Last-Minute Ap pointment of Mayor Ma loney Illegal, Say "Bulls." Has P. J. Whitty, former police magistrate under Maloney, any right r, to be desk sergeant? Cops of Butte S say he has not. He was appointed to this place by t Mayor W. H. Maloney, two days be- t fore Maloney's term expired. Mr. t W\hitty himself resigned his office as police judge, to which he had been t elected by the voters. in order to take the appointment of desk ser geant. By giving up two days' pay as police judge he made certain, ap parently, of a steady job, and an easy job, in the office of Chief Mur phy. But now it develops that under the rules of the metropolitan system which is suplposed to govern appoint inents and dismissals of police, lay- I or -Maloney had no right to appoint I Whitty. to the position of desk ser geant. There were other eligible applicants for appointment to the police force who had priority, under the metropolitan system, over P. J. Whitty. The police magistrate is elected and is not a member of the force, and being police judge in no way gave VWhitty any legal priority over other men in claiming apDoint mnent to the police force. If he wish ed a job on the force, he should, have filed his application, passed his ex amination as other cops do, and awaited his turn. The job of desk sergeant is not one of the plums to be handed out to politicians or sup porters outside the ranks. It is one of the soft places to which the plain bull beating the force is expected to work up to by long and faithful serv ice. Appointment of a man to that job over the heads of eligible men waiting appointment to the force was illegal, say the bulls in harness. IN('OMEI' TAXES DUE JUNE, 16.

EASY PICKINGS FOR "DICKS" DWINDLE There is much sharp criticism passedamopg the cops of Butte late ly upon the growing stinginess of the gambling joints. Formerly every plainclothes man could drop into any one of the big gamos once a week and get his $5 bill. If he failed to show up any week it was held for him, and he could collect $10 when he came next time. If he neglected to call for four wsie kn they would slip him a twenty. It was just the regular recognizld fie of the r"iv ate in the ranks. The big chiefs, of course. were better cared for.. They always are. Of iourse, it was a drain upon the honlest gentlemen who ran these ga;.es--this $5 per, to each one of some 15 plain clothes sleuths, not to count thle big lumps handed over to the chiefs. But just think how much grief those desir able citizens might have suffered at the hands of Butte's official crooks, if the money had not been forth coming. And the games: were coining mon ey in those days. They had plenty left, even after the thorough shak ing down that the Butte police knew so, well how to administer. But it's different now. Times are dull. The mines a;re practically closed. The administration has changed. A moral re"ival is thought to be imminent in the town, Even the gamblers are biecoming affected. The gambling joints are trying to cut down the share of the police. If a poor cop is not prompt every week inI claiming his hit, they are apt to for get about holding it for him. And they are kicking at the amount, say it is too much, in fact, there is grow ing friction. And the poor, hard working dicks are sore, of course. Who is not sore, when his income is threatened?
