Committee Wants to Know About Tam
mRny's Flop to tho Tunnel scheme.
The Mazet Investigating Committee has
subpnnaed Corporation Counsel Whalen to
appear before 1t on Sept 10. AMI explain why
he took so long to act on the Rnpid Transit
Tunnel contract. Mr.. WhaIcn will he required
to produce before the committee his opinion on
the debt limit, which was given last
year. and any opinions Of the Court on
tho debt limit that he may have in his
Office. The members OF the Mazet Committee
regard as significant the fact that tho Tammany
administration fought the Rapid Transit
scheme until the Ramapo Water scandal came
up. and then turned around and offered TO aid
in building the tunnel.
George l. Riyes. member OF the Board OF
Rapid Transit Commissioners. and Edward F.
Shepard. OF counsel to the board. have hoen
invited to meet Mr. Whalen at his office to-day
and talk with him about thu. proposed form Of
contract between the city and, tho con

thinks should BIO made in tho form of con-
tract. Mr.. Whulen has had h" contract in his
office for over year, but he ha@ not acted
upon Ii, because. "a he explained several
weeks ago. he did not think II worth while to
do ANYTHING until the Municipal Assembly

Everybody's interesting friend, Dr.
Charles III. Parkhurst, superintendent
Of the Society for the Prevention of
Crime, is going TO up and at 'em again
AS everybody knows. the Society for
the Prevention OF Crime is an organiza-
tion that is found necessary i'm New
York under Tammany rule. inasmuch
as there is a prevailing belief that the
police force is engaged only in prevent
ing selected crime and permitting other
crime 10 thrive. So Or. Parkhursts
society comes in. 1t doesn't undertake
TO prevent crime directly. but seeks
rather TO keep the police department
stirred up TO the necessity of attending
TO business. When Tammany was In
power before. 1t will be recalled that
DR.. Parkhurst was Instrumental in Sc
curing an investigation of New York's
criminal interests by a legislative com
mittee, the result of which was that a
goodly proportion of the police heads
were cut of and Tammany went down
in all its pride and strength TO tenn
porary oblivion.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1899-02-03

Today. however, Tammany is in
power again. more strongly intrenched
than ever before, with a grand army
OF office holders whose salaries have
been Increased in a way to make the
taxpayers feel very unhappy and
everything coming its way. The heads
OF the Lexowed policemen have been
restored to their respective bodies. and
one of the chief victims OF reforms
sensational raid against crime, Devery.
is now chief of police OF the greater
city. So whirls Times whirligig. But
IL Tammany and Devery and all they
represent are up again, DR.. ParlShurst
is also alive and well and fit as a fiddle.
There is lots OF crime in New York TO
be discovered by the society for its
prevention, and there is a Republican
governor and Republican Legislature
at Albany. These are not likely TO be
debarred by partisan scruples from do
ing their full duty as It may be called
TO their attention. Incidentally IL may
be recalled that in the heat OF the
campaign for the governorship of the
great state Of New York. DR.. Parkhurs
said some very unkind things about
Colonel Roosevelt and apparently die
his best to have Van Wyck elected
But Governor Roosevelt may be count
ed upon 10 reform things, with or with
out DIR. Parkhurst, is there is anything
of the sort really called for.

Just so long rs the great European
maritime powers expend twenty mill
lions Of dollars every year in building
up and sustaining their merchant
marine upon tho sea. and this nation
does nothing FOR American ships where
By they can compete with the aided
foreign ships. just so long we shall
remain weak upon the sea--just so long
we shall be at the mercy OF our foreign
rivals. SO long as subsidies are paid
by other governments. and without
abatement--indeed. they are increasing
year by year-so long we must do like

going ships nor sea-going seamen. And

that the Brown University alumni of

that a fund grows faster with every

a term in Jail for breaking, entering

chickens just long enough to afford
