the First Inspection District.
Costigan's records also show the ar
rest of large number of "crap shoot
ers," but includes, too, the raiding of a
large number Of poolrooms and clubs,
two of them being the most popular
after hours" resorts in the Park Row
district.
Commissioner Enright, unaware that
this record had been brought to light,
announced that Costigan's record in the
First Inspection District was "rotten,"
when asked yesterday morning to COM
ment further on his letter to the Mayor
on Friday.
"And," the Commissioner continued,
S3,6e2."
Doesn't that show Inspector Co.'S
tigan had been active?' Mr.. Enright
was asked.
Talk Like a Lawyer"
"Well, l really can't say what he got
for it," was the reply.
Haven't you checked it up 2" which
came next, caused Enright to look at
the questioner and remark: We'll!
What is your fee. You talk like a
lawyer.
Didn't the city get its moneys
worth for the work Costigan did and
the money he spent?" the Commits
sioner was asked.
"I'm not finding fault with the money
he spent" was the reply, "but his
record as to the number of arrests for
gambling is rotten"
At first Commissioner Enright
didn't see why not" when he was
asked for the record of the social SER
vice division which, he had said, made
316 arrests over Costigan's head. He
changed his mind when the request
followed for an order from him to per-
nit the scanning OF that record.
81 don't know whether I want to do
that" he said. "You know there are
some arrests and places the records
would show which the public is not
entitled to-"
Concerning the multiplicity of duties
foisted upon Costigan as inspector the
Police Commissioner professed to have
little information. If Costigan had
been called upon by the District At
torney to aid in Investigations Police
Commissioner Enright didn't know any
thing about it.

Ellen O'Crady and
Anna O'Hara No More
Use Same Automobile

1t used to be hard to find two closer
trends at headquarters than Fifth
Deputy Police Commissioner Ellen A
O'Grady and Anna O'Hara, executive
clerk of the department. Their friend
snip antedated their association in the
Follce Department. Miss O'Hara is
a a sister of Mayor Hylan's wife, and
MS CGrady's acquaintance with the
Mayors family is of long standing.
MISS MISS o:Hara mad her desk in Deputy
commissioner O'Grady's office at
headquarters. Frequently thew ar
rived at the big Centre Street build
ing in the same automobile, and as
often they started home in the same
car. Mrs. O'Grady called the depart
ments executive clerk "Anna" and
Miss O'Hara was equally familiar in
addressing the Fifth Deputy Police
Commissioner.
yesterday, with rumors flying as
timex and disconnectedly about the
building as the splotches in the imi-
tatlon marble panels in the corridors,
significance was attached to the APP
parent change in the relations be-
tween the Fifth Deputy Police Com
missioner and the executive clerk.
1t has been some time since the
two have been seen talking together
IN their former intimate fashion. They
no longer use the same AUTOMOBILES.
Miss O'Hara has moved her desk from
Mrs. O'Grady's office to that of the
secretary to the Police Commissioner,
Augustus Drum Porter, who has been
appointed Third Deputy Police Com
missioner to succeed John w. Golf. ir
At recent dinner which social
workers gave to the woman deputy
police commissioner, Miss O'Hara was
not present. Mrs. O'Grady and Miss
O'Hara pass each other in headouar-
ters corridors without so much as a
nod of recognition.

there are also secure preferred stocks
which are still being offered on an
8 or 10 per cent base. But as far as
you are concerned it must be consid-
cred that you probably want to be safe,
and don't want to make money
from quotations. Compared to bonds,
preferred stocks are like a second
mortgage to a first mortgage. while
common stocks are similar to the

His friends, however, charged Commits

advantage of the captain because the

Costigan answering the charges un-

Record Of Costigan
Sh0,vs More Arrests
Than Enright Admits

Police Commissioner Enright supple
mented his attack on Honest Dan"
Costigan by announcing that he did
not know what Costigan had accom-
rlished by spending 1862 of the city's
money while in command of the LIST
Inspection District
At the same time official police rec
ords were found which contradicted
Commissioner Enrght's statement that
he was prompted to denote Inspector
Costigan because the excrusader's
record in eliminating gambling was far
below that of any other inspector.
Mr.. Enright's statement, which was
embodied in a letter to Mayor Hylan,
said that Costigan during 1918 made
only forty-one arrests for gambling,
resulting in only five convictions, while
special squads from Headquarters over
Costigan's head made 316 arrests. The
Commissioner gave no figures on con-
victions.
Record of COstigan's Work
Here is the record of Costigan and
his staff disclosed yesterday:
Costigans vice squads arrests in the
First Inspection District from Jan
uary 1, 1918, to October %. 1918
lwhen Costiean was relieved by the
Commissioner of the work of super
vising the vice squad) 49,. ......... 296
Arrests made by the staff working under
Costigan as commander of the First
Inspection District (entirely separate
from the vice squad which operated
from Headquarters) from February !,
1918, to February 4, 1919 (when
Costigan demoted) ............ ,220
Total of arrests made by Costgan in
the First Inspection District $50. ,, 496
Total arrests made by special squads
Costigan's head (taken from
Commissioner Enrights letter. .... 316
Friends of ex-Inspector Costigan
point out that this record was made
when he could only give the First In
spection District part of his attention
during the period mentioned by Com
missioner Enrght, as he was respon-
sible for vice conditions throughout the
city and was directing confidential in
vestigations for District Attorney
Swami.
Arresting Crap Shooters
From several sources it was learned
that almost all of the cases which were
handled from Headquarters over Cos
tigan's head dealt with "crap shooting'
on the sidewalk, a "diversion' INDUCED

3 Killed, 2 Hurt,
AS Lelniggh Valley
Freight Is Wrecked
Engine Grew Caught Under
Debris When Cars Crash
Into Wall of Jersey City
Cemetery, Starting Fire

Three men were killed and two others
injured last night when a freight train
of the Lehigh Railroad jumped the
track in Jersey City.
The train of twenty-one cars, many
of them carrying coal, was running
along the West Shore Railroad at $3.50
o'clock and was thrown from the rails
while passing under the Pennsylvania
Railroad main line Immediately south Of
the Newark Avenue bridge. The loco
motive and eight cars crashed into q
stone wall of the Jersey City Cemetery
The dead, who were all on the en-
CINE at the time, are:
John Crochion, fifty years old, en-
gineer, who lived in the Greenville Sec
ton of Jersey City.
Edward Oheard, thirty five years old,
conductor, Jersey Avenue and Railroad
Avenue, Jersey City.
Thomas Hart, thirtyfve years old
brakeman, johnson Avenue and Mon
itor Street., Jersey City.
The two injured are Edward Paul
son, 227 Avenue B, Bayonne, fireman
of tn train, and Edward Duffy, of 81
Monitor Street, a member of the crew
The dead men up to late hour las
night were still beneath the ruins.
No explanation OF the cause of the
accident has been made by the author
ties. 1T is generally believed that il
was due to defective switch or {
spread rail.
When the locomotive struck the GENE
terry wall eight cars behind it tele
scoped and piled up to height O.
thirty feet. Fire broke out in the cars
and the tiremen, fearing an explosion
were kent from using q stream of waite
for some time.
An effort was made to rescue the
men caught beneath the wreck by cut
ting away the burning woodwork of the
cars. While this was going on Edward
Paulson in some manner extricatee
himself from the flaming heap ane
crawled to safety. He was not severed,
injured. The fire was extinguished two
hours later.

again that they would get him. It's the
same old mob that has been after him
for years. This is their golden oppor-
tunity, and they purpose to make the
most of it.
81 distinctly recall a threat made
when the Vice Squad raided the Wind
sor Club, Nanny Cohen's place in
Brooklyn, several years ago. 1t was
made to Costigan's face. Cohen's place
was known all over the city, and it
was said he threw the key away when
it opened up.
"Costigan was told he would never
get a conviction, for the proprietor was
said to be a relative of an official Of
this state, now holding public office.
But a conviction was obtained That
is one instance of hundreds which have

HOROSCOPE.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY rs, 1919.

Three stars augur good for hui
manity today, according to astrology.
| Uranus, the Sun and Mercury are all
in benefic aspect while Jupiter alone
is adverse.
The influences during this confGur-
alton should be favorable to ambi-
tions centering in the government. in
journalism and in strictly learned
professions.
! Again the planet supposed to stim-
uiate right thinking. when friendly.
! is in a place encouraging to har-
monious action on the part of ma
tions.
This should be a lucky rule under
which TO seek employment or promo
tion.
Those who apply for political posi-
tions should push their claims while
| this sway continues. There is a
| forecast of great competition and an
overwhelming desire to hold public
office
Advertising and publishing are sub
ject to the best possible direction. a
new poet will be recognized.
Gifts or favors bestowed during this
conaguration are supposed to be very
lucky
Mems love affairs should prosper
today, but the sway is not SO lucky
for the women they WOO.
Warning is given against impetuous
and ill-advised courtships. for the
stars still indicate that many unfor-
tunate romances are to be expected
in the coming year.
Schools and colleges have the fore
cast II supreme activities after a
period OF anxiety and perpleXity.
Education is subject to direction
making for practical training that
will insure the largest usefulness
The death Of a famous university
head has been indicated by the stars.
The policies of a leading American

Women should not withdraw from
the place in industry they have Won
through the war"
So says Miss Mary Van Kleeck.
director of the Woman in Industry
Service of the Department of La
Dor.
There seems to have arisen vide
spread belief that it is the patrlouc
duty of womnn war workers to give
up their work." she adds. This de
mand follows largely from the fear
of unemployment and of wage con-
petition between men and women.
But the solution OF this problem
of unemployment and lower wage
does not lie in the Withdrawal Of
women workers. They have the same
need and the same right to work as
men. The remedy lies in the follow
ing:
i, The united efforts Of all workers
! to obtain higher standards of hours
and pay.
80. The much wider use of collective
BARGAINING by both men and women
workers.
IS. The esta blishment of agencies to
adjust labor difficulties in which en-
poyers and cmploye will share full
responsibility.
-. The extension of the national
system of labor exchanges, to lessen
the fear Of unemployment
IS. Legislation for the eight hour
day for women and representation OF
women in administering labor laws"
Women workers, says Miss Van
Kleeck, demand not only the eight
hour day, but they want to be paid
on the basis of their occupation. and
not of their sex. Also. they demand
proper working conditions, and
hand in managing the shops and fac
tories where women are employed.
Many Of these reforms already are
represented in legislation pending be-
fore Congress. It is likely that all
phases of the labor situation will be
reviewed by Congress II the resolu-
ton introduced recently by Senator
Kenyon, providing for an investiga-
tion of labor conditions is passed. 1t
Is now in the hands of the committee
on education and labor.
Some of the subjects which will be
investigated under this resolution are:
Establishment of a national board
to review. differences between employ
ers and the workers.
Development of the L. S. employ
ment service OF the Department of
Labor into a Federal labor exchange,
with offices in every State.
