THE ELEVATOR STILL WAITS.

The Evening World" artist yesterday
prepared for MIR. COTS use an elevator.
by means Of which he could ascend to
the top of the investigation building,
and an office directory giving informa-
ton az TO the occupation OF each floor.
The contribution was timely, mas
much as at yesterdays session OF the
Committee some Of its members eN-
pressed the opinion that the time had
arrived tor going higher and seemed
DESTROYS that their counsel should take
the elevator and start for the top
story. When MIR Con reached the Com
mittee-ro room he expressed his condemna-
ton Of the go higher" policy OF the
Senators, and justified the course taken
bv the counsel
But the reasons given by MIR. Con for
his dissent from the Committees Views
are not wholly satisfactory. He says
the Investigation began at the head,
and was confronted by II braZen wall: -
that the Committees witnesses were
taken from them in the dead of night
although watched up to the time Of
going to bed, and he believes that the
exposure OF the heads OF the Depart
ment would have been known to very
few, while the unearthing OF the lower
strata Of corruption reaches the masses
of the people.
Ex-Commissioner McClave's arraign-
ment led to his prompt resignation, and
the presence OF his successor In the
Police Board has certainly been help
to the investigators. II all the Com
missioners had been driven out. would
not the stealing OF witnesses from under
the very nose sof the Committee have
ceased?
The work done by Mr.. Con- has been
admirable 1t has furnished popular
proof that the vilest corruption prevails
among the lower members OF the force.
and that terrorism and blackmail have
been more general than people believed.
But ought not the inquiry to "go
higher" now that this fact has been
clearly established?
Is there not danger the people will
suspect that the higher officers, the
inspectors and Commissioners, are 10
lie allowed to escape? Ia It not to be
feared that some evil-minded and de
signing persons may spread abroad the
| lie that the tenderness towards the
| heads of the Department has some re-
latlOn to the approaching election?
MIR. COTS work has been too valuable
| too earnest and too effective to he
| subjected to detraCtion. But II would
surely be improved now by going higher
| and would be more certain TO secure
| that thorough cleaning out of the sys-
TEN impossible of accomplishment until
the chief offenders have been reached
| and In comparison with which AS a
| means of reform the Indictment and
punishment OF u few subordlnates
| would be IA bagatelle.
