PRACTICAL POLICE REFORM.

Supt. Brynes Ia universally recognized
as an authority on police affairs. He
has Intelligence and experience united
with a natural adaptability for police
work. and whatever he says on the sub
ject OF police organization Is worthy VI
consideration.
Board the Superintendent claims tina,
all the laws are generally well enforced
except the Excise law, which Ia sys.
tematically and constantly violated.
One cause is the difficulty the police
find In getting evidence against Its VIC.
lators such as Will secure conviction, es-
pecially since the action OF the Police
Board In condemning the visits OF po.
licemen In citizens dress to saloons, to
obtain proof OF illegal selling. 1t Is
almost impossible for uniformed men to
obtain entrance where the law Is being
violated, and II they succeed they are
met by the police Justices with the OBJ
lection that they cannot swear 10 the
sale Of beer or spirits unless they have
proved II by actual taste.
The Excise law. the Superintendent
says, cannot be properly enforced until
It's violation Is treated and punished like
other offenses against the statutes.
Mr.. Byrnes insists that no public gam
bling is now going on in the city. and
that the policy shops are all closed or
doing their business so secretly as to
evade detection. He points out the DIM
culties OF obtaining evidence against dis
orderly houses .ufY,riept IN satisfy tho
courts. and holds that tn break i'm and
close known resorts only scatters the
inmates among apartment houses in ron.
utable localities. and IA fraught with
danger TO the younger and Inexperienced
members of respectable families. The
Superintendent urges the necessity OF
some LEGISLATION on this imnor,an,
subject.

Suggestions for Reform Mads by
"Evcning World" Readers.

| Now that the campaign against the

systematically overcrowdlng their cars
has been fairly begun, THE Evening
World' In In receipt Of letters from the
, people daily urging that the warfare
| he kept up.
To all such anxious induirers THE
Evening World" would say that 1t hae
no intention of abating In the slightest
degree It's efforts to secure to the people
their rights, and to remedy the evil which
has for 80 long n time been one OF the
most crying grievances OF the New York
public
And In order 10 help along the good
work THE Evening World " would
like to have its readers who are interest
cd in the fight send in their views and
suggestions concerning the subject or
tell some Of their own experiences upon
he crowded cars and the treatment
which they have received.
People who live on the east side OF the
city have a particular grievance against
the Third avenue cable road. which
allows its cars to be overcrowded in
the most shameful manner night and
moda ton to the working people of the
upper part of the city who have com
pa ra lively short distance to go to their
employment and must get there early.
The street cars are more convenient
than the Elevated trains for these peo-
pie: in fact. the ~" roads have enough
Of their own overcrowding to do In the
uptown districts to do anything to re-
a few more cars during the rush hours
thousands of people who are now sub
tected to the greatest discomfort would
be benefited In fact. the Third avenue
1t now runs one during the busy time,
and give decent accommodations to its
patrons.
A great deal Of the present over
pany would start empty cars from the
vicinity OF Cooper Union during the rush
hours In the evening. from the hours of
j to I. or even from 8 to 7. One CORE
spondent calls special attention TO this
point. and adds that those who get on
the upbound cars In that vicinity. or from
above during the evening. rush seldom
get an opportunity to sit during the en-:
tire uptown ride, but are obliged to stand
in the aisles o. between the seats and
hang on the straps or uprights to pre-
vent themselves from being thrown off
their feet
These scenes. which occur daily. are
positively disgraceful. and yet, despite
the continual protests of the passengers,
suffesings by right every passenger
who pays his or her fare on these cars
ls entitled to comfortable seat and
the law should compel the companies
to provide them with such accommoda-
ton.
As 1t Is the managers Of the street
lines do not even make an effort to
relieve the pressure by running addi-
tional cars during the rush hours. but
permit their conductors to herd the pas
sengers aboard like droves of cattle.
In fact. they are not treated with half
as much care or consideration as the
animals are by an ordinary freight COM

This Is partially confirmed by THE
Worlds" regular European correspond
ent. who held a conversation with Mr..
Depew in London yesterday. MIR. De-
pew repudiated the idea OF being a
candidate. but admitted that he might
accept a nomination under the pres

What that emergency" might be.
Mr.. Depew foreshadows by expressing
the belief that the success CT the Re.

be made certain with Candidat "a
acceptable to the masses OF the party
free from any well-grounded suspicion
OF machine dictation, and OF such Ma.
tional character and record as would

Who can doubt that Mr.. Depew meets
all these requirements? Who is NOR,

They raid for Age.

An ingenious and a simple scheme for
raising money was recently tried In a
Southern parish by those who were en-
deavoring to wipe out small debt upon
their church. Little bags were given out
among the members of the congregation
In question. These people each put
into the BAG penny for every year they
had lived and they were all handed in
together. There was no way of finding
out who owned which number Of pen
MES. II there was any desire to be secret
sbout the matter, and OF course in many
cases there was such a wish. SO that the
idea worked admirably.
