FOR REFORM OF THE
 NEW YORK POLICE. Recommendation to Relieve Them of Authority Over Social Evil.

New York, March 3o-Three radical recommendations for reform in meth ods of governing the police department of New York city are contained in the report ef the Wagner joint committee on remedial police legislation which will be submitted to the legislature at Albany tomorrow. The report is based on information gained at recent hear ings here.
 It is rec, mmended that New York De allowed to decide for itself the ques- ton of the sale cf liquor on Sunday.
 Responsibility should be removed from the police department for the en- forcement of laws relating to gambling and the soclai evil, the report states. This responsibility should be vested in a department of public welfare. com posed of seven members, appointed by the mayor from nominations made by civic, charitable and philanthropic bodies engaged in the work of anne Horatfng living conditions. The board is to have the power to appoint it's own commissioner and assistants, and to remove at will any of it's appointees.
 The third recommendation relates to home rule for the city of New York in the matter of administration and control of it's police. This Is declared the matter of home rule. It gives the local authorities absolute control, even to the change of existing laws.
 Regarding the social evil, the report says:
 These vices are so seductive and so contaninating that it is necessary to restrict the sphere of their influence and the number of public officials who may become affected thereby. The con centration of the enforcement of these laws in small body of men under competent head, guided by wise com mission, will reduce the possibility for contamination to a minimum"
 The report concludes as follows:
 Eliminate the power of the police man to exercise discretion as to the extent to which the law shall be en- forced, and you will eliminate sub stantially all criticism of his couduct and reestab1ish him in the condolences of the community

REBUILDING cRossoVERs
 ON THE NEW HAVEN
Railroad Is to Spend Over a Million
 Between New York and Boston. 4
New Hnven. .hIarch aa.

New Haven, March 5G.-
 In compliance with the recoI1unsn- dations of the Interstate Commerce. Commission and the Public Utilities Commission of Connecticut President Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has ordered the lengthening of 7a cTogs- overs between New York cdty ana Boston. This includes the installation of long crOssovers at all points Whera high speed trains are run and also additional important switch leads not included in crOssOYers.
 This necessitates the rebuilding of a total of 7S erossoVerB and the re- construction of 12 switch leads The work will incidentally require remod- cling or rebuilding Ss 1nteFlOc1rinH GOO, and an additional expenditure of about $350. 900 for changes of signals.
 All these crossovers are being heightened to what are termed in rau- road circles No. 20 frogs" The list includes 43 No. 15 frogs which have recently been installed with the ezpeo- tatton of providing for the most eU4 trene req uirements.
 While it is the popular concsptfom that the primary object of leugthen- ing these croesovers is greater safety. this Is in error, as the real object is to permit higher train speedE with equal safety. Vice President 70. IL McHenry stated yesterday, in response to a question as to the extent of ad- dftional safety insured by the recon struction Of these crossovers, that the mpracticabf7ity of providing any form of crossover which will insure safety at normal rnaiE line speeds of 60 miles an hour Is not generally un- derstood. He illustrated this by add ing that although g. train speed of be- tween thirty'sand forty miles an hour might be permitted on a No. 20 frog, the safety at this speed would be greater than on & No. 10 frog with 8 train speed of between fifteen and twenty miles an hour. While the uso of longer orossovers." he said 'tendg to safety under extreme conyiitionn yet, when the enslnemen totally dfs- regard signals. the greater latitude permitted in normal operation intro- duces additional risks not inheEUnt tr shorter crossoYeRS."
