? Chicago. Sept. 27.—The “multiple
shake down system” through which
the Chicago policemen are alleged to
have obtained as many as a half doz
en rake-offs on the same case of whis
key was revealed today in the gov
ernment investigation of the police
department. '

ris* at his own request as the job of
cleaning out the department was too
much for him without the aid of Unit
ed States secret service men and pro
hibition officers.
Officers Sell and Keep Selling. l
Scores of witnesses were examined
today and some amazing facts were
brought out. One witness said the
hand of policemen would confiscate
whiskey shipped here, sell It, demand
and get protection money from the
buyer and then raid the place and
confiscate the whiskey and sell It
again and repeat this process In some
cases as many as six times before fl
nalyl turning the whlkey over to -a fa
vored saloon keeper for sale by the
Jr|4i^itahighpdce^^^^^_.
It was brought out at the several in
vdfttigations today that the officers,,
who were the bitterest in their search
for boqtleggers are the very ones
who were engaged In whiskey traffic
on $ large scale. The investigation
will be continued and Chief Fitzmor
ris fias the united, backing of all the
better elements in Chicago. Not that
public sentiment Is with the prohibi
tion but rather a demand that the
very officers who have caused hun
dVeds to suffer severe penalties shall
be brought to Justice for committing
the crimes ®f selling whiskey, taking
bribes nd larceny.
