The beginning OF a definite and or

insanity was made last night when q
mass meeting was held under the au-
spices Of the National Committee for
Mental Hygiene and the committee on
mental hygiene OF the New York State
Charities Aid Association. The meeting
was the first OF. series which will con-

Exercised Right Of Review.

Mr.. Buckner then told Of the case OF
another policeman who had been dis
missed on July s, 1912 and reinstated
three days later. Mr.. Buckner wanted TO
know why. Mr. Waldo explained that he
hadn't considered the man dismissed; he
had merely revoked an order he later
considered too rigorous and mitigated 1t
10 q fine OF thirty days. From time i'm

Commissioner has had the night to re-
view such case"
when does this right 10 review stop?~
asked Mr.. Buckner.
When a man has been out less than
one year
Mr. Buckner, as he did many times
later produced 2 contrary opinion OF the
Corporation Counsel. Did YOU ever read
this" he asked.
NO" was the snappy answer.
Care anything about what the Corpo-
ration Counsel thinks
Certainly"
I'VE can't find anything in your files to
Chow
There are a lot OF things you can't
find" smiled Mr.. Waldo.
True a whole lot that ought TO be in
your files, sir
After that Commissioner Waldo e1-
planned frequently that he believed he had
an inherent right TO pass upon certain
cases. and II necessary, to change his de-
cislons. and each time the remark was
followed by reading OF the laws by Mr..
Buekn.r. The case Of William J. Hyland
came next He was out Of the depart
ment about a month. Commissioner
Waldo, in speaking Of this case. said
Il think Dillon came 70 me about this
case. am not sure. but think he came
and told me he was not quite sure about
the truth Of the woman's story. Anyway
this was merely another case Of my exer-
cisng my right 10 change my mind.
There was no rehearing. 1 merely modi-
fed my penalty. 7 believed l made the
change in the interest OF Justice, and also
that had legal right to do So"

Beau Brummel Each.
After hearing the summing up in the
Conroy case and instructing the jury
Justice Golf had luncheon in his cham
bers. He came out a little after 2
o'clock The four prisoners were i'm
mediately brought in, guarded by four
deputy sherifts. They were all neatly
dressed and evidently fresh from the
BARRIERS hands. They were quiet and
serious faced, but not visibly anxious
or nervous. Cirofici led the procession;
next came Muller, then Rosenberg and
last Of all Horowitz.
A short conference between the Dis
trict Attorney and Mr.. Wahls Just be-
fore Justice COT assembled the bench
gave rise TO a renewal of the rumor
that the four men were anxious to
plead guilty 10 a lesser degree Of MUIR
der than that charged in the indict-
ment None Of the lawyers concerned
in the case would verify this rumor.
II was explained 10 the four defend
ants before they were allowed to sit
down that they were indicted along
with Charles Becker, Jack" Sullivan
and William Shapiro on the charge Of
having killed Herman Rosenthal In
front OF the Hotel Metropole on July &c.
Mr.. Wahle at once moved 10 have
his four clients tried together rather
than separately, as he had at first sug-
gested. Although a proceeding Of this
sort is unusual in this state, every one
seemed satisfied. Justice Golf accepted
q because II would save time. Mr..
whitman liked the idea because 1t sim
plified the presentation Of his case ana
the four gunner are said TO have de-
sired the arrangement because they
feared that separate trials might lead
70 "souealing" by one Of their number
"Gyp" Objects to Tslesmen.
All four prisoners paid very close at
tantiou TO the proceedings and studied
the faces of the talesmen who were
called very carefully. Only twice, how
ever. did they make suggestions TO MT
Wahle or to H. Lionel Kringie. their
counsel. The two suggestions Whlch
were made came from Harry Horo-
WITT who objected to two OF the jurors.
In each case Mr.. Wahle respected ths
wishes of his client and issued per-
emptory challenge.
At the end Of the session ever! Oiio

said that in view of the publicity which
the trial had gained he considered tha'
the court had been fortunate TO secure
Ave men out Of twenty-nine. de de-
ciaed on account OF the progress winch
had been made not to hold SATURDAY
sessjon, and the trial Will be resumed
at 1913 o'clock Monday morning. he
allowed the FIVE jurors 10 go nome
after putting them on their honor not
to DISCUSS the case.
The opposing lawyers said that they
thought the jurors who had been chosen
were men capable OF giving fair and
Intelligent verdict The four gunmen
seemed to regard the day in court az a
rsspite from the prison atmosphere
AS soon az court was adjourned they
talked freely TO the men who gathered
about them. Horowitz, who excelled

Whisky and Drugs Factors

Mental unsoundness." the speaker
said, depends on two factors-the sort
of brain with which child is born and
the Influence OF environment on that
brain. More than ever before society IS
coming 70 recognize that the problems Of
crimlnality. Of inebriety, OF Vagrancy, OF
prostitution and Of pauperism are closely
interviewer with tho problem Of brain dis
order, and that efforts directed toward the
diminution Of the amount Of delinquency
will be effective only in as far al they
succeed also in improving brain quail
ity ana brain function; that is, in as far
as they provide for better acting minds"
This, the speaker said, is possible through
stricter supervision OF immigrants,
keeping out many inferior brains from
the country. II Is also possible through
the general instruction OF the public In
the causes Of insanity. which include alco-
holism, immoral living. physical diseases
arising from drink and the use Of potsons.
The duty and work OF the state In car
ing FOR the insane and In the prevention
and cure Of insanity was the subject or
DR.. James V. May. He outlined the work
done in this country from early times
in treatment for the mentally diseased.
explaining the work done at the present
time In tho various institutions Of New
York. In connection with this work DR..
May said:
a large proportion OF the patients In
state hospitals are suffering from NAL
ady that is unquestionably preyentaele.
OF the entire number Of cases OF insane
admitted 70 state hospitals last year
90 40 per cent were either durable or
preyentabIe. OF the durable cases there
are those which are due to what Is
known as dementia precox, high de-
gree OF nervousness or similar affection.
The treatment OF such cases In thor
oushly scientific manner. along hospital
lines. provided they are taken In hand
carly enough. is one Of the growing
needs OF the future 1t is 10 be accom-
pnshed BY the education OF the public
in the work the institutions are now
doing
