CLOSE 10000
GOTHAM JOINTS
Task of Closing Vast Num-
Der of SpeakeaSieS Is Set
for Cops.
BY MAX BUCKINGHAM


NEW YORK, Dec. 81. - New
York's police set out today on a task
which the federal government has
failed to accomplish, the closing of
the city's 10000 speakeasies.
Police have received their orders
from Grover Whalen, new police
commissioner, to raid places where
liquor is sold as the first step in
ferreting out criminals. SpeakeaSieS,
Whalen told his captains, are
breeding places Of crime" and must
be closed if the new police admin
istration is to clean up the city.
Gum Shoe" Squad Disbanded
Each captain will be held person.
ally responsible for his district.
Whale said, and will have to work
against the speakeasies without the
assistance Of the gum shoe" squad.
The gum shoe" squad, or the per-
Sonal investigation bureau as it is
officially known, was disbanded
Thursday by Whalen'S orders. In
spector Lewis j. Valentine was re-
duced to the rank Of captain and
assigned to an obscure precinct in
Long Island City.
Whalen emphasized he would not
countenance overlapping meth
DDS, and for that reason he said
he saw no use in continuing the
"gum-shoe" squad. There are forty
men in the confidential squad. all
of whom will be assigned to new
posts.
Wants Slayer's Arrest
1t was revealed that Whalen con-
siders the arrest Of the slayer Of
Arnold Rothstein as of supreme inn
portance.
