May Force Police Commissioners Bing
ham Out Of Office,

NEW YORK, July 26.-The great city OF
New York. with as many policemen as
would equal the population of a thriving
city, was yesterday the center of a great
crime wave which some local newspapers
are charitable enough to attribute to the
heat.
Lax police control is the principal cause
Of the crime wave. Gen. Bingham. the
police commissioner, will probably be re-
tired bT the mayor of New York unless
there is some improvement in conditions
here in a few days. Already there are
charges of cowardice against several pO-
licemen for failure to arrest a double muir
derer, who STAYED off the finest with a six
shooter and had to be taken by a truck
driver welding bale hook. Meanwhile
the commissioner has admitted his own
inability to deal with the situation by warn
ing citizens to take matters into their own
hands, and thus help put an end to the
present era of crime and criminal out
breaks.
