Bologna. where news was last received
from him. Both Commissioner WOODS
and District Attorney Swan are work
ing on the theory that Cocchi is tho
key to the white slave traffic in this
city as revealed by Mrs. Grace HunliS-
ton attorney for the Cruger family.
Eight detectives were assigned today
to the bureau Of missing persons. Rec
ords of the bureau show that since
January l between 700 and 500 girls
and young women have been reported
as missing.
Removal Refused
Mayor Mitchell today refused 10 re-
move Arthur Woods. police commits
sioner from office as requested by
Henry Cruger. father Of Ruth Cru6cr,
the high school graduate whose body
was found Saturday buried in the eel
shop. Mr.. CruSer had asked this. in
an open letter to the mayor. as re-
suit OF the failure by the police to
solve the mystery Of his daughters
disappearance, the discovery OF the
body being accomplished through an in
dependent inquiry conducted by Mrs.
Grace Humistof. counsel for the Cru
ger family.
The mayor made known his decision
after q conference with Commissioner
Woods. At the same time he announced
that at the suggestion Of Mr.. Woods. an
investigation would be made OF police
activities which will be independent Of
the one the commissioner has ordered to
b. made through police channels. This
new inquiry will be directed by the Office
of the commissioner OF accounts. Mr.
Moods told the mayor he thought such 4
checking up" investigation ought to be
made In order that no lingering doubt
should remain in the public mind such
as was apt TO exist when ''one depart
mcnt investigates itself without col
lateral check"
The mayor directed that the independ-
ent inquiry be made with two results in
vicw-hrst. to fix responsibility for the
police failure 10 find Miss Cruger's body
and prevent the escape of the murderer
and. second. to develop constructive sug-
gcstions as 10 improvement Of police
methods.
In q letter To Mr.. Cruger. the mayor
promised the city would leave no stone
unturned" to determine why the police
failed and TO. prevent similar crimes IN
the future. For that failure there was
mo excuse" the mayor wrote. and
whether it consisted OF mere stupidity
and Incompetence or OF worse" II would
be punished. The mayor paid high trib-
ute TO Commissioner Woods efficiency
end to his record Of three years.
