The chief resents The Star’s taking an inter- est in the affair. _ The Star has always believed it to be its duty to bring to light cases of brutal- ity in the police department. The Star did this long before the police department ever heard of Chief Lang, and will continue to do so just as long as such brutal- ity exists. In this particular case, The Star is not trying to “get” either of the two patrolmen of whose actions complaint has been made. It is the element which they typify that The Star believes should be weeded out of the depart- ment. The police department is just as good as the worst man in it. If officers are to be permitted to be brutal bullies, then the department will defeat its own object. The department should enjoy the co-operation and friendship and support of all decent citizens. A bullying and officious police- man can make such a spirit impossible. The chief sent a letter to The Star today, stating that a hearing is to be held Thursday of the charges against the two officers, AND NOTIFYING THE STAR TO HAVE ITS WITNESSES APPEAR AND TESTIFY AGAINST THE ACCUSED PATROLMEN. The chief seems to have an idea that The The Star isn’t. The Star has given Lang the names and addresses of witnesses who saw the cruelly, revolting arrest, last [hursday, of James Reynolds. Two hundred other persons looked on as the two big patrolmen dragged the gray-haired man thru the street. The Star made a public complaint. It is up to Chief Lang now Aa witnesses before him AND GET AT THE BOTTOM OF THE If Lang hasn’t sufficient interest in the proper administration of his depart- ment to handle the case the rest of the way, he is not a fit man to be chief of come converted and reborn they} police. are entitled to a new name. | “Every one connected with the FOUND SLAIN society knew she and I were not Senofonte Manzi, of 612 Marion married.” st., Was one of a number of persons Star is going to act as prosecutor. asked me why I didn't give her my} } AS 5 BODY OF GIRL “When one of our followers be- Can't Remember Registering Prosecutor Friend then opened up a new line of inquiry “Did you not live with her dt the Sorrento hotel, occupying the same rooms, night after night?

The circulation gain was nearly ten thousand, or more than 20 per cent, which means that Star advertising increased in value the you know of any other safe, conservative investment which has increased as fast during the past year? same proportion, Do
