Any Attempt to Make Police
Enforce Prohibition Will

He Says at City Club

Raymond B. Fosdick, in an address
on "Police Methods Here and Abroad" :"
before the City Club, at So West Forty
fourth Street, last night, not only drew
comparisons between this city and
European cities. but compared the
present police and City Hall admins
trations with some that had gone be-
fore in New York and plainly told his
auditors that any cleanup must cx-
tend to the Mayors Office as we'll az to
the Police mmissione rship
1t is we'll to rem mber, Mr. Fosdick
said, after praising Colonel Arthur
Woods as the best qualified man in
police work in the country, that when
New York had a first class Police Com
missioner in Mr.. Woods it also had a
first class Mayor at the City Hall.
possibility for thorough going re-
form, he said. was up to the people.
Had Colonel Woods been allowed %
continue for ten years as Police Com
missioner, Mr.. Fosdick said, he would
have brought the New York police
have compared favorably with any in
Europe. Civil service regulations, he
declared, have done more to cripple
honest police administration in this
country than almost any other factor.
Commissioners Bingham and Woods,
he said, on account Of this law, could
not get rid Of crooks whom they kne Y
they had on the force.
Mr.. Fosdick declared that any at
tempt to make the police enforce the
national prohibition law would demor-
alize tie department. For this reason,
he said, Governor Mller's declaration
that he will hold the police commits
sponsible for the enforcement Of the
prohibition act is peculiarly unfor-
tunate."

be of a constructive character and of
considerable Importance. When their

impression was given that something

Time money. offered at 6ls per cent in

Is confined largely to renewals as the

the turn in the market. Certainly, at

many wire houses put out on their wires
predictions of strong close. After a
rather heavy demand from the short In
