had been demoralized; Chief Collins
predecessor had publicly stated that Is
per cent OF his men were taking graft.
But the campaign was carried through,
accompanied by dismissals as fast as po-
liccmen or police officials showed any
signs of compatibility. The force today
is reorganized, it was said. The detective
bureau has been rebuilt from chief to the
lowest dick many district stations have
new commanders and lieutenants.
Since Jan. the police force has broken
all records for the detection and capture
OF criminals. More indictments than ever
before have been obtained on police evil
dence Chief Collins and his assistants
believe that this new efficiency is due
largely to improved morale, resulting from
vigorous war on those lucrative criminal
"rackets" that are SO ocrrupting when
let alone.

CORRESPONDENCE
WHO'S DISTRIBUTING THE
TRIBUNE?

That the Tribune's influence is dis
credited in its home territory is proven,
not only by the examples cited in your
editorial, but by the fact that its readers,
in the same breath, exalt the efficiency of
its various departments and denounce the
policy which directs them. This writer
travels considerably through Illinois and
not a little through the central west. And
throughout that territory, during the past
two to four years, has noted the growing
recurrence OF these two expressions: Il

YIELD PRESCRIPTION RIGHTS
Physicians and Druggists Voluntarily
Give Up Authority to Handle
Liquors

Nearly seventy physicians and drug
gists in northern Illinois have voluntarily
surrendered their permits to write liquor
prescriptions or to fill them according to
Major Percy Owen, chief of the prohi-
bition enforcement Office in the Chicago
district
Major Owen said that this course is to
be attributed in part to the fact that ply
sicians and druggists in many cases have
carelessly handled their records and pre-
fer to surrender their authority to write
or fill prescriptions because criminal COM
plants would be brought against them
when Investigations discovered the incor-
rect records.
Major Owen placed emphasis on his
beliefs that conditions regarding the en-
forcement of the prohibition amendment
and to obedience to law are certainly
showing Improvement.

SCORES OFFICIAL DRINKERS
Louisville Chief of Police Calls Attention
to Bad Habits of Some of Fellow
Delegates

Public allegations of the non-observance
of the national prohibition law by Amer
lean police officers attending the interna-
tional police conference in New York was
made in an address by Forest Braden,
chief of police of Louisville, Kentucky.
Mr.. Braden said he hoped the foreign
delegates would not let the drinking they
had witnessed make them form their con-
illusions of American respect for law.
Mr.. Braden told the delegates he was call
ing the attention of the conference to the
lack of respect for the law ON the part of
certain American delegates solely because
a prominent foreign delegate had ap-
preached him and asked him if the drink
ing was truthful representation of the
Americar4 attitude toward law observance.
Hundreds of delegates from forty-six
nations attended the conference.

WHAT PROHIBITION
ACTUALLY DOES

Years ago l stood on historic
Kings Mountain and saw the
smoke of 80 government distilleries.
] saw no macadamized roads,
scarcely a schoolhouse I saw sa-
looms everywhere. There were
only two or three factories, giving
employment to two or three hun
dred people. Some years after the
people had driven out this curse,
stood in the same place. I found
macadamized roads i'll almost every
part of the country. saw mag
1ihcent churches of almost every
denomination. / found school
houses in every district of that
county. There was not the smoke
of a single distillery, but instead I
saw the smoke of 43 of the largest
cotton factories in the United
States" - Federal Judge f. Y.
Webb, Western District of North
Carolina.

Chief Morgan A. Collins, as he looked

at beer running and vice. Under such
force they'd be at liberty, with thousands

Police War Upon Source
Critics of the Collins regime have &C
cused the police of negiccting homicides
and robberies in order to enforce the
laws against liquor and gambling. As a
matter of fact, the chief said today the
best way to encourage murder and rob-
berry is 10 countenance syndicated vice.
To hammer home his point, he skctched
for the first. time the condition in which
he found the police force when he became
chief. Six thousand saloons were selling
liquor, beer was being made in fifteen
Chicago breweries, gambling was going"
everywhere all under a dcmoralizing
system of protection, he said.
Determining and bootlegging were
controlled by a few men who were more
powerful than the laA-," said the chief.
They were making such profits that they
could, and did, spend money at the rate
of $1.O00,000 a year in graft. They had
the shrewdest lawyers in town at their
command. They could suppress evil
dence, with money or guns. They couldn't
be convicted"

"The police department is and has been
doing its full duty under Chief Collins, as
the indictment figures show" the chief
justice said. "The force is more vigorous,
more competent and more successful now
than in many years. If crime is trouble
where than in the police department. In
the conferences held to discuss the crime
situation I have contended that the police
are in no way to blame. Under Collins
the city of Chicago has had police work

CHIEF JUSTICE CITES POLICE
RECORD
Chicago Daily News, May ID
By Charles Z. Owen

Figures obtained today from Chief JUS
tice Jacob Hopkins of the Cricinal Court
indicate that Chief of Police Morgan A.
Collins has doubled the pep of the Chi
cago force in the last year.
The reorganized force gave the Cook
county grand jury material for LIZA in
dictments between January and May l
of this year. That's more than double the
number of indictments voted on police
evidence in the first three months of 1923
and almost double the January May total
in 1924 And the record was made at
time when crime was less prevalent than
in the spring of 1928.
Here are the figures that show what
has been accomplished by the remodeling
of the police force in the last year or two:
