Coroner hamburger scathingly criticised Police
Commissioner Bingham yesterday. his management
Of the Police Department and his efforts to sup
press CRIME by shifting captains Mr. hamburger
said that General Bingham could not control the
situation and suggested that Governor Hughes
authorize the sheriffs of the different counties OF
the CITY c furnish deputies to help suppress crime
What the police want he said. is a police
officer at their head, not huIniliator, not an eA
treTnist with autocratic power greater than mat
given to d despot. and with martial procliVltes-
Il notice that tho frequent changes made by Gen
Bingham by substitution Of other captains IN
precincts have beea disastrous \ new captain
cannot famaTize himself win the condl'Ioh OF
a afairs in any precinct until several years nave
elapsed. The Sheriff and !. who are leaders IN me
Democratic party in our respective districts anu
who keep in daily touch with the people nave
taken wears in the study of faces. hut If we were
10 change places each would be green ana couio
-. - ox.,ao,od 20 do good work until he in
he saddle for some time -
Every month the Police Department. Tor the
good of the service is making these uhdes''dt,te
changes This an injury and detrimental to the
city. Our police become dlsheartehed' oIs'I't ',
grated. subjugated. and with these ne" la"ti'n
notions q militarism. in utter despair pay iho'e
attention military tactics than l" me 't' @
out OF crime The rank and file OF the police are
or the best coura geoIs and mostly all worthy
IF Commissioner Bingham is incompetent TO take
charge Of the department. then would Suggest me
sheriffs Of the various counties of the cltN or III
the County Of New York he called upon through
nsl deputies would susgest-and as & was IN
der sheriff | am familiar with the workings 81
that office-that these deputies could he see'e" n
districts where they have been living Tor Years
am sure these could give pointers I" the "'S,
OF tho old line detectives in the city IheN Wo"'"
reiuvenate and rehahitate the department. They
