Mrs Rutherford b. Hayes was the
last mistress of the White House to
taboo wines and liquors, her first order
being to have the glasses removed from

BY curious turn Of fortune, the

respect, glasses filled with the glow

bibulous rest upon 1t for support.
One Of the most prominent women in

Life of Policeman, as Forced
Upon Him, Responsible for
Making Bad Man of
Him, She Says.
WIFE TELLS OF HARDSHIPS
Adequate Salaries, Opportunity
for Some Home Life and Re-
duction of Number of Bene-
fitSocieties Remedies Pro-
posed by Investigator.

For two months the personal life Of
the New York policeman and his fam
lily has been under the scrutiny of in
vestigators from the Bureau Of Munich
pal Research in an effort to find an
answer TO the question why do cops
graft?" The answer. as given yester-
day by Miss Genevieve w. Beavers.
Who has charge of the work. was not
because as class they were worse than
other men, but because the life Of a
policeman as forced upon him could
scarcely be better devised for making
a bad man of him.
We started out with the general
proposition" said Miss Beavers, that
a bad man makes a bad cop Were
the conditions of his life, his financial
conditions. his social conditions and
the temptations that come TO him such
as TO make bad man OF him. to de-
moralize him? This was the question
for which we have sought an answer
through personal interviews with pa
trolmen and their wives.
We have gone right into their homes
and asked these questions. We have
seen for ourselves under what condi-
tons they are living, what difficulties
and problems they have to struggle
with. And, taking all the things to-
gether which we have seen, we have
found the answer to be almost in every
case that their lives are such as to tend
TO make bad men of them. Whether
they yield or not, the pressure to be-
come a CRATER is there-as surely as
for the wretched man with a sick and
hungry wife at home TO steal loaf OF
bread to relieve her wants.
Income $500, Expenses $1,000.
Take the first year polcemen-the
men who work for $500. Their expenses
for that year, for almost all Of them
have families-it was tbe family man
we considered-were at least $1,000. ]
think the story is best told in the per-
sonal narrative given us by the wife
Of one policeman--it is typical o'
many"
The wife wrote:
For two years before my husbanh
entered the Police Department he was
earning s1,10O year; his uniforms
we're paid for by his employer, and his
position entailed no other expenses. He
had regular hours, from 9 TO z, no Sun
