Three officers to Report at Commits

Police Commissioner Bingham ordered Sergeant
Wasserman and Patrolmen Mara and Butler, OF
the District Attorneys staff, yesterday to report
for duty at the Commissioners office at O'Clock
this morning and remain duty there until
in the afternoon till further notice 1t is said
that the transfers the result of investigation
that has been made by Commissioner Bingham
and District Attorney Jerome into the methods
employed by the detectives of the latter's STAFF in
making raids and in other lines of service.
For some time the Police Commissioner and the
District Attorney have been receiving letters and
communications, mostly anonymous. concerning
the latter's so-called vice squad. This squad was
made up of County Detectives Recrdon- Jerome
Manning John Brennan and Francis Muldoon, and
Lieutenant Wasserman and Patrolmen Mara and
Butler.
On Wednesday night Commissioner Bingham called
at the Criminal Courts Building and took away the
District Attorney with him. 1t is rumored that
they had long conference the manner in
that the conference led to the breaking up of the
squad.
All the county detectives mentioned had SPECIAL

Mullen were ordered by the District Attorneys
office t. turn them in. which they did Tney are

good county detective, but my police inspectors
will take instructions from him.

MERRY OCEAN RATE VAR.
Trust and Cunard Slashing Back
and Forth.

Announcement was made yesterday at the
local office of the International Mercantile Ma
rne that because of the refusal of the Cunard
Line to make a differential of So 40 in its third
class rate on the steamers Mauretania and Lusi-
tania to the steamers of the White Star ana
American lines, it had made cut OF S'' 40 IN
the price of it's British and Scandinavian steer
age accommodations
The report of the rate slashing by the trust
had hardly become public when the Cunard Line
met the reduction announcing that II would
go into effect after the departure of the Lusl-
tania on Saturday. When the International Mer-
camille Marine heard of the Cunard's reduction
IL replied with another cut making total re-
duction for steerage rates on the White star
and American lines of 81 80. 1t is thought that
the Cunard Line will respond with another cut
to-day and unless an adjustment of rates Is
made soon, steerag ge transportation is likely TO
drop to an absurd1y low figure.
The CunaTd Line contends that S3l has been
the standard steerage rate and that II was JUS
titled in fixing that rate on its new steamers
Mauretania and Lusitania. The trust maintains
that the Cunard Line should charge at least
S3 40 more for steerage transportation on these
new and fast steamers.

TIMELY AUTO TOPICS.
Date Set for Banquet of automobile
Club of america.

The annual banquet of the Automobile Club of
America will be held at the clubhouse. in 54th street.
January %. Heretofore the clubs annual din

held in the clubs own home, for the first time
in the history of the organization they have
the up-to-date clubhouse of its kind in the
world and a banqueting hall that few hotels in
the city can equal in point of size, while
surpass it In the beauty of its decorations. Incl

clubhouse and introduce TO the members the beau

pleted so late last spring that many of them have
never had opportunity to inspect it properly

place of the modern motor car, Jules Jusserand
the French Ambassador. will be the guest of honor
while the other speakers include Chauncey NJ.
Depew, Augustus Thomas. Job E. Hedges and Pat
rick Francis Murphy.
AS the seating capacity of the hall is limited to
361 covers and more than two hundred reservations
have already been made. the committee is confident
that every seat will be taken before January Is,
when it closes the list. The committed is composed
Of A. r. Shattuck, chairman, Dave III. Morris and
Orrel A. Parker
1t is possible that a race for the Sir Thomas
Dewar international automobile trophy will not
take place on the Ormond- Dayton beach, Florida,
during the meeting promoted by the Automobile
Club of America. In the announcements and entry
blanks issued by the latter body 1t is stated that all
cars entering for this trophy first Of all take
part in a 1O0-me event and show speed Of sixty
miles an hour.
The holder of the trophy the Stanley Motor Car
riage Company objects to changing the conditions
as suggested by the Automobile Club of America.
The trustees of the trophy seem to be powerless in
the matter, Clause of the deed of gift is
follows: 1.-THE contest shall be open to any and
all cars of weight within the international cassi-
fication regardless of power country of
facture."
The last clause of the thirteen is follows:
THE board of trustees shall have power decide
all matters not specifically covered by these condi-
tions" This would indicate that the Dewar trophy
occupies much the same position In automobiling
as the Americas Cup does in yachting
Louis s. Ross. the first winner OF the Dewar
trophy in 1865 has built special to compete
for il again. and he also objects TO any change in
