CONTEMPT FOR LAW.
PHILRIN LOOKING INTO THE POLICE
JUDGES REMARKABLE INSTRUC-
TIONS TO THE FORCE.

District Attorney Philbin yesterday ordered
investigation of charges made under oath
by various persons, against Deputy Police Com
missioner Devery Assistant District Attorney
Cans will to-day. II said. send for the
stenographer's minutes taken at the trial of
Policeman O'NeiIl. Devery is responsible for
the proper enforcement Of discipline in the de-
partment. II is believed by the District
Attorneys office that Devery, in his treatment
Of O'Neill when before him on charges at Police
Headquarters. has directly counseiled lawbreak-
ing
From what Assistant District Attorney Cans
gathered from O'Nells statement. O'NeiI was
enforcing the law when he arrested one Hol-
lander storekeeper for selling goods on Sun
day. Devery told O'NeiH that Hollander and
his family ought to have thrown the policeman
out of the window: that HoIlander should not
have been interfered with. and that O'Neill was
exceeding his authority in interfering with him.
Mr Philbia and Mr.. Cans look upon this off,
caI declaration Of Devery to one of his subordi-
mates as a serious manner. Pending Mr.. Phil
bins absence from the city until Tuesday. Mr.
Cans will look into the statutes with the idea
Of finding If Devery is warranted in instruct
ing his subordnates to wink the breaking
Of the law.
on August H. Devery said 10 Patrolulan Hes
sian who was before him on charges: When
you're caught with the goods YOU and can Z
get away with it. you want TO stand up with
nerve and take your medicine, You don't know
nothing then. No matter under what cirCum-
stances. a man don't want TO know nothing
when he's caught with the goods on him
Talk like that is rather too vague TO con-
strue as a direct incitement to lawlessness-
The Hoander incident is different however.
In that case according TO O'NeiH. Hollander
was violating the law, and O'Neiu was under
instructions from his superior to prevent such
violation. Devery in the face of this. berated
the officer. and encouraged Hollander and men
like him to keep their stores open on Sunday II
they want 10.
The stenographer's minutes put Devery in the
worst possible light and unless they are de-
stroyed or tampered with before Mr.. Cans gets
hold of them they are likely TO figure conspicu-
ously against Devery before the Grand Jury
when Mr. Phibin gets back 20 town.
1t will be recalled that il was Devery's reckless
order 10 his subOrdinates concerning McCulagh' s
deputies at the polls that resulted in Governor
Roosevelt's message to Mayor Van WyCk. The
Mayor compelled Devery TO revoke his order.
District Attorney Gardiner lost his official head
for treating the Governors message with con-
tempt.
When Police Commissioner Murphy was asked
last night if Devery had not exceeded his au-
thority in berating O'Neill and in saying that
Holander should have thrown him out of the
window. Murphy said:
I'm afraid he did. I can't say much about

last night by independent Democratic and Re
publican leaders in connection with the mayor

regarded as one of the possibilities. and his
name was one Of the first Informally brought
forward for the head of the ticket. Because OF
the strong probability that an independent
Democrat will be chosen, Mr.. Fitch received
more than usual consideration yesterday.
While the Republican leaders are depending
on the other anti-Tammany organizations to a
large extent 10 choose a mayoralty candidate,
it is generally conceded that Mr. Fitch would
be acceptable 10 them for the reason that ne
