Commissioner Bingham Re-
tracts Damaging Figures.

New York, Sept. 17.-Police Commits
sioner Bingham signalized his return
from his vacation yesterday by public
ly retracting the figures contained in
an article written by him and recently
published in a magazine, tot he effect
that the eJwish population or New
York furnished one half the criminals
of the city.
THE figures used in the article"
said Mr.. Bingham, were not compiled
by myself, but were furnished me by
others. and unfortunately were assum-
ed to be correct. 1t now appears, how
ever, tht these figures we're unreliable.
Hence it became my duty frankly to
say so, and repudiate them"
The commissioner concludes with an
expression of regret that so many
estimable citizens feel hurt by what
/ wrote without the slightest malice,
prejudice or unfriendliness. for I have
none," and thus without reserve
%withdraws the statement which was
promptly and vigorously challenged by
Jewish leaders and societies
