acterized every attack on the police since
he became commissioner, but in this case
he is supported by the newspapers, even
by those most bitterly opposed TO Tam
many. One paper calls the dispatch 'fic-
tion,' and the attitude of the other papers
Is similar. There never was a better illus
tratiOn of the American racteristic
which has been noted by many visitors to
the United States, that so long as the crit
icisms of anything American are printed In
the United States nothing is said But out
side criticism is denounced. The very pa

the condition of New York as being de-
plOrable."
