BIRMINGHAM IS
 BEST MAN FOR
 JOB, SAYS M'LEvY
Has Handled Every Strike
 In Bridgeport Without Spilling Drop of Blood A
 Fine Tribute to An Hon est and Efficient Public Servant.


 "Efficiency is a minor consideration and the Republicans are simply pay ing political debts when they propose to add a lieutenant and IS patrolmen to the police force of Bridgeport de- clared Jasper McIsevy last night MT. McLevy was one of a committee of the North End Improvement associa- ton who appeared at the meeting of the streets and sidewalks committee of the Common Council. He has twice been the candidate of the So- cialist party for Mayor of Bridgeport polling large votes each time.
 Continuing, he said: "I main tain that a man with 40 years ex- perience in the police business is more competent to run that department than four men who are only interested in it incidentally, and who depend for their positions on the way the political wind blows.
 ''The attitude of the present Repub Iican administration bears out the statement I made while campaigning last September
 s'I said then that efficiency was a minor consideration and nothing drives the truth of that statem ent home any better than the fact that they are trying to retire Superinten- dent Birming gham who is admitted t.o be one of the most efficient police heads in the United States. This view is not only held by his own partisans but by hundreds of opposite political faiths, and the Socialist party will d D all in it's power--even though they do not control a single office-to retain Superintendent Birmingham in his present position.
 If the superintendent is inefficient and unable to further fulfill the du- ties of his office why do they not produce some evidence along that line? Superintendent Birmingham = 5ck1s- holds during one of the most stormy periods in the departments history, and during all the years he has held the office not a single word has been said that would reflect, even in the slightest degree, as to his ability to administer the affairs of the office. Many important strikes have taken place in Bridgeport during that time and he has handled them all with credit to himself and the city.
 Not an ounce of blood has been spilled during any of the strikes, which is, indeed a remarkable fact. During that time he has endeavored to give everybody a square deal. pro tecting, at all times, the constitutions al rights and guarantees of our citi- zens and l defy the present mayor or theApolice commission to name sin gle Aother police executive in the countFy who can produce better rec Z The only criticism that can offer at the present time as to the po1ice department is that the police com mission should be abolished and the affairs Of the police department put under a single head so that the re- lsponsibility can be placed, absolutely.
 The present system in Bridgeport is one that is at all times amenable to political manipulation and is a det- riment to both the principles of effi- ciency and good government. 2 ss9

Governor Annoyed By U. s. Probe of
 Mover Deportation

Big Rapids. Mich, Jan. 3-Governor Ferris was plainly disappointed when he learned this forenoon that the de- partment of justice had ordered Ed- ward J. Bowman, acting United States District Attorney at Grand Rapids. to investigate the alleged deportation of Charles H. Mover, president of the Western Federation of Miners, from the Calumet Copper Mining district.
 "It is strange they could not let us attend to that business at least until we fell down." said the goveron. I like Investigations but why shouldn't t we be allowed to attend to our af- fairs There is no reason for the gov ernment taking that matter up. We are merely waiting for Mover to come back and testify
