ANSWER TO MAGISTRATE.

New York. Aug. D-Police Commits
sioner Greene yesterday gave out the re-
suit of the investigation into the charges
made by Magistrate Hogan that graft
still exists in the police department. Dep
uty Commissioner Davis conducted tsle
inquiry. and on Tuesday submitted ms
findings TO the commission. These. with
a letter. Gen. Greene sent to Magistrate
Hogan.
In his letter the commissioned details
fies the charges made by Magistrate Ho-
gan.
He then says that Mr. Davis visited the
various courts. obtained the various rec
ords, and in addition, held examinations,
In which the witnesses were sworn. and
then submitted his report As result or
the inquiry he finds the charges have no
basis.
II am bound to assume" Mr.. Greene
says, that your sole object in this mat
ter Is to punish members OF the police
force who are guilty OF blackmail, hola,
ups or extortion OF any other form. anu
that IL the facts show that you have been
mistaken In the charges which you have
made. you will be willing to admit H.
II. therefore, ask. with all respect,
first. that you will either withdraw your
charges that policemen boast in court
that women they have arrested go free
or go to Jail as they see ht. and that
you have absolute proof OF such cases.
or else that you will furnish me the
names OF the men against whom you
have such proofs. and second. that you
will advise me whether the evidence
brought out by Deputy Commissioner Da-
Wis in his Investigation OF the first and
third charges satisfies you that you w0.e
mistaken in making these charges, or
whether. In spite of such evidence, you
still adhere TO the charges.
I'm the latter case. / will immedia tely
place all the policemen In question on

the Officers will then be either convicted
