Alderman Says Enright Is
Playing Cheap Politics.
and Seeks to Disrupt
the Police Department
Morris's Demotion Cited
Cases of Two Inspectors
Taken as Signs Honest
Officers Are Not Wanted

Characterizing the many changes
made in the Police Department y
Commissioner Enright as CHEAP poli-
tics" Alderman William F. Quinn yes
terday issued statement in which he
charged that disruption of the police
force is sought by the present city
administration so the city can be
thrown wide open" after the signing
of peace.
The motive for the attack was in
spired by the demotion of Frank j.
Morris from police inspector to cap
tain. This action and the dcmotion of
Daniel f. ('Honest Dan") Costigan, he
said, caused the impression that the
department. was being reorganized to
serve the wishes of Mayor Hylan and
Commissioner Enright rather than the
public interest.
"The reduction of Inspector Morris
to the rank of captain is another in
stance of cheap politics now being
practised in the Police Department by
Commissioner Enright and Mayor Nv
lam" said Mr.. Quinn.
presumably Inspector Morris, like
Inspector Costigan, does not fit in with
the new political police status which
New-York tribune., 1919-03-29

Mayor Hylan, together with his rela-
tlves IN this department and Commits
ssoner Enright, intends to establish. II
IS. indeed, lamentable that a city like
New York should have to submit to
such lack of appreciation of good SER
vices rendered by men like former In
spector Costlgan and former Inspector
Morris"
Mayor Hylan recently sent a letter
TO- Commissioner Enright congratulate
ing him on the efficient manner in
which the police were wiping out the
so-called white light district" He
asserted then that Alderman Quinn S
district was included in the area, but
the Alderman denied this. Mr.. Quinn
pointed out yesterday that the Mayor
Hearst is resident OF the Alderm an s
district.
Referring again to the Mayor, he
said he regarded him as one who
",stoops to such puny spite work as
his insult to Mr.. Beck. no doubt at
the instigation of his political creator,
William Randolph Hearst, at the Met
ropolitan Opera House during the
exercises to honor Caruso.
"The impression is fast going broad
cast" he went on, that Mr.. Hylan and
his Police Commissioner are getting
ready for wide-open town as soon as
peace is declared. 1t is significant that
the Police Department is being con-
veniently organized so that other
forms of vice and crime will flourish
to take the place of the corner saloon
or possibly prohibition will be winked
at, and the Mayor and the Police Com
missioner intend to have subordinates
that viii be obedient and serve their
desires and wishes rather than the
public interest.
"Inspector Morris and Inspector
Costigan are not that type, and there
fore had to be put where they could do
the least harm and not interfere with
the contemplated programme. What
else can these unwarranted and unex-
planned reductions in rank of officers
that have been SO satisfactory to many
administrations previous to this one
mean?
at isn't possible that Commissioner
Enrght expects the public to imagine
that he is such a superior judge of
police officers that the good men in
the Woods regime re not good enough
for his administration of the depart
ment The Woods administration was
admitted to be the best New York has
ever had"

Reopening of Newsprint
Costs Inquiry Refused
Publishers Say Production Has
Cheapened Since Maximum
Price Agreement

WASHINGTON. March 2s.-The
Federal Trade Commission late to-day
denied the application Of newspaper
publishing interests for a reopening of
the commissions investigation of
newsprint paper costs and prices.
While holding that it might have
the right to reopen the matter, til e
commission announced that it was
without funds to conduct an inquiry
into costs and that it could not incur
the necessary expenditures without
authority from Congress.
The publishers representatives asked
for the reopening on the ground that
there had been a decrease in produc-
ton costs since maximum prices were
fixed in agreement with the comrnis,
sion last summer. Former Attorney
General Wickersham, appearing for the
publishers on March 21, declared this
already had been proven by investiga-
ton in Canada
Henry A. Wise, counsel For the
manufacturers, argued that the agree
ment could not be changed and that
the commission had information con-
corning the Canadian companies before
reaching its original decision.

Armour and Company occupy in
the world of human needs and
the manner in which they full
fill their function.
We are putting our case
squarely up to all parties who
are interested-to producer,
merchant, consumer and labor
and that each may realize
how our obligations to him
must combine with our respon-
sibilities to the other involved,
we let all know the entire story
as we tell it to the rest. We
tell consumers what we say to
the producers-producers what
we say to consumers.
When all is said, however,
the size of any business deal
ing comparatively in staples
must remain the best evidence
of its economic soundness. If
our methods we're not sound,
Armour and Company could not
have attained size in proper
ton to national needs.
Bearing this thought in
mind, you will readily appre-
ciate that your own self-inter-
est and your right to fullest
value for your money both
urge that you always ask your
dealer for Armour Products.
