 Drinking Evidence

New York, April IS. - Magistrate Joseph l.. Corrigan today told David Hirschfield, commissioner of accounts, from the bench that he was sur prised at the depths to which the po lice department had sunk" and that half of the cops are bootleggers.'
 Testifying at the investigation of charges flung against the police de- partment by the magistrate and by Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvillier, Mag istrate Corrigan enumerated instances reported to him of raids conducted without warrants, of police openly drinking much of the evidence and of bootleg liquor appearing in the neighborhood soon thereafter.

 There were 2S policemen in the raid and I am told that they drank about 75 bottles of liquor, breaking off the tops of the bottles. l am told that three or four hours later liquor was being sold in the neighborhood,"

Party MoguIs Holding Con. ferences in Washington, Getting Ready for 1924 Drive for the Electorate.

Washington, April 13.---A compre- hensive survey of the republican out look for 1924 has been made during the last few days in a series Of con ferences here involving most of the titular leaders of the party.
 Not only men and policies. but such questions as the state of the party treasury and the choice of 1914 con- vention city have had active con- sideration. No definite conclusions are announced, but the net result has ben to still further advance the sea- son of pre-convention activities all ready far ahead of the usual political calendar.
 Leaders in Conference.
 Thus far the conferees here have brought together such figures as Ma tional Chairman John T. Adams, just hack from trip abroad; National Treasurer Fred Upham of Chicago; several members of the cabinet and a number of senators who keep close connection with all matters of party policy. Within few days two former national chairmen, Charles D. lTlles of New York and Will H. Hays of Indiana. are expected to confer with others interested in the party's welfare in New York.
 Harvey Is Expected.
 Within few weeks Col. George Harvey, ambassador at London, is ex- pected to appear on the scene and if is the belief in political circles that he will be found willing to contribute some pertinent advices regarding both party policies and party organization in 1924. For long time he has been counted on as one of the main- stays of the pre-convention movement for the renomination of President Harding and although he has made l,o public statement, his name often has been coupled in political gossip here with the effort of the friends of MT. Hays to reinstate him as national chairman.

W. H. Anderson Tells Methodists Fair Inves- tigation Would Sustain Charges
If Conviction Is Not Ob- tained From Evidence Se- cured It Will Be Because of Deliberate Shielding

Bridgeport, April 13.-Any fair and competent investigation in New York city of the charges recently made in the New York legislature that the police are working hand in glove with the bootleg interests, will result in the, exposure of police officials and political leaders, declared William H. Anderson, state superintendent of the anti-saloon league of New York at a meeting of the New York East Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal church here today.
 Mir. Anderson, however asserted that the cry for an investigation was largely the result of Tammany sauabble which would result in the long run for the benefit of the en- forcement of prohibition. He said in part:
 Position of Crookedncss.
 T do not pretend to have any in- formation constituting legal evidence bearing on the charges that the head of the police department in New York is in league with the bootleg gers and profiting accordingly, but I
 
 moral certainty that there is an enor- nous amount of corrupt official com plicity with the criminal traffic in the city and that much corruption exists in the police department"
 After declaring that Police Com missioner Enright himself had said there was a certain amount of cor, ruption in his department, MT. An- derson concluded:
 Conviction Is Certain
 And if the investigation which these charges and this scandal have made it necessary to start do not pro-S duce a mass of evidence which is sufficient to result i'll the conviction not only of bootleg conspiracy but also of some police officials and the exposure of various officials and po- litical leaders it will be because the investigation is handicapped by gross incompetence or hamstrung by de- liberate purpose to shield the guilty"
