ALBANY, March 18.?Mayor Hylan
and Police Commissioner Enfljght have
itsueol a joint order forbidding patrol
men *f the New York Police Depart?
ment Bo .criticir.e police legislation or
to appeaj- in Albany against it. As a
resu'.t, ,tegtslation aimed at preventing
Hylan and Enright from putting the
gag on patrolmen was introduced in
the Legislature to-day by Senator
AlvahJ W. Burlingame jr., Republican,
of Bsooklyn.
The, bill would give the police the
right -now denied them by Hylan and
Knr.ght? to appear before committees
of the Legislature to advocate or op?
pose any pending legislation affecting
ttem.,
Joseph J. O'Reilly, soeial secretary
of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Associa?
tion and who holds the same office in
tne Uniformed Firemen's Association,
brought the remedial legislation to Al
bar.y to-day.
"t'rijder the present rules of the
Police Department," said O'Reilly,
?V.enibers of the uniformed force can
tsk" no part in favoring or opposing
loc^'ation affecting them_ unless .given
pem Ission to do so by the Police Com
missiijner. And this permission never
18 granted by the present administra?
tion Br.less the men want to come here
to aitf-ocate legislation which is to the
likina of the Police Commissioner.
"Omy last week when Police In
*pertdj^Henry. McElroy and Fennelly
came here to attend a hearing in favor
of Commissioner Enright's bill giving
irspeeiftrs u permanent rank and pro
tecting them from being demoted the
patrolmen's association in New York
passed resolutions against it. They,
however, could not get permission to
ccrr.e t6 Albany to express their views
in oppo.-ntion to the bill.
"Th^.patrolraen are not afraid to
have hotn sides of any bill they r.eek
presented. This is true also of the
fireir.erv, They desire having all their
fcfills before the public I'or criticism and
ajjalyais, and they should be allowed to
come b&re and appear in their own
Senator Burlingame's bill
merely restores ;o them a constitu
tior.a! right.
"Such a bill nas passed two or three
years ago, but was vetoed by Governor
Whitman, who held that it was unnec
essary. as they have that right under
the constitution. But uftder the pres?
ent administration they are not
allowed to exercise it."
O'Reilly said that the uniformed
firemen of New York City were behind
th? patrolmen :n seeing that the Hylan
administration gives the man on'the
Beat a square deal. Like aid has been
promised the New York City patrol?
men by the police organizations and
th- firemen's organizations of most of
t- principal cities of the state.
Last year Speaker Sweet jammed
through a bill which Hylan and En?
right wanted perpetuating the police
reserve and empowering the Hylan ad?
ministration to give the reserves what?
ever salaries he wished.
This b sent here by them was
veto'-d after ai! the po-hce organiza?
tions nt New Vork City appeared i u
Opposition to the measure. The bill.
thinly disguised, is before the Legisla?
ture again this year sent here by
Mayer Hylan himself.
One ? :' the bills favored by Hylan and
Enr ght would give a life job with the
xank of inspector to a physician who
pas given a job vacated by another
physician who went to France with the
troops and who on his return went to
work at a smaller salary than he re?
ceived when he joined the colors. In
oidentally this veteran is now ranked
by the man who was given his old
ker*h when he started for France.
Hoke Smith in Raee
GAINESVILLE, Ga., March 18.?-More
than the requireii 100 Democrats here
to-day signed a petition to the State
I'emocratic Executive Committee ask
fe'g that the name of Senator Hoke
fcmitfc be pluced on the ballot for the
XJoniocratic Presidential preference
primary, to be held April 20.

King Valdessa Pontiac's Mem?
ory To Be Peimstaated
by John A. Bell
Speeial POtpatch to The Tribune
PITTSBURGH, March 18.?Emperors,
oil magnates and such like are not the
only ones whose memory will he per
petuated by a monument. King Val?
dessa Pontiac, Holstein bull of inter?
national fame, is to have one.' It will
be raised over his grave on the farm
of John A. Bell. wealthy Pittaburgh
banker, coal operator and stock
fancier.
King Valdessa Pontiac was valued ?t
more than $50,000 and wore a crown aa
the world's greatest bull, and no more
was ever done to save the Hfe of an
emperor or millionaire than was dofte
to save tho life of King Pontiac, Sur
rounded by a corps of faraed veterina
nans and trained nurses, the famous
bull died after a series of operations.
When King Pontiac became ill sev?
eral weeks ago, Mr. Bell, who bought
him as a calf four years ago, sum
moned two local veterinarians. These
suggested that Dr. G. L. Marshall,
famous Philadelphia veterinarian, and
the latter's brother, Pennsylvania state
official veterinarian, be sent for. This
was done. The four experts performed
an unsuccessful operation.

Broadway Brokers Report
Loss When Employee
Fails to Return; Clerk
Charged With Forgery
While John T. Dooling, Assistant
District Attorney, in a retrospective
mood was pondering yesterday on all
the complex ramifications of the so
called $5,000,000 bond plot in which
Jules W. Arnstein. (occasionally called
Nicky) is sought as the central figure,
he was informed that a quiet and re
ticent messenger of John Muir &. Co..
irtvestment brokers of 6*1 Broadway,
had disappeared with Liberty bonds
valued at $14,000.
The latest loss was announced when
the Muir firm decided Floyd H. Sel
wyn, who had left their offices on
Wednesday morning with the $14,000
worth of bonds to be delivered to
another brokerage house, had joined
the ranks of other Wall Street mes
sengers who have mysterious'ly disap?
peared.
Selwyn had-.been with the firm for
three months and gave his address as
1260 Tinton Avenue, the Bronx. His
disappearance has been reported to the
police. August Mayer and Grover
Brown, detectives, of Deputy Police
Commissioner Lahey's offiee, were as?
signed to the case.
On the complaint of a member of the
firm of Schmidt, Deering & Co., 30
Broad Street, George L. Morris, a clerk,
was arrested yesterday. charged with
presenting a forged certificate to the
Mercantile Trust Company. The clerk
was arrested by Detective Grover
Brown. Morris had been in the employ
of the Mercantile Trust Company for
three years, and last Christmas re?
ceived a bonus, with which, the police
say. he opened a speculative account
with the concern for which he worked.
His speculations resulted in losses,
and in order to make them good he is
declared to have forged the certificate.
Marion Pophan, of Rockville Center,
Long Island. was arrested yesterday by
Detectives Mayer, Brown and McDonald
on the complaint of John P. Burns, as?
sistant treasurer of the Equitable Trust.
Company, 37 Wall Street. Pophan is
accused o'' stealing $3,500, and, accord?
ing to the police, has admitted that
while einployed in the office of the
Equitable Trust he manioulated ac?
counts m order to obtain money with
vi-hich to pay off a mortgage on his
home. The police say he admits taking
$130 on June 9. 1919, and larger
amounts after that date.
