Meyer Committee
To Resume Police
Inquiry Tomorrow
Brown and Assistants Spend
Sunday Investigating De-
partnens Activities To
Delve Into Honorary Jobs

Eion R. Brown, chief, counsel to the
Meyer legislative committee Investigate
ing New York City affairs, and engaged
at present in examining the conduct
and activities OF the Police Department,
was engaged yesterday with his as
1stants in preparing for the sessions
Of the committee that will be resumed
tomorrow.
While Mir. Brown was not ready to
make any addition to his statement Of
Saturday, in which he gave list Of
thirty special deputies and honorary
officials and professional men whose
public usefulness as volunteer members
OF the police force has long since
ceased. it is understood that the com
mittee viii pursue its police inquiries
without dclay
In his statement Of Saturday, Mr..
Brown suggested the possibility that
many of these special and honorary
officials, some OF whom represent great
wealth and influence in business affairs,
might be useful to the Police Depart
men- not so much in the citys welfare
as in supplying gratuities and favors.
When asked if this was to be the
liNe OF questioning 20 be pursued, OF
if these honorary policemen were to be
called to the witness" stand, Mr. Brown
begged to be excused FROM issuing q
forecast OF his plans.
Police Commissioner Enright has al
ready testified to having received
$4,000 from Allan A. Ryan as the pro
ceeds Of stock transaction IN which
the Commissioner put up no funds
whatever and to having received the
loan from John a. Harriss, another
special deputy, OF an auto-- obile fol
his personal use.
The publication of Mr.. Browns state
ment on this phase Of the police stu
alton is believed 20 be, nevertheless
the forerunner OF further testimony or
the other than police duty relations
between the Police Department and its
honorary attaches.

From, The Tribee's Washington Bureau


WASHINGTON, Oct. with no
prospect of enactment of permanent
tariff legislation for months a serious
effort is to be made Immediately to
have the emergency tariff rates con-
tinued, it was learned to-day The
movement comes principally from the
agricultural "bloc" in the Senate
Three of the members are to confer

OF the House, and they plan to develop

Protection members of both branches

ton that the Senate is involved IN one
Of the worst legislative muddles in
their energies into d determined de-
mand for at least a continuation of the
emergency act, Republican tariff of any
character may be entirely lost for many
months
The jam which is forcing this action,
it is declared, really jeopardizes to a
greater or less degree the Presidents
entire program. Lack of party dis
cipline and semi destruction of party
responsibility are the causes attributed,
but both, it Is pointed out, spring from
a single basic cause, and that Is the
direct primary.
The refusal of the legislative ma
chinery to function is due to Senate
and, possibly to greater degree. a
House composed of individuals rather
than members of parties The direct
primary has put great many men in
Congress who have not had the slight
est experience in aw-making On vital
questions affecting the entire country
they vote with one eye on the next
Congressional election and with no
thought OF tho party discipline that
alone can bring success to any legisla-
tive program.

The extent to which the lack of

to come to the rescue of the hospitals.
Last month the few faithful surgical

their wartime efforts. made over
1900 dressings for this purpose. but
this is not enough" said Miss Board

Red Cross, in commenting on the fact
that the nurses have not sufficient
time. both 20 manufacture dressings
and care properly for the sick.
will not the women whose war
service taught them how to make
these dressings return to the chapter
for this necessary work for our home

their help now as it did during the
war, and we cannot be deaf to such
an appeal to the skillful hands that
gave their services in the past. If
there are other women willing to

also will be welcome.
