Revelations by U. S. Internal
Revenue Collector Threat
ens Wholesale Shakeup
One Man Made $110,000
SAN riANCISCO. Aug. 29. (UP)
The same type of Income tax rev
elations that bagged the nation's
lormer No. 1 gangster. Al Capone.
last night threatened to cause whole
sale shakeup ot San Francisco's
police department.
John V. Lewis, United States In
ternal revenue collector, declared that
federal agents had learned a retired
police captain built a allO.OOO for
tune from purported vice "payoffs."
Lewis declined to give the name of
the captain. He said that other police
officers had received such "payoffs,"
and charged that vice In the city
was controlled by a few men.
Names Withheld
Federal rules prevent him from re
vealing any names, he said, pointing
out that Income tax collections are
not concerned with the method by
which an Individual obtained his
money. To disclose names would con
stitute a felony, he declared.
Mayor Angelo Rossi Immediately
atarted a campaign to check the
charges. He telegraphed Secretary of
the' Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., I
asking that Lewis be ordered to give'
full data on his charges to himself,
the police commission and the San
Francisco county grand Jury.
District Attorney Matthew Brady
said the grand Jury probably would
open an Investigation on the basis
of Lewis' statement, but needed a
"definite accusation to start on."
Theodore J. Roche, president of the
police commission, was ordered by
Mayor Rossi "to go to the bottom of
the matter at once."
Lewis, curly haired, energetic, one
of the youngest Internal revenue col
lectors, greeted the storm of official
demands calmly.
Said Savings Built Fortune
He said that the police captain In
question first claimed he built his
(110.000 fortune through a savings
account.
"We showed him that If that were
true he must have lived all those
years In the police department on
about 2.35 a year," Lewis said,
chuckling. "We then go the truth
that his fortune was built on payoffs
from houses of vice. We assessed him
60 per cent penalty for fraud, and
one percent Interest for each month
of delinquency. He paid to escape
criminal prosecution and exposure."
Federal operatives then obtained a
list of hundreds of vice resorts " in
San Francisco, collected additional
taxes from their operators, and ob
tained further Information regarding
alleged "payoff" and "hush money"
activities.
Since Lewis took over the local Job
In 1932 he doubled tax collections In
his post In one year. With hla 35
agents he tracked down scores of
Incomes, and forced payments prev
iously evaded.
Earl York, secretary of the local
civil service board cf examiners, an
nounced today that the folloving
open competitive examinations are
available: Fireman (oil burner, ma
rine), and fireman (oil burner). Full
information can be secured from Mr.
