BLAMECITY MURDER
ON POLICE INABILITY
Bureau of Inquiry Denounces
Woods's Methods and Calls
on Mayor for Action.

The Police Department of New York
is powerless to check the unparalleled
wave of wholesale killings which mas
made murder one of the safest crimes
to commit in the city, according 10 an
open letter to Mayor Mitchell rom the
Bureau of City Inquiry. In this COM
munication. which William Bullock,
director of the bureau, made public
yesterday, the Mayor is confronted
with list of thirty-one of the seventy
nine murders committed in the Greater
City since January l, in which inc
police have totally failed to track the
murderers. This list does not include
eight infanticides within the same five
months. FIVE OF which remain unsolved.
The Bureau called attention to the
present ineffciency Of the Police De-
p-rtment in checking crime in letter
TO Norman Hapgood, chairman OF the
Committee of One Hundred and Seven,
on April "a. The situation has not
materially improved since then, the
Bureau believes. In inviting the
Mayors personal attention to the Police
Department, their letter reads:
THE situation as il stands to-day
shows the Police Department practical.
ly impotent to check wholesale killings
or apprehend murderers, and this prob
len is of a gravity compelling the Blu
reau of City Inquiry once more 70 call
your attention to police failure and
urge action on your part for remedying
condition threatening every citizen
and putting a blot on the city. The
Police Department is a responsibility
resting particularly on the Mayor.
Scores Of murderers are walking the
streets to-day unmolested."
Twelve reasons, ali rejecting on the
policies inaugurated by Police Com
missioner Woods. are assigned for the
present inefiiciency of the police.

LAWYER ACCUSES BRYAN
Leon Says He Has Made Him
self Tool of Germany"

That William J. Bryan has turned
the diplomacy Of the United States
topsy-turvy. and is convincing nobody
but Germans now was asserted vest r
day by Maurice Leon. a lawyer, OF on
Wall Street
Thus" Mr.. Leon said. "Mr. Bryan
is the main factor for war between US
and Germany. His harping upon
achievements for peace and the failure
OF the press to give MIN due credit
for his treaties Of arbitration is ludi-
crous in view of the known facts.
There was a time when as Secretary
of State he might have done some
thing for the cause OF peace, but
doubt he had more pressing business
in those days. Instead he hushed up
certain incidents, and made himself the

Sioux Falls, S. D.-That the Sioux war
riors on the Pine Ridge reservation are
making great progress toward civilization
is shown by the fact that as the result OF
a great council held yesterday with repre-
sentatives of the government, they volun-
tarily placed a ban on dancing for period
extending until November |. Since time
immemorial dancing has been the chief
amusement of the tribesmen and their fam
lilies and sweethearts.
The prohibition was placed on dancing
SO this amusement would not interfere with
the work of the Indian farmers during the
period of sowing their crops and harvest
inc them These Indians were among the
last to make peace with the whites, and
many of them participated actively in the
last war of the Sioux with the United States
Government, which eliminated in the
bloody battle of Wounded Knee Creek.
The fact that these Indians, who formerly
devoted part of their attention to seeking
the scalps of 'spalefaces,' now have en-
gagged in farming and have placed ban
on dancing so their farming operations will
not be interfered with, shows the great
stride they have made toward civilization.
