FITZGERALD ATTACKS
WASHINGTON POLICE
New York Representative
Harbors an Old Grudge.

.. Representative Fitzgeald of New York,
who was arrested on Inauguration Lay,
1901. for trying to cross a street in DISC
bedience of the police regulations, has
been an enemy of the Police Department
ever since. He had an item providing
for an increase in the salary of Major
Sylvester, the Chief OF Police, stricken
out of the District of Columbia appro-
priation bill when it came up i'm the
House. Yesterday he rose in his place
with a big bundle OF manuscript in his
hands. and made another attack ga the
Police Department.
He declared that not only was the ad-
ministration of the department inefi-
cient. but he had reason to believe, from
his Investigations. that IT was corrupt.
At some future time he intended to pre-
sent the evidence, some Of which he had
collected
Haven't you got a personal motive for
making this attack" demanded Mr.
Pearre of Maryland. Didn't you run
counter to the Superintendent Of Police
the discharge OF his duties on Inaugu-
ration Day?"
NO; he ran counter to me-" replied
Mr.. Fitzgerald.
That is the motive said Mr.. Pearre.
Mr.. Fitzgerald retorted that IL was
not. His quarrel with Major Sylvester.
he said. was that the Chief of Police had
given an interview to the Brooklyn
Eagle" derogatory to him and full OF
falsehoods, and that this had been done
with the specific purpose of injuring
him
You have charged that the Police De-
partment Of this city is corruptIy admin
istered," said Mr.. Hay Of Virginia. THAT
is q severe charge. and should not be
made unless you are ready now TO pro
duce your proof"
The gentleman from New York" said
Mr.. Pearre. was attempting to cross
Pennsylvania Avenue when a policeman
politely intimated to him that his orders
we're TO prevent any person from crossing
the street The gentleman from New
York imperiously replied that he was a
member of Congress and immune from
any orders of the Police Department.
That was the beginning OF the difficulty.
and that was what suggested the investi-
CATION which the gentleman has been
conducting
THAT statement Of the case" said Mr..
Fitzgerald, lis entirely at variance with
the statement Of every person who testi-
fed at the trial of that policeman"
The gentleman" retorted Mr.. Pearre,
who was getting angry, lis guilty of
worse conduct in concealing the truth
from this House"
The Speaker ordered Mr.. Pearre
10 sit down and recognized Mr.. Cooper
OF Wisconsin. ...
- The Democrats. applauded the ruling
and Mr.. Pearre sat down.

Explanation for the fact that Chief

rected to Mr. buttons lack OF expert
ence as a FIRE fighter by the request OF
the Commissioners 10 create new Of
fice-that Of superintendent Of the de-
partment. with the present chief at its
head with an increased salary.
This brought out the fact in the hear

affairs that Mr.. Dutton was the execu-

The provision requiring the fire chief

depar tment went through the House. but

There is said TO have been nothing

pressed position OF superintendent OF the
