A. Kum, ft THE CHIER’S HARD eec=: TASK The ease with which a reporter for The Star secured the conviction of cigar store proprietors who make gambling a side or a main issue, rather puts Chief of Police Ward in a position where he must either consider himself a person who magnifies difficulties or looks upon strict veracity as a negligible virtue Ever since he has teen in office Chief Ward has excused himself and his officers for not stopping cigar store gambling on the ground that che could not get the evidencg to convict and what made these excuses the more remarkable is that the chief received every month $150 toalo just this kind of police work The Star has never been deceived by these flimsy eva sions, anc has fully realized that at any time the polige desired to prohibit cigar store gambling, they could do it in one night And just to demonstrate the possibility of this, The Star as- signed a reporter, G. Stuart Costello, to segure a conviction Mr. Costello, with an expenditure of less than $5, convicted two of the proprietors of cigar store gambling games, who pleaded guilty and paid their fines. 4 Neither The Star nor Mr, Costello believes this to have been a great police or prosecuting feat. On the contrary, it was simplicity itself. Nothing could have been easier, and yet for nearly a year our police have thrown up their hands im desperation every time the subject of gambling was men tioned When Chief Ward was informed of the conviction, he gave a carefully realistic imitation of a person who was greatly astonished, and from this he went into exuberance, and prom ised that henceforth gampling would be stopped, as he would follow the guiding Star. This sounded very nice indeed, and would be appreciated except for the knowledge that certain members of the police department did all in their power to prevent the conviction of the cigar store men, even going to the extent af “tipping” off the proposed raid, when the in- formation was first given to the department by Mr, Costello. But this is neither here nor there. The salient point of the whole matter is that one reporter, with a $5 gold piece, went out and accomplished in a few hours in one night what the whole Seattle police department for a year has assured the peblic was an ithpossibility. Ii the common sense and intelli ence of one reporter is equal to the sum total of the brain power of the police department, it is time that some sort of ® major operation should be performed and some cranial obe- sity removed. The police department's little joke is over for a few days. Imperious orders will be given, a few raids will take place, @ad the department will then relapse into its chronic state of somnambulistic inefficiency. a .
