HE One of the divisions of the police department is the detective division. of the detective division is Charles Tennant, captain of detectives. Lhe head One of the duties of the detective division is to catch murderers. It is a duty in the performance of which the detective division has failed dismally. More than a week has passed since the revolting killings of Mrs. Florence Wehn and Aaron Rehfeld. Nobody has been arrested. The police have no idea who committed cither crime. To do murder in Seattle is a comgaratively safe and pleasant pastime. During the past three years, 23 persons have been brutally killed by murderers Here is a list of the crimes: &. ana Jearne AN USNIDEST (1) s hurted Th wae crushed and the body muti LEON KONG, who stll are at large. 1D MAN, found (2) (3) ed - Nody orebeniy hed been thrown into bay MARTINI ANTONE, shot ond killed , alae by Vou Der .

Neither The Star nor the Seattle public gives a hang about the eternal bickering in the police organization, so long as it does not seriously interfere with police efficiency. » The Star has no desire to mix into the politics of But the public is entitled to protection. It is what we have policemen for. Whether or not the public is getting this protection can be determined only by re- sults. And when 23 murderers slip thru the hands of our detective division in the space of three years, and get clean away, it is pretty plain that the detective division, as organized under Captain Tennant, is not delivering the goods. CAP- TAIN TENNANT, AS CHIEF OF DETECTIVES, SEEMS, BY ALL RULES OF LOGIC, TO BE THE MAN WHO IS TO BLAME. If Captain Tennant cannot catch murderers, it is clearly the duty of Chief Beckingham to put him back to work “pounding a beat” and to put in charge of the detectives someone who knows how to get results.
