The Globe Says
Murder Arrests
Were Fruitless
Declares That in Only Four
of Fifsy-iwo Cases Men,
Iioned by Police Head
Did Conviction Result

The Globe, in commenting editorially
yesterday on the reply which Commits
sioner Richard Z. Enright made to The
Tribune's criticism Of thc Police De-
partnlent, says that, according to his
own figures, -arrests resulting in con-
victions have been made in only four
Of the flty=two eases in which the
Police Commissiner challenged the ac-
curacy OF The Tribune The Globe
reaches the conclusion that the record
Of more than 100 unsolved murders
SINCE January must stand "if punish
ment is the test of solution" The ed
itorial follows, in part:
, Apparently New York is not becom-
ing the headquarters for criminals
IRON other parts OF the United States.
1t IS simply maintaining its normal
habits Of wickedness. If Mr. Enright
has encouraged special crime wave it
has yet to assume spectacular proper
tions.
This is something in his favor. Af-
ter all, however, crime waves are ant
to follow any extended laxity sr in
efficiency on the part of police force,
and judgment on Mr.. Enrght must be
based, not on his record for tabulating
crimes, but on his success in punish
ing criminals. The portion Of the Po-
lice Commissioners statement which
deals with arrests and convictions is
not satisfactory.
"He challenges in iifty-two instances
the charges OF inetfcctiveness made
against his department. An analysis
OF his rather voluminius rebuttal, how
ever, shows that in only four cases
rave the police made arrests leading
to conviction, while not more than a
dozen promises of conviction seem to
exist. Arrests have been made-in one
case as many as ten-but they have
produced no results
"The accusation that there have been
over a hundred unsolved murders il
New York during 1920 seems to stand
II punishment is the test Of solution
Commissioner Enright cannot feel
pleasure in contrasting his own record
with that of the Philadelphia Police
Department, which is reported to have
solved 50 per cent Of the murders fall
ing under It's jurisdiction.'

Leaders Opposing
Robinson Inquiry
Into Hylan Rule
investigation by Legislators
Might Tangle Work of
Lockwood Committee and
End in Mix-Up, 1t Is Feared

Senator Theodore Douglas Robinson
is meeting with opposition from or
ganization leaders in his proposal to
start a Legislative investigation of the
Hylan administration. The main OBJ
lection seems to be that the Herkimer
County Senator did not wait until he
had consulted the organization leaders
before announcing his plans.
The Senator has not abated his de-
termination to go through with an in
quiry of the Hylan administration, but
up to date he has not met with much
encouragement from George A. Glynn,
chairman of the state committee; Sam
uel S. Koenig, the New York county
presidents; Jacob A. Livingston, ot
Brooklyn, and other leaders.
The leaders take the position that
the scope of the work of the Lockwood
Housing Committee has not been deter
mined AS yet, and that il may seem best
after January | to extend the powe rs
of the Lockwood Committee, and thus
have the benefit Of the services Of Sam
uel Untermyer as counsel. Some of the
leaders assert that new committee
would cross the trial Of the Lockwood
committee; that jealousies would be en-
gendered by the operation of two COM
mittees Investigating New York City
affairs. and that there would be a
smash-up. with Hylan coming out Of it
in better shape than when he went in.
Senator Robinson called on State
Chairman Glynn at state committee
headquarters yesterday and tried to get
some light on where he would come out
If he introduced a resolution for an i'll
vestigating committee. Chairman Glynn
told him that until the Legislature had
assembled and until the leaders from
around the state had had an oppor-
tCnity to talk the matter over, no one
was IN position to say what should be
