trary to Corporation Coun-

The sldermanic investigating committee

yssterday afternoon trying TO find out
t-or Commissioner Waldo what right.
pnder certain circumstances, he had 10
dismiss and reinstate certain policemen.
The Commissioner fippant answers

IT is not good for discipline for your
committee to look into this thing in this

feet were on the sidewalk on the south
side Of 93d street. The delivery car
was across the street and its engine
was running. 1t was evident that Nc
Coy had got out to open the gate and
had been struck In the head as he
did so.
Dr. Glen. OF the Polytechnic Hospital
said that there was small chance for
Mccoy to recover from his injuries. He
took the victim 20 the hospital. Nc
Coy, who is about thirty years old. had
been in Bonta's employ for a month.
He came TO New York six weeks ago
and got a room at the Bedford branch
Of the Y. NJ. c. A.. and was recon-
mended to Bonita by the superintendent
OF that institution. His home is at
Providence, r. l., and he had character
letters from responsible persons there
Since he was employed by Bonita Me-
Coy had roomed at No. l25 West Goth
street.
Detectives Flynn, Fay and Donneily.
Of the West 125th street station, were
put to work on the case and learned
from Elmer Middleton. Of No. 1876 West
ODD street, that Mccoy was lying In the
gateway at a little before s o'clock. 80
it IS certain the man was struck at
least an hour before II was known ne
had been attacked. Bonita said Mccoy
had no enemies, and 1t was moro prob
able the attack was planned with a
view to robbery, as each night Mccoy
turned in considerable money to his
employer, whose chief business is doing
laundry work for hotels.

ployed by Arthur Bonita, who runs a
hotel and a laundry at Broadway and
Gath street, was found with a fractured
skull lying In a lot at Broadway and
93d street last night at 8 o'clock. A
piece Of lead pipe upon which there
were bloodstains lay In the street a
few feet from the unconscious man.
The police believe Mccoy was waylaid
by some one who had intended TO rob
him but was frightened away. mccoy
had more than $500 in his pockets
when found, as well as his gold watch
and chain. .....
Bonita has three motor delivery
wagons which he housed in a small,
garage in the lot and it was McCoy's
custom to return from his delivery
trips at about 7 o'clock each night. II
is believed that he got back at about
that time last night, for persons in the
neighborhood saw his machine IN 931

Prevention the Great Aim.

".Education is also necessary In the

cludes insanity due to immoral living

Prevention OF insanity by education was
also the topic Of Professor Garfield, OF the
stats Charities Aid Association. Profess
sor Garfield said;
According to the modern conception OF
philanthrophy the duty OF tho philanthro-
mist is tho investigation Of causes OF evil
and the prevention Of the evil by the pre-
vention OF the causes. This movement In
vestigates the causes Of insanity and then
by popular education aims to place IN tho
hands OF the public the knowledge which
will destroy the evil.
Science does not know at the present
titce all the causes OF insanity. But II
does know a great deal about the causes
and so can prevent insanity In many
ease. That is. II can II the knowledge IS
