Policemen c. Evans and j. A.
Hunt arrived and put the three
men under arrest. According to
Miss Jacobs, Davis said, hes
only a policeman. Kill him. One
police officer doesn't mean any
thing.

Second precinct and locked up.
Inspector A. J. Headley and
Sergt. J. T. WittStatt Of the
Second precinct, who investigated
said Davis appeared to have been
drinking. A gill Of alleged in
toxicating liquor is alleged to
have been found on his person.
Mary Burton, Gloria Gorden
and Marie Rego were at the
apartment when the alleged rob-
berry occurred. The Burton
woman was not at court today
because Of sickness.
Assistant District Attorney
Charles r. Murray Fused at
first to make out papers for the
robbery, due to the fact that no
money had been found when
the defendants were searched.
High police officials, however,
contended that Davis had not
been searched until he reached
the Second precinct.
They demanded that the matter
be sent to the Grand Jury for
a thorough investigation, it is
understood. Inspector Headley
said I'VE won't tolerate such a
policeman on the force, and
we're going to show the public
what we do with them"
All three defendants pleaded
not guilty.

that the Prohibition Bureau is

Il have in the past" said
Wheeler, "voted for the pronlbi-
ton laws in the belief that if
enforced they would be of great
benefit to the great mass of our
people.
"But after 10 years of prohibi.
tion, there has been a complete
breaking down of law enforcement
in the country. This is true in
various sections in which liquor
can be bought now as freely as
before prohibition.

''I don't know whether this is
due to inefficiency or corruption

Hold
Everything
-By JOE HOLMAN

Believe it or not-and it's hard
to believe-the National League
now boasts a carbon copy Of Art
Shires. In other words it has a
Whataman of its own.
Like Shires, Dizzy Dean, rangy
st. Louis Cardinal pitcher, is a
native of Texas. He got his start
in the Western League before
breaking in with the Red Birds.
Dizzy, who stands a good SIX
feet, did not attend the world
series in which his club partici-
pated. After beating Pittsburgh
late in the season, to /, he
motored homeward, eulogtzing
himself and his prowess as he
travelled.
During a brief stop-off at st.
Joseph, Mo-, Dean said:
"Gabby Street begged me to
accompany the Cards to Phila-
delphfa. But I simply wasn't
interested. Major league base
balPS cinCh and I'd hate to
attend a world series in which
1 wasn't eligible.
II want to congratulate Sam
BreadOn for signing me before
left St. Louis. That locks up
the 1881 National League pen
naE1t. What am / getting? Only
200 berries per month. But
I'm going to fool the boys and
pull down a big bonus for next
years work"
Dlsmlssing Dizzy's braggadocio
for moment, it is timely to OBJ.
serve that he has plenty on the
ball. His fast one is said to have
a puzzling hop and his curve
breaks wide.
There's chance that he may
prove a big league sensation. But.
regardless of his fate, he will al
way be known to National League
fans as Dizzy-he has rightly
earned that nickname.
