G. ]. HURLEY
TN FAIRBANKS

c. J. Hurley, president of the Amer
lean Bank of Alaska, who went Out
side from Iditarod last fall and spent
the winter in Coast cities, arrived in
Fairbanks the middle of last month and
will lie over there until opening of
navigation,
Mr.. Hurley denied report that had
evidently been circulated in Fairbanks
to the effect that the bank in Iditarcd
would be closed.
To the Fairbanks Times he gave a
rather gloomy picture of Outside con-
ditions. "Business conditions on the
Outside are not very brisk. This con-
dition is especially true on the Coast"
he said, ''ard have been led to
believe through conversation with
many visitors that the same condition
exists throughout the Middle Western
and Eastern states. This business in
activity and uncertainty from a poiiti-
cal standpoint has exhibited depress-
ing effect in monetary matters. Cash
is short throughout the states, and
bankers are more wary than ever. On
the Coast, all of the banks are holding
60 per cent. of their deposits as cash
reserve funds"

CRITICISM OF MAYOR

In answer to further questions the
Mayor said he had no recollection OF
instituting an investigation after re-
ceiving Deputy Commissioner Bugher's
letter to see whether the allegations
were true. He knew the allegations
were chiefly untrue, he said:
Mr.. Buckner asked:

there is time left to go spying around
they are sent TO do that.
Mr.. Buckner read in evidence two
letters which passed between the Mayor
and Commissioner Waldo in regard 20
the Eldorado cafe, which inspector
Raves testified at his trial the Police
Commissioner told him 10 leave run
ming as long as IL was quiet on the
outside. The Mayors letter had sug-
eested 10 the Commissioner that II the
Eldorado was now properly run II
would be well not TO treat II as an ex-
ception.'
The Commissioner replied that he
would see that no action was taken
against II other than to preserve the
neace." The witness explained that
the management had complained that
their cabaret show was being inter
fered with by keeping police watching
the place, and as the place was run
ming properly II was thought best 10
take the police away. Mr. BucAnsr
thought this was a good example OF the
Mayors outward decency and order
policy.
The Mayor mentioned Becker's name
with the police graft again, and when
Mr.. Buckner reminded him that he
had been the first one to mention the
name and not the counsel OF the com
mittee, the Mayor said:
Mr.. Becker's name is no secret HIS
name-I hate the sound Of the name
and | hope | will never hear il again
| am sorry that any other officer Is
called Becker, and wish he could change
his name"
The Mayor was excused and the com
mittee adjourned at the call OF the
chair. Commissioner waldo IS sub
penaed 10 appear before the COMMITTEES
next Monday. and IL was not deter
mined yesterday whether the commit
tee would hold another session before
that time.

REINSTATEMENT CRYING
EVIL OF POLICE FORCE

Mr. Buckner cited instances from the
police records where the Mayor had
written letters to Commissioner Waldo
in regard to clubbing cases, and showed
that policemen who had been dismissed
on the recommendation Of the Mayor
were afterward reinstated by the courts.
The Mayer said the reinstatement or
dismissed men by the courts was one
OF the crying evils Of the police force.
He said the whole matter should be
taken out Of the hands Of the courts,
and hoped that the committee would so
recommend. The idea of saying that
policemen could be restored when they
were dismissed for conduct unbecoming
an officer was quite absurd TO him, the
Mayor said.
The Mayor said that he did not need
to recall the law on the subject, when
Mr.. Buckner asked him about 1t, for
If 1t is in the law II is in the law
whether I recall 1t or not" he said.
Mr.. Buckner continued:
O.-The committee would like to know
II il Is your idea that a Police Commits
.ioner should be the real head or the
department. or whether the Mayor should
be the real head Of the department.
Any opinion?
Q.-Yes. Al will express no opinion
here at all.
Q.-All right. A.-By law the Commits
sioner is the head Of the department.
That is all | can say.
Q.-And you have tried to make the
Commissioner the real head OF the depart
ment have you? Al do not know
what good the word real" the adjective
real" does you.
Ono? Ale is the head OF the de-
partment.
O.-Ail right. You have tried 10 make
him the head Of the department? Al
have not tried anything about 1t at all.
I appointed him.
Mayor Gaynor testified that before
he became Mayor no one could get on
the police force without paying for IL,
and the same with promotions. He
thought every one knew that. he said.
To become a captain one had to pay a
matter Of $4,000 or $1,000 he said.
The witness said he had stopped all
that. He said he had ordered that the
first man on the civil service list should
be selected, unless he was shown TO be
Of bad character.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1912-09-11

Mr.. Buckner called the Mayors at
tention to the letter of resignation Of
Deputy Police Commissioner Bugher in
october, 1910. Counsel read the letter
in which the Deputy Commissioners said
that he had remained in the depart
ment with great reluctance for some
time. "as you know" referring to the
Mayor. Mayor Gaynor interrupted
counsel to say
II know the very contrary. He was
trying to get me to appoint him Com
missioner, at the head Of the depart
ment. He was worrying the life out Of
me TO get appointed to be the head Of
the department"
Mr.. Buckner continued to read the
letter In which Bugher severely criti-
cised the Mayor for not lettering the
demoralized condition Of the depart
ment at that time, as he had promised
10 do. Conditions were so bad. the
Deputy Commissioner wrote, that he
could not remain In the department
