SAYS EVIDENCE rs LACKING
Relieves That at Present There lis
Not Enough In shape to Connect
Either Murphy or Devcry
With Charges Made.

New York, Aug. 13.-The following
press dispatch has been received from
Albany:
1T may be stated on the authority
of Governor Odell himself that he will
not make any move in the New York
police scandal at present other than to
gather together facts for his own in
formation, thing he is doing now. He
does not believe that there is sufficient
legal evidence at present in shape to
connect either Commissioner Murphy or
Chief Devery with the charges. He
said to the correspondent:
The prosecution of the indictments
against some of the gamblers may de-
velop some new facts At present, so
far as ! have been able to discover by
my own investigation, there is not
enough legal evidence upon which TO
proceed against the heads of the police

Of the tipstcr Whitney and his partner

I{nii For Whitney Not Likely.
Whitney, III the Tombs, was no
very communicative. He said that III

TO secure ttc 81 500 hail for his partne
Rurgdnft. Whitney laughed when Ii
SAID that he was satisfied with lii

There We're two reasons for Whit

DISTRICT DAY AT BUFFALO.
Commissioners to select Date for
Special Exercises.

The Commissioners have received from
William J. Buchanan. Director General of
the Pan-American Exposition. TO be held
in Buffalo this year. an invitation TO des-
ignate a date which may be placed on the
programme as District of Columbia
Day Director Buchanan states that he
has been instructed by the executive com
mittee to make the request, which is SINH
lar to those made Of the several States.
The letter, which is addressed to Com
missioner Macfarland reads:
Il am instructed by the Executive Com
mittee Of the Exposition 10 express to you
the qualification it would afford the man
agement to be able TO designate, as a
compliment TO your District, some day
during the period Of the Exposition which
would be known as District Of Columbia
Day. on that day special exercises
would be held and we should endeavor
not only TO make it memorable event
IN the life of the Exposition, but that we
might have the pleasure of the Attendance
al that time Of your Commission and as
many Of the people Of your District as
possible.
'Wnl you be good enough to bring this
subject to the attention of your Commis-
sion and let me know at the earliest pos
sible date Of the selection you might care
to make for such a day. A similar letter
is being sent TO all of the States, End
hence it viii be necessary to find some
general scheme OF dates that viii cover
all Of the requirements.
Possibly you have some one day which
historically. or. for other reasons. would
be most agreeable to you, and If it is
practicable for the exposition to desig-
nate that day ] need not add that it
would afford Us great pleasure TO do SO,
hence my desire TO be informed with re-
gard TO your wishes in the premises at
the earliest practicable moment"
Speaking Of the matter yesterday, Com
missioner Macfarland said that the Com
Inissioners discussed the matter on Satur-
day. and had determined that they would
ask such suggestions as the people Of the
District might have to make in regard
10 a date for the proposed District Day
At the Buffalo Exposition. He said that
the Commissioners thought that before
naming the day the views OF those who
might attend and Of others who might
have a day 10 suggest should be obtained.
The Board, therefore, asks for such sug-
Restious, and Mr.. Macfarland indicated
that II would be best for all concerned If
the suggestions 10 be offered were made
IN writing and sent to the President Of
the Board Of Commissioners.
Nr. Macfarland said he and his col
leagues We're Eratified at receiving the in
Vitation. and that II was their intention
to respond TO ii, and II possible TO have
q District Day at Buffalo. which would
be creditable to the District as the Capt.
tai OF the Nation. He said that If Wash
ington was 10 appear only as a city, il
would be OF small consequence. but to go
TO Buffalo in the same class as the SOW
ereign States Of the Union was to his
mind placing the District where it ought
