Lexow Committee Investigation.
New YORK, Dec. 24.-Capt. Schmitt-

Capt Schmittberger is under indict-
ment for bribery. He had previously
refused to. testify before the senate
committee. Thursday, however, he
was rearrested and his bail increased
Friday he took advantage of an offer
of immunity from. punishment held
out to him by Counsel Golf. and agreed
to make clean breast of it.
Without question Friday was the
most important day in the history. of
the Lexow committee. Schmittberger's
confession is prolific not only of sensa-
ton but of evidence which confirms
and verifes; what have been hitherto
considered the most exaggerated cases

deals with more individual cases;
it shows the criminalfty that has pre-
vailed in the police department.. s;.s:

A reporter of The World yesterday

gave The World the largest circulation
of any paper printed in the English
language.
why" said he, ''any one who has
been a careful reader Of New York
papers ought to be able to answer that
question. 1t has the largest circulation
because 1t is the best newspaper. The
reason. you see. Is very simple. The
policy of The World always has been
to maxi every department perfect. 1t
has cost a good deal OF money to do
this, but Mr. Pulitzer had large ideas
and evidently never took time to con-
slider the cost. The result has been that
The World ID the great a%ll-around
newspaper the country ever saw.
NO NEWS TOO COSTLY FOR THE
PEOPLE.
Take. for instance, one feature Of
the paper to-day as an illustration Of
my idea. Ex-President Harrison, shortly
after he left the White House, accepted
a chair in the Stanford University and
Is to deliver a series of lectures to the
students on the Constitution Of the
United States. Such a thing never be-
fore happened in the history of this
country. To my mind 1t is a great
feature in our everyday life. Ex-Presi-
dents Of h United States don't go
around giving their views on the Con-
stitution every day. This idea hit the
editor of The World, because / noticed
when l picked up my paper q verbatim
report of his lecture. The other papers
had simply nothing. This one incident
bears out my theory of the success OF
The World. There is no corner on the
face Of the globe where it's reporters
will not go on a hunt for a story. Ex-
pense is nothing. To get the news is
all that is required.
THE American public is a bright
public. 1t did not take 1t long to find
out that when q neWspaper was wanted
a World must be bought. That is
the reason why, as all intelligent men
know. the circulation Of The World
is 433. l67 every day. I believe that in
five years more. 1t. will circulate a
million copies a day."
