The Mayor said h. did have bobm eqadpaaeaH to deai with the subjects under eonsideratlon when he became Mayor. but added: "I know all TUf shortcomir.gs and de fects as a man. I hope, and I know that I am not a good ni.in, and I never thou^ht I was." The Mayor reverted to his boyhood days and the stern paternal hand that cuided his early training as to car '. ptaytna*. He aaid: "When I was a boy I was never al* lotrad to touch a pack of cards. They thoughl then th*r* ara* a Irttl* wtri\ v< ea.h card.

The Mayor gave the police the credit of clearing up the Rosenthal murder rase rather than 1 istrict Attorney VI'htt man. Rlght at the start of hls address. after saying that he bad permlsslon from Professor Jeremiah W, Jenks, if New York In iversity, who was *n i harge of the meeting. to speak frankly on the subject in hand, the Mayor shot a word or two at his critica. 'The least those who know nothing i about these subjects have to do with th*BI the better lt is for tlie eomtnu nity. At the end of a hftrd day and of a hard week, with Pr.
