An old farmer named Chaudru was buried alive lately at the Village of Sar- lol, in the Londes, France. He féll ill a fortnight ago, and after- ward lapsed into a state of coma, which was mistaken for death. \When the cof- fin. was lowered into the grave the by- standers "heard raps and moans coming from within, They ran to tell the Mayor, and when ha arrived, half an hour later, the lid of the coffin was wrenched open." The nan was 'dead, but the changed and agonized expression on his face showed thal he had regained consciousness after h: was plac:d in the coffin. A similar incident occurred recently af Loex, in Savoy. Jean Gedard, a man of 76, fell into a swoon, and remained junconscious so long that he was believed Ma be dead, His neighbors wrapped him in a shroud, and placed lighted candles at the fool and head of the hed, while the women recited prayers for his soul, Suddenly the man sal up and looked around him in astonishment. The wo- men screamed and fled from the cottage, fthinking they had scen a ghost. Ulti- malely some peasants were found bold enough' to venture into. the cottage, where they soon assured themselves that the old man was really living. 5 PEEVISH AND CROSS.

These facts have been ascertained by Police Commissioner Bingham, who has no "rose tinted illusions" respecting the integrity of the force. COMMISSIONER'S HANDS TIED. The casual reader may ehseive, "Why not remove the men?" The answer is that 'though often convicted on irrefu- lable charges, their criminal "blackmail netlings' enable them to employ lawyers of the calibre of Elihu Root. and succeed in so tangling up court records as lo give Openings for successful appeal. Commissioner Bingham is at present fighting in New York to infroduce a bill, which, by giving him power to reduce or appoint at will his inspectors. and official detectives, will enable him to thoroughly eradicate the "System Evil," which. is really a power--an unscrupulous crinie- business partnership between leading officials of the Police Department and a loosély-organized Board of Trade, THE SYSTEM'S INDUSTRIES, Such commadities "as gambling, pros- titution, and illegal liquor selling form the system's most profilable traffic, and robbing and blackmail form imporlant side lines by which the lesser officers profit. In close conjunction with the police arid Board of Trade there is a strong political - element, formerly pre- sided over by big Tim Sullivan, a United Slates Congressman, When feasible the Police Cammission- er is bribed, General Bingham was actually interviewed by a plausible in- dividual who offered him $10,000 month- ly. to buy his silence as fo the existence of lwo notorious, large gambling houses. On his prompt refusal a leading high afficial of his was next approached with a bribe of $1,000 weekly if he would shake hands with a notorious crook, GAMBLERS UNDER PROTECTION, Gambling' is {he inspectors' main graft.

When the commissioner demands an explanation of {he existence 'of a big gambling house of an inspector, the latter, under permission of a big Congressman, makes a "police bluff," but takds no active measures in imme- diately arresting the offender,' As'a fur- ther protection against him the praprie- tor, going on the Supreme Court, gels an injunction ~ restraining police interfer ence.

BILL GOES THROUGH. If Bingham's police bill gets through it will be the practical rk id of New York, whose police service is, from the very top of the tree, rolted through 'and through by: corrupt official maladminis- tration. It will mean thal the inspector will-be subject to discipline of the Detec- live' Bureau, ah agency whereby inefll- ciency or dishongsty 'can be punished by summary reduction, and promotion and reward will depend solelyan personal, merit, and finally that the 'department will be brought to a logical system of police work with the uniformed force, devoted to the prevention of ¢rime, the detective force to its detection, the heads ¢I the organization free to grapple with vice .prablems, and thé nefarious sys- tem of graft reduced {o a minimum. This is General , Bingham's bill, unre- seryedly supported by every New York newspaper, but. in danger of being de: feated by the immense corruption fund now being used 'by. the system, - i iy I NAGISTRATE | INVESTIGATES ZAN-BUK {SAYS IS A WONDERFUL HEALER AND DOFS MORE THAN.IS CLAIMED FOR IT.
