underworld suffered.
Cafe raids continued, and with
greater success. We raided the
Walton Hotel roof-a hostelry in
which friends of the mayor were
interested financially. We raided
virtually every other cafe. The man.
agements took their cases to the
courts when we revoked their dance
licenses, but we won the cases. Soon
every illegtimately conducted caba-
ret in town was shut tight. Unfor-
tunately, however, we could only re-
woke dance licenses for ninety-day
periods and it was a continual
effort.

Because the book was on Stats

Plumber for Judge

Enforcement Of the traffic laws,
so insistently urged and demanded
by citizens and their organizations,
was impossible, because of the an
tics Of a plumber who had been set
up as a magistrate and assigned to
sit as judge of the traffic court. That
plumber-judge was Edward Roberts.
In January, 1925. Roberts violated a
traffic rule in the very heart of the
city during the peak rush hour. He
was arrested, arraigned, and, Of
course, discharged by a fellow mag
istrate. Roberts said he had not
seen the sign prohibiting left-hand
turns.
Roberts became embittered at the
police. When traffic court was held
the following week, Roberts bra
zenly informed, indirectly, the sew.
eral hundred defendants brought in
by police for violations, that he
would discharge them if they had
not seen the signs.
That day, and on subsequent
days, no one say any signs.
Charles p. Vaughan, Chamber of
Commerce president, was arrested
at this time for speeding-for going
over forty miles an hour. He was
arraigned before Roberts, and the
two-Roberts sworn to deal out JUS
tice and punish offenders and
Vaughan head of an organization
conducting a vigorous campaign for
safe driving and strongly advocat-
ing strict enforcement of traffic laws
held a love feast with the wealthy
manufacturer patting the plumber
judge on the back. Vaughan was
discharged and the policeman was
berated for doing his duty.
In a threemonth period police
made 1900 arrests for traffic ordi-
nance violations.
The ege-demanding classes,
through their special financial or
political influence, were never sum
rnoned to appear. Out Of the 1900
arrested. $500 were not even sum
moned to court.

Police Work Nullified

Only 1000 were even summoned,
and Of that number 1900 did not
appear-having used their influence
to have the work of the police nulli-
fed,
OF the 800 who did appear, only
sixty were fined. These sixty per-
sons were lowly ones, undoubtedly,
poor and without influential friends.

BY SmedIey ID. Butler

The early part OF 1925 was marked
by complete reorganization OF the
police. with the redistricting in OPP
eration. the new grades installed
and the wholesale transfer of Off
Gals.
In the meantime Governor Pin
chot, who at all times backed my
efforts to the limit, named q wom-
an to the office of magistrate, to fill
a vacancy. He selected Mrs. Vio-
let e. Fahnestock, leader Of the W.
c. T. u, the first woman magis-
trate or Judge" in the city.
She was heart and soul in the
movement and was a great help to
the police. Now we could have
warrants issued for any sort of
place, regardless of political, fnan-
cial or social influence, as long as
we had sufficient evidence Of wrong
doing. She played no politics; stood
for impartiaity in law enforcement
and was must anxious to cooperate.
She did her best-but before long
law violators and the clever criminal
lawyers who represented them found
way of obtaining leniency in her
court that reduced her effectiveness.
PadIOcking Continued
Padlocking of the properties of
law violators continued. Abbott, the
special police counsel, was active in
preparing cases, and Judge Nc
Dewitt in melting out justice, up
holding the integrity of the courts
and aiding the cause Of law enforce
ment.
More than a score Of padlocks
were obtained in January and when
we checked up we learned that in
the short period we had been using
this effective club, property valued
at more than $1,O0O,00O had been
closed and locked for year.
Through warrants issued by Mrs.
Fahnestock, the police were able to
raid political clubs that had
previously been immune, because
magistrates had refused to issue
warrants. Many of these places
were raided. Gambling and drink.
ing appeared to be their main pur.
poses.
Late in January the district at
torney issued a statement showing
that in 1924, LOGS liquor law
violaters had been convicted, as
aaginst 469 the year before. That
sounds great, but it isn't. In pro-
portion to the increase in liquor
law offenders arrested, the numI
Der Of convictions was fewer than
the year before. Nevertheless, it
was an improvement. OF those con-
victed 100 were sent to jail, as
against eighty-seven the year before.
Dog Feat Dog" Policy
Soon we found that vice suppress.
sion was diminishing, that the lid
was being tilted somewhat. A study
showed that the police lieutenants
and captains who had urged that
this work be returned to them were
falling down. Again we took the
work out of their hands, and adopted
what I chose to call dog eat dog
policy. Secret squads, known as
mystery raiders" were organized.
Inspector of Detectives Brinton was
given one such squad, Assistant Sup
erintendent of Police Souder was
given another. Souder and Brinton
were jealous, making each anxious
to Guido the other. This method

SELLING SOUND
MEDICINE" IDEA

Instructed to sell the idea of
sound medicine, a committee has
just been appointed by DR.. Herman
Johnson, president of the Medical
association, to organize Minnesota
for a better medicine" campaign.
The cooperation and active as
sistance of every medical unit and
civic group in Minnesota will be en-
listed, but the bulk of the organiza-
ton and promotion work will be in
charge of the county and district
medical groups, said DIR. Frank
Savage, ST. Paul, committee chair
man.
Other members of the committee
are DIR. H. NJ. Helmholz, Mayo clinic,
Rochester; DIR. w. L. Burnap, Fer
gus Falls; DR.. w. A. Coventry, Du-
luth; DIR. George Earl, st. Paul, and
DIR. c. B. Wright, Minneapolis.
Medical men characterize the
move as one of the biggest projects
ever undertaken by the state medi-
cal unit because it is planned to
have every one of, the association
1000 members scattered through
out the state take an active part in
the work.
The state meetings as tentatively
planned, will be patterned after
those which have been conducted in
Rochester by representatives of the

MUSIC MEMORY CONTEST
(By Marguerite Wing.)

The Music Memory Contest which
was held last week was highly sue
cessful. There were sixty boys and
his best to make tn contest sue
cess. There were two first prizes
given, a tie being held between
Eda-Rae Jones and Fanny Porthan.
These two had a perfect score of
100. Florence Thompson received
second prize, while Anna Nosan and
Dorothy Milkovich tied for third
prize. 1t is of interest to most of
the public to note that Fannie Por-
than won the gold medal last year,
and Eda-Rae Jones the silver medal.

these girls with great deal of in

wish to congratulate all those
in the contest for their especially
fine attitude throughout the whole
contest, and take this opportunity
of compiimenting them on the good
records .ney made the night of the
final contest-for many had scores
over 100, though only 5 children
won prizes. Especially do | COM
mend the 9th graders in their fine
cooperation, for three-fourths of
the people in this contest were
sixth graders. 1t would be fine if
these sixty children would all con-
tlnue their musical training in the
contests of this nature in the
future, for the wonders of harmony
and the joys of musical knowledge
will thus be found to be invaluable.
