The window of one car was smashed. Regler goei into aotion. Campus Gang Busters went into action, determined to crush, the organization. Racketsmasher Regler got hold of one of the lit tle fellows, the alleged "brain" of the gang and questioned him. The boy denied all knowledge of the window smashing incident. He readily admitted, though, that they did have a protective organi zation to watch cars. The young ster promised Regler that his pro tective service would pick up the guilty person and bring him to campus police headquarters. The sergeant, still unconvinced and not wanting the organization to bring in a "guilty" party, told the boy he didn't need his services, but that he did want to question him more later regarding the pro tective group. Just what the na ture of the operations of the boys were, still remains to be defi nitely learned.
