be quite impossible to describe the
modesty of the generous sponsor. He
imposed upon me absolute silence, and
1t is only now that I am permitted to
acknowledge for the Cathedral chapter
his great benefaction. In all my con-
facts with Mr.. Anderson during the
construction of the chapel, I was
deeply impressed not only by his re-

In some respects, his gift, which rep
resented s500,00O, was altogether
unique in the form of its presentation.
To me personally it meant the making

quotation from letter written by
Mr.. Anderson on December 26, 1927,

Keeping The Police
Department Clean

TTNHE indictments which have been returned naming
/ several policemen charges of conspiracy to
avoid the gambling laws will not destroy even
apprecablv weaken the confidence which Washing
tonans feel in the honesty and integrity of the Metro
potan Police Department a whole.
Rather since the information upon which the indict
ments are based was gathered by members of the de-
partmen the exposure of the alleged irregularities of
these few may be taken indication of the deter
mnation of the department to keep its own house clean
Apparently the department, under the direction of
Major Ernest L. Brown, conducted thorOughgong in
vestgation when reports reached headquarters that
some of its members involved with the gambling
element of the community.
Out of that investigation have indictments
naming exactly five policemen
When real investigation can find only five men
wrong out of nearly fifteen hundred the city has moth
ing to fear to the probty of its enforcing arm
The Police Department seems to be almost completely
free of the close alliance which exists in commun
ties between aw-breakers and law-enforcers.
In many communities grating policemen are taken
as a matter of course.
That, happily, is not true in the National Capital.
or wholesale connection exists here between the vicious
elements and those who charged with protecting
the city against those elements.
There may petty racketeering Of the type aegedly
revealed in these indictments.
That, of course, is a vicious thing in itself
It must be stamped out it will rot the entire city
Fortunately Major Browns men clearly indicate that
they intend to do the stamping themselves to do it
promptly and to do it completely.
