GO UP HIGHER, THEY SAY.

par,men, Don't you think that in response TO the
demand which Is being made on all hands you should
20 10 higher and ge; at the fountain Of all this
wrongdong?'
Mr. Moss-what We want to show now Is that,
notwithstanding the exposures that We have made
there Is no attempt whatever on the part OF the
Commissioners 10 discipline the guilty policemen.
Here IL this policeman whose behavior. as sworn
to by several reputable witnesses. has been dis
grace TO the police force on more than one oc-
casop. who is allowed TO roam around. drunk and
disorderly danger to decent citizens and yet the
Commissioners haven't done single thing toward
suspendng him from duty. much less even trying
him These cases are happening nearly every day
The Chairman--Well, why not have these Com
nssoners on the stand, and inquire from them as
to why this condition of things is tolerated?
Mr. Moss-We do not think that the time is yet
ripe but feel that IL soon will be.
DISGRACEFUL INACTIVITY.
Senator O'Connor-I think we should make the
Police Commissioners do their duty. We have
been making 1t quite warm for the policemen. and
now we want to know why we shouldn't go up
higher. We want to find out who it is that Is
guilty OF the postponerncnt smothering or what
ever II Is OF the charges against policemen whose
conduct has been shown TO be diszraceful
Senator Lexow reiterated his opinion that they
ought to 20 up higher. and the sooner they in
CURED into the conduct OF the Commissioners the
better Mr.. Moss said that the reason of counseI 8
apparent dilatoriness in calling the Commissioners
was that they didn't want 10 examine them alone
In regard to the matter 0, clubbing. but they
wanted to produce mass of testimony IN regard
10 their delinquency In all other respects. and he
ADDED that they hoped to be able TO do so soon.
