SUPT. TO CAPTAINS.
Byrnes Lectures Precinct Com
manders on Election Matters.
Tells Them to Be Perfectly Neutral
In Their Official Acts.
Excise Violations and Lexow Wit
nesses' Persecution Mentioned.

All the captains and acting captains
in command OF the various police pre-
cincts were summoned to Police Head
quarters this morning by Supt Byrnes
and lectured for a half hour.
1t was just 8 o'clock when the Super
Intendent began delivering his instruc-
tons, and 1t was precisely $50 when
the captains we're dismissed.
When seen subsequently in relation to
the matter, the Superintendent said:
My instructions were purely OF
private nature. What said was
merely calculated to improve the dis
cipline OF the force. There was nothing
OF an extraordinary character said or
suggested. have been in the habit OF
calling precinct commanders together
at stated periods for some advice THIS
was one OF those occasions"
The captains who were approached on
the subject refused to FAY what matter
or matters were discussed or what was
the gist of the superintendent remarks
1t was learned from an unofficial source,
however, that the Superintendent made
known his wishes with regard to the
coming election, and that his instruc-
lions were confined principally to that
matter. The captains, II was hinted.
we're cautioned to maintain a neutral
osition and to discourage any enort
upon the part OF subordir ates to exercise
any considerable influence for the bens-
fit OF one or the other party. The In
structions. IL was laid. were explicit on
this point. and any attempt at intimida-
ton upon the part OF any police officer.
TIE Superintendent Is said to have in
sisted. should he reported to Hcadquar-
tiers forthwith. so that the officer might
be summary disciplined
The enforcement OF the excise laws
was also mentioned. and the result Of
the Superintendent recent investiga-
tons was dwelt upon The fact that
there have been siXty-odd thousand vio-
latons of the law within a period of
three months was evidence of neglect
upon the part Of the precinct command
ers. the Superintendent declared, and
some effective measures should be used
to check the illegal traffic.
Numbers OF some places with the
names OF the reputed proprietors. where
liquors are sold In violation OF the law
were furnished to the captains, 1t was
said, from the reports Of the detectives
who gathered the evidence
Rumor had II also that the Superin-
tendent had great deal to say about
the alleged persecution of people who
had been before the Lexow Committee
as witnesses.

SOFT WORDS FOR BRICE.
Temporary Chairman of the Ohio
Convention Utters Them.
By Assoclated Press.

COLUMBUS. o., Sept. 1.-the Demo-
cratic State Convention met at 10 A. NJ,
with Frank Hurd, of Toledo, as tempo
rary chairman. Mr.. Hurd said in part:
Local interests represented by Con-
gressmen who desire popularity with
their constituents often interpose to pre-
vent necessary changes and to prolonG
q system which bestows local favors.
These considerations all appeal to the
practical legislator, and make necessary
at the beginning of great reforms a
slownesS of movement eNasperatng to
the enthusiastic reformers.
"For these reasons, the new Tariff
law may not have gone as far as many
may have wished, but II goes long
way in the redemption of tariff pledges
and reforming our tariff system 1t re-
duces, on an average, the rates of the
Mckinley law 30 per cent. But the chief
merit Is to be found in the free list.
The people will be saved nearly S45, OOO,-
600 per year. The addition of wool to
the free list makes the law one OF the
most important statutes enacted since
the war"
Coming to the division of the party on
the tariff question, Mr.. Hurd said:
as First and foremost, | give credit to
Grover Cleveland and John q. Carlisle,
Free wool is worth more TO tariff re-
form than all other provisions of the
law put together To their credit, be il
= said. the Ohio Democratic members in
the House voted for free wool. Since
by one word he could have defeated free
wool, more credit is due Senator Brice
than to any other influence, or TO all
other influences combined"

ton. Among downtown business men
