During a time like this It Is the duty of
every citizen to help the police, for It Is a
big task to keep a city clean Personally I
was not connected with the Investigation,
but know that It was of such a character
that Immediate action must be taken by the
police,
"I urged Davis to cet busy at once and
do all that Is possible to clean up the city.
In other cities It was necessary for the
military authorities to step In and do the
work. Such action It not a good advertise,

Vigilance that is 100 per cent effleient must
be, maintained The city' police department
Is equal to the task If It exhibits the desire."
