ALBANY GUNS TURN
ON POLICE DUGOUTS
records Pour In OH Investiga-
tors After a Talk With
'Enright.
IONEY LEAKS SOUGHT
The McManus Probably viii
Be Witness i'm Probe on
City Markets.

Police records poured into the offices Of
the Legislative investigating committee
yesterday and the staff OF accountants
and experts dove into the stacks of doc
, uments in search for information which
! they will present to the public within
{ few days. when sessions begin in City
Hall
The committee now has its investiSa-
tors in practically every city department
hunting for waste or worse. The entire
Hylan administration, including all its
activities and all its expenditures. is
under the closest scrutiny, but the COM
mittee is continuing its policy OF not
giving out the evidence of maladminis-
tration found until the cases are COM
pleted. The entire staff Of trained In
vestigators who turned up all the evil
dence on which the Lockwood committee
proceeded has been transferred to the
Meyer committee.
Leaks are being found in dozens Of
places in the municipal government, it Is
said, through which public funds have
been dripping away for three years. The
purpose of the inquiry is not only to ex-
pose and stop these leaks, but to propose
q remodelling of the city government so
that such waste will be impossible in the
future.
While the investigation centres on the
Police Department, that is only one i'm
portant phase of the inquiry. The States
agents have been blocked in their exam
ination of the police affairs for nearly
two weeks as result of the obstructive
methods followed by the. Police Com
missioner and his subordinates.
With complete change in front at
Police Headquarters following the Com
missoners appearance before the COM
mittee on Monday, rapid progress was
made yesterday in checking up accounts
handled by the police. The Investigators
knew exactly where to go for facts.
Within an hour after Mr.. Enright had
left the committees Office at No. 80 Park
Row police records which had been un-
der subpoena for two weeks and which
the examiners had been unable to reach
began to arrive. Nearly wagon load
more of books and documents were de-
livered in the forenoon and Senator
Meyer said he was pleased with the
changed attitude at Police Headquarters.
