BOOTLEGGING IN PHILA- DELPHIA.
OFFICIAL'S ENORMOUS..

Philadelphia, the third largest eity of the United States, noted lor its staidness and Quaker res- pectability, has developed a boot legging scandal.
The revelations made have simply tora" the city up from centre to circumference and have threatened disclosures, the like of which have never been known before. They' prove that, where municipal' core ruption is cocerned, America leads the world and the Grand Jury investigation now in progress has brought to light that in the last seven years bootleggers and rum- in have runners

Many of the men charged with being members of the ring are high police officials, holding important positions under the Federal and City governments. The ring was systematic and businesslike in its operations It kept books, in which were entered every payment made and the scale of payment to which men were entitled, in precisely the se manner as a business concern records, the names and salaries of
its employees.
From this documentary evidence It has been ascertained that one high police official was paid 820,000 monthly and ather men in like pró- portion. These record are now in the possession of the District Attorney, who, commenting on what they reveal said that these seized records, supposed to be safely hid- den away, show that enormous sums have been paid by hootleggers to the police.
Some of the payments are almost unheard of. The whole rotten system of bootlegging, bribery, cor, ruption and murder," the Prosecu. tor is quoted as saying, "will be exposed to the public and then sashed as it ought to be."
The investigation began after a saloon-keeper named Maclean had been shot by three men believed to -belong to the gang-
