LITTLE GRAFT FOUND

Greatly Exaggerated.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 23-The royal
commission, which has investigated DO
lice procedure in London, In its report
Yesterday was unanimous in saying
that there was very little evidence of
misconduct by police in investigation of
crime. There was no evidence Of the
use OF third-degree methods nor any
disposition on the part Of police to
trump up charges.
The practice Of sending officers into
night clubs disguised as guests was
called wholly Objectionable and its
prohibition was recommended. Street
betting was said to present an almost
insoluble problem because Of the UNI
satisfactory existing legislation.
The commission said that, while cor
ruption was not unknown in the police
force, its extent had been greatly ex-
aggerated and it was mainly associated
with enforcement of laws which are
out Of harmony with public opinion It
was remarked that many complaints
made by the public should have been
directed, not against the police, but
against the laws they are called upon
to enforce.
