'RETRACTION ASKED OF
BLANTON BY SHELBY
Police Officer Denies Charges of
Representative Regarding Liquor
Prosecutions.
CITES EVIDENCE IN CASES
Proposes Texan Withdraw State
ment on Floor.

Inspector William S. Shelby. per
sonnel officer of the police depart
ment, today denied vigorously that he
failed to take notice of prohibition
law complaints made to him by Rep
resentative Blanton of Texas. He wrote
to Representative Blanton, asking him
to make a retraction on the floor Of the
House.
The concluding paragraph of the
inspectors letter follows:
'In view of the gravity of the as
sertions made by you as to my in
competency, and the fact that they
have been made the subject of press
comment, 1 am sure, knowing, as 1
do, the very high regard which has
been widely entertained for you as
a just, fearless and progressive MEM
Der of our national legislature, and
in. which view l may say / have al
ways shared a personal bellef, you
will not deny the justice of my ap-
peal for the fling of specific charges,
founded on fact and made under oath,
as required by law, and supported by
competent testimony of impartial
witnesses, in order that / may have
that full opportunity of defense which
l feel / should be accorded"
Charges Injustice.
Discussing the statements winch
were attributed to Mr.. Blanton, Shell
by states in reply:
"You state further that you made
specific complaints concerning viola
tions of the prohibition laws, and
that was not interested enough to
even take the numbers down." In
this you do me a most grave inJus-
tice. True, I did not personally make
note of the two specific violations
that you mentioned. and 1 recall that
your knowledge as to the locations
at which these violations were oc-
curing was not definite, but at my
direction notes were made of the in
formation conveyed by you, and in
one instance it was found that the
place referred to had been raided
two, and possibly three, times, and I
have to advise you that since that
time further evidence has been OBJ
tanned, and when the case is COM
plete a further arrest will be made.
In the other case referred to by you,
have to advise you that on the very
day you impaired the information an
investigation was started and facts
are now in possession of the police in
connection Herewith, as well as GER
tain evidence, and this case also when
complete will be taken to court. In
simple justice to me, ask that you
retract on the floor of the House that
part Of your statement, at least, in
which you allege that I took no cog
nizapce of your complaints of vio.a~
tions of the law"
