Crime and the New York Municipal Authori-
ties Resume Their Old Relations.

TO his own story, been having hard time of u
since his chief. the Rev. DIR. Parkhurst sailed
for Europe.
He asserts that he cannot get the district at
torneys Office to bring his cases on for trial
and that certain police justices in the city
obstruct his work in . subtle but none the less
effective way.
In a word. Agent Gardner declares that the
enormous power Of Tammsny Hall Is being
exerted every day through the New York police
department. to set tho efforts Of the society at
naught and to render what good IL has already
accomplished Of absolutely no effect.
He says that q majority of the dsorderIy
houses the proprietors OF which were indicted
through the Parkhurst Society are in full blast
| again, and that in cases where the district at
/ torney's Office has notified the conductors Of
such places that they must close mp the matter
has ended with the notice-that is, the house
/ kept right on doing business, and no additional
move has been made by the district attorney to
close them up.
| He referred to a single case Of this kind to
show how diligently the district attorneys Of
flee pursues the proprietors Of these disorderly
houses. The printed form spprtstng the owner
Of the house at No. 172 West SD street was
sent oat in the usual course some time ago
This form called the owners attention to the
fact that his house was run for improper .pur-
