OF Police Devery yesterday interfered with plans

prevent such An invasion Of Tammany rights

mary order:
Sir: Call at the Bureau OF Information No. 300
WILLIAM S DEvERY. Chief of Police
Captain Goddard went TO Police Headquarters,
but instead OF obeyins the summary order to
port at the Bureau Of Information he went to
President York to complain of the order. Presi-
dent York said he would be in favor Of revoking
the parade permit, II the route of the parade
not changed to leave out Thirty second st.
Captain Goddard said he had committed
burglary. and he objected to receiving such
abrupt order from the Chief OF Police. He went
10 the office OF Chief Devery. and there was told
by Devery that good citizen he ought not
to stir up i'll feeling by having his parade go
past the Tammany district headquarters.
He asked Devery if there was any justification
for sending TO him such order to report at
Police Headquarters and Devery said he
thought the order all right. President York
joined in the discussion. and a stenographer
was called 10 take notes The Tammany police
officials finally declared that the parade permit
would be revoked so far 10 prevent the parade
from passing through Thirty second-st.
Captain Goddard still wanted 10 know what
right the Chief Of Police had to order citizen
who had committed NJ crime 10 report TO Police
Headquarters
What's wrong with that" Devery asked.

tain Goddard had the last word. Chief Dew
