te. 8 ae a 10 POE LOK UPON COMIISIONER AS BIR OF PASSE Ten-Year Term Needed, For- + mer Deputy Woods Tells Curran Committee. WHOLE SYSTEM WRONG. Physical Courage, Which Never Makes a Man Honest, Alone Considered. Arthur H. Woods, tn charge of the Betective Bureau during the police ad- Ministration of Gen. Bingham, was the first witness before the Curran Alder- manic Committee to-day. The Alder- manic Chamber was heavily draped in funerea{ black in memory of the late Alderman McGrath, who died on Sun- @ay. Mr. Woods said he had been Fourth Deputy under Gen. Bingham from July, 07, to September, 1*@. In his opinion Mf the “right man was on the job he could give a good police administration even under present conditions.” He Gould not do this however, if the police had to do “the debauching work of en- forcing laws that public opinion does Mot stand back of, and pubilc opinion Gow not stand back of the vice laws ef to-day.” ‘The police also shoud be taken out of Politics, he declared. “What do you mean by that?” asked ‘Alderman Dowling. “A lot of witnesses ave said that, but nobody has ex- plained what he means.” POLITICIANS THE BANE OF THE POLICEMAN'S CAREER. “No politician should be able to help fay policeman in any way," repiied ‘the witness, “I think, also, that the fafluence of the Mayor over the poltce force should not be interfered with You elect him to run the city. The police force is his chief instrument to that end.” ‘The witness continued that most Com- missioners under tne present system were birds of passage. For that reason ‘the police “lie low" under a hard Com- wmiesioner and wait til] an “easy mark” ‘comes in. “If we had a ten-year term for the ‘Commissioner the force would buckle @ewn to work. There would be an im- @rovement in the force of 75 per cent. @Miciency if they knew a goud Commia- @lioner was going to last \ “Policemen want to make good. They ‘want promotion. ‘Tne Civil Service sys ‘tem is bad, “Physical courage ts the commonest Quality om the police force of Now York. Moral courage is the rarest; yet ‘the former is recognized, while the lat- ster, the moro desirable, won't help a Iman toward promotion, It doesn't take physical courage to be honost. Yet courage is all that helps a on.” ‘THINKS REINSTATED POLICE- MAN SHOULD SUE THE CITY. ‘Mr, Woody said’ he woul! take away from the commission the power to de- mete men, but he believed that a police- man who had been properly dismissed @heuld not be reinstated. Ile would Sold Everywhere allow the man « court review, but if the court decided in the man's faver he should have to suo the city without re- inatatement.
