It was a question of decency, of right living, of good morals, of conscience. What caused this state of affairs? That is not easy to answer. I should not say that the great size of New York was the sole fac- tor in the grcwth of this octopus, this can- cer, that had eaten into the body politic. It was an element, though not the chief ingredient. The power behind the police department was not, as I consider it, a ponte party. It was not democratic. it was opposed to every principle of our form of government, to every principle of good rule, good citizenship. It was an excrescence upon the city, I might say upon the political party whose name it bore, and, I am sorry to say, it has dis- honored. Such a growth might have come upon the republican party as well as upon the democratic. It was simply the last and most cruel stege of centralized power. “As an illustration of the tremendous power wielded by this organization, I will refer to the difficulty we had in obtaining witnesses to go upon the stand and swear to facts that they had brought to us in private. At first this applied to all classes, both reputable and disreputable. When ap- pealed to they would claim that if they should testify the police would hound them out of the city. When asked if they couldn’t go elsewhere and establish them- selves in business, they would reply that the persecution of the police of New York would follow them to every city in the country, and we gradually revealed the astounding fact that the police of New York dominated not only that city, but every large community in the country. Can you not understand how this would be? New York, as the main seaport of America, and the principal outlet to Eu- rope, is the Mecca of every fleeing crim- inal. Its great size makes it safer to the hiding man than the forests of Virginia. Therefore, when a prisoner is wanted, bank cashier, burglar, pickpocket or murderer, the first act of the chief of police of any city is to telegraph to the chief of police of New York. If there be no reciprocity between them, no aid is given. The New York police have four-fifths of the favors to grant and but one-fifth to receive in the catching of criminals. A refusal to aid hurts the lesser official, and he readily agrees to a system of sympathetic co-oper- ation that enables the police of New York to follow black-listed persons from town to town and prevent their obtaining a liveli- hood anywhere. Worse Than St. Petersburg. “You may be surprised when I say that New York, under the rule of the police de- partment as it was controlled by Tammany / Hell, was far worse as regards the in- dividual comfort of citizens than St. Peters- burg under its most violent police regime. This was accidentally iMustrated by a wit- ness who took the stand one day. He was a Pole who had been sent to Siberia as a result of the Polish insurrection. He had escaped and reached this country, and about a year after his arrival he was un- dustly arrested and cruelly beaten. His story was told with an irresistible quaint- ness and pathos. I cannot reproduce it to you, ss I have not the power to imitate his peculiar dialect and his earnest manner, that convinced everybody. But when he was asked how the police of New York compared with those of St. Petersburg, he answered that the Russian police are gen- tle and humane compared with those of our city. Instances of the brutality -were to be had on every hand, and I recall that we had on the stand one day a policeman six feet four inches in height and beside him stood his victim, a man barely five feet four inches, who had been clubbed into insensibility for practically no cause whatever. I make no exaggeration when I say that New York under the police de- partment as formerly existing suffered what was practically a reign of terror un- equaled in history and I hope never to be approached again, The Police Captain Supreme. “The lower classes of citizens were made to believe that this blackmail was lawful and regular. They came to consider the captain of their precinct as the source of all municipal authority. In effect, he was such to them. This was illustrated by the introduction cf the word ‘pantata’ into our language. Naturally enough the blackmail began with the criminal classes—the peo- ple whose lines of life, and whose avoca- tions made them ——, susceptible to police extortion. Yet they demanded their pound of flesh from the police and received full value for their money. Still the public did very wrong in refusing to sympathize with these people who were thus oppressed and forced to contribute illegally to the police. It was most nutural for the com- fortable citizen to argue that it mattered not to the community that the criminals should be imposed upon, that they deserved their treatment. But this was a short- sighted policy; the people did not stop to think that an illegal act is dangerous to the well-being of a community, whoever may be its object; that an illegal act prac- Uced upon the criminal classes is as grave @ threat to the welfere of the city as en illegal act practiced upon the law-abiding citizen. They should have seen that it was but a step from extorting money from the pickpocket and the keeper of a house of ill- fame and a violator of the excise law to the levying ef blackmail upon merchant: 1t was the entering wedge that ultimately opened the way to the police squeezing ail the people without discrimination. From the unlawful tax upon the bawdy house came the demand of the policemen for a fee whenever @ man threw an awning across the sidewalk on the occasion of the marriage of his daughter, Popular Conscience to Be Roused, “The remedy? Arcuse the conscience of the people. Make them think. Make them realize that this growth upon the comiaun- ity ultimately means death to one or the other. The laws are all right today in the city of New Yerk. The fault is with their enforcement by their guardians. The ma- chinery of the courts is all right; the trouble is with the personnel, but further than that, with the people themselves, who heretofore were not sufficieatly shocked by acts of flagrant injustice,to arouse them- selves to efticacious protest. It was not sufficient for a woman whose resort of shame had been closed during the Park- hurst raids to be ordered by the police captain of her precinct to open again after the excitement had pessed. It ditt not sutti- ciently shock the public morals that she, refusing to obey, in order that the police blackmail fund might be increased, was arrested for her refusal to violate the law and thrown into prison. It did not suffice that she, being unable to furnish bail, was forgotten in the Tombs, and would have remained there perhaps until her death awaiting trial because no one took interest in her case, had not our cominittee begun work. I can liken New York to nothing so aptly as a vast army poaring in hasty retreat along a narrow road. Thousands ere pressing on, and if a man should fall by the way, or a hundred should go dewn, no one would stop to pick them up. It is a race for self-preservation, an intense, all- absorbing, frantic struggle for existence. “The great complexity of interests has aided in the creation of this great black- mailing scheme. The organization, strong already, has never lost an opportunity, however small, to strengthen its machinery, to fasten its claws deeper into the body of the city. I can give you a sample illustra- tion of this. We demonstrated the fact that the keeper of a house of bad resort received orders the day before an election held two years ago that if Tammany should win she should on the following day ftick a broom out of every window in her house, symbolical of victory. Tammany won, and with the obedience that she could not avoid, the woman not only thrust a broom from every window, but decoruted each one with ribbons. In’ this way were these unfortunate people, who were thoroughly under the domination of the police, forced to contribute to a false sentiment that, to the unthinking, meant a popular jubilee over the victory of the dominant party. The Power is Crushed. “You ask me if I think this power ts now crushed. I do, most emphatically. I think that the public conscience having once been aroused, the machinery of this nau- seous system exposed, will be a perpetual bar against the development of such an organization in the future. I consider the great danger to our form of government Nes in the possibtlity of municipal mis- rule. The tendency is too strongly toward the growth of the urban community at the expense of the rural. This feeds the ma- chine that, if not watched and checked, will grow to such corrupting influence as that which we have just destroyed in New York. Centralization, 1 believe, as this in- vestigation has proved, isi the danger of the day. I believe that the example of New York, which has been Yecetved in every city in the land, will serve to check this tendency toward corruption and police domination. “Will these police extortions be resumed after the committee adjourns? This qu tion has confronted us and we have con- sidered it carefully. I am firmly of the opinion that it will not, that we have ef- fectually crushed the power that is behind it. I will liken the ty of New York to the banks of the lower Mississipp!, which are at times overflowed by the high waters, forming large bayous separated from the living stream after the floods have sub- sided, The water thus captured by the land grows stagnant. Crocodiles make it their home and rank growths of vegeta: tion spring up. The pools become mias- matic, poisonous, a fester on the earth. ‘The conditions of the atmosphere grow worse and threaten finally the lives of the neighboring populace. At last there coines again a flood and the waters of these stagnant bayous are purified and the rank growth and terrible inhabitants are swept away. The banks have been flushed. New York is Flushed. “So, New York has now been flushed by @ flood of pure sentiment, and the stag- nant pool of corruption, the miasmatic ma- chinery and power of centralized power have been swept away. “I cannot speak too highly of the compo- sition of the committee which employed me as its counsel. Though appointel by a republican senate and containing a ma- jority of the members of that body, these men have acted throughout the investiga- tion like non-partisans, and they have up- held the counsel in every move that has promised to demonstrate the problem that confronted us. It mattered not whether a republican or democrat was hurt. The committee was after the truth, and the truth was obtained. In such an investiga- tion politics can have no part. If you awake in the night and find a burglar in your house, and corner him with your re- volver, you do not spare him upon his plea that he is a democrat like vou. If you detect a thief with his hand tn your pocket you do not look to the policeman whom you have called to release him be- cause he claims to be a good republican. “Until the office of recorder was given to me by the people of New York I had never been a candidate for an elective office with- in the gift of the people. At one time I sought and secured appointment as assist- ant district attorney, and the salary of that lace has been the only public money that I ve ever drawn. I earned it well, for I tried every murder case that appeared in court during my term. The Coming Sessions. “I cannot answer the question as to where the blackmail money went or in what proportions it was distributed, for that is a personal matter, which would force me to mention names. Nor can I tell you just what lines the committee will take upon the resumption of its work a week from next Monday. There are gtill many points to investigate and a great deal of rounding up—finishing off, as it wee. Go up higher? I cauanot say. We will try to finish the work by the lst of January. Then I shall be obliged to leave the com- mittee to assume the duties of my office. The committee will probably report to the legislature soon after the session begins on the 15th of January, and they may then ask for an extension. As to that I cannot “°F nave worked hard in the interests of good government, in the interests of g00d morals, and, I can say truthfully, not with hope of reward. That I have been reward- ed fs, of course, fortunate for me. I was employed as counsel for my client, the committee, and I did my best to protect my client’s interests. The people, the hon- est, high-principled people of New York, were our judges, and, thank God, their verdict was an honest one. It was uot a hung jury.” ————_+-2+—___—_ ATROCITIES IN ARMENIA. J The Recent Reports Claimed to Be Not Exaggerated. An Armenian resident of Baltimore, who is a graduate of an American college in Armenia and was formerly a student at the Johns Hopkins University, believes that the most: recent atrocities in his native country have been underestimated rather than exaggerated in the reports. “The whole truth of the Turkish oppres- sion of Armenia will never be told,” he id yesterday to a Baltimore Sun reporter. “Turkey’s government is, at best, an or- garized band of barbarian robbers. From the sultan to the most insignificant official the same spirit prevails, and, even though nations near by improve and advance, Turkey will not change a jot in a cen- tury. “The Armenian is a much better spect- men of a man than the Turk. In later years many missionary colleges have been established in our country and their tn- fluence for good has been widespread. “History bears no record of a people with a more wretched lot than our un- fortunate race. “We must take a blow from a Turk with- out returning it. We must be scourged and imprisoned without making an out- cry or craving a hearing. We must even stand by and see our wives insulted and our children murdered. “All these indignities we must accept from a nation that is a blot upon the map of Europe because, though other civilized countries pity our plight and are ready to help us, each dares not do so for fear of precipitating a war with some other great power. “Russia would come to our aid, but fears England, and Germany would help us but for France. Thus the civilized world has tied its hands and looks on passively at atrocious barbarism. “It is not permitted for an Armenian to carry a weapon in his own country, not even a penknife. He is made to get down upon all fours and carry a Turk upon his back like a horse. No indignity is too great to be heaped upon him. “For years our race has stood this with- out resisting, but now civilization has de- veloped a manhood in Armenia that the Turk knows nothing of, and the inevit: ble protest results in the inevitable butch- eries and massacres, “Many of the Armenians in this country are influential citizens and are ready to speak, did they not fear for the safety of their relatives in Armenia. Any state- ment they might make derogatory to the Turkish government would be used against their families there. That is the reason why I prefer not to have my name given in this connection. “It is my opinion that some organized agitation should be started in the United States against the continuance of Turki outrages. Then the United States govern- ment and, through it, the European pow- ers, might be induced to intercede. Until they do we can hope for no cessation of the atrocities, and unless they do so soon Turkey will have succeeded in blotting the Je nation off the face of the earth.” : ——-+e+ DR.
