The cabinet memDers also were con?

after they had been tried by a deputy

,-.\ Ol'k of detectives.
? When there was the threat of an
epidemic of crime the cabinet was
??ailed into conference with the Com?
missioner. When plans to meet the situ?
ation were worked out extra men and
ixperts from other squads would be sent
to study the situation and correct it. In

Worried by Crime Wave
It is true, it was Pointed! out yes?
terday, that frequently an individua!
inspector ,v' calle?! to headquarters by
I.ahey for ;. conference and on two or
three occasions since Enright became
Commissioner the entire staff of in?
spectors has been summoned to ap?
roar. But there is no such thing as
:\ weekly conference^
Once when the full board had as?
sembled, however, it was soon found
that it was not for a conference. The
?rime wave was worrying the officials
at headquarters, and both Enright and
bahey made i- clear that a wholesale
transfer of inspectors or reduction in
ran!; would follow continued fai.ure to
tern the tide.
There was no request by the Com?
missioner or I.ahey for constructive
suggestions. The inspectors were not
made to feel they were part of the
administrative staff at headquarters.
They were simply told the situation
was up to them and they had to find
some way out.
An illustra'ion of the frame of mini!
:: which these "conferences" left the
inspectors is found in the comment
made by one of them in telling of the
incident :
"What do Knright and I.ahey want us
to do? Why doesn't the Commissioner
have I.ahey tell us where the chief
tiouble is and give us enough men to
get at it'? 1 haven't trot a man on my
staff who knows anything but petty
larceny cro?)!;s, anil he doesn't know
them well."
(>n Monday afternoon ?11 police cap?
tains in the greater city were sum?
moned to the office of the inspector in
ehargq of the district in which they
?veie assigned.
The Tribune story published Monday
showing the result f the survey on
the number of men on patrol aft?er
midnight was read by the inspectors
to the captains. Thereupon each in?
spector told his captain that Tribune
reporters were flying about town in
. automobiles and to b; sure that the
full quota was turned out for patrol
on the midnight tour, even if the lieu
: tenant on the desk was forced to sacri?
fice his clerical man.
The Tribune survey end?1?! last Sat?
urday night.
The World Comments
On The Tribune Expose
The World comments editorially on
The Tribune's turvey of the Police De?
partment as follows:
"The World has often bail occasion 'o
disclose the appalling number and de?
plore the still growing frequency of
grave crimes m New York City. The
Tribune yesterday began an intensive
study of'the subject, which the aid
facts inexorably compel it to head
; 'Crime Wave Growing.'
; ^ "lt.; valuable first article attribute?
the shocking conditions in nan to lack
of m.'iij. in the hours tifter midnight
important patrol posts have commonly
to be doubled, Hut .here is also op?
erative to disaster, as The World has
urged, "the break-down of the detective
organization built up by Arthur Woods,'
with other administrative faults.
"1 he truth, about robberies is not
known, since the police practice con?
cealment. But in 330 days 325 serious
hold-ups and robberies were made- pub?
lic. The loss, but a fract on of a true
total, was ?3,100,000, and the November
total of $890,000, whil- still incomplete,
passed the previous records.
"It i tin- oasy-go:ng American way
to palliate crime ice .rds as due to the
foreign born. The libel explains noth
ing. In the lands from which our ?m
migrants^cornc few cit.'es have so high
a crime rate as .'sew York. All Eng?
land and Wales hav? fewer murders.
The reason is plain. The way to stop
murdering is to arrest, convict and
punish the murderers, and that is what
Xew York does not do."
"Figures presented in this morning's
Tribune bear out The Evening World's
repented charger, that crime is increas?
ing in New York and that the police
ave showing themselves l?-ss and less
able to cop?- with it.
"Three hundred and twenty-five hold?
ups, burglaries and thefts, representing
a property loss of more than $3,100,
C00; one hundred unsolved murders,
and a homicide record that averages
: one killing every three ?lays, is The
, Tribune's summary of crime in the
greater city .-.nee the beginning of the
present year.
"The theory of the Enright police ad?
ministration, backed by Mayor Hylan,
has been that publication of the facts
of crime encourages criminals. Acting
; or. this theory, the Enright administra?
tion has, wherever possible, withheld
the new" of crimes from the news
j papers a nil the public."
?No Crime Wave* F olive
Efficient. Leach Asserts
Acting Commissioner Intimates
Fear That Reports J? ill Cause
Influx of Criminals to Y. Y.
No one at Police Headquarters
would talk to Tribune reporters yes?
terday. The Brooklyn Da'ily Kagle,
however, did succeed in getting an
interview with Acting Commissioner
Leach, and Mayor Hylan, after smil?
ing, refused to comment on the situa?
tion as disclosed by The Tribune.
The Eagle story follows:
"'The criminal situation in the City
of New York is not abnormal, not?
withstanding til1 extraordinary after
war conditions throughout the world.
We are hoping that the spectacular
activities in other cities, coupler! with
the newspaper notoriety in New York
will not result in bringing the crim?
inal element here; but if so the con?
dition will be met and the situation
handled in the regular decisive man?
ner that has characterized the Police
I Department of New York for mag?
yars.'
"The above statement was made to
an Kagle reporter this .afternoon by
Acting Police Commissioner Leach
when he was asked if he ha?! any
reply to make as the temporary head
of the pouce force 'o criticisms of the
department and to tl e stories printed
d-.ily concerning hold-ups, burglaries
and other crimes against persons and
' ptoperty occurring in tin- city just
now. The Commissioner denied that
there was, any serious outbreak of
?rime, an 1 l..uche,l at the reported
I 'crime wave.' Ho also declare?! that
Mho force was working efficiently for
I the publie, and ?ntii nted that some
I 'f the articles pu' lished in the news
; papers were not true, but he did not
? specify instanc s.
"It is a fact though, it was infli
cated, that in the absence of Commis?
sioner Enright unusual measures are
being taken to insure honest work on
the part of the detective bureau and
?he ?an on post. Acting Commis?
sioner Leach admitted that the chief
inspector was making nightly tours
through the town, 'after the manner
employed from time to time by The
; Eagle,' as he- put it. to watch the work
of the men on post.
"'It is not. unlikely, when Commis?
sioner Enright returns,' said the Act?
ing Commissioner, 'that the deputies
will also make nightly trips to insure
I the best patrol service possible.
" 'These 'ours are not heralded,' sai?
the Acting Commissioner, "out tht
men are being watched very closely
Diagrams of the various posts an
carried and the night tours esneoialh
are under surveillance. We ar<
anxious to have the mer. do theii
work.'
"It is know that the chief inspecto
paid a visit to Flatbush last night an?
early this morning, but trie official
i at Headquarters this afternoon de
clined to discuss the matter and wouh
i not admit that the territory name,
I was under scrutiny."

Eiiright Scored
As Inefficient
By Aldermen
Suggestion Made at Board
Meeting That Investiga?
tion of Department hy
the Legislature Is .Needed
Tammany to the Defense
Penal Code Change Asked
to Make Theft With Gun
a Life Term Offense
The Hoard of Aldermen took notice
o* the city's crime wave and the in?
efficiency of the Police Department
under tiie present administration at
tin- regular meeting of the board yes?
terday at the City Hall. In the course
of a heated discussion of a request by
the Police Commissioner for $75,1 10
in special revenue bonds to replenish
the contingent fund of the Police De
partment, depleted during the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit strike last summer.
Commissioner Enright vas attacked as
inefficient and the suggestion was made
that an investigation of the depart?
ment by the Legislature was needed.
Alderman Charles II. Roberts, of
Manhattan, introduced a resolution,
based upon the increasing number of
robberies and hold-ups in the city, !
calling upon the Legislature to amend i
the Penal Code to make the commis?
sion of robbery with the use of a |
revolver pu-nishable by life imprison
in mt.
Acts to Curb ("rime Wave
The Roberts resolution read:
"Whereas, There have been recorded
in the City of New York of late an
ever increasing number of robberies
and hold-ups: and
"Whereas, The professional criminals
involved have been able, after serving
part of the punishment meted out, to
bring about tiu-ir parole; therefor-'
"Re it. resolved. That the Hoard of
Aldermen of the City of New York call
upon t.he State Legislature to amend
the I'cna! Code to make acts of robbery !
committed with a gun punishable with
life imprisonment, and so amend the
law dealing with the parole of crimi?
nals ;.-; to make men who use dreams
i i the perpetration of crimes ineligible
to parole."
Consideration of the resolution was
put over until the meeting next week.
When the'Police Commissioner's re?
quest for $75,000 came before the board
the Socialist members strongly object?
ed and were joined in their position by
several of the Republican members.
Enright Is Assailed
Alderman Robert Starr Ailyn de?
clared the present Police Commission?
er had shown the greatest inefficiency
in the history of the department in
the management of its affairs. Alder?
man Clifford S. Rostwick and other
Republican members substantially
agreed with Alderman Allyn and ob?
jected to granting the request of the
Police Commissioner, on the ground
that he had made no itemized report
as to the us' of ?.:?. money. They said
it was the usual, our wron?, method
of the Police Commissioner i. >t to fur?
nish information m regard to such
matters.
Several of the Tammany Aldermen
sprang to the defense of the resolu?
tion and the city admin ist ration. Alder?
man C. 11. Haubert, of Brooklyn, laid
stress on the fact that it was the duty
of the Police Department to protect
innocent passengers and railroad prop?
erty during a strike, and that the
emergency during the Brooklyn strike
had to be nut and paid for. He de?
clared that any of the Republican
Aldermen could visit Police Headquar?
ters and probably obtain ail the in?
formation they desired.
"1 have always understood that no
one could go to Police Headquarters
and get r.ny kind of information," sai,i
Alderman William F. Quinn. "I would
like to ask Alderman Haubert if he
could do it."
"There may be something in a name,"
said Alderman Haubert, "but 1 am sure
I could get anything there, provided my
name was not Quinn."
"Then I take it," said Alderman
Quinn. "that a chosen few who have
the right* names are the only ones who
can ?jet any information at Police
Headquarters.''
Alderman Will.am T. Collins, ma?
jority leader of the board, shut u'.r the
debate by requesting a roll call on the
resolution. It was adopted by fifty
five affirmative vote . the exact num?
ber required to pass a resolution re?
quiring an appropria:.un of money.
