HAYES SAYS WALDO
GAVE HIN ORDERS
TO CEASE ARRESTS
Planned to Stamp Out Vice,
He Charges, Till Superior
Called Him Off.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Cross- s-examined
by Assistant Corporation Counsel Far
ley today at his trial on the charge
of making false statements to a SUI
perio rofficer, former Inspector Corne-
Illus @. Hayes accused Police Commits
sioner Waldo of having interfered with
his work.
Hayes said that when he went to the
Fourth inspection district from the
First where he had made a reputation
70 rstamping out vice, he decided to
pursue the same tactics In the new dis
district as in the old one.
These tactics were to raj ddisorderly
houses after obtaining evidence against
them.
What happened while you were car
rying out this policy he was asked.
'"Orders fro mthe commissioner that |
was to make no arrests as long as
things were outwardly quiet" replied
Hayes.
What do, you think is the best man.
ner of stamping out these disorderly
houses?" queried Farley.
We'll, when l went to the Fourth
district l thought the houses ought 10
be closed up" said Hayes. Later, upon
receiving orders not to close them, |
changed my policy"
"lf 1t was your belief that they ought
you not close them?'
Because, answered Hayes. "I sum
posed that when superior officer gave
an order the superior officer knew what
ne was about and IT was up to me to
obey"

DENTISTS DEBATE
over QUESTION OF
COLLEGE ENTRANCE
Charge Made That Traffic in
Certificates Exists in
Certain States.

Delegates to the convention of the AS
sociation Of Dental Examiners held a
lively debate today over the question
OF qualifications of students for en-
trance to dental colleges. The examin-
ers do not run the colleges, but when
the college graduates come before the
State boards seeking license to practice
the examiners have complete power.
It is chargd that at present a traffic
in entrance certificates exists In some
states and that many students enter
colleges who are by no means fit to
study dentistry.
Debate today centered around the rec
ommendation of President T. Z. Turner
that every college entrant offer what
is known as fiften Carnegie units, the
requirements recommended by the Car
negie Foundation. The committee re-
President would make this even more
strict. Final action was not taken at
the morning session. DR.. ]. p. Stiff of
Fredericksburg, Va; DR.. ]. e. Orrison.
the District, and DR.. F. o. Hetrick of
Kansas were among the many who
talked earnestly on the subject.
A tangle in parliamentary procedure
threatened at one time, but 1t was un-
ha, who Is vice president of the asso-
ciation, who was presiding. A motion
to table the matter for a time finally
carried. Before today's sessions end,
however, some reform along the line
indicated is certain to be voted.
Delegates to the convention of the
Association of Dental Colleges were
holding a meeting in another room at
the Willard again today simultaneously
with the examiners. The college repre-
sentatives got into lively debate them
selves. DR.. T. w. Brophy, of Chicago,
brought UP a four-year-old resolution to
the effect that credit for advanced
standing he allowed students who can
pass the examinations, whether or not
they have taken the work at any insti-
tuition Of learning. DR.. Brophy assert
this to be done and he was challenged
by DR.. B. Holley Smith, of Baltimore,
who asserted that no college or uni
versity save the University of Virginia
would do as DR.. Brophy said they
The college delegates heard a report
from DR.. ]. D. Patterson, of Kansas
City, who told of case after case of for
eign students who ask for credit in
American dental colleges on work done
abroad. The answers in the specific
cases were told to the convention.
The dental examiners were guests last
evening at an elaborate banquet at the
New Ebbitt. Dr. Starr Parsons, of the
District, presided and twenty or more
responded to toasts.
Bishop Harding will give the invoca-
ton when the convention of the Ma
tional Dental Association begins next
Tuesday morning at the New Willard
Commissioner Cuno H. Rudolph is on
come, and DR.. Frank o. Hetrick. of
Ottawa. Kan, is to respond. The ad-
dress by President A. r. Melendy, OF
Knoxville, Tenn, will follow.
