May BE Another Lexow inquiry.

If the police inspectors of New
York City should succeed in defeat
ing the Bingham police bill they will
probably find that they have run
their heads into a moose. 1t may
mean another Lexow investigation Of
the city. On last Monday night there
was introduced by Senator Page a
bill that probably escaped the at
tention of the inspectors. The rea-
son of that probably was because the
bill was only in the interest OF char
ter revision, but If the inspectors
read that bill they will find that it
is of such a nature that the inspec-
tors can be placed on the stand and
catechised. This bill has the en-
dOrsement of Governor Hughes. The
bill provides that the commission,
which is to be appointed by the Gov
ernor and be composed of nine mem
bers, shall have all the powers OF
legislative committee. BY this means
they can go into the workings of the
Police Department.

that when present plans are worked out
the office will have another department
to which it can justly point as an example
