CLEANING THE TENDERLOIN. ‘When Sheehan came down from the Bronx to take charge of the Tenderloin police station; when Walsh Was transferred there in the closing days of the Part- fidge administration; when Commissioner Greene moved OReilly up to this more responsible post as a reward for his good work downtown, each captain marked the beginning of his new duties by a public statement of what he expected to accomplish in the way of ‘cleaning the Tenderloin” and set a time limit for its purification. The Evening World took occasion to doibt their all- ity to “make good.” It reminded them that though captains had come and gone the Tenderloin was still wide open. And it pointed out that to move the greater vested interests of vice there was not only a harder task than to purify an east side precinct, but it was practi- cally beyond the power of a police captain, Full confirmation of thjs opinion is had in Gen Greene's statement to the public yesterday on beginning his efforts for the reform of this notorious precinct. | “O'Reilly,” says the Commissioner, “is an honest man. | Tam satisfied he has done the best. he could, He han haa) nd with nien and circumstances he conld mot} ‘ Bee | ; istrict-Attorney Jerome, while admitting that the, Tenderloin “isn't clean now and hasn't been since he| « ‘was a boy,” thinks it could be cleaned within two weeks. This, would be a herculean task, and it implies no dis- paragement of the Commissioner's ability and ea,nest- ness to allow him a larger time limit within which to. give even a satisfactory assurance that he can aceomplish what hitherto has been deemed the impossible, The banishment of thirty-one patrolmen to distant precincts and the transfer of others to new posts indi- cate an energetic beginning by the Commissioner of| prmatory measures, from which the public will be) peful of good results. © Incidentally, it would like to know whether it is these Paniehed policemen or officials higher up that O'Reflly ,fgould not control.” C8BAAAMAAAA AAR MDOT THE OLD JOKES’ HOME, By Roy L.
