He is a. celebrity in his own city bcwiusc he refuses to believe that politicians and others "with a pull" should bo Invited more leniently tlum ordinary everyday citizens. "I thought we were smart over home," he continued to an Over-Seas Daily Mail representative, "but you beat us.' 'Tour police nre so faT superior to ours that there is no comparison possible.
