Greatest Shakeup in American
Municipal Protection Follows
Graft Probe

Philadelphia, Oct. 31.-(P)-The
greatest police shakeup in the his
tory Of American municipalities, 80
extensive that it will amount to the
formation Of nearly an entirely new
force, is planned by Mayor Harry
A. Mackey in an effort to rid the
bureau Of "grafters" a. revealed by
the grand jury investigating or
ganixed lawleSsness and police cor
ruption. ...-
After ordering the suspension and
|tt1A1 ~ the civil service commission
Of three police inspectors, 18 cap
tains and one detective, declared
unfit to hold any public office" by
the grand jury, the mayor an
nounced today that he had worked
out plans for complete reorgani-
xation Of the bureau Of police.
The reorganization will include q
revision Of the boundary lines Of
police districts 80 that they no
longer will correspond with the
borders Of city wards. This was
suggested by the grand jury and
Mr.. Mackey said he was convinced
it would be one Of the most effec-
tive moves in divorcing the police
from politics.
Mayor Mackey's plan contem-
plates the dismissal Of every men,
ber Of the force against whom even
= suspicion Of dishonesty has been
directed by the grand jury and the
dismissal or demotion Of every man
not exposed by the investigation,
but whose record shows derelictions
Of duty and inefficiency. It also
includes the formation Of q new
ranking slate, with promotion based
on efficiency rather to measure up
to executive duties to the rank Of
patrolmen with attendant loss Of
pay. :.
District Attorney Monaghan said
the grand jury would continue its
investigation on gamblers, with
whom, he declared, some Of the &C.
cused policemen were 40 deeply in

the presidency outside the borders
of his home state for the last time
tonight, when he motors into New
Jersey for . speech 1t Newark. =
city only recently evacuated by his
Republican opponent.
Returning to his headquarters
here immediately after the address,
the Democratic presidential nominee
will spend tomorrow in preparation
for his twin effort to swing New
York into lire with speeches in
Brooklyn and this city Friday and
Saturday.
Fifty-nine votes in the electoral
college are ut stake in New Jersey
and its neighbor state Of New York.
and Governor Smith believes his
chances are good for bagging them
all, despite the fact that only once
in the last eight quadrennial elec-
tions have they been found in the
Democratic column. This was in the
tri-cornered race Of 1912, when Will
son carried both states.
What the Democratic nominee will
choose for his text tonight in New
ark had not been announced from
the Smith camp today. It was con-
sidered likely, however, that he
would devote . good portion Of the
speech to IN appeal to the laboring
classes, inasmuch a. Herbert Hoo
yer chose this topic for his Newark
address.
Whether Governor Smith will stick
to his original plan to wind up
his speaking campaign in Madison
Square Garden Saturday night, or
consent to make . final radio appeal
to the electorate Monday night, is
q subject Of much discussion around

Miss Graham, a nurse at Indiana

Adams, in a statement to State

select the candidate for Governor,
said he would accept the guberna-

Jackson be repudiated, that it be
understood that he will not follow
advice Of George v. Coffin, Seventh
district chairman, as to patronage
or policy, and that he will continue
the crusade for clean government.
Responsibility is on the Repub-

DRUGGISTS GET WARNING
ON LIQUOR MIXING SALE
u, S. May Revoke Permits
Unless 'FIavOring'
4 Trade HaItS.

PU United Press
WASHINGTON, May 17-Pro-
hibition agents in various sections
have been warning druggists that
they may lose their medicinal liquor
privileges if they sell concoctions to
be used in mixing alcoholic bev-
erages, it was learned at the pro-
hibition headquarters today.
Prohibition Commissioner Doran
said there was nothing in the
statutes which prohibits the sale
of oil of juniper, commonly known
as "gin drops" or other non-intox-
icating substances used in connec-
ton with alcoholic drinks.
Violation of Law
He admitted, however, that agents
had warned druggists against whole
sale transactions in these prepara-
tionS.
ut would be a violation of the
law for druggists to sell liquor
f1avorings which were labeled as
such which they knew positively
we're to be mixed with alcoholic
drinks" Doran said.
Prohibition agents have not been
authorized by headquarters to in
stitute campaign Of coercion or
intimidation in their efforts to stop
the sale of certain Notwithstanding
substances by drug stores and other
dealers"
Druggists Are Warned
A number of druggists and groc-
ers in Washington have been
warned against selling such soft
drinks as non-alcoholic Vermouth
and other liquids which when
mixed with alcohol constitute vir-
tually the same intoxicating liquors
as were sold before prohibition.
Officials said the sale of these
non-intoxicants is legal because
they may be used for legitimate
purposes without having alcohol.
