Chairman Lexow. of the Senate Police
Investigating Committee. went before
he Grand Jury to-day at about l2
o'clock. He was in the Grand Jury room
for half an hour.
He said to a reporter for THE Even
Ing World" when he came out that he
mad been called before the Grand Jury
to explain certain matters OF which he
was supposed to have special knowledge.
rs 1t true" asked the reporter, that
you went before the Grand Jury for the
purpose OF trying to get them to stop
the threatened investigation by their
body into the Police Department. as was
suggested to them in Judge Cowings
CHARGE?
You are quite mind reader" said
the Senator. with a smile.
May l quote you as saying that you
tried 10 get the Grand Jury to desist
from making the Investigations"
You may quote me in any way you
please"
Later Senator LeXow acknowledged
that the reporters surmise was cor
rect, and that he had been before the
Grand Jury for the purpose specified
above.
It is known that there is a division
In the Grand Jury as to whether or not
the matter OF police bribery shall be
taken, ny. There are a number of the
Grand Jurors who insist that il shall
be gone into at once. They have for a
strong argument the special charge OF
Judge CowIng to them to Investigate
the great public scandal OF police cor
rupton. They have also for a stronger
argument, the section of the Code Of
Criminal Procedure, which specifically
says:
- The Grand jury must Inquire into
the wilful and corrupt misconduct in
oce OF public officers of every descrip-
ton in the county"
in spite Of these strong Incentives TO

The Commissioners also felt consider
able hesitation about proceeding to num-

Mr.. WHITNEYS LETTER.
Can 1t He Taken rs Rejecting Mr..
CleveInnds Opinionf

The letter OF William c. Whitney, in
dorsing Hill for Governor was pretty
generally discussed to-day. The ex-Sec-
rotary OF the Navy had been In confer
ence many times with the Democratic
managers during the past ten days. He
saw Senator Hill last Thursday. and af-
ter talk with Major Huxley and
l.ieut.-Gov. Sheehan yesterday he i'm
mediately dictated the letter.
In 1t he points out that the Senator Is
the party's leader in the fight, and that
1t Is the duty OF all Democrats to sink
for party principles. Defeat in this
State, he says, will mean discourage
ment for Democrats and encouragement
for Republicans throughout the coun-
try.
AS he Is a warm friend OF President
Cleveland, Mr.. Whitney's statements
will in many quarters be accepted as
rejecting the Presidents opinion.
