They were not sticcessful. Mr. Croker parried thelr at- tempts by remarks such as these: Fine weather for a yacht race, atn't ar “Don't know whether to go to the yacht race or not." Some one suggested that what they wanted to know was something about the ship of state, not the cup contest- ants, Mr. Croker didn't get a chance to make a rejoinder. “Jimmy” Oliver bustled up. He broke in: “McCarren saya he's highly pleased at the prospect “Why shouldn't he bev" sald Mr. Croker, Impulsively. Then he stopped | short and looked at Oliver. “Look here. We're not talking poll- ties," he said. Then he switched off to a story of how a stable boy at Jerome Park opce tok Senator McCarren for Dr. Cosby, and zd , asked Dim for a prescription, which the Senator gave him. If the Coler following and the leader of Tammany Hall have reached an | “agreement neither Croker nor McCarren will say.

Police Commissioner Murphy has re- fused to comply with the request of the Merchant's Association that he place Deputy Commissioner Devery on trial. He says, in effect. that he ts responsible for Devery and his action: and that there has been nothing ille- «al, un{ust or tyrannical in the conduct of trials by the Deputy Commissioner. Col. Murphy will ald the Merchant's Association in no way whatsoever. Following are extracts from his reply to the communication of the Mer?! Association: October 1, 191. To the Merchants Assoctation of New York, of the Clty of New York. Gentleme I have the honor to acknowledge the receipta of the chavges and specifiy cations presented against William 8, Devery, first. Deputy Commissioner of Police of the Clty of New York, charging him with Injustice, tyranny, and oppression, In his capacity um first Deputy Commissioner of Police, walle presiding at the trials om members of the uniformed force of the Police De- partment of the City, and alleging that | the sald William 8 Devery well knew penta that the conduct, fines and penalties enumerated In the specification thereto were without authority of Iaw and con- trary to police regulations of the sald Clty of New York. Putting these charges nto a single phrase, it would appear that you accuse the Deputy Commissioner of Police of injustice, tyranny and oppression waile conducting the trinis of members of the force. * * ¢ Upon a careful exammation of the record of the trials presided oved by the Deputy Commissioner, 1 beg to state that I find no case in which there has | deen the least Infraction of the pro- vision of the statutes, vee * T find that specifications One to Fourteen, Inclusive, recite solely the language alleged to have been used by the firat Deputy Commissioner at t trial, and are framed to constitute ‘conduct unbecoming n deputy commls- alon Li Gait 3 I need not say that no expression of private opinion of the Deputy Commis. sioner, nor any language which may have been employed by him In dispos- nk of the cases before him, ever In- fluence my final judgment in such cases, There has been yo question ratsed in either the charges or specifications as to the eMclency of the first Deputy Commissioner. Ho is an oMfcer of the Police force of many yeara’ standing and wide experience, and understands, in my opinion, the character of the va- rlous members of the force and the means to be adopted for the discipline and maintenance of the efficiency and integrity and peace of the citizens of this city can only be maintained by the right enforcement of such disctp- line, Ye i ' “I cannot find suMcient rea- won to call upon the first Deputy Com- missioner of Pollce to answer to the ulleged charges of Injustice, tyranny und oppression, and 1 must, therefore, respect{ully decline to take er ac- tion in respect to the same.
