IBy Gable 10 The Tribune. ]

London, Nov. 29.-It is believed here
that Lord Cowdray, in addition to CIV
ing up the Colombian contracts, will
abandon the Pearson Ecuadorean con-
cessions. Ecuador, as well as Colon
bia, depends largely upon French IN
terests In banking and finance, end
these interests have undoubtedly had
much influence in opposing the en-
trance of British capital Guayaquil
and Quito will pursue the same policy
as Bogota.
The French banking group, which is
powerful in these cities, is decidedly
opposed to the widely ramifed intiu-
ence Of Lord Cowdray in Ecuador, be-
cause it has put its money in the coun-
try in return for control of the conces-
sions. The Ecuadorean Congress does
not meet before February.

IBy cable TO The Tribune.

London. Nov. 29-Demands for an
investigation of graft stories impli
eating the London Metropolitan Police
have recently been sent to the Prime
Minister by the secretaries of some
leading political organizations. Open
air meetings are being held, and ora
tors are denouncing what they term
the corruption and tyranny permeating
the police system and are demanding
an Overhaulins of its administration.
one Of the leaders Of the movement
for an inquiry is former Inspector John
Syme who says he was dismissed after
twenty years service because he com
planned of the tyranniCal methods of
two higher officers. He charges Sir
Edward Henry. Commissioner of Po-
lice with deliberately and maliciously
Furnishing him because he made COM
plant, and also with Furnishing a large
number of police officers who supported
him as witnesses at a secret inquiry
INTO his case.
The Home Secretary has received
startling document, in which Syme &C
Cuses Sir Edward Henry of "condoning
and encouraging perjury, blackmail
and the tyranny of superior over subor-
Innate, together with the manufaCtur-
ng of charges, the general misconduct
Of the superior police and the punish
ment of subordinate police officers for
daring to complain officially TO him of
the misconduct of their superiors.'
The document is quite detailed. men
tioning Sir Edward Henry's cOndona-
ton of a certain chief inspector, lin
dealings with London tradesmen, and
saving him from deserved punishment
when exposed" There is also a charge
of protecting another high official in
the police service from possible prose-
cution on a serious charge.
Members of Parliament the mayors
Of the various London boroughs, the
tax assessing authorities Of the metro
politan police district and others who
have taken part in the discussion are

political pressure is being used in many
