NEW YORK. September 1.-The
political scene in New York City as
depicted in the three most recent major
investigations by Samuel Seaoury is re-
vealed in a book published today, and
it leads william B. and John B. North
rop. the authors, to conclude that in
science of office" is no new thing.
"Insolence of Office" is the title under
which the Northrops hare presented
this resume of the magistrates courts
investigation, the inquiry into the dis
trict attorneys Office and the city-wide
investigation.
william B. Northrop, one OF the
authors. was assistant counsel in the
first two inquiries and associate ccun-
sci in the other. His brother and CO.
author, John B. Northrop, is a New
York lawyer. who for time was in the
Office Of Chief Justice Hughes.
Attitude Traced in History.
An "insolent attitude" CT ofice-
holders toward the general public has
had its counterpart throughout the his
tory OF organized government and
exists today. tie authors say, in our
Federal, State and municipal govern
ments, where, as in the earlier days.
a powerful and relentless political ma
chine has all the agencies of govern
ment in its grip.
The thing itself may be defined,
they add, "as the attitude which those
in power have toward help
less and machine-c public"

yelt.
Under the existing ordinances the
mayor could not run for reelection this
Fall If he were removed. but he could
Go so If he resigned. By taking the
matter out of the Governors hands, the
assumption is that the mayor can win

and so would large number Of voters

Clearly the Roosevelt managers do
not relish the opposite situation
namely, the removal Of Walker and the
resentment among his followers against
Roosevelt. which might cost the Coy

From the proceedings thus far it

Roosevelt partisans that the Governor

move the mayor. so that resignation
at this time would not in their Judg-

Indeed, it is suggested that the Gov

continued he would have removed the

statements are considered unwise, and
all that Mr.. Roosevelt needs to say is
that he regrets that the trial was not

hundred and twenty-five instructors,
divided between rs civilian and $50
naval officers, have been named, it was
learned today from Comdr. George l..
Weyler aide to the academy superin-
tendent.
All civilian instructors have been re-
tanned for the coming year. despite
the scare Of several months ago, when
cut in the academy appropriation
bill, brought about consideration OF the
dismissal Of several civilian instructors.
Regiment to Total 1,7S5.
In addition to the $50 naval officers
assigned to the academic department,
SO others are divided between the ex-
ecutive and administration depart
mentS.
The regiment for the coming year
will total l,785 All the plebes. or the
class of 1886, with the possible excep-
ton of two students, are on hand. The
class totals 333 members, one OF the
smallest on record. In 1915 the enter
ing plebe class included but $50 stu
dents, yet the following year 1t scared
to 625 students. Since the World
War the class Of 1924, which num-
bered 3o8 members. has alone been
below 400 pupils. Last year 421 gradu-
ated and $50 gained commissions.
There are 447 midshipmen in the class
to be graduated in June, 1888.
It was learned from Comdr. Weyler
that $50 applicants passed examina-
tions and became eligible to enter the
academy this. Fall, but the passing
group was not distributed right, two
or three passing for the same appoint
ment in several instances. Next year
the plebe class Is expected to exceed
400 despite the reduction In the num-
Der Of appointments allotted Congress
men and Senators.
Half to Get Commissions.
Under the law at least so per cent
of the class Of 1893 will receive COM
missions. If q greater percentage Is
commissioned. it will likely be at the
recommendation of the Secretary Of
the Navy and approved by the Presi-
dent. It seems that the number Of
surplus officers in the service will be
reduced to the set scale within a few
years, due to the reduction In appoint
mentS. However, Congress will have
to appropriate a fund for the surplus
the fext two years unless a portion Of
the classes of 1888 and 1884 are to be
denied commissions. Within short
time the academy student body Will be
less than $500.

NEW YORK, September 12.-Trussed
up in burlap bag. the body Of Gerardo
Scarpato, Coney Island cabaret owner,
was found yesterday in q large sedan
in the Windsor section Of Brooklyn

ster revenge.
The car had stood in the street since
Saturday morning and aroused the sus-
picion of residents. Scarpato had been
tied with ropes and apparently had
died from strangulation.
Brooklyn police recalled that Giuseppe
Masseria, Joe the Boss" had been
slain in April, 1881, and theorized that
his friends had made away with Scar
patio in the belief he was responsible.
Scarpato went to Italy three days after
the Masseria killing and returned
eight months ago in mortal fear Of his
life.
II may be the next" he told police
and took the precaution of having his
name tattoed on his arm so he would
not go to an anonymous grave. He
was As years old.
