FINDNEW GRAFT IN PHLADELPH Discovery of Protsction Pay- ments Makes Others Seem Small Philadelphia, Oct. 3 M—A new form of alleged police graft, which makes the “protection” money said to have beemn paid by bootleggers look small {n comparison, has been uncovered by District Attorney Monaghan, who is conducting the grand jury investigation of rum runners and gangsters' activities. The new system was revealed with the arrest of four detectives, charged with extorting money from the proprietor of a disorderly house. Each of the detectives was held in $2,500 bail for trial. They were alleged to have col- lected $220 a week from a single disorderly house in a police district in which 50 such establishments were reported by the district com- mander to have been operating. $330 Weekly Olga Barton, proprietor of one of these places, in testifying against the detectives, John Casey, \Warren Robinson, James Kelly and William Dixey, declared that her payments for protection, starting at $45 & week, had been raised on demands of the detectives until they finally had reached $220 a week. Assistant District Attorney Hermes | told Judge Edwin O. Lewis, before | whom the prisoners were arraigned, that each of the 50 establishments had paid similar amounts for pro- tection, or a total of approximately $11,000 a week in a single police district. The arrest of two police captains, whose “secret riches” were said by the district attorney to have been discovered by his investigators, was expected today. Mr. nearly $250,000 in the last two and & half years.

This captain also had a saving fund account of $8,500 and | he had a safe deposit box for the storage of his valuable papers. “The investigation has shown in- | ordinate police wealth. It has shown immense sums paid to police officials by bootleggers and saloon- keepers, and yesterday we uncov- ered the most horrible form of po- lice protection—disorderly houses— | in a case which gives indications of vast sums paild over to men sworn to enforce the laws." Charles C. Beckman, suspended captain of detectives, was to appear again today before the civil service | commission in a continuation of his ' leave Boston today on the steamship | trial on charges of conduct unbe- coming an officer. The charges em- brace alleged acts of Beckman re- vealed in testimony before grand jury, which led that body to recommend his suspension as “un- fit to hold any public oftice.” FIGHT TALK COSTLY Doncaster, Eng., Oct. 3.

Gibbs robbed the train at Chat- ham, Ont., and gaining access to the mail car, held three memsengers at bay with a pistol while he looted the registered bags. Then as the en- gine slowed down for a stop at Prairle Siding Gibbs dropped from the mail car, but reboarded the rear coach of the train. Rides on Rods The train was stopped outside Windsor while crown authorities questioned the crew, but Gibbs, sit- ting on the rods beneath the rear car, was not discovered. After the investigation the train was released and Gibbs' car was ferried across the Detroit river. Here the young bandit came to grief, for immigration officers were on the lookout for smuggled aliens |when the ferry docked and Gibbs was diseovered when he came from | nis hiding place. The shabbily clad youngster was| |searched and $6.500 in bank notes| was found stuffed in his shirt, while he carried two sealed currency packages containing $10,000 and 86,500 respectively. The customs | men turned Gibbs over to local po lice, who already had received wire to be on the lookout for hlm from provincial authorities. Admits Crime Gibbs readily admitted the rob- | superficlal check, according to Windsor police, indicated that the loot may amount to $100,000. Canadlan railway officlals, how- ever, were of the opinion that the money found on Gibbs was all that had been taken. Gibbs, who described himself as a “hobo,” said he came to Windsor three weeks ago. He bewalled the “one little break” that resulted in his arrest. “Why, the fellow that arrested me didn't even know a train had been stuck up,” he said. RUSSELL WOOD S BACK ON THE JoB Secret Service Man I Guarding Jobn Goolidge New Haven, Oct. 3 (A—Russell Wood, secret service man, was back in his accustomed place today—at John Coolidge's side. Wood, who had been John's constant companion since John entered Amherst college, was recalled to Washington shortly. after young Coolidge entered the em«~ ploy of the New Haven road here several weeks ago. Yesterday when John visited the ‘rallro:d station to see his mother | who was passing through on her way | from Northampton, to Washington, Wood was with him. It was believed that the accident in which John drove Gov.

Prior to the performance mem- bers of the cast were given letters from the Actors’ Equity Association advising them not to appear in the production except with the permis- | sion of the courts. The associa- tion entered bail for all members of the cast after their arrests, but the letter asserted if the members chose to ignore its advice it would “wash its hands of them and con- sider no further appeals for help. $500 Bail Arraigned in West Side police court yesterday afternoon the play- and Miss West were continued in $500 bail each for a hearing to- morrow afternoon. Miss West at the office of her at- torney later denied the play either was immoral or obscene. “The trouble is,” she said, “some people seem to have the idea that if a play is written by Mae West it must be a dirty play. T never wrote any dirt or filth.

Ot next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Cald- well always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for constipation, known as Dr, Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, isa mild vegetable ‘compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not a habit forming prepara- tion. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant- tasting, and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. Thousands of moth- ers have written us to that effect. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did | rot believe they were good for hu- | man beings to put into their system. |In a practice of 47 years he never |saw any reason for thelr use when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly, more cleanly and gently without griping and harm to the system.
