Police Commissioner Potts presided.
George L. Record made lengthy speech
in which he reiterated his charges that
the political bosses are controlled b. the

litical bossism should be abolished.
Mayor Pagan made speech along the
same lines. Neither said he wansed to

He declared he fought in the interests
of the whole people, but that he was
turned down because he would not obey
the orders of the political bosses. He
compared his own experiences with those

that the Majors hair was fast turning

Great Efforts Are Made to
Increase the Retirement
Fund Of the State Associ-
alton.
why IT SHOULD Be PUSHED
IT is A NECESSITY ON ACCOUNT
OF THE POOR SALARIES PAID
PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THE
GOOD OF THE WHOLE CoUN-
TRY.

An effort is being made by the teach
ers to raise more money for the retire
ment fund of the New Jersey State
Teachers Association. There is at pres
ent $4,000 in the treasury, and it is
the endeayor of the officers to raise $15,-
600 more in order to be able TO report
100000 at the annual meeting this win
ter.
An educator who is most enthusiast
cally working for the retirement fund,
said recently:
The teachers of the State are again
at work trying to augment their retire
meDt fund. Whenever this fund is men
toned there arises the old discussion. Is
it a charity? Is it form of insurance? !?
Why should teachers, more than others,
appeal to the public for aid in collecting
provision for their old age?
The fact is say the teachers, that it
is both a charity and form of insur-
ance. By contributions to the fund the
able teacher helps the disabled; the
young teacher helps the aged-to be
helped in turn when age oyertakes her.
Yet each one who gets help feels that,
by what she has contributed, chiefly with
the view of helping her neighbor, she
has become entitled to what she receives;
thus the sting of personal dependence is
removed.
"As to the appeal to the public, that is
a necessity-and public shame it is that
it should be SO. It is so because we have
nor learned properly to respect or to re-
quite the most important work done by
our. public servants. In commencement
day addresses we tell the teachers that
the greatest service that any citizen can
render to the community is to fit the chill
dren of American parents TO carry for
ward the banner of Liberty unfurled by
their ancestors, and to fit the children
from foreign lands crowding into our
country for adoption into the heritage
which they come to share. And on pay
day we belle our words-so far as the
women are concerned-lest the taxpayer
object.
"There are two classes of sufferers
from this great public hypocrisy-the
teacher and the children The teacher
suffers in silence. She teaches all day,
goes to a grade meeting in tae afternoon,
teaches evening school if she is lucky
enough to get one, teaches summer
school, if doubly lucky, makes her own
clothes, if she has many more than three
people to support ON much less than $500
year and .cultivates her mind or i'm
proves herself professionally in the in
teryals.
@The pupil suffers, secondarily, from
the nervousness, WEAKNESS, lack Of prep
aration and evaporation of teacher
thus depleted.

Shortly after the orders had been is

News met Commissioner Potts.
Hear about the transfer of the cap
tains?n asked the Commissioner.
No. Who were transferred?' quer-
ried the reporter.
Cody goes to the Seventh, Harring-
ten to the Sixth and Cox to the First"
Tell me. Commissioner, why were
those changes made?

why was Captain Cody transfer

Complaints have been made against
him because of the poolrooms in the

DO you know who made the com
complaints?'
Il can say that I do
''Can't remember one person who made

~oh. The complaint was general

What do you think the general pub
lie viii think when the news of the
transfers is spread broadcast?"
Guess everybody will realize that we
made the transfers for the good of the
Department. You know Chief Murphy
thinks well of transferring captains and
sergeants once in while. He believes
in their transfer rather than see patrol
men transferred
Some time ago. Commissioner. /
overheard police officer say that he
thought it would be well to take Captain
Cody out of the First Precinct and place
somebody there who could be trusted,
especially around election time"
4 don't know anything about that
and I will say that Captain Cody was
not taken out of the First because he
could not be trusted there" said the
Commissioner.
Don't you think the people will re-
gard the changes as rather significant
when you stop 30 consider that we are
on the eve of an election p
81 don't think so.' Then changing the
subject Of police transfers the Commits
sioner said: Peculiar political situa-
tion We have just now. Don't you think

asked the Commissioner.

announced the reporter

Because the Democrats will give
Henry their full support and because
many Republicans are sore on Pagan

Looks as though the organization has
broken away from Fagan,s' said the

MERELY
MENTIONED

The action of the Pagan members of
the Board of Police Commissioners in
transferring Captain John Cody from the
First to the Seventh Precinct, and bring
ing Captain Charles Cox down town,
Mayor Pagan has surprised and shocked
many of his earnest supporters who
would not have believed that he would
sanction or be a party to such petty poll
tics. Captain Cody, as everybody knows
who has any knowledge of police affairs,
is one of the most efficient and earnest
workers in the departments His whole
heart is in the police business and he
was. never known to shirk his duty, no
matter what the task assigned to nlm.
His transfer was not for the coed of
the service. 1T was for the good of
Mayor Fagan's candidacy. This is not
denied by Commissioner Potts, who is
the political member of the Beard, being
Secretary of the Republican State Com
mittee, nor by Commissioner McNnlty.
Mayor Fagan's uncle, whose votes
brought it about. Capt. Cody happens
to be friend of Col. Dickinson, and he
is the kind of friend that any man
would cherish. His friendship is of the
lasting kind. He is open and above
board. and never attempts to carry water
on both shoulders. Ingratitude is not in
his makeup and he loathes man who
processes friendship for another and at
the same time is stabbing him in the
back.

PULLMAN CAR ON FIRE

One Of the Pullman dining cars Of the

been badly damaged.

No political act of the political Police
Board since it passed into the control of
Mayor Fagan by the death Of the late
Commissioner Thomas Tilden. has caus-
ed such widespread indignation. That
the police department is being transform
ed into political machine to help keep
Mayor Pagan in Office for another two
years is as plain as day. Chief Murphy
in whom every citizen in the city, ire
spective of party, has the utmost con-
fdence, and than whom there is not a
more capable police head in the United
States. has had his powers curtailed Ia
accordance with an understanding be-
tween Mayor Pagan and President Nom
ahan of the Patrolmen's Association.
Discipline has been destroyed because of
the Mayors interference and the inject
ing of politics into the affairs of the de-
partment. insubordination is rampant
and the force is bordering on state Of
decentralization.

Capt Cody's police record is faultless,
Like Chief Murphy he is every inch a
policeman. Commissioners Potts and
McNuity will not deny this. Tney did
not make the transfer of their own ac-

were doing Capt. Cody an injustice and
that their action would bring down on
their heads the wrath of the business
