Dr. Parkhurst further remarked that the pas
sage Of the Bipartisan bill would enact parties
and politics as a constituent part OF municipal
life state of affairs which he and others were
seeking to abolish The Police Department would
become kind OF loaf to be divided between TWO
sets of politicians. He continued:
There IS undoubtedly a tacit understanding today
as to who will be the Tammany Commissiohners NJ II

FAILURE OF A PLURAL COMMISSION PREDICTED
The remaining point that ! would Ike to make
Is: plural commission OF any kind. partisan or bi-
partisan. in the city OF NewYork. is bound to be a
failure. The Republican Commissioners VIII seec'
Republican captains and the Democratic Som-
missioners will select Democratic captains az al't t1r ,
Republican Commissioners VIII take care ot f tnfF
sioners will take care Of their Democratic cap
tains When. therefore, a Republican captain Is on
missioners will regularly vote for his acquittal and
the Democratic Commissioners vii vote % to .,I c2nviGt
olp sf tbe time And besides ali that plurality in
a commission is in its very genius evasive; and in
this matter | speak feeins!y. Permit me - say
that for wG gGaTs SG h&y Pece

Mr. Smith then made brief statement with
Investigating Committee. which had been neld a
short time before lie said that the me- ting had
been very satisfactory.
Mr. SMITH EXrECTs \ THoROUGH INvEsTlGNTioN

changed its mind"
Ex-Judge Frederick G. Gcdncy argued in sup
port Of the bill that the police systems -: London
and Paris while ostcnsibly under one head were
actually under the supervision ~ cabinets ana

Navor Gilroy appoint Tammany Hall poll

a man would use the Police Department cNclu-

Otto Irving Wise described in detail the inter-
ference of Democratic police OF New-f 'rk win
storckcepers and with Republican candidates for

party 4 non-partisan Board OF Police would
give Ncw-YOrk honest elections. and that was
all the people desired.

into executive scssion and decided to report IN"
