Miss Mary Katherine Campbell Wins Final Over Pres?
ent "Miss America" for Honor as Nation's Pret?
tiest; Decision Unpopular; New York Girl Third
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 8.?Triumph?
ing in a competition of more than
500 amateurs and professionals, in?
cluding fifty-eight civic beauties from
all sections of the United States and
two from Canada, "Miss Columbia,"
otherwise known as Miss Mary Kather?
ine Campbell, of Columbus, Ohio, six?
teen lnst June, fair compler.ioned,
auburn haired with hazel eyes, to?
night was crowned "America's beauty
queen" in the national beauty tourna?
ment held in connection with the. At?
lantic City pageant.
She will be the "Miss America" of
the 1923 pageant, usurping the laurels
of Miss Margaret Gorman, winner last
year and ruling queen of the present
carnival. Miss Gorman, seventeen
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Michael J. Gorman, of Washington,
was in the competition during ths last
three days, and there were hundreds
in the great audience of 20,000 to-night
who disagreed with the experts. Miss
Gorman is a beautiful blonde slip of a
girl with blue eyes. She is 6 feet 2???
inches in height, weiging 105 pounds.
The $5,000 golden mermaid was the
grand prize, which must be won three
times for permanent ownership. Any
professional or amateur is privileged
to enter the annual tournament.
".Miss Columbus" is five feet five
inches tall, weighs 128 pou?rds, and is
unusually well proportioned.
In the great task of elimination
there were three preliminaries to-day,
the final contest of the intercity beau?
ties in bathing suits, other amateurs in
surf attire and professional mermaid!*.
The winners in each division were
finally judged against "Miss America."
On the million dollar pier before a
monster assembly that fairly rocked
the great structure with its demonstra?
tion in which .Miss Gorman would
easily have won in the popular verdict.
Not one of the four finalists wore
bobbed hair and their bathing garb was
of the simplest mode.
"Miss Nashville," Miss Sue Burton,
was second in the intercity beauty con?
test, and "Miss New York," Miss
Dorothy Hughes, third.
Miss Dorothy Knapp, 416 Fort Wash?
ington Avenue, New York, who will be
eighteen in October, won among the
professional beauties. She is a brunette.
Miss Knapp is a model and posed for
James Montgomery Flagg and Charles
E. Chambers, among other artists. Miss
Pauline Virginia Dakla, Wellington
Hotel, and Miss Sidney Nelson, same
address, both of New York, were sec?
ond and? third, respectively, in their
own division.
Miss Gladys Greenmayer, eighteen,
of West Philadelphia, a decided blond,
won amon?* the other amateurs in their
class. Miss Mary Elizabeth Edwards,
of Vineland, N. J., was second, and Miss
Estelle Mark?, of Atlantic City, third.
The finalists, by virtue by their pre?
vious envied awards, were "Miss Amer?
ica," Miss Columbus, Miss Knapp and
Miss Greenamyer. The judges were
Heyworlh Campbell, Coles Phillips, Jo?
seph Cummings Chase, Dr. Arnold
Genthc, Willy Pogany, August William
Hutaf, Norman Rockwell and Howard
Chandler Christy.
Father Neptune, alone of the
1.200 persons who marched in
review to-day before 250,000 spec?
tators along Ihe seashore, did
not wear n bathing suit. Borne on
a great shell by a dozen Nubians, the
monarch of the sea wore a robe that
?esembled seaweed. It hung from his
shoulders and was reaily a remarkable
garb, but very little attention was paid
to him or it, for in the procession that
proved the feature of Atlantic. City's
fall pageant there appeared in bath?
ing suits the following:
Every policeman in Atlantic City.
Mayor Bader and the city officials.
Atlantic City's court of twenty beau?
ties.
The fifty-3even intercity beauties.
About a thousand girls almost aa
beautiful.
The huge crowd o? spectators, ?t 3
o'clock this afternoon,' lined an avenue
laid out on the beach between the two
piers. A big canvas curtain nid one
pier from the common gaze. Suddenly
six skyrockets shot upward, exploded,
and six American flags materialized out
of the atmosphere. At that moment
four trumpeters, in white bathing suits
and' overseas caps of the same color,
sounded a long and thrilling fanfare.
The canvas curtain dropped and the
parade started.
The Mayor and his official familj
led, followed by the King of the Deep
Hudson Maxim?and his Court ol
Beauties. Then came the policemen
in two-piece bathing suits, wearing
regulation badges, clubs and yiso3
caps. They swung along in militar*,
-ashion, followed by a multitude oJ
bathing beauties.
The intercity aspirants to the crowr
of "Miss America' were attired ir
abbreviated costumes in the colors o]
the towns thev represented. A brass
band, similarly clad, led them. Ther
came the rest, a thousand strong, ir
bathing suits which, if laid end te
end wouid reach clear across Broad
way at Longacre Square^_

permission, although they did not need
it, for the girl is of age and her hus?
band is twenty-seven years old."
Came in Answer to an Add
Three years ago Mr. Dale and his
wife answered an advertisement of a
young gir! looking for work. A pretty
little girl in short skirts came to see
them ano said she had been working
*j_s mother's helper for another family.
She said she was Dorothy Buleyment
and that her mother was in an institu?
tion for invalids and that the Chil?
dren's Society had arrested her father!
on account of her one smaller brother
and one smaller sister. Intoxication !
was the charge, the records show.
Because of h?_r age Mr. Dale inver*?ti
?;ated the girl's story and found it. true.
Je found that at thirteen she had been
a clerk in a 10-cent store. He and his
wife took out gunrdianshi*. papers for
the little girl, and instead of hiring her
as a servant they took hor into their
home as a daughter. Mrs. Dale herself
taught the child French and a tutor
[ was hired to school her in other
branches, as her education had been
neglected. The child's lineage was
traced, and it was found she was an
heir to the ?till pending estate of her
maternal grandfather, once Mayor of
Montreal.
Last year at a dance in Cold Springs
the girl met young Kipp, who admitted
he had been married in Los-Angeles
and had a six-year-old son. He had
divorced the boy's mother and said
that he had promised his father ho
would never marry again until he had
completed his college course. However,
a rapid courtship ensued and the cou- j
pie eloped to Beacon, N. Y., and were j
married there by a Methodist minister, j
Mr. Dale called a conference of the j
two families at his home.
"Mrs. Kipp was angry when she heard j
of the marriage," said Mr. Dale. -;Mr. ]
Kipp promised an allowance o_ r>l,200 ;
a year, but it was not paid, so the j
young couple went to work to maintain j
their rooms and the husband's college
course."
Mir.. Dorothy Kipp said yesterday
that she was happy and was content
to work and help her husband get a
medical education that would make it
possible for him to care for her In
the future.
Young Kipp was found late yester?
day at his place of employment, 251
West Fifty-eighth Street. He had just
knocked off for the day and was wait?
ing for his wife, who had spent the
niirht with friends at Huntington, L. I.
She came up presently. It was a joy?
ous greeting. ?
"I have not seen you for twenty
four hours." said the girl to her hus- !
band. "I have good news. I have just j
found a better job as a cloak model."
"There is no estrangement between
my parents and nie," said young Kipp.
"My allowance was cut off because I
desired it so. 1 feel we can make our
own way. That is all. I will study
chemistry nights this year at City Col?
lege. It is the one branch I am weak
in. I will continue my medical course
at Columbia."
Peddler'sCharge
False., Captain
Gray Declares
Brooklyn Police Official De-1
nica Ever Having Taken;
Penny From Pushcart j
Venders ; Warns Accusers ?
Grand Jury Hears Case
ConimissionerHirshficldSnys
District Att'y Huston Has
SpoiledWholeProceedings
District Attorney Ruston summ.ncd
several witness before the Kings County ?
Grand Jury yesterday to have placed on
the record their side of the stories of
alleged irregularities in Brooklyn mar?
kets given to Commissioner of Accounts
Hirshfield by a man named Isldor
Moskowitz.
Before being questioned by the grand
jury, Nathan Finkelstein, president of
the United Citizen Peddlers' Associa?
tion of Brooklyn, and Captain Richard
Gray, of the Stogg Street police station,
both of whom had been mentioned in
Moskowitz's testimony, branded the
statements of Moskowita as "fakes,"
"trumped-up" and "false in every par?
ticular."
Moskowitz had said that Finkelstein
had collected large sums of money
from the peddlers and that much of
this found its way into the pockets of
the police. He named Captain Gray as
being in some manner involved in the
matter.
"It's an outrage "that my clean record
of twenty-seven years in the Police
Department should have been marred
by this fictitious, faked, trumped-up
and irresponsible testimony of this
man Moskowitz," said Captain Gray.
"Of course, there wasn't a grain of
truth in any thing he said relating
to me. except that I did once attend j
a meeting of peddlers in Brooklyn, but
the only thing I said to them at the
time was that they should be calm and
obey the orders of the Commissioner
of Markets.
Gray Warns Accusers
"It's a pity that I must even deny
such silly statements. I have never
received a penny from a peddler in my
life nor from any alleged go-between,
and, in fact. I don't know three ped- i
dlers in all Brooklyn. I only know this |
man Moskowitz from the fact that a
few weeks ago I ordered him and '
twelve other peddlers out of Siegel
Street, because the street was a fire
street and had to be kept clear. I want
to warn persons of Moskowitz's stamp
that any trifling with my name and
reputation will be held strictly ac?
countable before the law."
With respect to Finkelstein, Mosko?
witz has said that he did a paper bag
business of $150,000 a year and that j
most of this money was obtained from !
peddlers under compulsion.
"Such a statement is ridiculous,"]
said Finkelstein. "I have been in the
paper business for years and no ped?
dler is compelled to buy from me. My
total business for last year amounted
to $83,000, so I cannot see where a
profit of $150,000 could have been made.
"The association, of which I am
president, has a charter and has a
recretary, a financial officer and a col?
lector. We have about eighty paying
members and collect from them 15
cents ft week. This is to pay our meet?
ing hall and other expenses and to aid
our members if they should be sum?
monsed and fined. Every dollar we
ever collected has been recorded in our
books. We are more responsible in
this respect than the supervisors were.
Moskowitz Is Attacked
"This man Moskowitz was a member
in our organisation, but is not active
now. He paid our association only 30
cents from May 23 to July 30. He once
offered our organization $50 if we
would procure for him a more advan?
tageous spot for his stand in the
market.
"I want to say that I have never had
anything to do with Captain Gray out?
side of notifying him if there were any
violations in the markets.
"Our old system of running the mar?
kets was vastly superior to the present
way of using supervisors by the city.
We have to pay the supervisors $1 a
week, and this means that the prices
of the merchandise must be raised to
meet this charge. Regarding the meet?
ing before Commissioner Hirshfield,
when the latter was cheered by some
peddlers, I believe the meeting was
held by picked peddlers. Out of a
market which has hundreds of peddlers
he only selected a handful. Then, too,
the peddlers were afraid of the super?
visors."
Hirshfield Criticizes Ruston
Others subp?nned before the grand
jury yesterday were Abraham Barach,
secretary of the Brooklyn peddlers' as?
sociation; Samuel Rudinsky, another
association officer, and I. Moskowitz,
the peddler who testified before Com?
missioner Hirshfield. There were about
ten other witnesses on hand. The probe
was in charge of Assistant District At?
torney Edward G. O'Neill.
Commissionr of Accounts Hirshfield
made another attack upon District At?
torney Ruston, asserting that the lat?
ter was acting in "bad faith." He said
the District Attorney was making a
farce out of the city's inquiry into the
market situation by calling Finkelstein
as a witness before the grand jury.
He added that Mr. Ruston should
have had the decency to wait until he,
the Commissioner, had completed his
inquiry and submitted to the District
Attorney the testimony gathered. "In?
stead of that." says Commissioner
Hirshfield, "ha butted in and spoiled
the whole proceeding."
Husband Once Insane,
Marriage Is Annulled
Mrs. B. F. Doody Says Lawyer
Declared He Never Had
Mental Trouble
Supreme Court Justice Young, of
White Plains, yesterday granted to
Mrs. Julia M. Doody an annulment of
her marriage to Benjamin F. Doody, a
New York lawyer, oi. the grounds that
the husband had been mentally ill on
two occasions before the wedding.
Mrs. Qoody alleged that at the time j
she married the attorney in June, 1917,
he had deceived her by saying he
never had suffered from mental
trouble.
Mrs. Doody testified that she left
her husband in December, 1917, at
which time Dr. Henry P. Humphreys
examined him at the Manhattan Hos?
pital tor the Insane. The physician
was celled to the stand and said he
found Doody suffering from depres?
sive insanity at the time of the exami?
nation. Dr. Humphreys said Doody
was discharged as cured jn Januai-y,
1919.
Dr. David Sherman told Justice
Young that he had treated Doody !n
1911 and 191S for mental disorder.
He is said to have first suffered a
breakdown while a student at Yale.
Mrs. Doody, who is twenty-five years
old, lives at 1960 Sterling Place,.
Brooklyn. Doody is four years her
senior. He lives w.th his father at
502 Ninth Street, Brooklyn, and has a
law office at 160 Broadway.
Samuel Gompers's Eyes
Not Dimmed to Beauty
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept.
8.?Strolling along the Boardwalk
with some of his newspaper
friends this afternoon, Samuel
Gompers, president of the Ameri?
can Federation of Labor, gave
proof that he does not permit
even an industrial criais to be?
cloud his powers of observation.
"I am reminded," said he, "of
the saying that a man is as old as
he feels and a woman as old as
she looks. But I would change it
to a woman is as old as she looks
and a man is old when he stops
looking. Let us, therefore, pass
up no opportunity."
Which counsel the party heeded.
Slain Actor's
O?d Sweetheart
Also Arrested
Alice Thornton, Whose Tale
Is Said to Have Led to
Killing of Jack Bergen,
Is Indicted and Held
Denies Luring Victim
Alleged to Have Prevented
Wife of Slayer From In?
terfering With Shooting
Alice Thornton, the nineteen-year-old
girl who has been named on severer
occasions as a former sweetheart of
John Bergen, the motion picture actor
shot to death by George Cline, will be
arraigned on Tuesday before Supreme
Court Justice C. W. Parker at Hacken?
sack, following her arrest and indict?
ment yesterday on n charge of murder
in connection with the killing of
Bergen.
Cline and Charles Scullion, his
brother-in-law, who were also indicted
yesterday, will be arraigned with her.
A date for the trial will then be set.
The three indictments were returned
by the April grand jury, and it was
immediately discharged by Judge
Zabriskie. It is believed that Miss
Thornton was considered by the grand
jury ns an accessory, even though she
took no actual part in the shooting of
Bergen.
Miss Thornton was committed to the
Hackensack jail in the afternoon. Her
arrest in the morning when she re?
sponded to a subpoena to appear before
the Bergen County Grand Jury at Hack?
ensack came as a surprise, and was
apparently as unexpected to her as to
her friends. The warrant for her ar?
rest was issued by Justice E. A. John?
son upon learning that she had been
indicted. She was questioned for
nearly two hours by Assistant Prose?
cutor C. .7. McCarthy and County De?
tective Altyn.
"Miss Thornton practically repeated
the story she gave to newspaper men
in her home and which was given much
publicity," said the assistant prose?
cutor. "She denied that she had any
part in luring Bergen from his home
in New York to the Cline home in
Edgewater, but she did admit that she
told Cline of the intimacy between Mrs.
Cline and Beigen which is believed to
have been the direct cause of the
tragedy. Miss Thornton denied some
of the newspaper reports that she was
with Jack Bergen and the Clines at
Saranac Lake and knows nothing of
what transpired there between Mrs.
Cline and the actor."
It is understood that Senator W. B.
Mackay jr., of Hackensack, has been
encaged as counsel for Miss Thornton.
The most significant statement said
to have been made by Miss Thornton
to-day to the assistant prosecutor was
an admission concerning the actual
struggle that preceded the shooting of
Bergen. While Cline was forcing
Bergen up the stairs at the point of his
gun, Miss Thornton is said to have told
the two officials Mrs. Cline attempted
to interfere and go upstairs. Miss
Thornton said that she prevented Mrs,
Cline from going up stairs after tho
men. She said she did this because it
appeared that if any shooting occurred
Mrs. Cline might be shot.
3 Men Held in Piracy;
Lighter Looted in River
Force Captain Into Cabin and
Load $3,000 Time Fuse?
in Motor Boat
Three men, alleged by the police to
i be members of the gfcng of river pi
i rates who stole $3,00$ worth of time
fusea from a lighter in the North
River early yesterday, were arraigned
in the afternoon before Magistrate Sil
berman in Jefferson Market court on a
charge of robbery. They were held in
$5,000 bail each for examination next,
Mondav. The men are Charles Rosen
baum, thirty, of 356 West Twenty-fifth
Street; Frank Barkery, twenty-eight,
of 1181 Amsterdam Avenue, and Mi?
chael Toohie, thirty, of 486 West Nine?
teenth Street.
Captain Oscar Welly, of the lighter
Alice, docked at the foot of Twenty
fourth Street, was awakened early in
the morning by three men who cov?
ered him with revolvers. One of them
said:
"Captain, go back into your cabin or
?we will fill you with lead. Never mind
what we are doing here."
The captain saw them lower into a
j motor boat five bags of brass time
fuses for torpedoes and other shells.
Each of the bags weighed 300 pounds
and they were lowered by means of
ropes. Several other men were in the
motor boat, which darted away with
its cargo.
Welly telephoned the West Thirtieth
! Street station and Detectives Glynn,
| McNarnara and Doyle began a search
? of all piers and craft in the vicinity.
i After a two-hour hunt they discovered
i the five bags on another boat. The de?
tectives hid, and an hour later three
men appeared and were arrested. They
were identified by Captain Welly.
When arraigned the trio denied they
had boarded the Alice. They said they
had gone down to the river to get
some liquor off-a steamboat.

and Do Real Soaring
Glenn H. Cuttiss made a new record
for sailplaning over water yesterday
when he glided through the air above
Manhasset Bay for seventeen seconds.
He came within one second of doubling
the time of his longest flight on
Thursday, nine seconds. The record
was made on his second adventure
into the air of the afternoon, after
casting off a 500-foot towiine, at?
tached to a skimming mahogany speed?
boat that only needed wings itself to
fly.
Mr. Curtiss cut loose from the tow
line at a height of fifty feet, the great- j
est altitude he has yet reached, and
hi? motorleas, 140-pound miniature bi-1
plane with undcrslung bath tub at-1
tachment, followed straight ahead in j
the wake of the speedster for several I
seconds before i4 3 nose slanted down- !
ward. The glider made a perfect I
landing.
After he had been towed" back to the
hangar at Port Washington Mr. Curtis? 1
announced he would install a wind
gauge in his glider, attach a scale to
the towiine, lengthen the line from 500
feet to 1,000 and use a 1-32 of an inch
solid steel wire towiine instead of rope
or wire cable.
Friction Breaks Ropes
In the experiments Thursday and
yesterday Mr. Curtiss said that both
the rope and wire cable used ham?
pered by their tendency to snarl and
break because of friction. He broke
one line yesterday.
Larger floats will be put on the
wings, as the present floats do not
toucn the water when the glider is
floating and the little craft rocks from
side to side when under way, interfer?
ing with the take-off. The wind gauge
is to assist ?3i studying air currents,
and the scale will indicate just how
much pull is required to send the glider
into the air. With a thousand feet of
towiine Mr. Curtiss estimates that he
will be able to rise high enough in the
air?200 or 300 feet?to do some .real
soaring. At present a downward slant
is necessary when the line is cut, to
prevent "stalling" in the air, .and per?
haps doing a "falling leaf" with a
cold bath at the end.
The first flight lasted only ten sec?
onds and was made to oblige a squad
of motion picture men aboard two
motorboats. At its conclusion Mr. Cur?
tiss changed his towboat from the Cur
tiss-engined boat he used Thursday to
David McCullough's big hydroplane. He
reached the highest point of the flight
just off the nose of Plum Point, One
more glide would have been made, but
the towiine broke. At the end of an?
other line Mr. Curtiss went kiting to
the hangar??, making the two miles
from Plum Point in 3:08.
To Study Air Currents
Ashore the aviator said that consider
ahlp experimenting and study of the
wind currents must be done before the
more practical features of gliding be?
came apparent. He has yet to find
out just how little pulling power is
required to make the glider sail and
is also contemplating having an en
gined airplane do the towing, later
putting a little engine, about six
horsepower, In the glider itself.
The albatross, whose forebears took
such a terrible revenge on the An?
cient Mariner, has furnished interest?
ing study to the air navigators of to?
day, Mr. Curtiss said, and especially
to experimenters in gliding. The bird
can hop into the air and with no ap?
parent motion of its wings soar for
considerable distances.
"It probably takes advantage of puffs
of wind," he said, "lowering its wings
slightly to renew its forward motion."
During the winter Mr. Curtiss said
he would probably continue his experi?
ments at Pensacola, Fla. He expects
to go up again on Monday.

LONDON, Sept. 8.-?Rebellion broke

ing to a Helsingfors dispatch to the
Central News via Copenhagen. The
Odessa Soviets have declared South
Russia and the Crimea independent.
There is fighting in many districts be?

dispatch stated. The crews of war?

MOSCOW, Sept. 8.?The forty-eight
Cossacks recently convicted in Kiev
in connection with an uprising against
the Ukrainian government have been
executed, appeals entered in their be?

The Moscow government has stayed
the execution of eight counter revolu?
tionists condemned at Simferopol.
There have been several reports re?
cently of anti-Soviet outbreaks in
South Russia, but hone of them has
been confirmed. Dispatches through
Helsingfors on the Russian situation
have often( proved misleading in the
paut, and the foregoing should be
taken with all reserve.
PRECOCIOUS
The apricot gets its name
from the Latin vvord.praecox,
meaning early ripe. The
word, precocious, comes
from the same source.
In its native habitat, Ar?
menia, where the apricot
flowers very early, it may
truly be called precocious;
But at CHILDS, where it
blossoms on the menu all
the year round, the apricot
is a perfectly normal fruit.

Boy Into Arms of Parents ;
Tennessee Their Goal
GLASGOW. Ky., Sept. 8.?Carolyn
Shuster, eighteen-year-old daughter of
W. Morgan Shuster, president of the
Century Company, and former diplo?
mat, of New York, and William Morris,
eighteen, son of a Glasgow merchant,
were caught by relatives and a crowd
of volunteer helpers this morning at
Goodnight, eight miles north of here.
They had been gone since Wednesday
night.
The elopers, with four boy com?
panions, planned to go to Jefferson
ville, Ind., to be married, but their ma?
chine brok? down near Cave City. After
spending the night at the home of a
farmer five miles from Glasgow, the
couple and Roger Dickinson waited
while the three other boys returned to
Glasgow to get another machine. The
plan then was to double on their tracks
and go to Tennessee.
Miss Shuster, who, with her mother,
was visiting her grandmother, Mrs. H.
C. Trigg, is to be returned immediately
to Miss Beard's school for girls at
Orange, N. J. Her mother had offered
a reward of $100 for her apprehension
unmarried.
The elopers said that they had two
punctures at a point three miles from
Cave City. Basil Preston and the girl
stayed there while the other boys took
the car to Cave City for repairs, but
found thc girl's family there.
When the boys rejoined the elopers
they doubled back on their trail. About
fivo miles from Glasgow a wheel came
off the machine. Then they arranged
to Ftay the night at a farmer's.
The three who went for another car
were to meet the elopers at 8 o'clock
last night if they could not return to
the appointed spot by daylight Thurs?
day. Then they were to proceed with
the elopement. In the vicinity of the
rendezvous last night the three boys
found members of the family search?
ing. The elopers then were overtaken.
Carolyn's family took her immedi?
ately to her home and would not per?
mit her to talk with Morris.

and $50,000 for Air Pa?
trol, Also Salary Increases
Has Frills From Europe
Inspectors, Captains and De?
tectives Marked for Pay
Jumps; Not Policewomen
Police Commissioner Enright gave
the finance department a jolt yester?
day when he made requisition for a
boost ?n his budget of more than
$3,000,000. The 1S22 budget was *:":!.
136,730, This year the Commissioner
asks for $34,306,070.
An outstanding feature of the new
budget is an item of $50,000 for an nir
service and another ?3 an item cf $?25,
000 for a secret service system and
means whereby certain police officials
may obtain hieher salaries by being as?
signed to higher positions. Commis?
sioner Enright alao asks for another
secretary at $3,000.
The Commissioner, while in Europe
this year, saw some things in police ad?
ministration that looked good to him
and it is understood that part of the
$3,000,000 raise, if he gets it, will be
devoted to trying out some European
ideas.
On his request last year for a secret
service force the Board of Estimate al?
lowed the Commissioner to draw on a
contingent fund. His requisition thia
year indicates that he wants to make
the secret service force a permanent
feature, with stated salaries, in addi?
tion to contingent funds.
Chief Inspector Lahey is scheduled
for an increase of from $7,500 to $10,
000. The chief surgeon is to be .in?
creased from $6,500 to $7,000 and the
deputy surgeon from $4,400 to $5,500.
Eighteen surgeons now at $4,400 are ta
be increased to twenty at $5,000 a year
each.
There is provision in the 1?22
budget for nineteen captains who are
detailed as acting inspectors and re?
ceive $4,900. Commissioner Enright
proposes to pay acting inspectors
$5,000. No provision ia being made for
a marine inspector, the job having baen
made vacant by the retirement of
James W. Halleck.
In discontinuing the usa of old sta?
tion houses the Commissioner reduced
the number of police captains in the
budget from 103 to 86, at paieries of
$4,000. Fifteen of the former captains,
however, were detailed as acting in?
spectors, at $4,500 a year. The Com?
missioner also proposes to detail twen?
ty-seven lieutenants as acting cap?
tains, at $3,500.
The first grcdo detectives are to be
increased from 150 to 200. This in?
volves a budgetary increase of $65,000.
The salaries of second grade men are
to be advanced from $2,280 to $2,700.
The new budget provides for 10,739
patrolmen, while the Board of Estimate
has authorized an increase in the force
to 11,179. No increases are asked for
the fifty-six policewomen.
