WHY THIS BELATED “CLEAN-UP?” An announcement was made by the Police Commissioners: on | Frupay, Oct. 20 Wednesday afternoon that the dismissal of two police constables had been decided upon. brave pretence of upholding public virtue. The Board of Police Commissioners made a The Acting-Chairman in a statement to the press, is reported to have said that ‘‘The Com- missioners intend to put a stop to this intimacy between the police and the restricted district.”’ This is a quite excellent decision. this intimacy to exist at all. have tolerated and protected it. But why has the Board allowed Since the Board came into power they They have insulted respectable citizens who sought to arouse their attention to the disgraceful con- ditions that were well known to exist. date in the year for the Board to waken up to this decision. ton we sudden decision to have a October 18th is a very late Ever since the Board fooled the Moral and Social and Reform Council into passing a resolution of thanks for their work in creating a vice monopoly for the benefit of the parlor-house keepers, their “efforts to rid the town of undesirable characters” are an object for suspicion. If the Board is sincere in its dismissal of the officers on public and moral grounds, why was their meeting held behind closed doors? If the Board is sincere in its dismissal of the officers on public and mora! grounds, how does it happen that three months ago they sent the following offensive Jetter to a citizen, who laid a charge against one of the officers, on the sworn testimony of a woman. Following is the Clerk’s letter, showing the attitude of the Board of Police Commissioners on these moral and public questions so recently as August Ist: “I am directed to state in reply that it is observed that the information is laid by one Gipsy Hamilton, a notorious pros- titute. .who is now awaiting judgment on a charge of keeping a common bawdy house. “Under the circumstances it is deemed unreasonable for the Board of Police Commissioners to take any notice of such information, and the Board considers it is quite competent to deal with any question affecting its police officers without proceeding upon information laid by a prostitute. “It appears from your letter that you have begun proceedings in the Police Court, and the Board will await with interest the result of such proceedings without taking any part in the same.” There is another question the Police Commissioners might answer. Why was the unfortunate creature referred to in the letter, threatened by the police with arrest and imprisonment unless she left the town, at a time when the Police Court investigation was pending, unless the Board had committed themselves to a policy of shielding the conduct of their officers from investigation. Why did the Board refuse to act in August? Why was the Hamil- »man driven out of town by threats, the moment she threatened alk? What is the reason for the new policy? What is behind this ‘“‘clean-up’’ on the force? ~~ GRAND MATINEE SATURDAY AFTERNOON Doors open at 2,30. Curtain at 3 sharp.
