 Usefulness Short Lived
 Naturally. surprise has frequent ly been expressed in police circles agents" to enter into police work. They are well paid, the police say. for cases in'which they are success ful, but it is impossible for them 10 operate more than few times al the very most, for the reason that torekeepers and others who are prosecuted as a result Of their ac- tivity never forget the face of the man who upsets their business and news travels as rapidly in the world Indeed. the police say. they do not make a practice Of sending the same agent into a large number of places because they fear the suspects and their friends may do him vio- fence.
 The majority Of the agents" en- ploye1 by the local police worked because they needed the money, the police say. They were not actuated particularly by motives arising out of q great desire 10 see the city cleansei Of bootleg whiskey. but they were out Of work and had learned Of the demand for good stools" so they offered 10 turn in in formation on places that had come 10 their attention. One "stool', who operated successfully in local cases, wore a muStache or shaved IL off IS the occasion demanded. and the police and others who knew him were surprised at the great differ once in his facial appearance re- sulting from the simple operation. He worked for liquor raiders in oth- CT places and was regarded by the authorities as a clever operator. Informants who would not accept remuneration or take any part in prosecutions are Of considerable as sistance to the police in liquor cases because they are able to learn many important details. such as the hours when the violations appear 70 be numerous and the class Of patrons seen in and about the premises. The police, being known to the bootleg gers and proprietors of blind tigers" obviously could not learn all that is required 10 be known In ad vance because their approach would be the signal for speedy action but residents of neighborhoods infested by places where liquor |. dispensed, and relatives of men who patroniZe such places, have often kept the au- thorities posted so that successful raids were possible. Naturally. they do not wish to testify in court and seldom are they brought in as wit resses despite the claim Of defense attorneys that proof of reputation in liquor cases must be made by the well founded opinion of the neigh lorhood.
