CHRISTMAS "RAUS''
Wholesale Retirement Said To Be
Present to Thirty.eight In"
spectOrs and Captains.

Police Commissioner Waldo, UNI
formed police official Informed The
Tribune last night, will sing this wee"
n swan song that will sound like a
funeral march to thirty-eight inspec-
tors and captains, one OF them Chiet
Inspector Max Schmittberger.
He intends, it is said, to cause their
retirement so that an equal number oi
Younger men may be promoted to their
Jobs. All of the men 10 get the official

for over twenty-five years. Schmltt-
berger is just twelve years shy OF crie-

lice Surgeons to-day, and II they can
wiggle their ears and do jig IN ~

man they will be asked to say au reroir
TO the department.
This news was not taken as very
cheerful holiday greeting by the old
war horses last night, and vhen they
went home they spent most OF their of
time trying to jump through hoops and
,o,ch the floor with their hands with
out bending their knees.
For some time Commissioners Waldo
is said 10 have been exercised over
what sort of Christmas present to nand
out. He realized that no tablet COM
memorating his administration Is to be
erected, and he wanted To leave behind
something that would cause his sub
ordinates TO remember him feelingly.

DECLARES OSBORNE
BROACHED MATTER
Was Told Investigation
Would Be Futile With
out His Help.
OFFERED TO DO ALL
WITHIN HIS POWER
Resents Any Insinuation That He
Had Any Ulterior Purpose
in His Action.

District Attorney Whitman was
shown a dispatch from Albany yester-
! day in which it was stated that he
was criticised by Governor Glynn. for
seeking designation as a Deputy At
torney General. He issued a short re-
ply to the Governors statement. in
, which he denied the intimation that
he sought the designation as a political
move, and declared that politics had no
place in the investigate he was con-
ducting.
The Governors statement said that
Mr.. Whitman had sought the design8-
ton. The District Attorney denied
ihis ard explained how James w. Os-
borne had first broached the matter to
him.
Mr.. Osborne came tu my house
Wednesday night" Mr.. Whitman said.
by appointment with ne. He stated
that his investigation. To use his own
language. was likely 10 blow up, and
that he was "A court without lawyers
officers or witnesses, and that he had
n hearing down for Friday or Satur
day. | forget which. and had no evil
dcncc TO amount to anything; and
stated that his investigation of state
departments was very unsatisfactory.
| told him that | would render him any
help that could and the subject or
examining witnesses before him came
up"
Il think that I suggested that. OF
course. unless empowered by the Attor-
ncy General or the Governor. II could
not be done outside OF New York
County. and stated that IL the Attorney
General so desired would accept such
designation.
MIR Osborne responded enthusias-
tically and said that he would nave II
done tomorrow. that's THURSDAY, and
that 7 would save him from very dis
agreeable situation. | nave not seen
Mr. Osborne since that time.
"A reporter for The Evening Post
came to my office OH Friday morning
and told me he had just seen Mr.. Os-
borne in the courthouse. and that ne
Osborne. had informed him that he was
TO request the Governor TO secure my
designation as Deputy Attorney Gen
cral and that he thought should make
the request. too.
Il stated 10 the reporter that mad
no; made such request of the Coy
crnor and that / should not. but that
and my office were at the Governor
service at all times and willing TO as
sist him in any way VIC were able.
This is the entire incident so far AS
am concerned.
Politics have had no place Whatso-
ever in the Investigations VIC have been
carrying on. and such suggestion
from any source is entirely unworthy.
