FOUR HEADED BOARD
FOR POLICE ADVISED
Brooklyn Merchants Favor Re-
turn of Old System Instead
of a Commissioner.

The Fulton Street (Brooklyn) Board
OF Trade. after an investigation Of the
Police Department. recommended yes
terday that instead of a single Commits
sioner at the head OF the force. as now
exemplifed in the regime OF Commits
sloner Enright bipartisan board Of
four members should be appointed and
the old offices OF Grief of Police. Dep
uty Chief and superintendent of the de-
tective bureau shoIld be revived. The
board made the following ten sugges-
tions
I. The postponement indefinitely OF
the annual police parade. so that the
city may depend on a full force for its
protection.
2. Plainclothes men to be posted al
all railroad terminals and ferries to
watch all incoming passengers and sec
to 1t that suspicious characters are
shipped out OF town.
8. Criminals and ex-convicts to be
picked up OH sight locked up for the
night, taken before the lineup and
then set loose IF found on the streets
next day to be picked up once more.
4. The patrol sergeant should not
leave the station house at the same
time. but at different times, as under
the present system the men know ex-
actly when to expect him. The ser
geant should be followed by the l,cu-
tenant and as often as possible The
captain should make the rounds.
5. Prompt reward iii the form OF pro-
motion for policemen who perform
heroic service In the saving OF life and
property.
s. Abolish the fiivver patrol system.
z. a return to the old system OF a
chief of police, a deputy Chief Of police
and a superintendent in charge of the
detective bureau.
S. A four headed bipartisan police
board instead OF a Commissioner and
deputies.
Q. Ii more men are required the men
who are receiving pensions should be
called on to return and help the regular
force.
10. The board to appoint committee
10 discuss and consi7cr the suggestions
and to cooperate with other civic organ
izations and citv offlceis.

House Is Worried About
Secret Fund for Hughes

Special Dispatcl. to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. g.. April 10.
w yHAT use has the State De-
w partment. in this day OF
open diplomacy" for Sc
cret fund OF $433.000?
This Is what House members
want TO know. The State Depart
ment estimates called for such
fund. and the House cut it to
100000. thinking that was enough.
The Senate promptly restored the
original sum and now the House
and Senate will fight it out.
A great deal of this fund, 1t is un-
derstood. will be expended In getting
inside information of what is going
on In Russia and in the Far East.
But every capital in Europe has
to be watched and just how the
State Department gets its secret
information Is something the pub
lie will have to worry along with
out knowing.
