WILSON SIGNS
SUKDRY BILL
President 0. KS Appropriation
Act Under Protest.
EXECUTIVE GIVES REASON
Declares That Antitrust Law Esemp-
ton Clause Is "Unjustifiable"-
Urgent Necessity Pre-
vents Veto.

Washington, June 24.--President
| Wilson last night signed the sundry
civil appropriation BILL vetoed by Pres
| ident Taft as his last official act and
the appropriation of $116,000,000 car
rieC in the measure was legalized, sub
| ject to the rider which says that none
of the funds shall be used for the
prosecution Of labor union or farmers
organizations. In signing the bill the
president issued the following state
ment:
Il have signed this bill because
can do so without in fact limiting the
opportunity or the power of the de-
partment of justice to prosecute viola
tons of the law by whcmsoever com
mitted.
Would Knock Out Item.
IF | could have separated from the
rest of the bill the item which author
lied the expenditure by the depart.
ment of justice OF special sum of
$4,000 for the prosecution of viola
tons of the antitrust law, would
have vetoed that item, because it
places upon the expenditure limita-
ton which is in my opinion unjusti-
fable in character and principle. But
could not separate it, | do not UNI
derstand that the limitation was in
tended as either an amendment or an
Interpretation of the antitrust law,
but merely as an expression of the
opinion of the congress--a very EN-
phatic opinion backed by an over
whelming majority of the house of
representatives and a large majority
of the senate, but not intended to
touch anything but the expenditure of
a single small additional fund.
Will Not Stop Justice.
Il can assure the country that this
item will neither limit nor in any way
embarrass the actions of the depart
ment Of justice. Other appropriations
supply the department with abundant
funds to enforce the law. The law will
be interpreted in the determination of
what the department should do, by in
dependent and | hope impartial judg
ments as to the true and just meaning
of substantiative statutes of the
United States"

DEPUTY COMMISSIONERS AND

The increase or decrease I'm the num-
her Of Deputy Commissioners should be
determined by the Board Of Estimate and
Apportionment and the Board of Alder

and demotion of inspectors should be con
tiniied. but the power TO alter this method
should be vested in the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment and the Board of Al
dcrmen and not controlled by legislative
enactment. We have been much i'm
pressed with Mayor GaynOrS suggestion
that more deputies and fewer inspectors
are needed Just at the present time. We
think it important that a Commissioner
should be able to choose uniformed
cabinet as well as civilian cabinet, and

Mayor Would Have to Act.

At the same time the committee felt
that provisions based on these recon-
mendatiOns would not seriously hamper
Mayor i'm his handling Of the police
problem. because the way is still wide
open for him to get rid of his Commits
sioner a any time. only under these sue-
gcstions he is forced To tell the people
in AN open and public hearing just why
he is getting rid of him
Furthermore. the suggested provisions
would prevent Mayor from refusing TO
throw an incompetent Commissioner IA
the wolves not only because the posi-
bility Of removal by the Governor j.
perpetuated but also because the Board

might compel public hearing on

Albany. March 9.-Governor Sulzer made
public Tonight the report of the depart
ment Investigators on the administration
of the state prisons. The report contains
no recommendations. 1t is "A summary OF
evidence respectfully submitted for your
careful consideration and for sIch action
on your part as you may deem for the
best interest of the state"
The report contained no recommends
tons because the probers themselves
could agree on none. Chairman Carlisle

warrants the removal Of Colonel Joseph

Messrs. Delaney and Lynn have been for
Scott and against Scott. and at no time
has there been clear majority against
the Superintendent. Therefore. tho IN

matter up to the Governor.
In giving out the report the Governor
made no indication Of what course he IN
tended TO follow.
Colonel SCOTS friends rather expect the
Governor to take steps To remove the
Prison Superintendent. This the GOV

says:

GAMBLING AND PROSTITUTION

The committee has considered these sub
iects only as they involve police problems
under present laws We have not studied
them as moral problems. Such invcstisa-
ton would have been beyond the scope OF
the resolution under which the committee
was appointed We have received shock
INK evidence of a widespread corrupt al
lance between the police and gamblers
and disordery mouse keepers. The elimi-
nation Of this grating Is one of the mos,
difficult and important problems with
which we are confronted. Believing. how
ever. that the problem IS essentially an
administrative one We shall deal compre-
hensively with il in our final report. We
feel that commissioner with fixed
tenure, with an adequate staff Of deputy
commissioners, with an ample fund for
the engagement OF a secret service en-
tirely outside of the department would
in time secure and maintain an admins
trative efficiency that would reduce this
evil 10 a minimum
We are opposed TO transferring the en-
forcement Of these laws 10 a department
Il public morals. as provided in bill now
pending before the Legislature. We are
also opposed to the suggestion that a
board OF social welfare be established for
the same purpose.
These suggestions have been almost
unanimously condemned by former COM
missioners. deputy commissioners aud
other public men appearing before us.
The responsibility Tor law enforcement
should not be divided between two com
Jnissioners or agencies.
