NEW CONSTITUTION
Is CALLED BOURBON
PrOgresSives Address Oper
Letter Demanding Action
Of Republicans.

Stanley NJ. Isaacs. chairman, and
Jesse Lincoln Bronner. secretary Of the
committee on the constitutional conyen-
ton OF the New York County Progress
sive Committee, have forwarded to Elihu
Root. chairman OF the constitutional
convention, an open letter emphasizing
the Progressive ideas which they insist
shall be embodied In the new constitu-
ton.
They point out that there have been
tremendous strides In the development Of
scientific government since the adoption
OF the last constitution in this State, and
they demand that the trainers of the
new law consider the wishes of the pub
lie. They do not think. however, that
the delegates are listening TO the voice
OF the people.
The letter demands that the pledges
made by the delegates to give a short
ballot ie kept, 1t points out that wo-
thirds Of the people of the State
living In cities demand the right OF home
rule in those cities, In closing the letter
says:
.The question NJ n constitution sbou,d
not be a partisan one. But AZ the Bour-
bon elements OF the Republican party,
swept into power by an ephemeral wave
due to a combination OF circumstan ices
which may not recur for a generation,
are apparently making OF the constitu-
tionai convention Republican caucus,
legislatlng against the interests OF New
York city and the State in the selfish
interests Of their party, the National
Progressive party will accept the cha,-
lenge and will enter into battle to mass
the electorate nj the State without re.
gard to party against the acceptance OF
a partisan or . reactionary constitu.

Mayor Attacks Method Of

A dismal picture Of the New York
police enjoying soft suburban berths or

murders piles up IL presented In an
open letter to Mayor Mitchell made pub

which Ia allied with Tammany.
Mr.. Bullock mounts to the superla-
tive in his fret paragraph. when he
says the police have failed to CHECK a
wave Of killing probably without n par
allel in the history OF the city" He
also Jay that SCORES Of murderers are
walking the streets OF the city to-day
free and unmolested.
He reproaches the police for falling TO
solve the Barnet Bar murder of Novem-
Der "a last, which. he tells the Mayor.
presents the biggest police problem un-
der your administration" He says
there were 149 murders In Manhattan
alone last year and that seventy-fve Of
them are absolutely unsolved."
Statistics for the entire city compiled
by this bureau" says Mr.. Bullock, IN
dictate that murder has become one OF
the safest crimes to commit. In the
five months from January 1 to June l.,
1915, seventy-nine murders were COM
mitted. In only n few cases has efficient
police work been done and in thirty-one
cases the police have totally failed" He
continues:
These ~thlrty-one specific cases OF I'M

means represent the sum OF the police
failure. Futile arrests have been made
In the case OF other murders week by
week certain of these murders are being
added to the unsolved list. In addition
