I'm view of some recent statements in
the public press it seems to me judicious
to say that Col. Partridge has my una
bated confidence. | think that the whole
system of blackmail in the police depart
ment is nearer to legal detection and
overthrow, as result of his policy, than
it ever has been before.
My attention during the last week has
been given almost exclusively to the hear
ing on legislative bills and to the budget
| have not been unaware. nevertheless
of what has been going on in the police
department
The present situation Is the direct out
come of the perfect understanding and
complete cooperation between the mayor,
the police commissioner and the district;
attorney of New York county.
"Of one thing both the police and the
community may rest assured. No patrol
man, nor any police officer. will ever be
allowed by this administration to suffer
for doing his duty
The situation referred to in the mayor S
statement is one that has grown out of
what has been termed a revolt by the pa
trolmen of the Thirty-seventh street sta
ton. These men declared that they would
enforce the excise law and all other laws
regardless of the attitude of their captain.
After the patrolmen took this stand Dis
trict Attorney jerome said he would pre-
fer charges against the captain of the 9Th
street station.
