DESERTED VILLAGE

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 81 am
greatly encouraged by the start we've
made" Gen. Smedley D. Butler,
Philadelphia new director Of public
safety, said today. after surveying re-
ports from police districts of the re-
suits of the first day and night Of his
sensational drive to clean up the city.
Nor was the Generals information
confined to reports, for early today he
was speeding through murky streets
of Philadelphia's~ s. tenderloin, peering
into shattered houses of ill-repute,
barred against his coming. and taking
personal supervision Of the nights
assault of law and order against the
city's crime.
Like Deserted Village
Philadelphia tenderloin, as those
shady sections lying within the Sixth
and Eighth precincts are defined, was
like a deserted village.
Saloon doors were padlocked,
houses where less virtuous Of the city's
sisterhood were wont to fiaunt their
charms, showed no signs of life;
wooden shutters covered many Of the
windows along the less reputable by
ways. while police blotters recorded
the first nights raids
Twenty tenderloin ''speakeasys"
padlocked! Such was the surprisingly
small total for the first twelve hours
since General Butler, watch in hand,
told his police force of 5000:
go to it. I give you forty-eight
hours Clean up or hand over your
shields"
Time by Forelock
That the number of arrests was so
small is attributed to the credit the
tenderloin gives this devil dog" COM
mander for meaning what he says.
The tenderloin has suffered reforms
before and survived to sin some more
and its spokesman are frankly skep-
teal of the permanence of the pres
ent experiment. But for the present
it is taking no chances. The tender
loin just took time by the forelock
and closed up.
