J. J. Dunn, chancellor of the Diocese of New York, Father Willlam B. Farrell, Dr. D, C. Potter, Dean Potter and others had entered into a conspiracy against his administra- tion and had violated sections of the penal code. Mayor Mitchel said that the inves- tigation of the alleged crime had just been completed. He transmitted to District Attorney Swann a letter from Police Commissioner Woods saying that the evidence established that the crimes had been perjury, conspiracy to publish a criminal libel, criminal libel, and conspiracy to obstruct jus- tice and due administration of the laws. After receiving the letters and the evidence District Attorney Swann gaid: “I win take time to go carefully cver what the mayor has submitted before I decide what to do. Nothing will be done hastily and everything will be done in the open.” Mr. Swann would not explain his last statement, but it was taken to mean that he favored an inquiry by Chief Magistrate McAdoo similar to the action taken after charges had been made against Willlam J. Burns. Accused Welcome Inquiry. Alfred J. Talley, lawyer for Father Farrell, and others accused by the mayor visited the district. attarney later in the aftermoon. “I welcome the existing situation. Ii affords an opportunity of getting all the facts out. If the district at- tcrney proceeds with the matter, I expect that one indictment will re- sult—that of Mayor Mitchel.” Mayor Complains of Orimes. Mayor Mitchel’s letter to District Attorney Swann was as follows: June 14, 19186, Dear Sir: In the course of the in- vestigation of the State Board of Charities, conducted by Charles H. Strong, commissioner by appointment of the governor under the Moreland act, there were brought to my atten- tion and the attention of the police commissioner certain breeches of the criminal law. In the discharge of the duty im- posed upon him by law, the police commissioner, through the agency of his detective farce, undertook to secure the evidence of the commission of these crimes. That work has just been completed by the police depart- ment. Since these matters, together | with the detective methods employed by the police department for securing evidence, received a large amount of public attention, I directed the cem- missioner of police to transmit to me the entire record. This record I now wansmit to you, the prasecuting officer of this county, for official action. Permit me to draw your attention to the fact that two of the persons referred to in the evidence are priests of the Catholic church. I have been made well aware during the past two years and a half of a well organized and peristent effort to discredit the work of the commissioner of charities of this city in his efforts to secure rroper and humane care of the 22,000 dependent children committed to private charitable institutions, with the design of distracting atten- tian from the defects of physical plant and administration in some of these institutions, which were reflected in the deplorable condition of the city’s dependent wards housed therein. Humane Care of City’s Wards. The City government must insist upon value received in terms of care, nourishment, and proper living con- ditions in return for the public funds appropriated to private charitable in- stitutions. It is the moral as well as the legal duty of the officers of the City government to insist upon hu- mane care of the city’s wards. When men who are supposed to stand in the community for the principles of right, justice, religion, and obedience to the laws, out of a mistaken institu- tional zeal band themselves together to frustrate the due administration of those laws, going even to the lengths disclosed by the evidence herewith presented to you, a very ser- jous situation is created. It transcends in the importance of its effect and the significance of its scope the mere breach by individuals of provisions of the penal law. It touches a basic principle of American life—the reci- procal non-interference of church and state. Because the government of this city has found itself confronted by such a situation, and in the course of the discharge of its duties has de- veloped the evidence of specific breaches of the penal law, this re- cord is transmitted to you for action. Very truly yours, JOHN PURROY MITCHEL. ‘Woods Submits Evidence. Police Commissioner Woods’ letter to the mayor, which was indorsed to Mr. Swann, was as follows: June 8, 1916. Hon. John Purroy Mitchel, Mayor of New York, City Hall, N. Y.

Mgr. Dunn Welcomes Inquiry. the Mgr. J. J. Dunn, Chancellor of the diocese, characterized the letter of Mayor Mitchel last night as a manoeuvre to draw attention away from his position on wiretapping, and attacked the Mayor as attempting “‘to besmirch the characters of mnoble, obstruct justice | | self-sacrificing women and their work for the hapless orphan, conceived as a method of retaliation for the in- dictment of two of his subordinates.” OPEN NEW HOME. { Mr, and Mrs. Howard L.
