WHY ARE They DIRTY?
Grand Jury Probes Commissioner
Andrews Regarding Streets.
A Cross Fire Of Pertinent Questions
for Halt an Hour.
Police Also Summoned to Tell Of
Filthy Localities.

The Grand Jury has begun an inves-
t,eation of the STRENGTHENING Depart
ment. They sent for Commissioner An
drews shortly before o'clock to-day and
questioned him about the condition Of
the streets. and why they are in such a
filthy condition.
They asked him to explain, II he
could why the garbage has not been
removed promptly, and asked him II he
could make any suggestion looking to
the cremation of garbage. They de-
manded to know why arrests had not
been made of people who throw things
into the streets contrary to law.
They inquired particularly into the
causes leading up to the great garbage
blockade, and asked why the Street
cope with the problem Of keeping the
streets in presentable and healthful
condition. Commissioner Andrews was
kept under a cross f1re OF questions tor
over half an hour.
Those who are supposed to have in
side information say that this move on
the part of the Grand Jury Is made for
into corruption in the Police Department,
as suggested by Judge Cowing In his
charge to the Grand Jury on Monday.
In. July the Grand Jury spent three
weeks III inNestisdtihS, INC otecs S.eoh
ing Department and they were lectured
by the Recorder for devoting 80 much
OF their time to 1t.
II this Is to be repeated the chances
are slim for the investigation Of the Po-
lice Department
The Grand Jury also asked pertinent
questions relating to the condition Of the
streets from many policemen who were
summoned before them. Capt. Cort-
right was before them on the same
business.
The prison cases which they had to
dispose of have all been taken up and
made to obey the instructions of Judge

TALK OF INDICTING GILL.
Some Dcpositors Want to Prosecute
the Bank President.

Efforts are being made by a number
OF depositors of the Harlem River Bank
to bring about criminal action against
President Gill. These depositors are
represented by Lawyer Gatens, who
had a conference with District Attorney
Fellows and succeeded in getting the
matter turned over to Assistant District
Attorney Davis.
Mr.. Davis said this morning that
while some of the depositors represented
by Mr.. Gatens were seeking to have
President Gill indicted, the largest de-
positors were not making any effort in
that line.
1.-THE point is this" said Mr.. Davis.
should we proceed to force indictments
It would only hamper the work OF Re-
ceiver Sickels, who is doing the best
things possible for the depositors. Al
ready Mr.. Gill has paid In $4,000 out of
$4,000, II criminal action were begun
the 1chance of getting the balance OF
this money would disappear.
I'm such matters II Is the wisest to
give time to straighten UP affairs. To
plunge headlong into criminal prosecu-
lions would most certainly be unwise."
