The New York herald., 1922-11-12

endeavoring TO undermine the entire

party The Yard has always taken the
credit for breaking the strike I'm this

Devoted as were these phases, IN po-
litical work and still deprived of the

Yard Not snappy wow.

American detectives who have been
here few months said they were not
getting the "snappy" cooperation from
the Yard that they used to ir the old
days. They could not find their old pals
there and they say the new men are so
wrapped up in postwar political prob
lens that they did not have the old fair
for strictly criminal work.
II should not be assumed that Scot
land Yard Is absolutely lacking IN
chronological ability, however, and the
police tonight are Betting they viii
have the chocolate sender within a rea-
sonable time. They have made num-
Der of notable records against crime
within the year-mainly after patient
waiting and watching until the suspect
gave himself away or until evidence
unexpectedly developed to complete their
suspicious.
Certain confidential machinery is still
available for tracing postal packets

Dental means OF getting information
from postal employees. The complete
ness with which certain betting frauds
in high life have been apprehended is
cited as one of the fruits of this system.
The postal employees cultivated the
habit Of noticing customers, and there
still exist ways of sounding them out
and circulating requests for Information
among them.

The Yard complains that politicians
have hamstrung their efforts in more
than one direction. But in connection
with a widespread volunteer organizs-
tlon they are able to carry on much
quiet work that the Government knows
nothing of till 1t is needed. 1t is the
volunteers-many are ex-serVce 1ntelh-
gence men-who are counted upon to
render considerable assistance in the
present case, which has put the whole

their activities that made the British
Intelligence Service what Il was. But
when the war was over many OF them
refused TO return TO the police. In con
sequence crime increased in London
big crimes like robbery OF famous
Jewels and daring blackmail-and y was
reported that the traffic In drugs was
rnmifying into some of the most i'm
portant quarters of metropolitan lhe.
The crooks undoubtedly gained GER
tain amount of confidence as they real
lied that many of their old enemies OF
Scotland Yard were no longer on the
job. There is a recent case where a
foreign nobleman received a tip that
he had better leave the country. In the
old days he would have cleared out
swiftly and silently, but under the pres
ent regime he dared those who warned
i'm TO make good their threat, took his
case TO the papers and. so far as known,
is still IN London. Certainly proceed
ings were never taken against him.
With the help of the Royal Irish Con-
stabulary, Scotland Yard met the Sim

Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, IL was
at a time when Scotland Yard generally
considered tho work against the Irish
extremists over. The Yard has always
regarded the Wilson slayers as isolated
fanatics. What they are able to point
with pride to was the completeness with
which they baffled a number Of well
laid Irish plans to blow up various
Government offices and kill officials di-
rectly connected with Irish affairs.
Checked Russian Agitation.
Furthermore the Yard is proud of It's
ability in checking Russian agitation. II
was shrewd detective work that resulted
in Maxim Litvlnoffs expulsion from
England. IT was information that the
detectives developed that led to the ex-
posure of Moscow subsidies for the
Daily Herald, the labor organ here. They
have also from time to time ascertained
the various sources of wealth trickling
into the pockets of agitators within the
Labor party.
One report says the Yard was ready
to reveal the full secret of Russian
backing when the miners tried to get
the railway men and transport workers
to join them In the strike last year. But
both the Yard and Lloyd George, then
Prime Minister, knew that responsible
labor leaders we're ignorant of the effect
Moscow had had upon their followers.

which would have dscredited the honest
leaders as well as the dishonest agita-

There is no ground for the allegation

The box was sent to the Home Office
for analysis. and thougl, the result has
not been announced, it is understood
that the pa ackage contained poison. This
incident was not reported TO the chief.

Gen. Sir Wyndham Cbilds. head of

chocolates could be explained only as a
temporary weakness on the part of my

officials are greatly upset over the oc-
currence, and blame the Daily Mai,
which published the inside story. for
giving the guilty an opportunity t.

this morning, Gen. Childs says:
The Daily MAJ has destroyed abso-
lutely and frrevocably one of the
strongest clews we have ever had in an
anonymous letter case. 1t is pitiable.

caught in moment of carelessness.
The detective is said to be more dis
turbed with the thought that he was
an easy victim than with the condition
resulting from the poison.
Scotland Yard officials say there Is no
reason to suspect a political plot, or
the malicious act of criminal who
had grudge against the victim. About
a week ago a box of chocolate biscuit
was sent to another Scotland Yard Of
flcial. They were also in cardboard
box, wrapped in white paper. also ad-
dressed half in print and half In script
