KEEP Up DRIVE
ON POO[RO0NS,
POLICE ARE TOLD
Mayor Shank Also Answers
Councilman Rays At
.tackS on Raids,

Keep up the war on poolroorfns,
was instructions given today at all
police roll calls, despite criticism
voiced at wholesale arrests made in
the weekend drive.
Walter S. White, acting chief of
police, today posted this notice:
ITO all captains of police:
due to the fact that l4rge num-
bers of men are out of work in larger
cities, many are aocking into In
dianapolis. Instruct lieutenants,
sergeants and district men to see
that these men are kept on the move.
Continue to clean up poolrooms and
such places. When they are cleaned
up, keep them that way.
Let Councilman Otto Ray investi-
gate me all he wants to, if he is
such a good citizen that be doesn't
know Of vice conditions in many Of
our poolrooms."
This was Mayor Shanks answer
to statements of Ray that the city
council was investigating RESPONSE
bility for cleanup order.
Gave Three Orders
1.-THE truth about the matter is I
gave orders to raid three poolrooms
where we had frequent complaints of
gambling and liquor selling" said
the mayor. THE rest of the raids
were in charge of the police and the
board Of safety I suppose. But I'm
backing all OF the police in this cam
paign."
Ray said he believed officials dlr
rectly involved in ordering the drive
should be removed. He has asserted
two attorneys have volunteered in
handling cases Of innocent persons
taken in the raids.
Taylor Groninger city corporation
counsel held the city is not liable
for the acts of policemen while on
duty. when told damage suits against
the city were mentioned.
Breeding Place for Grimes
Everybody knows a great many
of our poolrooms are the breeding
places for crimes said the mayor.
Ray admitted councilmen have
talked informally of the wholesale
cleanup, although no official action
has been taken. Whether or not
the special investigation committee
Of the council would take up the
probe, vas not stated.
They'll never get cent from the
city to stand up for law violators If
I can help It,, said the mayor today
when told of other probes under way.
It's a fine thing for the city council
to stand in the way OF law enforce
ment."
Ray also criticised transfer Of
three officers from the accident pre-
vention bureau at Mayor Shank's
direction and replacement OF them
by three persons whom the mayor
recommended.
