Aldermen Contend City Can't

for 769 More Men.
CASE TO COME UP AGAIN
Leach Pleads for Enright. to
Whom Allyn Lays Crime
Hysteria Here.

In the face of a personal appeal
from John A. Leach, Deputy Police
Commissioner representing Commits
sioner Enright, the Board Of Aldermen
refused yesterday to authorize the is
suance of s1,36o.361 in special revenue
bonds to pay the first years salaries
of the 76y additional patrolmen au-
thorized by the Board of Estimate last
week TO cope with the crime situation
The Police Commissioner therefore
finds himself in position of being able
TO finance the training of only the 500
new pstrolmen authorized and pro-
vided for in the 1921 budget.
After the Tammany side OF the Alder
manic chamber had failed to muster the
fifty-flve votes necessary to authorize the
bonds, Alderman William T. Collins
Democratic leader moved successfully
for reconsideration of the bond proposal
az the next meeting of tho Board Thai
motion carried over the objections OF
President La Guardia. The Socialists
united with the Republicans and defeated
the bond question by Al to 20.
Commissioner Leach argued that the
August Grand Jury had recommended
$500 more men for the police force.
Whether the crime in this city is due
20 hysteria and fear in the public mind
ne said. "is question, but we want
these men. The present state of public
opinion Is such that If crime is COM
mitted in hotel or a store the public
thinks we ought to. be able to control
that"
The Deputy Commissioner outlined
the measures Enright has taken to meet
the situation.
Alderman Robert Starr Allyn Repub-
lican. In voting against the resolution,
declared that it is Commissioner Enright
who Is hystericai and not the public and
expressed the opinion that Bnright
wanted more patrolmen TO quiet his
nerves. He said Enright is responsible
for the present state Of affairs and
ought to be removed.
Henry II. Curran, President Of the
Borough Of Manhattan, pleaded for more
men.
I'm my neighborhood." he said two
or three serious crimes occurred In a
short time. and my neighbors do not
look on II as hysteria"
Opposition to the resolution was based
on the argument that the city is not in
financial position to spare the money
and that. while additional patrolmen
may be needed. the real fault Is not IN
the rank and file but in the head OF the
Police Department.

Nearing Forty-ffth Year in Lower House, "Unce joe
Sets Heart on Passing Gladstone's Mark

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-"Uncle Joe
Cannon, war horse Of the House of
Representatives, to-day established an
American record.
With the close of dull House ses-
sion he passed the mark for length OF
service, set by Justin Smith Morrill, OF
Vermont, who as Senator and Repre-
sentative served In Congress 43 years,
months and "a days. The former
Speaker will begin tomorrow adding
new time to his own record, with the
hope of reaching the ripe old age OF

SO years in the British House Of Com
mons.

celebrated in the House tomorrow,
with Champ Clark, himself veteran,
who retires March 4. leading the
speaking ceremonies. Mr.. Cannon also
will speak, and many Of the older

marks.
Walking about the corridors Of the
Capitol to-day chewing his long black
cigar, Mr.. Cannon told a friend there

younger Representatives, because

Bail Raised to $15O,0O0
for Dangerous Criminal

GEORGE L. KING, who is said
to have confessed to Harry
E. Lewis, District Attorney Of
Kings county, that he planned
the robbery of the home of
Henry Fettel in Flatbush, at
which jewelry valued at $4,000
was stolen, was arraigned yes
terday before Judge Haskell in
the County Court, Brooklyn, and
his bail was increased from
100000 to $150,000. This is
said to be one of the largest bail
bonds ever asked in Kings
county. 1t sets a new record for
bail demanded in New York in
the present crime wave.
Mr.. Lewis, who described King
as zone Of the most dangerous
criminals of the country" said
the police expected to fasten
other recent crimes on him. He
was arraigned on three indict-
ments, one charging robbery,
larceny and assault, another vio-
lation of the Sullivan law and
the third assault for the attack
on Mr.. Fettels maid during the
holdup.
