flavor of persecution rather than

The two men under Indictment
have borne heretofore the best OF
characters. No breath of dishonesty
has ever touched them. Their ac-
cusers to day are self-confessed coun-
terfeiters and bribc takers, and the
District Attorney should remember
that thew must be considered inno-

they can be convicted. Mr.. lngham
is seriously i'll, and under present
conditions he could not be dragged
into court without endangering his
life. His family physician testified
to this fact, testimony which was
corroborated by one of the most
famous names connected With the
medical profession. The solemn
declaration of the family physician
alone should have been sufficient,
and il was sufficient with Judge Nc
Pherson, to postpone the trial, but II

PREPARING A POLICE BILL.
WHAT ROOSEVELT AND THE PARTY
LEADERS TALKED ABOUT.
THE GOVERNOR INTIMATEs THAT A WAY
MAY BE FOUND TO CHECK CORRUP-
TION IN TIE DEPARTMENT.
GBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUNE.l


Albany. Jan. 1.-THE Republican leaders
In the Legislature and prominent Repub-
cans who concern themselves about the policy
OF their party seem 10 be thinking seriously
about some kind OF legislation regarding the
Police Department OF New-York City which Is
believed to be in a demorallzed condition.
Governor Roosevelt returned here from New
York by the Southwestern limit express OF
the Hudson River Railroad at 4;20 p. IN. to-
day. He frankly acknowledged that the chief
subject OF consideration at the conference OF
Republicans he attended in New-York yester
day, and which Senator Platt and Benjamin b.
Odell. Jr, chairman Of the Republican State
Committee, also attended. was the Police De-
partment and the various plans for reform
ing IT, The Governor was reticent 10 the out
come OF this conference. and he only expressed
confidence that If there was any legislation re-
gardng the Police Department II would be Of
a satisfactory nature. He gave the impression
that there would be some legislation OF the
character indicated, and not merely that II was
under discussion
II is inferred from his reticence that this leg
islation has not yet been framed. and that he
does not care 10 express his approval of IT until
II has been put In the form Of a bill. Then
again, the Governor has recently adopted the
prudent policy Of declining TO express his ap-
proYal or condemnation Of a measure in ad
vance OF It's being debated and passed upon by
the Legislature Possibly therefore. he Will re-
serve his final decision on any Police Depart
ment bill until the Legislature sends It 10 him.
The Governor has long favored single-head-
ed Police Department for New-York. yet the
sngle-headed system apparently has It's embar-
rassments for him. Where Is the appointing
power to be lodged-in Mayor Van Wycks
hands or In his own? He has seemed TO shrink
from both alternatives.
Some Republican politicians OF prominence
have expressed the belief recently that Governor
Roosevelt would only consent 10 the appoint
ment OF a state Inspector Of Police Depart
ments. This would he an officer armed with
authority 10 investigate the administration Of
any police department I'm the State. Proof
would thus be obtained OF any corrupt man
agenent and If after the attention OF the Mayor
OF the city called 10 the derelictions OF his
subordinates no reform followed the Governor
would be justified. II is argued. In removing tho
