WAKEMAN'S REPLY TO SHERWOOD.

Appraiser wakeman dictated the following state
ment yesterday in reply to one which Assistant
Appraiser Warner Sherwood took around to the
newspapers Friday night, in which he threatened
to make important disclosures in connection with
recent alleged silk frauds unless what he described
as unjust attacks on himself should be stopped
Referring to the statement of Assistant Ap-
praiser Sherwood, 1t would be manifestly improper
for me say anything. except 10 refer you to the
evidence contained in official records. and espe-
cially the report of the Whitehead Commission 70

that Mr. Sherwood should be removed from office
Mr.. Sherwood declined yesterday to add any
thing to the statement which he issued Friday
night He said that he did think that the
time had come for him to speak in detail on the
topics suggested by his statement He remar ked
that there had been a great deal of exasgeration
in the talk about the recent discoveries of frauds
in the Importation OF Japanese silks. Mr.. Sher-

THREE PLATOON EVILS.
NEW SYSTEM LEAVES THE OITY POORLY
GUARDED BY NIGHT.

Policemen of the city began yesterday to change
tours of duty under the three platoon system which
has been trial about month The change of
tours the end of every month. At the
end of three months all the policemen will have
had equal shares of day duty and night duty. Most
Of the patrolmen delighted with the sys-
TEN. which enables them to have eight hours Of
patrol duty and sixteen hours home every day,
except that every third day each policeman has
TO be in reserve at the police station several hours
after being on patrol
The fatal defect of the new system many Off
GERS of the force say, is that it does not allow
proper protection for the city at night. The two
platoon system. which maintained for many
years permitted practically the entire police force
be patrol or in reserve at night. one-half be-
ing the streets while the other half slept in the
stations. ready to be called out in emergencies.
Now as many policemen duty in the day
time in the night time AT no time more
than one-third Of the force be on patrol or more
than one-ninth be kept in The night posts
have been heightened until it is harder to find a
policeman post when he is needed than IT for
merly
The lawless element in the city has begun TO
appreciate the change. Robberes are becoming
more frequent. No great fire has occurred in the
city since the new system adopted, but the
that it would require several hours to call large
reserve force of policemen to any point to establish
Some Of the officers of long service in the police
TEN would become more apparent s time went on.
To prevent doubling up too many posts at the out
the patrol force strengthened by sending
back to patrol duty several hundred policemen VINO
men are being detailed again, gradually; to their
old jobs, and II is expected that they all Will be
back in easy berths before many months. Then
the beats will have be longer There will be
fewer men in reserve and fewer men post. More
thieves will go uncaught. More drunken men will
be allowed to S3 at large to get INTO ngnIs az
night until they destroy lives Perhaps. the old Off
say, the people Of the city will demand egsla-
ton for a reduction OF police salaries and change
OF patrol system and then the patrolmen will wish
the present system never had been tried.

tain for the Metropolitan Museum OF Art and the
American Museum of Natural History exemption
from the charter provision which requires heads OF
departments and others who handle money appro-
prated by the city TO contract for supplies at public
letting when the sum exceeds $1,000
The legal proprtety of excepting the museums
from restrictions of the charter clear to
Mr. Clausen. and he wrote to Mr.. WhaIen for ad-
vice.
In his opinion the Corporation Counsel says that
while in full sympathy with the meritorious objects
Of the trustees OF the institutions. he thinks that
any exception TO the provision Of the charter should
have clear statutory authority
Mr.. Clausen referred specially to appropriation
of ss50Oso the enlargement OF the museum ana
said he believed the work could be better done at
