Members of Department Be-
gin to Whisper That Mayor
Is Out After the Scalp
of Commissioner Enright
Hirshfield Opens Inquiry
Other Matters of Interest
Are Pointed Out as In
dicating Coming Events

David Hlrshheld, Commissioner Of
Accounts, 1t was learned yesterday, is
making a special investigation Of gam
bling conditions In the 4th Inspection
District, by order Of Mayor Hylan.
The announcement by the Mayor him
self that Mr.. Hirshfeld was making a
survey In "the new Tenderloin," in the
West Side Forties and Fifties, caused
members of the Police Department
who are accustomed to draw auguries
from everyday events to whisper
among themselves that Hylan was
"after Enright's scalp"
Even the Mayors statement that "any
Inference that he is doing it over the
head of the police is silly nonsense"
failed to shake the conviction of the
department augurs that the present
Commissioner is under fire.
1t was pointed out that Inspector
Dominick Henry Of the 4th Inspection
District is bosom friend of Enright.
If Commissioner Hirshfield's report
says that gambling is rampant in
Henry's district some Of the blame for
the condition will fall on the shoulders
Of the Commissioner.
Gave Other Indications
Attention was also called to the fact
that there are other indications that
the relations between Headquarters and
City Hall are not as smooth and har-
monious as they were when the Mayor
returned from Palm Beach, filled with
praise for his Police Commissioner.
Among these, the wiseacres enume-
rated the frequency with which the
Mayor was taking hand in police af-
fairs recently. They pointed out that
the "traffic crusade" which is still
flourishing, was ordered by Hylan.
They also called attention to the fact
that he interfered again in the case of
Miss Lillian Cohen and Miss Sally Co.
bin, who were exonerated by Judge
Rosalsky after being arrested on the
street.
Furthermore, they pointed out, the

Allie Of Roosevelt
Dean Lewis Makes Readable Book
About Career of Many Sided Man

TIE LIFE OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Hy William Draper Lewis: With an in
iIIa iisSsd auStton 10, ~, by william H. TAFT Pub
pp. $50. Price. S3.15.
No biography Of Theodore Roosevelt
could possibly BIZ dull. William Draper
Lewis, former dean of the Law School
of the University Of PENNSYLVANIA. has
written book which Is readable with
out being particularly able. DR.. Lewis
has all the undiscriminating enthusi-
asm of a Boswell without the close
personal acquaintanceship which may
mt the work of hero worshipper to
greatness. On the other hand, he was
associated with Roosevelt after the
formation Of the Progressive Party,
and saw too much Of him to be able to
form an aloof and impersonal judg-
ment Of the man. Most people who
met the Colonel even once will never
be able to qualify as wholly impartial.
Or. Lewis is neither close enough nor
distant enough from his subject to be
an ideal biographer of Roosevelt.
The book is in no sense a searching
Interpretation of the Colonel. His
psychology is undisturbed. Rather the
book is the work of rewrite man who
has gone over his newspaper clippings
carefully.
Even the warmest admirers Of Roose-
velt will find general statements about
the great American which they can
hardly allow to pass without question.
think, for instance, that it is little
difficult to accept tho judgment of DR..
Lewis when he writes: "He was q past
master in the art of handling men and
making them do what he wanted them
to do. But by conscious effort as a
young man he had so schooled himself
that he never balanced what he re-
garded as right to say or do against
its possible effect on his own fortune. /"
There is not such perfection in politics.
There is not such perfection in the
world. Again we would like to look
back over a period of years before
agreeing unreservedly with DR.. Lewis
in his estimate, Roosevelt was not
merely good executives; he was one
of the ablest executives we have ever
had in public life; certainly, in this
respect no other President can COM
pare with him except Washington"
Taft Defines Roosevelt
The book is not devoid, however, of
Interpretation. At least one valuable
bit of analysis is contributed by Will
lam H. Taft in his introduction.
Theodore Roosevelt" he writes, was
not radical man. He believed in law
and order. He believed in the right Of
property. He had sound economic
views, but injustice aroused him and
led him into denunciation that often
was mistaken for a radicalism that he
really did not entertain. His radical
ism, such as he had, took the form of
undertaking the necessity for orderly
procedure and of seeking short cut
to the reform of evil. He did not fully
realize the ultimate results of sneh
short cuta."
The boyhood of Roosevelt is handled
by Lewis in an interesting manner.
There is vivid description Of the one
spanking which the Colonel received.
Also it is interesting to note the germ

Bronx Suffers Most, as Sub
way Is Flooded and All
Trains Stopped, While
Phones Refuse to Work
Floods Run in Streets
Thousands Huddle Under
Awnings, Waiting for the
Heavy Downpour to Cease

The worst thunder and rain storm OF
the season struck the city Just before
the traffic rush hour yesterday evening
In black darkness, relieved only by
store lights. the streets were whipped
by downpour of rain driven by a
60-mile gale out Of the Northwest. Pc
destrians scurried for any shelter
available, and thousands huddled under
awnings and in doorways and subway
kiosks for more than an hour. Water
ran a foot deep in some crosstown
streets.
About three quarters Of an inch of
rain fell in the first downpour and by
the time the final drizzling shower had
ceased the weather experts had reg
istered 77-10Oths of an inch and many
thousands of dollars worth Of damage
waited for repair men:
The Bronx suffered more severely
than the rest Of the city, and was still
feeling the after-effects last night. The
subway was flooded, and at 5:18 D. m.
all traffic on the Bronx lines was
stopped. Service was not resumed un-
til 6:45 o'clock.
Crowds Wade Through Streams
Two trains were in the West Farms
subway tunnel under the Harlem River
at 145th Street, when the overflow
from cutters and sewers of The Bronx
streamed into the tube and took the
power from the third rail. Several
hundred passenger left the stalled
trains and splashed through the tun-
mel to the Mott Avenue station, sew
eral blocks away.
There conditions were not much bet
ter. This station, already the largest
in the entire subway system, Is be-
ing extended at the northern end and
shaft openings made by the workmen
let rivers of water in. Most of the de-
layed passengers finally left the sta
tion and used the Union Railway
system by way of the 149th Street
crosstown line.
According to Abraham L. Merritt,
superintendent of transportation of the
lnterborough company, at least $4,000
northbound passengers swarmed out of
the stations in the flooded section and
received "block tickets" which they
used after tramping mile through the
rain to the 149th Street station Of the
Third Avenue "L." Floods were also
reported at stations near the end Of
the line, but they caused little excite
ment, because of the few passengers.
At the Longwood Avenue station of the
Lexington Avenue subway traffic would
not be normal until morning, Superin-
tendent Merritt reported.
Telephone service was nearly para

Mayors letter to Commissioner En-
right on Thursday, in which his honor
enumerated in elementary terms the
duties Of the police, might be regarded
as a thinly veiled rebuke.
1t was also considered significant
that Grover A. Whalen, stanch sup
porter of Enright, had been appointed
Commissioner of Plants and Structures
and removed from all concern in police
affairs. While serving as the Mayors
secretary, Mr.. Whalen was most active
In police matters.
Says Police Asked Help
Mayor Hylan in his statement yes
terday on why the Commissioner Of
Accounts had been sent into the
Fourth Inspection district, said: "The
police asked me for help and l asked
Commissioner Hirshfeld to assist them
In every possible way"
He did not explain why Inspector
Henry and his men had been unable to
cope with the situation themselves.
further than to remark.
There are certain kinds of clubs
about which anonymous letters have
been received alleging that gambling
was going on there. We understand
that they move from place to place
when they find that the police are on
their heels. The police have great
difficulty in getting substantial evil
dence against these people.
"Commissioner Hirshfeld is sub
pmnaing persons interested in these
so-called clubs in order to find out lust
what is going on. Any inference that
he Is doing SO over the heads Of the
police is silly nonsense. He is acting
with my hearty approval and by my
request. There is perfect harmony
between him and the police"
Enright Not at Office
At the office of Commissioner En-
right, it was said yesterday that he
was away, and no one could be found
at police headquarters who would
authorize statement concerning the
matter.
Commissioner Hirshfeld last night
said:
II am surprised that the Mayor has
made a statement on this subject.
think we can get better results by
working with as little publicity as
possible"
District Attorney Swami said he had
not been consulted cncerning the in
vestigation, but that he was always
eager to prosecute such cases.
"The Mayor only to-day sent mo in
formation about gambling house, and
was very glad to get it," said Mr..
Swami. "That is the only thing on
gambling l have received from the
Mayor or the Police Commissioner
this week."
