RUSSIAN POLICE SCANDAL
A FAITHFUL INSPECTOR. By Electric Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Times. —Sydney Sun Service.) Received (i.15 p.m. ST. PETERSBURG, May 23. The police at Odessa have been exacting a tribute of £B6OO annually from sixty disorderly houses of grafters. They wished to drag their new inspector into the school. Finding their threats unavailable they invited him to luncheon. As he appeared to acquiesce they laid before him a full list of the houses together with the contributions. The inspector requested a few hours for consideration, and was permitted to retain the documents until the next day, when he had the papers photographed. The police implicated will lie prosecuted.
