The $5,000 “stick up” of Brewster Cigar Co, em- ployes yesterday makes it especially timely. Altho you do not admit it, a is obvious that there was a leak in the department by which these thugs knew the psychologi time to strike. se why did they wait weeks while company employes were being guarded by police, and strike on the ve day the police guard was removed? It is known that other “jobs” of similar nature have been tipped from inside the department in the past and arrests prevented, This would explain, chief, your statement that at least a part of the merchants have lost confidence in the force, Your claim that you cannot find this | foundation. It’s a big job! Why not simplify it Two of the three captains at central station have been on the job there for 10 years or more. The third has been there since you appointed him. We are not inferring that all of these men are not doing good work, chief. But we believe 10 years on one job puts a man in a rut Subordinates have opportunity to build machines of their own—to stray from the path in this rich field of illegal gains-unless watched with ceaseless vigilance. And 10 years on one job doesn’t make for ceaseless vigilance, Our suggestion, chief, is for a new deal in captains. Give some of the precinct captains a turn at cen- tral station. They will come in with new ideas, new incentive, new vigilance! If the leak in the police department is below the rank of captain, you will find it mighty quick. If it is not, your search will be made easier, We'll print your answer to this letter Monday, chief, if you desire. ak has some THE STAR. in Duty in Case UPERIOR JUDGE CALVES HALL Saturday denounced (se to thé pebleohtlary; “Whar man serves his first sentence I lieve he should have some solicitu Floyd T, Richardson of man- | “But on the second sentence I slaughter of Patrolman BR.
