POLICE FEAR BOSS MOSS
Prosecutor Tells Methodists
That Force Is Demoralized.

Assistant District Attorney Frank Moss
at the Methodist Social Union dinner. at
the Aldine Club. last night made several
critical references TO the failure Of the
police 10 check the gangs which, he said
were still overrunning the city. He ;ook
the individual polceman's part saying
that the demoralized condition in the Po-
lice Department had made II almost inn
possible for the men TO do their duty.
The men" said Mr.. Moss, are afraid
TO follow out their inclinations when they
see. men engaged in criminal operations,
because they are afraid that complaint
from the criminal to headquarters viii
result in a charge against the policeman
for dereiction Of duty and punishment.
Recently policeman in Harlem saw
some Italian toughs annoying young
girl in a manner that clearly indicated
their vicious intentions. This policeman
had TO reverse his helmet in order to con-
ceal his number and cover up his shield
before he dared TO drive away the mis-
creants.'

DENY DISSOLUTION PLAN
Cash Sale of Central to Union

dissolution of the Union Southern Pacific
raHfoau merger. calling for the sale Of

Tor cash. was characterized in we'll in
formed quarters in Wall Street Yesterday
as entirely predetermined II was further
said that there are two factions inter
ested in the separation Of the properties
when are somewhat antagonistic over the
disposition Of the Central Pacific. and
| that any arrangement involving a sale IF
this line to the Union Pacific would be
| fought in the courts.
| Southern Pacific interests believe that
! the Central Pacific is as valuable TO them
as II Is to the Union Pacific. and they will
use every effort TO retain the property
because Of !ts excellent earning power
In 1911 the Central Pacific paid 10 the
southern Pacific s6S4.00o I'm dividends on
the preferred stock and o,727550 on the
common. The amount OF preferred out
standing IS $2o0Co,0c0 and the common is
$6I215,5oo, all OF which is owned by the
Southern Pacific. Practically all this
| stock is pledged against an issue OF 500 70
IAOJo collateral per cent bonds.
The plan, which was the cause OF much
discussion yesterday, also stated that the
Sl26. 600 90 Southern Pacific stock owned

about par 10 Union and Southern Pacific
stockholders. and that the Offering of the
stock will be made by syndicate of un-
derwriters.
one Of the men largely interested in the
merger said Yesterday: Those who have
been predicting an early clearing up of
the Hartman merger situation seem TO
forget that no agreement may be signed
| by any Of the parties unit, the United
States Supreme Court has handed its de-
cree TO the Circuit Court. from which the
appeal was made. This has not vet been
