Chicago, June 10.—Recent developments In the "levee" district of the south side have brought down the wrath of the decent element upon the police, who are charged not only with harboring criminals, but of receiving money from them for protection.

A supply boat has been outfitted and will make dally trips to relieve suffering.. The flood situation In East St. Louis. Is still critical.There is no lack of evidence of "pulls," and the chief point of attack is the precinct in charge of Captain P. D. O'Brien. In a recent uffray In which a police officer was murdered It is charged that two brother officers who were with him did not, protect him or attempt the capture of his murderer because the latter was "strong" with the powers that be. It is also charged that there Is a regular price paid for protection by criminals.

The general opinion is that this rupture In the cabinet will not precipitate a ministerial crisis. It ' is held that there Is good constitutional precedent for delay while the country Is making up Its mind on the subject. THE WEATHER.

Is still critical.There is no lack of evidence of "pulls," and the chief point of attack is the precinct in charge of Captain P. D. O'Brien. In a recent uffray In which a police officer was murdered It is charged that two brother officers who were with him did not, protect him or attempt the capture of his murderer because the latter was "strong" with the powers that be. It is also charged that there Is a regular price paid for protection by criminals.
