said he had a "fair chance" be-
fore a board Of policemen. Hence
1t is considered unlikely that they
will reverse the findings.
Next Monday Capt. Robert z.
Doyle. Of the Eighth Precinct,
who upheld Allen in the latter's
statement that he thought the
District Attorneys Office had
been lax in handling charges
against William Lee Moffatt, a
broker, is scheduled for trial on
insubordination charges.
Charges against Doyle are based
on q letter he wrote in answer to
queries from Pratt regarding Moi
fats arrest, as were those against
Allen.
Whether Captain Doyle will ac-
tually go before the board is con-
sidered doubtful, however.
It was reliably reported that two
letters Of conciliation were drafted
by Doyle'S attorneys, to be signed
by him and submitted to Major
Pratt as q peace measure. The
first letter was considered salts

proposed and that the officials
also refused to meet these terms.

THREE REPORTERS
Three Washington newspaper
reporters, sent out by their news
paper to ascertain the truth Of
statements that had been made by
drys Of the capital that Washing
ton was much drier than any other
city Of the country, were able to
buy whisky in 40 places. The news
paper published the stories; the
grand jury summoned the re-
porterS and a Judge sent them to
Jail when they refused to divulge
the sources of their information
and the names Of the botleggers.
Aside from the question Of ethics
which the reporters raised-and
the Judge, a member Of the legal
profession, which Is ticklish about
ethics, refused to recognize any
question of it in this case-the
case has other aspects that would
indicate q complete inSincertty on
the part Of the Judge.
What he wants to know, what
the Grand Jury wants to know,
oStenSibly, Is who is selling whisky
in Washington. Manifestly, 1t Is
not the business Of newspaper re-
porters to tell them.
Washington has federal off
GERS, since it is a federal city. 1t
has q federalized police depart
ment. It has prohibition officers
by the scores. The Supreme Court
has given those agents even the
privilege of wire tapping. They
can hook into anybody's telephone
line to secure evidence.
The agents and policemen have
ten times the facilities for obtain
ing evidence that three reporters,
who do not make a business Of
rounding up hootleggers, have.
If the judge wants and the Grand
Jury are sincere in their desire to
know who is selling whisky in
Washington, they can find out by
sending agents out to buy it.
That is what the newspaper did.
That is what the police could do
If they were honest enough to
do 1t.
What the three reporters found
is not at all q circumstance to the
indictment Of the United States
attorney for the District of Co
lumbia and the police of the Dis
trict made by DR.. Jason Noble
Pierce, pastor Of the church which
President Coolidge attended. He
debunks the claim Of Washington
to being the "driest and clean
est" city In the country. The
noble doctor says:
Law violations in Washington
are increasing. There is more
systematized bootlegging Illicit
manufacture and sale Of hard
liquor than there was five years
ago. and these evils never go
alone.
