But no spirit of empathy moved the

also catapulted to patronise the club.
Canola Submittborner said that petrol-
men had frequently violated his roles.
They practically Med him. The Tam-
many Hull club. of which Commissioner
She-than wee president. upheld these men.
and they were enabled to not thus erbi-
trerlly through political influence. Many
policemen were members of this club, es
were no- Ceptnins Devcry, Price and
Strain.
Disorderly houses were operated with
police oonnlvance. and so thorough woe
the understanding that crimes committed
within these dives wore kept secret forev—
er. Policemen who disobeyed instructions
by interfering with then houses, were pun~
hired by tronefer to other beats.
Schmlttberger said that his appointment
as captain was made by Commissioner
Voorhis without remuneration, and he
believed that the latter is an honest man.
When witness took commend of the storm-
bent squad. Werdmnn Vail told him that
the men on the docks had been forced to
give up half of their extra money. Wit-
ncae did not want to continue the custom,
but anl told him he would he a feel if he
did not; that the men were willing. So
he agreed. Vail did the collecting for two
months, nnd Wardmnn Gannon succeeded
him. The monthly collections averaged
.190. lnepectur Steers told Schmittborger
that us there was so little money in the
precinct he could keep it all. At his own
request Schmittherger was transferred to
the Sixty—seventh Street station.
Inspector William lmpllcated.
There the source of his revenue was the
policy shops. of which there were about
ten and from each of which he roclevod
$20 monthly. The Bohemian Liquor
Deniern’ interrelation paid him 680 n month.
Schmlttborgor's shore of this won 80 per
cent, which he sold woe divided with In-
spector Willinme
This was the first real sensation of the
captain's confession. Williams, who has
so persistently maintainer! his readiness
to appear before the committee. was ac-
cuecd by a fellow officer. It was some
time before Counsel Goff would proceed.
Schmlttborger said he paid 860 to Wil-
liams at police headquarters He had been
forced to pay thle money to Williams in
order to make good his guaranty of pro-
tection to the policy shops. Afterward he
was transferred to the Twenty-seventh
precinct. where he also collected money
from policy shops and poolrooma Ward-
mun Gannon got 20 per cent of the collec-
tlone. and Inspector William: received
32:20 per month. The witnces and Mr. Goff
showrd that Inspector Williams must have
known of those policy shops and pool
rooms.
