New York. November lS.-The Cur.
ran alderman!c committee investiga-
ting the Police Department. is inter-
esting itself Just now in police plants.
Testimony has been given before the
committee in the last few days which
parported 10 tell OF four prearranged
crimes. In each case the Police De-
par,rsent or some Of its members is
alleged to have institgated the crime.
The purposes Of the crimes. as they
were related by the witnesses heard
by the committee. varied. In some the
motive was promotion and in others
sharing the proceeds.
One Of the cases was that of the
burglary OF the African Feather Com
paay's loft IN Broadway. across from
Grace Church. Benjamin Levy. the
son Of the lessee OF a loft in an ad
joining building. testified Friday that
ne arranged for this burglary: got
the men 10 do 1t; lot them into the

bought burglars tools and dynamite

In this case the witnesses allege
that the police took part for the sake
Of capturing certain acknowledged
criminals. with a little matter of profit
On the side, il the allegations of the
confessed burglar are true. 1t was
said that Deputy Commissioner Dough-
erty framed this case.
Commissioner dougherty said to-day
that he had never framed a crime on
q man In his life. As to Levy. he said
there had been a series OF ostrich
feather rohberies last summer. in
which the work was so sk!lfully done
that detectives had made no Roadway

Lynchburg, Va. November l6.-Th~
further discussion Of the case of ]. +.
Valiant as to whether he sh ould Be
located or be allowed to remain In the
itinerant ranks OF the conference was
continued at to-day's session Of the
Virginia Conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. South. After muco
argument IN both sides OF the case
there was a call for the question. and
the debate was closed Bishop Denny
put the vote, and Mr.. valiant was not
located. The vote stood Sc for and
ll3 against his location.
Lipseomo Threatens Protest.
Before the discussi On OF the case
was resumed. B. +. Lpscomb stated
that he wanted IT TO be made plain that
no member in a discussion of ,his kind
had the right to take advantage %
the circumstances by attacking the
moral character Of another member o.
the conference on the door ,f the con-
ference. He said this wa done on
FRIDAY. and that he wished to state
that II 1t was repeated he would enter
a protest.
He said that tho statement Of Mr..
Valiant on yesterday that the letter
from his presiding elder. ]. n. Potts.
which he held in his hand. was false.
was virtually a charge against the
moral character OF one OF the mem
bers OF this conference. who stands as
high in the conference as any mem
ber This charge. he said. had been
taken up quickly by the representa-
tives of daily papers and had been
published broadcast all through the
Commonwealth. This, he said, would
give the impression to the public that
such attacks on the door Of the con-
ference were allowed. He wished TO
protest against anything OF the kind
being permitted again
Due to Misinformatiop.
Mr.. Valiant made explanation that
he had not intended TO convey the
impression that Dr.. Potts was untsuth-
full because of the letter he had writ
ten. but that. while the -etter was false
throughout, the falsity Yves due to the
fact that DR.. Potts had been ntsin-
formed He said that he would have
made this explanation on Friday but
TO. the fact that he was prevented
speaking further on account of the
arrival Of the time for the observance
Of an order of the day.
Mr.. Baliant then reviewed his work
on the Berlin circuit.
Sackinx in Common Sense.
Mr.. Potts was the next speaker. and
said that 1t was diflicult for him TO
keep his sympathy for preachers from
preventing his doing what his judg-
ment told him was oest for the man
and the church.
He said he considered Mr.. yalient
lacking in common sense. and while
a man Of the best moral character. he
WAS unacceptable as q pastor.
He said he had a profound pity fog Mr.
Valiant. and had begged him 60 accomplish
something worthy Of travelling preacher or
TO ask for a location himself Everything

Something About "SqueaIing."


That is not the wav Of the "high-
class gambler His way of sduealing
has more "fnesse" to It, He enjoys the
friendship of some one who is taking
care of his place. To this man he has
proved that he is a man who in stormy
times like the present will stand the
acid test and prove he Is no "squeal-
err"
The hundred and one times that he
has 'squealed" about opposition places
does not count. What he told was not
in the form of a "squeal" It was Just
to have his friend know what was go
ing on around him.
The opposition place that has been
"squeaeld" on does not enjoy the init
mate acquaintance or friendship of So
big man as the other fellow. so he.
poor fellow, has got to do his "squeal-
ing in the crude way of the Houston
street gambler He must write anonv-
mously to everybody in authority. either
as Public Spirited Citizen" or the
"Heartbroken Mother and Wife" whose
son or husband is losing all his wages
In So-andSo's gambling house.
If Uncle Sam knew the exact figures
as to how the postofTice Is enriched an
nually by these letters. he would insist
that all "squealing' be done entirely
through the mails.
These are few of the ways: there
are others more drastic but t,
'Squeai' as Jack Rose did, with only
the fact that he was being made thu
goat" with the electric chair starine
him in the face, he has committed the
objectionable sin OF "squealing" in the
open.
