ANTI.v1CE SOCIETY CHANGE.


At the office of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Crime. which got the evidence
for the raids on the disorderly houses
Thursday night. it was admitted that
Thomas l.. McClintock, formerly the
SUPERINTENDENT and for fifteen years
identified with the work Of the society
in investigating gambling and graft
in the city departments. had severed his
connection with that institution.
Nothing could he learned from the
present superintendent. b. Holzer. as
to the time or cause of Mr.. McC lntock =
resignation, nor could his present where
abouts be ascertaincd although it was
said that he is out of the city.
Other officers of the society displayed
the same reticence in regard to the change
Of superintendents. admitting only that
on Tuesday last Mr. Holzer had taken over
his new duties.
MIR. Holzer has been for some years a
clerk under MIR. McClintock. He took
part with Samuel Marcus and Assistant
District Attorney James +. Smith in the
raids He ridit uled the idea that the
ROeentiiai inNestiR iRatiOn had anything to
do with his recent activities They
WERE he said. the outgrowth Of the So
ciety's work extending over many months.
A. no time. not even in the days of the
Lexow inquiry have We had as many men
looking into the conditions which prevail
in this city as within the last few months
We have. however. had great difficulty
in securing sufficient evidence to make
arrests owing to the ingenuity OF the men
who control and direct the disorderly
houses. The constant interchange Of in
mates and managers by means OF GEN.

possible to find an individual twice at the
same address

The Assistant District Attorney who got
the exact figures as to these deposits
would not make then public. He said
merely that $4,000 was pretty close to
the amount. This brings the known
deposits made by Becker in eight months
up to approximately $4,000.

with the profits Of matchmaking disorderly
houses. District Attorney Whitman has
the names Of the collectors in these cases

MARIE CHAPELLE PARD0NED.
Incurable Disease the Excuse-Dis.
trict Attorney Surprised.

The District Attorneys Office was
greatly surprised yesterday to learn that
Gov. Dix had pardoned Marie Chapelle
a notorious disorderly house keeper, after
she had served only five months of a year 8
sentence. Her place, called the "brick
house, in Macdougal street, had been
raided many times.
The District Attorney is at loss TO
know what could have influenced Gov.
Dix to pardon Marie Chapclle, for she
was sentenced only after great effort
on the part Of the District Attorneys
office to put her place out of business.
II was known as one of the worst in the
city.
The Justices Of Special Sessions after
looking up her case were at a loss for a
reason for executive clemency.
An officer of the anti-viCe society
which caused her conviction, wrote to
Pardon Clerk Waldron at Albany asking
the reasons for the pardon. but he has
received no reply.
ALBANY. Aug. l8.-The pardon of Marie
Chapelle was granted on the statement of
relatives that she was dying of an incura-
BILE disease. it was said this afternoon by
John A. Mason. the Governors s secretary.
They did not want her to die in prison and
agreed To take her to her former home
in France.

organize Wharton school.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1e.-The proposed
changes in the faculty of the University

you that the university is not going TO bs

The Harvey-Wilson Episode

There is nothing. so far as we can
see, in the Harper's Weekly episode.
now the topic OF so much political
small-talk. that should shake the con-
fidence or esteem which any fair-mind-
ed Democrat may entertain toward
Woodrow Wilson. Indeed. the facts
in the case, as thus far presented.
would seem only to indicate the thor
oughgoing sincerity and independence
OF Gov. Wilson and TO heighten rather
than diminish his claim TO public and
party respect
Col, George Harvey. the editor OF
Harper's Weekly, has been singularly
aggressive in pressing the candidacy
of Wilson for Democratic nomina-
ton The fact is his ardor became
wellnigh monopollstic and IL is an
open secret that In many reactionary
quarters. both Republican and Demo
cratic, this strenuous attitude of Har.
per's Weekly gave rise to a deal OF
cynical comment,
Col. Henry Watterson makes a sig
nificant statement when he declares:
II had myself, as far back as last
October. suggested TO Gov. Wilson

posed environment. IL might be well

Yet. because OF his outspokenness,
Col Henry Watterson Is now moved
to say, in the most civil and elegant
manner TO be sure. that he Is disap-
pointed in Woodrow Wilson, that he
had hoped to find In him another Til
den. but that he doubts whether he
is not a schoolmaster rather than
statesman.
This is n most remarkable indict-
ment In view of the circumstances
that have prompted il. Certainly
there is nothing academic in the Will
son method OF dealing with the Har-
per's Weekly situation; and certain
ly. in the governors record OF accom-
plishment In New Jersey, there is
nothing 70 suggest that he is a man
OF doctrinalre speculation rather than
one OF action and executive capacity.
