Candidate, HI e ads
Lieutenants' Club
Horton Eulogized in Resolu-
tions, Although Slain Off
Ger Was Blackballed for
Obeying Woods's Order

Lieutenant John H. Ayres, generally
regarded as the Enright candidate, was
elected president of the Police Lieu
tenants Association yesterday at a
meeting held at the Police Club, on
Riverside Drive. He got 270 votes to
the l68 given to Lieutenant Thomas P.
Cummings.
Both he and Cummings asserted that
the wishes Of Police Commissioner
Enrlght were not the issue and that
SO far as they knew he had no interest
in the election. Ayres, who is acting
captain in cnaTGe OF the Missing
Persons Bureau, was one OF the first
men Commissioner Enright transferred d
to Headquarters, however, and Cum
which opposed the Enright police bills
at Albany.
After the election there vas an in
formal meeting at which resolutions
euloglzlng Lieutenant Floyd Horton,
who was shot and killed early yester-
day in the performance Of his duty,
we're adopted. Lieutenant Horton was
cne Of the few men ever black balled BY
the association. When he applied for
mem bership the members sent out and
got e. ballot box at cost OF 1915. al
though previously such elections had
been conducted without one, and when
the box was opened after the vote il
was found that Lieutenant Horton had
/ been rejected.
Lieutenant Ayres said last night
that the action of the association was
no reflection upon Lieutenant Horizons
honor as man" 1t was said that
the grudge which the association bore
him was that he had obeyed an order
given him by Police COMMISSIONS
Woods TO Investigate the activities Of
the association.
A resolution was introduced BY Lieu
tenant Francis j. Finn expressing ap-
proval of Commissioner Enright's po-
lice hospital project. There were 3

goods should be cheaper. 1t is a fact
that those dependent on the fishing in
dustry for a living must buy a large
percentage of imported foodstuifs. and
it was chiefly in order to help the f1sh
ing element meet the high cost OF NV
ing in this respect that an increase was
allowed in the price of raw hsh. Ii
is logical that now the prices of import
ed foodstuffs are reduced the warrant
for this increase declines accordingly.
1t is only too true that many things In
the dry goods and hardware lines are
still far above what they used TO De
worth, and this is particularly the case
where printing paper is concerned; be-
fore the war this article cost q cents
a pound, and today it is II cents, or more
than 600M dearer; but who would 1avor
a proportionate increase in subscription
rates? Notwithstanding what our cor
respondent writes, h3wever, it is stat
ed that those in the fishing business
declare they never made more money
than since the Food Commission liked
the current scale of prices. If such an
assertion can be made, public opinion
does not appear to be altogether wrong
in looking to the Food Commission to
take appropriate action now. In our
opinion it is not the prices OF tlsh alone
that call for reimbursement but dry
goods as well, and we are In the held
on that too, and intend TO give Vt our
strict attention in the very near future
as soon as certain necessary facts are
assembled.

In this issue there appears a letter
from Mr.. Tutein on the subject of
whether or not prices of raw fish should
be lowered. Of course, he, as a fisher
man, says they ought not to be reduced.
We decline TO be drawn into a war of
words, and would merely emphasize that
what was published in the Avis of the
18th inst, was based on public sentiment,
and if it becomes necessary 70 argue
the matter out, those interested should
