It was announced to-day the Curran Committes would adjourn Thure- day or Friday until after the Waxner Committee has completed tts work and | made a report Under the resolution creating the ‘Wagner Committees its report must be fn ty March 15, Senator Wagner has asked the co-operation of the Curran Committee and Pmory R. Buckner, its chief counsel. Mr. Buckner sald to-day the Curran Committees had decided to give this co-operation. The Wagner Committee does not plan to investizate —only to frame remedial legislation— and the Curran Committee will give it the benefit of its discoveries. “The committee will require several weeks to whip the results of its hearings ‘nto shape,” sald Mr. Buckner, “and thie can only be done when there are no pud- Ne hearings in progress, We want to Girl Gone After Youth’s Arrest on a Charge Made by Her Kin eoob4 SEDSSOSH OLF99E996-20005900006 Sd6< PLPDDDED0906-289O049 008 GIRL DISAPPEARS AFTER ARREST OF for tneMctency the same as eny other police officer, he added. “I've never yet known of an unworthy @an as inapector who has long held oMce under a worthy Commissioner,’ he declared, “Such a man cannot last. He must go. There are mot so many — coreg prion ays ae There t man: petri and “ey ‘should pola some wtve Senator Wagner and his colleagues the benefit of our experience and our suggestions for remedying time to be of service to them.”* Mr. Buckner said it was probable the committee would resume hearings at ter March 15 in order to clean up lines of investigation. Firet Aasistant District - Attorney Frank Mons, former member of the old bi-partisan Board of Police Commiasion- era, was before the Curran Investigat- ing Committee to-day to give his ideas on the reconstruction of the Police De- partment and the better administration of justice in the police courte. Mr, Moss succeeded ex-President Roosevelt as President of the bi-partisan board in 187, He served one year im that on- pacity under Mayor Strong. Mr, Moss said he believed tn a singie- headed department, the Commissiongy being removable at will of the Mayor. He went on to say, however, that a trained Chief of Police, analagous to the general of an army, ought to assist the Commissioner in handling the rank and Me of the force. WOULD GIVE COMMISSIONER POWER OF REMOVAL AT WILL. He highly recommended that the Com- - loner be given power to remove any oman a will, Mr, Mose sald that ie his term of office on the bi- partisan board he was not “pestered with critics or reformers.” “A live Mayor would control the - Partment and be responsible for Went on to say. “And if he doesn't city will know where to find witha is - | F i F qe # i § & | a cl i 5 & the question. He said the public health ‘was now a Gtate matter and other de- partments Were under the control of the Btate. “But there are other advantages to | "| acerue from State control of the de- partment.

The witness went on to gay that if the State had control of police the Lexow Committee would not have had to face entrenched vice in New York. He wanted to see @ sort of State secret service, he sald, to act as @ check on protection. Polloemen should be dealt with as men. It hae been said that there is lote of courage and lote of corm ruption in the department. “A policeman told me once that every man in New York ‘works his job, even the minister.’ That {@ the reason many of the men give for taking dirty money." WITNESS THINKS POLICE SAL- ARIES ARE TOO Low. ‘Mr. Moss entered « protest the enlaries of policemen who have been ‘on the force less than five years. “It’s an outrage," he said, “to require these young policemen to go on in such onerous work for such a time at salaries Of 8900 or $900 w year.” Mr. Buckner reverted to the Morals Commission project. Mr. Moss declared that the police should have supervision of gambling and disonterly houses. They should be “thrown into it and if they YOUTH KIN ACCUSE Police Are iad ts to Find Bea- trice Kohler, Last Seen With Woman Teacher. James P.

Undoubtedly the fact that @ Ity date had been tioned in the indictment has been known to Sweeney and bis counse! all along, and has had its effect in inspiring their air of se- rene confidence.

He eald he would con sider a motion based on the ground that without inspection of the Grand Jury minutes the defendant could not wet @ falr trial. Mr, Talley amended his motion to cover this point. Mr. Clarke asked for two days in which to prepare an an- er to the motion and Justice Goff the proceeding on the motion for Wednesday morning.
