SQUAD
MEN DROPPED
MISS KOEHNE

Precinct commanders were or
dered to shoulder full response
bility for prohibition enforcement
by Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glass
ford, superintendent of police, yes
terday when he ordered II men
detailed to duty with the head
quarters liquor squad back to pre-
cincts and uniforms.
Only five men were left on
the headquarters squad which
will continue to function under
Lieut.. George Little, and which
will work primarily to block i'm
portation of liquor into the Dis
trict.
Practically all raids will be left
entirely to the precincts, and Gen.
eral Glassford has warned pre-
cinct commanders that they will
be held responsible for any liquor
scandal that may develope in their
territory.
Each captain has been told to
pick out men in his command to
enforce prohibition in his precinct.
These names will be sent to head
quarters and scanned. Where men
of doubtful reputation have been
selected the commanders will be
forced to explain.
The breaking up of the big
headquarters squad is in line with
General Glassford's plans to de-
centralize police duty, leaving
routine business to the precincts
and solution of major crimes to
headquarters.

slaughter Charge,

fatal stabbing ARRAY in Town lot
on. Saturday evening, May 14th.
Giuseppe Cariola, AZ, was the VIC
tim of the attack.
Mascia and several other friends
spent the greater part of the day
working with Cariola. In the eve-
ming they had some food and liquid
refreshments and later someone
proposed a game Of tucco. An ar
gument developed during. the
course of the pastime and Mascia
and Cariola came to blows. APP
parently several became involved
In the melee, which ended when
Cariola fell to the ground bleeding
freely from a deep wound in the
side. He died while being rushed
to st Marys hospital. The report
of Coroner John r. Monzani inti-
mated that he bled to death.
Six other men, all witnesses of
the affair, were arrested with Mas
cha shortly after the police took
charge of the investigation. They
we're detained at police headquar-
tiers for nearly a week before the
police definitely decided to pin the
charge on Mascia. No knife was
found on any of the prisoners
which could possibly have inflicted
the wounds that caused Cariola's
death.
Attorney Edward Mascola, ap-
pearing to-day for Mascia, in
formed Judge John II. McGrath
that he waived examination on the
charge.

early today to the police. They
included chicken market at IS

They gave ADDRESSED in all parts of

Strawberry supplies were increas-
