On the contrary, the law will be just as rigidly enforced, the police will have just as many men available fog this work and violtators will be just as se- verely dealt with. At the meeting of the police board last night, in addition to retiring Chief W. J. Rawlings on a pension, effective August 1, the board took the above action. That this action was taken contrary to the advice and wishes of State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn seems to be generally admitted, as it is understood that Mr. Alcorn even went so far as to recommend increasing the person- nel of the vice-squad. Distinction—No Differcnce. As the situation now stands, rela- tive to the vice-squad, it is a distinc- tion without a difference. The board's opinion is that the vice-squad was detailed to clean up illicit liquor ‘deal- ings here and now that this has been satisfactorily done, its duties as a special squad cease. Hereafter it will be the duty of the police on various heats to assume responsibility for conditions in their vicinity. The de- tective bureau will also add to its list of duties. Then, at any time that the chief sees fit to assign special men to do any special work in this connee- tion he is at liberty to do so. In a Lmitshell, ponce will have just as many menm available for clean-up work, the dif- ference being that they will be as. igned from time to time for indi. vidual cases, rather than be detailed to this particular job with nothing else to do.
