EX-MAYOR HEWITT HINTS AT IMPEACHMENT Police Thrive on Pap of Prostitution and Pillage. OFFICIAL CORRUPTION IN ALL ITS SHAME Great Meeting of Representative Men of All W Life Meid in Chamber of Commerce in An- swer to Bishop Potter's Call YORK, Nov. A gathering of men resulted from the call for a conference at the Chamber of Commerco toduy. The features of the meeting were the practical retirement of Bishop Potter from the front rank of the movement; an ddress by Abram 8. Hewitt, in which he sald that the responsibility for the pres- ent condition of affairs in New York City | rested upon the mayor, and favored the unanimous adoption of the following reso- lution: Resolved, That a committee of fifteen be appointed for the purpose of uttempting to & 1o account those responsiole for the sent condition ot affairs. Bishop Potter In a letter explaning his absence from the meeting, wrote as follows “I shall not be able, oWing (0 a trustee meeting, to attend the meeting at the Chamber of Commerce today, nor I think 1 ought to add, should I do'so it I were free. “The aim of such a meeting should be, primarily, to unify the forces on the side of law, decency, and the protection of the weak, in this community. But in such an effort an eccleslastic is not the instrument His particular afiiilations make him di tinctly not a persona grata to priests and ministers (and sometimes people) of other communions, with whom the odium, the ologicum is still a very active sentiment. The clergy may fitly exercise the pro- phetie office of rousiug, warning entreating, but in soclal and political movements their best service will be in the ranks, where, as in times of siress and sicge, they may patrol, mount guard, keep watch, but leave to others the task of generalship. “A8 to this, in the present emergency, I am quite cledr. New York wants a strong committee of three of five trusted to co-operate und co-ordinate forces, ment, purpose, and then, If we can maintain the present awakened sense of danger, the rest will almost accomplish itself.” Charles Stewart Smith presided over the meeting and in his opening address said: “It 18 humilitating, but it is true and ap- parent thai, in the police force certaln mem- | bers of it/are in collusion with the dens ot vice and” with ihe criminale of this eity. It is ulso clear that the proprioters of those dens of crime pay monthly sums to | the police force for protection.” Hewitt Tells of Rottennes: Abram 8. H in the course of an ‘llrhh'('k“, frequently futerrupted by applause, | satd: \ “Bishop Potter was called upon to ad- dress the mayor in terms unparalleled In | this city. The bishop's clarion call mot with reedy responscs. When the head of Tammany spoke it was the first confes- sion frem the governing power of the city that anything was wrong. “Two years ago reform was sent to h—1 by a leading eitizen of this city and thers it seems to have remained ever since. If it be vecalled now, it is because Tammany Hall thinks it has suffered purgatorial punishment long enough. “Tweed, when complaints were made, ed: ‘What are you going to do about Thht was a lesson to Tammany. “The limit of public abuse has been reached. Some of the men on the Tam- many committee are entitled to our sym- pathy, but more to our commiseration. 1t they do their duty they strike a fatal blow at Tammany, and if they do not they lose their standing in the community. “If there had been any sincerity on Mr. Croker's part the committee would never have been appointed. ““The responsibility for the conditions hera today belongs primarily to the police. In the last analysis if things go wrong the | responsibiity rests with the mayor.” Mr. Hewitt told how he treated fmmor- ality when he was mayor. I sent for Chief of Police Murray,” he 4, “and told him that it he could not close up evil resorts at least to cover them up. "l told him the places must be closed. T asked Chief Murray if he were a rich man. He sald that he was worth $300,000 and never had any business but that of police- man. “I asked him where he got it he had friends in Wall street him opportunities “I had the president of the police board call on me and asked him about the corrup- tion. He told me to let it alone—I'd only stir up & hornet’s nest and blast my po- litleal future. | “He told me the truth about that | “While I was mayor, for two years, New York wug a resp able city, externally at | teast. 1 had no power but the sentiment of the people behind me | ! 1dock | Potter, said “I know of men and women on the east side who have gone to the police with thelr complaints only to be told to get out of the distriet it they did not like condl- | tions there. I know of men and women | who have been driven from their homes | and business by those self-same conditions. [ They have been threatened with persccu- tion if they should dare to come to the | procathedral and submit their complaints. | I can produce 100 or 1,000 witnesses, if their | names be kept from the public until it is | certain beyond doubt that the Tammany leader has been crushed, for they fear him as a tyrant." Prof. Felix Adler sald: “I have no doubt as to the sincoerity of Tammany's purification committee. Croker sald: ‘l, too, um & father' and I have no doubt that even they see the evil has gone farther than they intended nd they {are willing to cut off the fringes of the | evil. I hope that out of this will come a | movement not primarily political, not for | the removal of Tammany Hall, but for the cradication of the evil. Let that be the | ehief object whatever may be the conse- quence.”’ §t.
