ARREST COPS
SEATTLE, Ajtril 15—Quite a sen
sation was caused here when the

Gus V. Hasselblad, Patrolman W. F.
Patten and four other members of the

Hasselblad and his companions are
charged with robbing the U. S. ap
praisers store in this city on March 31
of 3000 quarts of whiskey, which they
seemed to have disposed of to their fi
nancial gain without any difficulties.
The Federal authorities also be
lieve that this same syndicate was
also implicated in procuring the
3150 quarts of booze, which was
seized by Federal authorities at the
former Meadows race track in South
Seattle, yesterday afternoon.
SEATTLE, April 15—The arrest
of Hasselblad and his companions
has developed a scandal of supreme
magnitude in the city administration.
It has long been known that in

police force, instead of arresting boot
I leggers simvly relieved them of their
liquor, without bringing any charges
against them, while the officers ped
dled the easily and cheaply aquired
booze to their own customers. The
business must have been a very
lucrative one, as it is reported that a
I number of patrolmen have made a
fortune during the last year and some
| of them have been able to retire to
a life of ease on their illgotten gains.
The investigation now being car
ried on reveals a state of corruption
| in the police department which will
| surpass even that of the palmiest days
of the Police Chief Wappenstein
| regime.
| It si rumored that the arrest of
| other police officials implicated in
j this graft scandal is imminent and
that the expose will lead to a shake up
of the whole local police force.
