GRAFT BLAME

Mayor Gaynor Puts It on
Him.
DECLARES POLICE EXCELLENT
Scores Critics for Causing immortality
by Paying the Girls
', Starvation
Wages.
DECLARES POLICE EXCELLENT

-. e.. an RI. po1;oo
Lieut.. Becker was the "head and 'front.'
OF all police grating in New York was
the declaration of Mayor Gaynor in a
lengthy letter made public yesterday
defending his administration and espe-
ciaily the conduct of the police force,
Gaynor repeated his previously ex-
pressed view that Commissioner Waldo
was not to blame because he was de
ceived by Becker" and compared the
acts of the lieutenant now held for muir
der with the bank cashier who goes
wrong. Despite everything that has been
said against the police force, Gaynor
saws, it is in excellent shape at present
and doing its full duty.
One chapter of the mayors letter was
devoted to the disorderly house problem
and the mayor scored some OF his bit
terest critics as being responsible for
girls going wrong because they pay
them starvation wages. In this CON
nection Gaynor writes:
1T is motunful subject-unfortunat
women. They were in the world at the
beginning of history, yes at that Dor
derline where fable scarcely ceases, and
history hardly begins, and they are here
vet. They will continue TO be here until
by the aid of moral teachings the hearts
and propensities of. men shall be sub
dued and made better.
"One of the chief causes OF their re-
sorting to such life is that very often
they are paid wages which do not en-
able them to live. They are driven to
it. Yet some of those who treat them
in this way come forward periodically to
proclaim the loudest and most cruelty
against them.
IF it were possible under the law to
lock all of these women up, which it is
not, and we had places of detention for
number would promptly take their
places. We have to deal with this
problem as best we can"
The mayor then explained that the
only change he had made in having the
police deal with the evil was the pro-
hibition of policemen in plain clothes
tempting the women or accompanying
them to hotels He then cited Leckys
chapter dealing with the problem, and
said:
But let me forbear. The subject
is one to weep over rather to drag into
politics. And vet in this city every
year little politicians and investigators
try to crawl into office over the bodies
of these unfortunate women by starting
hue and cry about them. Nowhere
else in the world has this base specta-
Gle been presented And there are
others who in this respect, and in all
manner of vice and crime, are constant
