Duffy Pleads Not Guilty.

Sergeant Peter j. Duffy. the Sweeney
henchman who realized on his thrift"
"a "cop" by investments In some 5000
worth Of Yonkcrs real estate entered "A
plea OF not guilty To the indictment charg-
Ing him with bribery and extortion.
Abraham Levy. his counsel. took occasion
70 say that DuNy was not Sweeney
nephew. as had been reported. Duffy was
released under his previous bail bond Of
5000.
SWccneys motion for permission to in
spoct the grand jury minutes was argued
by Alfred j Talley. who handed a brief
10 Justice Gof. Mr.. Talley appeared to
think that the District Attorney had
previously filed either an answering am
davit or a memorandum. but Justice Coz
assured him he had no papers before him
Then take IL that there IL no opposi-
ton to my motion for an inspection Of
the minutes" said Hr. Talley.
II will pass upon the papers before me
and announce my decision later" said
Justice Golf. after Mr.. Talley handed
over his brief.
1t is expected that additional indct-
incnts against Sweeney will ovcrshadow
the present graft Indictment 30 much
that further motions on that will he SUI
perfuous. but II appeared incidentally
that Sweeneys friends were laying tho
blame for the inspectors present plight
on Commissioner Waldo. They declared
that Waldo In his speech at the Satur-
day night dinner had given too plain
An intimatioD that the Sweeney defence
would be to the effect that Sweeney was
in Brooklyn command at the time al
legged In the indictment-April ). 1911
With so much evidence against Sweeney
in hand Mr.. Whitman decided tina, IL
would be better to grind out more in
dictments against Sweeney and then 20
to trial on the strongest. Which will
prove strongest will be demonstrated I'm
the trial OF either Duffy or Robinson.
Sweeney himself I'm court with his coun-
sci. appeared to be more worried than he
was even on the day OF his arrest. He
did not exchange word with any one
while in the courtroom. but seemed TO be
more interested in the confessional plea
of Ashley Shea than he was In the pro.
ceedings I'm his own case.
Shca's poolroom. for which he paid $50 a
month to Fox, II appeared incidentally,
was located less than block from the
residence Of Captain Walsh.

May Indict Missing Witnesses.

Mr.. Whitman has evidence now. how
ever. TO indict several of these missing
ones. and II they do not return soon as
grand jury witnesses he will ask for their
Indictment. that they may be pursued as
fugitives from justice.
Shea's chief value TO the District At
torncy. II is now understood. will lie in
his knowledge and connection with graft
collections for other inspectors than
Sweeney. His evidence against Sweeney
collectors IS clear enough but Mr.. Whit
man has so much stronger an approach
on Sweeney through Captain Walsh that
Shca's additional information is super
huous.

or. sent word 10 Mr. Whitman Yesterday
that he had To attend a funeral. /, was

Reorganization Of Detective Bureau.

One of his greatest accomplishments.
the Mayor thought. was his roorganiza-
ton OF the Detective Bureau.
That was a great work he said.
There were a whole lot of curious people
on there. Every district leader in the
town. Republican and Democratic. had

DWYER SHOWS WALDO
A CRAFTLESS HARLEM
Commissioner on Tour OF
Sweeney's Former District
with Inspector.
NOT EVEN A POKER GAME
Resorts Open and Cabaret
Shows in Full Blast, but
Violations of Law? Not
a Solitary One.

Commissioner Waldo, Third Deputy
Dwyer made a two hours inspection trip
a bout Harlem last night, in the course OF
which they visited thirty cabaret shows,
cafes. hotels and poker houses. II the
inspection was for the purpose of ascer-
tanning how the new graftless regime OF
Captain Sweeney's successor was affect
ing the district, Inspector Dwyer. now In
charge, apparently covered himself with
glory. Although he made no comment,
Commissioner Waldo seemed to be highly
pleased
If the three police officials had confined
their tour TO the middle of the streets
through which they passed. they could
have found more violations Of the law
than they did in the resorts they visited.
In the cafes and bars orderly lines OF
citizens stood solemnly drinking their
beer. All was peace and dccorum In the
hotels, and in the alleged poker rooms
mild looking persons dozcd over their
newspapers or sat about playing pinochle.
At the cabarets the men and women sang
sweetly and danced gracefully and mod
cstly the Commissioners party entered
and stood for a moment watching the
gayety.
Mr. Waldo. his deputy and the inspector
left the West 18th street police station

Opposes a Morals Board.

TO a morals commission. Mr.. McClel-
Ian expressed strong opposition, declaring
that there would be "A constant clash be-
tween IT and the Police Department lie
did not favor the licensing Of gambling
houses, and opposed segregation Of dis
orderly houses as making graft easier.
Instead, he advocated the making Of the
social evil a nuisance. as in England, in
place Of a vice Excise violation. Mr..
Mcclellan declared, could be overcome
only by allowing Sunday openings during
the afternoon and evening.
To improve the character Of police Off
GERS, Mr.. Mcclellan suggested the estab-
Iishment OF a school similar TO West
Point and Annapolis where officers conld
he trained, at the same time developing
in them code OF honor. lie favored tho
dismissal of inefficient men and opposed
their reinstatement under any conditions.
The present salary schedule he believed
TO be just.
Low Would Have Army Organization.
Mr.. Low liked the idea OF a school for
officers. but he carried the idea even fur
Their, advocating the reorganization OK
the force on the lines OF the United states
army. The Police Commissioner, APP
pointed by the Mayor he would have oc-
cupy position similar TO the Secretary
of War The Chief Of Police, chosen by
civil service from the ranks, would be
commander of tho army, removable by
the Governor only after a court martial
As to the morals commission. Mr.. Low
believed the removal of jurisdiction over
gambling and other vices from the
police would allow the force 10 develop
an esprit de corps which would correct
many existing evils.

lagh and Commissioners Of Public SAFETY
Porter of Philadelphia will be examined
by the committee to-day.

Force Does Its Whole Duty.

The Manor reverted frequently TO his
declaration that the police force was not
corrupt or inefficient. At one point he
said:
Now let me be emphatic, Mr. CHAIR
man. ! hope there will be 10 delusion at
Albany that the police force is corrupt
or inefficient, or failing In their duty. III
is not so: emphatically. 1t is not so. l

people that are denouncing the city au-
thorities are probably comfortably en-
sconced in bed or in some club. and
have seen the police work. Go yourselves
and sec them, even i'm this cold Weathef
all over this wide city.
Mayor Gaynor spoke bitterly of the
suggestion that had been made that DIS
trict Attorney Whitman had not been
backed up and furnished with witnesses
and helped by the police force in every
thing that has been done" The Mayor
took the credit for having Sipp arrested
and brought back. and, strangely
enough" he said. II don't know that
have received more abuse for anything
that 7 have done than for that one act
with which ! thought had TO do. 1t was
said was meddling with the District
Attorneys business
The Mayor did not approve OF licensing
gambling. but recommended that any one
found in a gambling house be held guilty
of an offence the same as the proprietor.
That would put ban on gambling, he
said The idea of segregating disorderly
houses was "fanciful," in his opinion. lie
thought perhaps that the law now pend
ing before the Legislature to allow the
saloons to open outside of church hours
Sunday might be a good one.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-02-27

Mayor Gaynor had an opportunity yes
tcrday to aiS his ideas about tho police
situation" For two hours he was wit
ness before the joint legislative commit
tee, which held its first hearing in the
Suuogate's Court In the Hall Of Records
