New York. Jan. 2O.-Rev. DR.
Charles Parkhurst gave out a letter
addressed to Mayor Low, which had
been adopted by the executive com.
mlttee OF the Society for the Proven
ton OF Crime, Of which DR.. Parkhurst
is president. The opening paragraph
read:
While the Society for the Proven
ton OF Crime considers itself distinct
ly an allay of the present municipal
government, there are certain princi-
pies OF action to which we have in
formally adhered and which we deem
1t incumbent upon ourselves to pur-
sue and to urge, even at the risk Of ex-
cepting the old policy of those whom
we would like in all respects to second
and support"
"In all our past activity as a So
ciety," says the letter, I'VE have pro-
ceeded upon the distinct understand
ing that law exists. for the purpose
Of being obeyed."
The letter goes on to say that the
first two weeks Of the present regime
have made it entirely indefinite as to
what civic righteousness in this city
is and what it is not. and to that ex-
tent have operated to put the reform
administration in the same critical at
titude toward law as was that occu-
pied by the administrations of 1892,
1898, 1897 and 1901
1t deplores the fact that while char
tered by the state to labor for the pre-
vention of crime, the society is not
quite certain any longer what is
crime" and says that ''the atmosphere
is clouded with ambiguity emanating
from administrative incertitude," and
that "the situation is morally intol-
cradle"
The letter further says that there
Is not very much to choose between
a Tammany administration that has
bad principles and reform admins
tration that has good principles, but
is afraid to use them"
The letter, which is signed by DR..
Parkhurst concludes by demanding OF
Mayor Low, that you brace your ad.
ministration in accord with your
OATH" and that he summon resources
at his command to work frankly and
resolutely in suppressing open or
clandestine violations Of recognized
statutes"
This action. which is entirely for
the prevention of crime, is construed
as breach between the reformers
and the reform administration.
