in The Bronx.
Commissioner McAdoo said The
assignment OF Titus as borough Inspector

II is true that for the time being he will
outrank McClusky, who as district Inspector

The c. =. L. Call to Them to Leave the

civic Federation Amounts TO Nothing.
The attack on the Civic Federation by
Central Federated Union delegates on
Sunday, resulting In the passage Of resolu-
ton ordering the unions to withdraw their
members from the Federation, was a sur
prise to members OF the latter yesterday.
A similar resolution was voted down not
long ago. The labor men and the Civic
Fed Grafton say that their unions have no
authority to withdraw them.
Ralph NJ. Easley, chairman OF the national
executive committee Of the Civic Fedora
ton, said yesterday:
1T looks from the action Of the Central
Fed Grated Union as IL there was a good
deal Of Misunderstanding as to how the
membership Of the Civic Federation Is con-
stituted Il has no delegated members
from either the employer association
or the labor unions The labor members
only represent themselves, not the labor
unions they belong to. For instance James
p. Archibald Of the Brotherhood OF Paint
ers. who is in the Federation, u there as an
individual. not as a representative OF the
brotherhood. Samuel Gompers does not
represent the American Federation Of Labor
in the Civic Federation. but only himself
and 20 with John Mitchell and the other
labor men in the body. You might as
well cay that Bishop Potter represents
the Episcopal Church in the Federation
or that Lucius futile represents the Boston
and Maine Railroad as 70 say that the labor
members represent their unions All
the members are there as individuals and
a. such can speak their minds freely.
Herman Robinson, financial secretary
OF the c. F. u. said that the resolution
would amount to nothing. union, he
declared, might a. wei order members

JEROME TO PARKHURST.
Remarks From the District Attorney on
the FaI1bllity OF Private Societies.

District Attorney Jerome was asked
yesterday about the Rev. Or. Parkhurst's
Sunday sermon and a statement by Supt
McClintock Of the Parkhurst Society
that the society was not being fairly treated
by the District Attorneys Office.
Il know Of no friction between this Office
and the society," said Mr.. Jerome 'All
complaints based on facts which are re-
ceived at this office are treated the same,
whether they come from a private society
or not. But just because the Hip Sing
Tong swears against the On Leong Tong
and vice vera and there are no indict-
ments II seems TO worry some people
when a private society says so and so
the men running the society think II ought
70 be done and indictments found just
bee ause they say so. Now no matter how
pure the motives Of the society they don't
guarantee its infallibility. This kind Of
crfticism-unfounded criticism-often be-
comes offensive when Il Is pushed too far
But that hasn't been the case with me
They know that am apt to reply in language
that even the most fat headed head agent
can understand"

from the man that he was William Ferris,
an electrician. living at a East Thlrty-fourth

reported this. He said that the man was
suffering from a scalp wound and epilepsy.
Some time later a message was received
