-
New York, Dec. 23.-'tI have known
the New York police force pretty well

to be SO disorganized and corrupt as
it is today says District Attorney
Jerome.
tsIts members do not do their duty.
The district attorneys office is not
enioined to get evidence on wrongdo-
ing on the part Of the police, but
zens, to watch the department..
Recently we had hundreds Of COM
plants from the East Side of the prev
alence Of pickpockets. | sent one Of
my men there and he made many ar
rests, but when I took him off that
work the complaints began to pour in
again. Now Seward park and the neigh
boring streets are being infested with
youthful thieves.
ssAs to the excise law, it is not being
enforced, and it never will be enforced
BY any political party, for if any party
does attempt to enforce it, it will go
out Of power at the next election. A
new law altogether is needed:
Inspired by the interview OF Senator
Raines. who blames the New York au-s
thorities for failing to enforce his fa-.
nous excise law, Mr. Jerome announces
these opinions on the subject, that were
quite as caustic as those expressed by
the senator from Canandalgua. MT.
