WHAT is A CONSPIRACY

Ones estimation of jury inteln-
gence-admittedly sometimes at a
low ebb when considering the ver-
dicts-reaches a higher altitude
when considering the verdict Of three
such bodies in New York, where the
question OF conspiracy to violate the
prohibition law was under determin.
alton. 1t is VIGOROUSLY difficult to
convict of the charge OF conspiracy.
due to the intricate legal meaning Of
the term. Had one of the juries fol-
lowed the reasoning of Judge Mack
in Federal court, however. 1t would
have been q ridiculously easy
process. The jury evidently thought
the judges view was going too far. !"
According to the judge, the gov
eminent did not need to prove that
the defendants sold liquor: all that
was needed was to find they had
agreed to sell 1t. The judge gave a
succinct Interpretation of the WILLIE
brandt idea of law when he address,
ed the jury In the following words:
For instance, man goes out and
| opens a speakeasy. He tells people
that he has opened the place and is
going to sell liquor. He says to some
man. I want you for my bartender
or waiter. They may catch you. but
can't charge you with conspiracy.
The worst you can be charged with
Is the charge Of selling liquor
Whether or not they knew they
were guilty of conspiracy, they have
entered into an agreement and 1t Is
immaterial II they did not or did
know they were committing that
crime"
The jury was carefully drawn: It
had no love for speakeasies or night
clubs. But 1t couldn't swallow this
doctrine. The result was no victory
for speakeasies. but for common
sense. The defendants should have
been charged with selling liquor.
when they probably would have
been convicted. considering that the
evidence in court included even a key
Of whisky obtained by dry agents.
This testimony. and that which told
how dry agents bought liquor In the
places. was not to be considered in
weighing the conspiracy charge. the
judge said. Such evidence was entire
ly irrelevant. he added. and need
not have been presented.
Desirable as it may be to control
the illegal liquor traffic. or to eradi-
cate it entirely. 1t is equally desir-
able to prevent evil precedents to be
esta blished in the process II those
who, knowingly or unknowingly.
take part In a misdemeanor are to
be regarded as conspirators. then the
way would be paved for untold diff
culties later.
The charges now will be changed
to hitting nuisances. These will
be much easier to prove than con-
spiracy.

NJ. At present the detective bureau
has twe detective sergeants and one

sergsants on duty for three months
At . time. these returning to night

bureau assignment. One detective
sergeant IL in charge of the bureau.
At times patrolmen in pairs are de-
tailed to the bureau for special OBJ
jectives, 70 that it Is perfectly safe
to conclude that there are seven men
In the bureau. including the man in
charge.
Now comes the most peculiar
point. the one that needs rectifica-
ton. All sergeants. whether they are
detective sergeants. street sergeants.
traAac sergeants or any other SER
geants are equal In rank and draw
equal salary. Merely by designating

track Of the department and in
reality does the work that a man in
higher rank would be expected to
do. OF course. his salary is the same
a. that Of any other sergeant, and
II 1t were not for the fact that he
il designated as the chief of detec-
tives the other sergeants in the de-
tective bureau would need to take no
orders from him.
The police board. II 1t is worth its
salt. ought to be regarded as know
ing how the department under 1t
should be organized. The duty Of the
board IL to keep the police depart
ment efIicient. just as it is the duty
OF the school board to keep the
schools ehicient. The police board.
after thorough investigation, has
come to the conclusion that the de-
tective department needs lieuten-
ant Of detectives in charge. and in
our estimation the police board
knows what 1t is about. The matter

ton made some years ago, and be-
cause at that time the matter was
not settled right we are confronted
with the present attempt to settle it.
II 1t isn't settled right now it means
that the problem will press for set
Element at a later date. In short.
there Is only one way to settle such
an organization problem and that is
to DO It in conformity with common
sense.

In signing the Cooper-Hawes bill
President Coolidge has done his part
TO prevent prison made goods from
continuing a factor in interstate
commerce. This means that prison
goods can no longer be shipped be-
tween states: they will have to be
consumed within the states or not
made. It will mean a considerable
readjustment in the prisons Of the
country. The law passed because 1t
had the backing of manufacturers
and laboring men-both desiring to
lid themselves Of prison competition.

Mellon, who once owned an inter-
est in whisky distillery. il regarded
Of lukewarm toward prohibition.
Rightly Or wrongly. the prohibition
lists blame him for some of the fail
ures connected with the federal dry
law.
The argument that Secretary Mel
lon has been having with Bishop
James Cannon OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church South tends to
strengthen the belief among certain
prohibitionists that the secretary has
a mind OF his own about the law,
and that this opinion does not always
help the good cause. The secretary.
1t will be remembered. opposed the
suggestion Of the dry leaders that an
! additional $24.00o,000 be appro-
priated to be used for enforcement.
The secretary's position. although
logical In view of the $1,000 liquor
cases already congesting the federal
courts, will never meet with the
approval OF the Anti-Saloon League.
The appropriation was passed by the
Senate. however. and II 1t goes
through the House and Is signed by
President Coolidge it will be quite Z
prize package for the incoming
executive. But this has nothing In
common with what he will do about
Mellon.
Mr.. Hoover, prohibitionist. is faced
with the dilemma Of dropping Mel
Ion. a highly capable treasury secre-
tary at the behest Of the drys. May
be he will or perhaps he won't:
whatever he does 1t will create
criticism-by the drys or by the
financial and industrial world.
