H0LD-UP MEN BATTLE
NEW YORK POLICE
Present Police Methods Scored by Deputy
Commissioner Dough-
erty.

New York, Feb. 20.--"Let the police
handle the crooks in their own way"
when we get an habitual crook, don't
make us coax him to be good--for he
won't be; but let us back him up against
the wall and make him be good
ALLOW us to send known crooks TO the
stone pile for six months every time we
nab them, and they'll soon give the town
a wide berth"
This was part of a police philosophy
expressed Sunday night by Deputy Com
missioner Dougherty. Angered at the
non-success of his men in capturing any
of last weeks highwaymen, who got
away with $4,000. he spoke his mind
about present police conditions, and he
frankly expressed his wish for the return
of old methods.
Dougherty did not mention Mayor Cay
nor-who is responsible for the order
prohibiting "piek-ups" on suspiciou-or
Commissioner Waldo-who abolished the
daily Lineup" OF criminals, and also
the headquarters squad of detectives
but he did express disapproval of some
OF their innovations.
He admitted thus far he had abso-
lutely no progress to report in the Horth
case, where the diamond merchant was
robbed of $4,000 in gems; the Trinity
place taxicab holdup, where the two
bank messengers lost $4,000, nor the
Beckerman holdup on the Bowery, whore
the bookkeeper was robbed of $685.. Co

the same admission.

Supreme Court Rules on Initia-
tive and Referendum
PROBLEM ONE FOR CONGRESS
And Not For the Courts to Determine
The Validity of Legislation in
Ten States Hinged on the
Decision.

Washington, Feb. 20.-0nly Congress
not the supreme court of the United
States, may object to the initiative and
referendum method in legislation in
states, SO the court itself decided yes
terday.
The court held that the question
whether state still maintained the
Republican form of government, guar
ahteed under the federal constitution,
after it adopted the initiative and ref
erndum method, was political prob
lem for Congress, not judicial one for
the courts.
The initiative and referendum pro-
visions in ten states hung on this de-
cision, and a contrary decision would
have affected proposed legislation of that
character in many others.
