Commissioner Whalen, after taklngi stock of a two-day round-up of the underworld, sald his force had cap-|| tured eight criminals of major impor- | tance. These men had been sought for seri- ous offenses. i No details were given as to the crimes | charged to these men or their identity. but it was learned that several were | wanted for murder and others for rob-: beries. ! In addition the commissioner dis-| closed that several gunmen had been| caught in the net and that an especial | effort is being made to clean the city | of pistol-carrying criminals. It is the S ECRSBERCIEIREgE RN i & TS TETEVETETE TR TETETETE | IXLE FIHHO T I view of a forcing the bandit to discard his gun is | “pulling his fangs.” | The commissioner believes gangsters have made hasty exits from the city | in large numbers. There were but eight | arrests from late Saturday until last! night. Liquor Deaths Decrease. i Authorities were further congratulat- | ing themselves on the small number of | deaths recorded recently as due tol poisoned liquor. The police commis- sioner belleves that this, in a measure,l oF is the result of the increased activ of his men against back-room speak easles. A cleanup of these as a safety measure of prime importance, he inti: mated, will be one of the chief aims o! his administration. Mr. Whalen has intimated that he has had a talk with Mayor Walker on co-operation of police magistrates re- garding this phase of police activity and that a conference with the Magistrates’ Board with a view to securing_closer | co-operation between the bench and | police was soon to be arranged. i There were indications that Mr. Whalen was not yet ready to leave, supervision of his force entirely in the hands of his newly appointed sub- | ordinates and that he preferred for the | moment, at I?nl to make his own secret observation: Yesterday, it was learned, Mr. Whalen made a tour of some of the principal | undreworld districts in Manhattan ‘ndicitizen:‘ Association Proposes to| the Bronx. Beyond the morning survey, however, the commission spent the holiday with his family. Two Taken With Silks. The two men taaken to police head- quarters for the line-up were King Schonberg, 20 years old, and Daniel Walstein, 28. ‘They were arrested as they were leaving a building, it is al- leged, with $1,500 worth of silk They were charged with burglary.
