Milwaukee Annua Carrousel to Be Investigated by Inspector Schaack. THE JUSTICE Mayor 'Waohbarns has not yet bad a chance to consols with Corporation Counsel Millet on the subject of lee-grabbing by the police justice. "I really have not had time to look into this matter yet," be told a reporter yesterday, "but I will certainly take it up at the earliest opportunity.

The past week ha been an nn- time has been occupied with city matters of cmat importance, that demanded immediate However, it is my intention to investigate the police justice matter, and the sooner 1 get at it the better. I hope to take it np within Ha n4 few Anva. B. F. RicboUon, Assistant Corporation Counsel, has 'this to say on the subject 'There can be no question as to what the ordinance says and means.

It says explicitly that the police justices shall be paid entirely by salary, and teat tbey eball turn orer to toe city all fees whatsoever that they "Isn't that plain enough? Yet the ordinance goes still further, in order that its true meaning can not be misunderstood by any one. It says that the police justice, before entering upon the duties of his office, must file with the Comptroller a relinquishment of all fees. "Kiit nn MnitniAfann bs nnt on that- which is that the police justices havs no right to keep any fees and if tney do keep any fM tiwv dsh it in viAlafwin of tho ordinanfifi. Attornev this matter came ud and I had oc- ra.inn la examine into it nrettv thoroughly. The police justices then objected to turning ii I 3.1 i i a i UM reunquiauuienw s.

Kiwh a relinquishment is, in my opinion, contrary to the ordinance, "As to the evils growing out of the present system, uey are 100 numerous ana coo pawns to everybody to need reciting by me.

Other persons have faithfully described them in Ths bran Ocbax, and I agree with those persons in what they have to say." These are some of the prominent people who have denounced the police justices practice of keeping fees sa a violation of the city ordinance, and who have also told at length the many evil results that are bound to grow out of such a vicious system Mayor Washburne.

And yet. although there is not one voice raised to defend toe justices in their wboie-sa'e raids upon the city treasury so fsr as bond fees go, tbey are permitted to go right along day after day and night after night taking what does not belong to them, less of the law and careless of the consequences. A PESTIFEROUS PLACE.

Chief of Police McClanghry has turned his attention to the Milwaukee avenue carrousel, and yesterday ordered Inspector Schaack to look into the char sea of gross mismanage ment preierrea against uus piace Dy in Jjnsa Octax last Monday. Major McClanghry was out of town when the article descriptive of the way things are run at this merry-go. round appeared, but as noon as a rerjorter called his attention to it he instructed Inspector Schaack to make an in vesti gation. "What are the necessary steps to bring about a police investigation of this carrousel? the Chief was asked. "Get some complaints against the place, ss was done in the case of the other two places.

"Is it necessary that you receive formal complaint from citizens of that neighbor- boodr Suppose tbe newspapers, or any one of them, show no the real nature of the nlace. would you not pay attention to them and if it is shown that the place is run immorally KinlV vrui nnt an invatirflfcwin vnmAmT 1UB mu mat wo pre ucuuuutou toe character 01 toe piace as oao, ana sur c. mitted proofs to substantiate such accusa- bom. the matter would receive his early at tention. r- at the carrousel, as described in Ths Iwrxa ir 1- u.

He was handed tbe paper question, glanced through the article, and had instruo- tions sent to Inspector Schaack to look into .1 If Inspector Schaack does his work In this respect ss, tnorougbly as Inspector Boss did his in regard to the West Madison street car 1 1 1 1 5 a hrtaf anen of life before it. Tnu. it ia onan only on Saturday and Sunday evenings, but it manages to crowd into that short space of time as mneb indecency and immorality, tending to corrupt girls and boys, as can be had at any resort in the city. A visit to the place is all that is necessary to convince any one of its dangerous influ ences, wtucn even toe police omoers in charge can not deny.

bad cnaracter can no xesumony 01 its loubt be had from nu ao merous persons living that locality, or from the officers at the West Chicago Avenue Police Station. One of these officers said to the reporter: "Probably I could not make any formal or apeciflc charge against the carrousel, but it ia evident to me that the place is a nuisance to this part of the city. Now and then an arrest is made there, but not very often. Ton can not judge from the arrests that are made, though, as it does not give that sort of trouble. If it did, it would be easy to deal With.

"The trouble with toe place is of a different kind. Persons of questionable character gather there, and while their conduct is such as to be a nuisance to respectable people, it ia not often of a character to warrant an arrest. "If I understand it, the danger that lies in the carrousels is that they lead to the ruin of girls and boys in a qatet and seemingly respectable manner. Ths Istbb Ocxair has plainly shown' the true character of such places. The Milwaukee avenue resort is not one bit better than the West Madison street places were, and tho same causes that led to the closing of the latter exist in regard to tbe former.

They are all alike." -The result of Inspector Schaack's investigation is awaited with interest Arsenle Instead of Baklnf Powdtr. DuBCQtm, Iowa, March 4.
