Calls Story an sExaggeration
Commissioner Says Originator of Rumor Tha,
Found Credence i'm Afternoon Must Have Been
Overlooked by Narcotic Squad

Police Commissioner Enright re-
signed again yesterday, according to
rumor. This particular rumor was not
so feeble as some Of Its predecessors,
and by noon it had flashed its way
across the front pages of number of
newspapers in ribbon" heads.
BY o'clock in the afternoon the
city throbbed with the tidings, and
even the uniformed members of the
department began to think it had some
foundation in fact.
In the octagonal and mirrored recep-
tion room reporter was received with
cold politeness by Lieutenant Buckley,
in command of. Mr.. Enright's first line
Of defense.
Did Lieutenant Buckley know whether
the Commissioner had resigned his
highly important position in the Hylan
administration?
Lieutenant Buckley, with the stole
features of Sitting Bull, did not, though
he would be glad to place the matter in
an official way before the Commits
sioner.
The reporter requested Lieutenant
Buckley to place the entire matter be-
fore the Commissioner.
The lieutenant futtered through the
winding passage leading to Mr. En-
rights Office and in few minutes re-
turned.
He said:

trians seemed to inspire the horse
with a desire to run faster.
Just before Sixteenth Street was
reached Artilleryman Koch displayed
unsuspected acrobatic gifts. The speed
ing car drew alongside the speeding
horse and the patrolman took a flying
leap from the running board and land
ed ,squarely on the animals back. Once
installed atop the horse, he shouted
"Whoa!" with the additional admoni-
tions of the mule skinner of muddy
France. The horse didn't stop and
seemed to be headed for the B. r. T.
subway kiosk at Broadway and Six
teenth Street. ~''
Koch began whaling the animal over
the head with his pightstick and a
hard blow over the fight eye brought
the animal to stoIA just in time to
prevent him from clattering down the
kiosk steps and boarding an uptown
train. With his mount subdued, the
patrolman drew the animal off the
sidewalk and looked about for the
driver.
When the driver. Lawrence Kerwin,
Of 416 West Twenty-ffth Street, ar
rived some minutes later he found a
somewhat disheveled policeman in the
center of a group of admiring people.
He also found docile horse and a de-
livery wagon somewhat warped and out
Of shape. Lawrence said he had gone
into store for some smokes and that
when he came out he found the horse
and wagon missing.

IA Hours

Last Monday morning The
Tribune revealed the existence of
Rule 184 of the Police Depart
ment, by which Police Commits
sioner Enright and Mayor Hylan
can virtually tap the wires of a
grand jury investigation. Rule
1874 reads:
Any member of the depart
ment summoned to the District
Attorneys office Of any county, m
connection acith q case in avhtch
ne or any other member of the
department IS apt to be made or
become a defendant, sUiu report
the facts IN detail at once to the
Police Commissioner"
Six days have passed Ia
hours - and thus far neither
Mayor Hylan nor Commissioner
Enright has'announced that Rule
1S4 has been rescinded despite ex-.
Governor Whitman's repeated re-
quest that it be abrogated.

Definite Move
To Disarm Is
Made i'm House
Resolution Calling on Will
son to Summon Inter-
national Conference Is
Reported by Committee
Insist Question Should Be
Left to Harding; Action
at This Session Doubted

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. - Definite
steps looking toward disarmament were
taken to-day by the House Foreign AT.
fairs Committee, which reported a reso
luton authorizing President Wilson tt
invite the nations of the world to senc
delegates to an international conven.
tion to consider ways and means Of
bringing it about.
Although all members Of the commit
tee voted for the proposal Democrats
objected to its adoption at this time
on the ground that it might embarrass
the President. They contended it was g
question which more properly should
be considered by President elect Har-
ding. Chairman Porter. warm advo-
cate of the movement, insisted, how
ever, that it was the desire to have
the resolution ready for Mr. Harding in
event Mr.. Wilson did not act on it.
Representative Brooks, Republican
of Illinois, author of the resolution
announced that efforts would be made
to expedite its consideration by the
House. There was no indication OF
any movement to get together with the
Senate, which has pending a resolution
by Senator Borah. Republican, ofiIdaho
providing for armament reduction by
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan, and resolution by Senator
Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, authoriz.
ing the President to appoint member
OF the disarmament commission of The
League of Nations.
Members of the committee frankly
expressed doubt whether the Brooks
resolution could ,be voted on at this
session owing to the heavy run Of an.
preparation legislation. Representa-
tive Flood, of Virginia, ranking Demo.
crat, said he saw no reason for the
the assumption that President Wilson
might ignore the direction and pass
the question on to Mr.. Harding. H
questioned the propriety of asking Mr.
Wilson to act on the eve Of leaving
office and after the League of Nations
Covenant providing for Joint disarma-
ment had been rejected by the United
States.
Without much discussion the COM
mittee defeated an amendment by
Representative Mason, Republican, OF
Illinois, stipulating that countries now
seeking their independence should be
invited to the conference, which would
be. held in this country. Mr.. Mason
said this would enable Ireland and the
Philippines to participate.
Mrs. Charles Edward Russell. of the
Woman's Peace Society, expressed the
view that the Borah resolution in the
Senate was too limited and might breed
suspicion in other nations. Chairman
Porter contended, also, that all nations
should participate in the conference
and endeavor to disarm.

"The Commissioner says that this
rumor~is very much exaggerated"
Does that mean that it is not so?''
asked the anxious reporter.
WELL" said Lieutenant Buckley,
without cracking the semblance of a
smile, 81 think the same reply was
made by Mark Twain when he was in
formed that he was dead.'
At City Hall the reporter was in
formed by Mayor Hylan that there was
absolutely nothing to the report"
reporter for an evening newspaper
is alleged to have discovered Commits
sioner Enright late in the afternoon
working out with an omelette au gratin
in a restaurant not far from Police
Headquarters.
To this reporter the Commissioner is
quoted as saying:
since 1918. In that time my resigna-
tion has been announced just ninety
times and my summary removal from
office at least sixty times. The truth
is that | may resign from office on some
wet Tuesday after a full moon or on
some Sunday during the week"
The Commissioner was then asked
whether he knew where the rumor of
his resignation originated.
TO the best of my knowledge and
belief" he is quoted as replying, 'it
came from some person who has been
overlooked by Dr. Carlton Simon"

MONTREAL, Jan. 15.-Major Robe rt
w. Grifliths, we'll known in military
and financial circles here, is in jail to-
night charged with the murder of Will
liam Holland, manager of McDougall
Bros, stock brokers, who was shot yes
terday at his Office shortly after the
closing of the Stock Exchange.
According to friends of the prison
er, Gliffiths had come to believe that
Holland had superior mind and was
dominating his by hypnotism. Seeking
to break Hollands supposed mental
mastery, Griffiths is said TO have tried
first to undermine his friends health,
and when he failed in this decided to
use force.
Griffiths has been under treatment at
different times in sanatoriums and it
was testified at the inquest that he had
been drinking heavily for several
weeks. Apparently subject to delus-
ions, Grifiths began to tell his friends
some weeks ago that he and Holland
had been conducting some hypnotic ex-
periments together and that the broker
had obtained power over him. Griffithe
insisted that under this dominating in
f1uence he found himself in a sort of
trance, which made him do strange
things.
Insomnia Experiment Failed
Gritfiths told his friends he believed
that his mind and Hollands were so
closely attuned that if he stayed awake
at night Holland could not go to
sleep either. Armed with this plan
Griffiths decided to break Hollands
grip by staying up all night and sleep
ing during the day. AS Holland had
to work during the day Griffiths felt
that he could soon ruin Hollands
health by preventing him from getting
enough sleep, and Griffiths hoped that
