
him back. Lately Enright transferred and

Of his service in the department has been
devoted.
From the beginning gamblers were the
chief quarry that he sought. A certain
fine strain of Irish deicacy in his make
up has always prevented him from taking
the part Of leader in the war on prosti-
tuition.
The disorderly houses that he has raded
or that have been raided under his direc-
tion are numbered by the thousand, yet
in all his hand -to-hand conflicts with the
city's vice Costigan has never personally
obtained evidence against single one. Nor
has he ever insisted that men under his
command should obtain such evidence. All
they have had to do is express their un-
Willingness and some one less reluctant
was assigned to what their chief has always
considered "drty work.
But the history of gambling in New York
City will show that no scruple Or inherent
refinement has held back Costigan from
work of this kind. These men he, person
ally, has hunted night and day, four seasons
in the year. In days gone by he has pulled
some of the largest and most influential
to earth. To-day he is quite as remorseless
in hunting out the smaller fry, who have
substituted dingy rooms above saloons and
stuss for the vanished glory of palatlal
drawing rooms and the merry whirr of the
roulette wheel.

First
Blood!

1t was while he was working under In
spector Harley that Costigan made his first
kill. Evidence collected by him brought
about raid under his direction upon the
big poolroom that Joe Ullman, the mill
ionaire gambler" was running full blast in
West Twenty y-siXth Street.
Ullman was also known under the eupho-
nious title Of "The Turf Commissioners"
and had for long enjoyed immunity-so
long, in fact, that he believed that he had
the department "fiXcd." Costigan showed
him the error Of his ways, as he has dis
illusioned thousands of others since then.
When the raid on "the millionaire gam
bler' was at an end his spendidly equipped
establishment looked though runaway
express train had driven through it. Ull-
man was arrested and there Costigans re-
sponsbility ended, and the alleviatng in
fuence of the District Attorneys Office of
that day was felt.
The case against the gambler was never
brought to trial. This was the usual pro-
ccdure in that care free day. Following his
arrest, witnesses against Ullman vanished,
as witnesses against most gamblers capt
ured at that time had a habit of doing
The case was pigeonholed in the "D. AS"
Office, and may still remain there in the
musty archives of the county's crimes.
Following this, other raids by Costigan
followed in ever more rapid succession. He
was beginning to hit his stride. Gamblers

Recently, when Commissioner Enrght
removed Inspector Costigan from his work
in the 1st Inspection District and re-
duced him to the rank of captain, the aver
age citizen asked himself: "Who is this
Honest Dan,' anyhow ?" and after surmisng
that he was just another cop who had got
in wrong with the system the average
citizen turned over the paper to the news
of the peace conference and thought no
longer of the matter.
This does not purport to be life his
tory of Captain Costigan of the New York
Police Department. That would have to
come from him and would fill a respectfully
sized volume. Under the recent order Of
Commissioner Enright no policeman but
the Commissioner himself may talk for
publication and that places an additional
seal on the close-lpped mouth of Honest

The Acclaim of
His Enemies

During his long service in the department
Costigan has made enemies, but he has also
made stanch friends. 1t WAS these who
when he was removed from the ranks of the
inspectors lifted up their voices in violent
protest-are still lifting them up SO loudly
that Albany-yes, even Palm Beach-has
heaEd their roar of objection.
Flas6n these and from records and news
paper files the following skeletonized tale
of the life and work of Daniel E. Costigan
in the Police Department was gleaned
In 1889 young Irish American carpenter
made application to the Civil Service for
appointment to the Police Department. He
had little of the political backing that took
precedence over all else in those days, but
he took the examination, was ranked near
the head of the list OF eligibles, and in
June of that year first put the long,
blue frock coat and the tall, ungainly felt
helmet Of the department of that day.
Patrolman Costigan was assigned to the
West Forty-seventh Street police station,
then on the upper rim of the city's night
life, above the roaring, red-lit, wide-open
Tenderloin that was clustering and
brazen in its vice along Sixth Avenue and
the streets of the Twenties and Thirties.
For seven years thereafter Costigan
pounded the pavements," serving his ap-
premiership. Part of this time was spent
in the West Tooth Street station, into
which he was swept by one Of the waves Of
change that are always sweeping through
the department.
During this time he became acquainted
at first hand with the vice of the city in
general and with many Of the vicious in
particular. But though in those days he
was storing up knowledge Of personalities
and methods that was to stand In good
stead in the time to come when he was to
lead his men on their cleansing mission,
Costigan was apart from many Of his fell
lows in his attitude toward the law
breakers.
In those days of open, defiant SHINING q
policeman who above "bt of the
sugar" was only little less rare than a
white blackbird. It Is small wonder that
the quiet ex-carpenter who did his work as
policeman and kept himself clean Of the
net of graft that lay over the department
should come to be known for his honesty.

 No such young lady had appeared at his hotel Don Pedro shook his neau. She could not be in San Jose or he would know, he asserted.

 San Jose proved to be an attractive town. It had the usual characteristics of a Mexican toWn-a plaza with a garden, a church at one side, an open market and an inn.

RENO WOMAN AGAIN RUNS
 FOR SENATE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Anne Martin of Reno, New, will again seek to be the first woman elected to the United States Senate, this time on the republican ticket. She ran as an in- dependent last year for the unexpired term of the late Senator Newlands and was defeated by Senator c. B. Henderson, democrat.
 National republican leaders are en- couraging her to seek the nomination.
 Some of the things Anne Martin says she will advocate if she is elected to the Senate are:
 Popular election of the national rep resentatives on the council and assem- bly, of the League of Nations, and rep resentation for women in the assembly Land legislation along the line of the Kelly soldiers land bill that will en- large individual opportunity on sound economic basis.
 Administration by the government of the natural resources, land, water power mines and forests, to lower prices and open new opportunities to the people.
 Government care for prospective
 mothers and infants. Removal of children from industry | by effective child labor legislation. Fair treatment for the 12,000, 900
 working women, equal opportunity for women with men, and equal pay for equal work.

what she brings home at night Is hers. If she takes in washing or sewing or boarders, what she earns goes to her husband.
 The just law on this subject would provide that a wifes earnings outside the home were her own and that for work in her husbands business a wife be paid in proportion to her services. Such a provision would soon bring de- mand for law to hold the wage earning wife responsible for her share of the family support. In about two- thirds of our states, there is legislation holding wives with separate property and wives who earn money to such re- sponsibility.
 Her Day Is Corning
 When the wife has obtained pay for work in her husbands business 1t is logical to ask why should she not have pay for work in his home? No state has laws which actually recognize this right. In some codes blanket state ments, assuring to the wife the neces- saries of existence, making the home stead secure to her, etc. are found One state provides that if a woman, DeSlOeS Ter uulleS III the mousse QOlu works also in her husbands business she may claim a definite share of the family income.
 The day is coming when no wife will work merely for her keep. She will be by law entitled to a definite share ot the family income. Already wives ir eight of our western states have this right. By the community property law, inherited by these states from the French and Spanish settlers, the wife can demand half the family in come. The community property laws as they now stand, contain some dis criminations against wives, but they contain the germ Of justice and be- cause of this should be on the statute. | of all our states.
