) FXPOUE GHEE SAYS HEAD SHOULD HIVE LONG TERM McCullagh Tells Curran Com- mittee Force Cannot Be Run on Theories. John McCullagh, the former chief of Police who preceded William 8. Devery @6 the active ruler of the force under ‘the olf bi-partisan board, was a wit+ Ness to-day before the Curran Alder- manic Investigating Committee. McCullagh, a middle-aged man, dress- 4 with somewhat scrupulous care, gave is testimony in a precise manner. ‘Mr, Buckner, counse! for the commit- tee, teld the witness he summoned to give his ideas of the New York police farce from the standpoint of who had started as patrolman and quit an Chief.” SAYS COMMISSIONER SHOULD BE A PERMANENT ONE. McCullagh said that if the Commis @oner held a permanent tenure of offive increase the effictency of the at least % per cent. He favored a civillan for the oftice—a man who would simply hold the position as an executive with an active head under tim, “No man with only theories can run Gre Police Department,” declared Mo- Cullagh. ‘T've heard lovely young men come on the stand here and give their theories of police work. It waa inter- esting; but it didn’t deal with facts. One of them -vrote a book, You can't reform the police with a book. “The police force of New York was better untler the Strong administration “than ever before or since. Everybody ‘was happy? they were not worried by the press. The department went easily along, These were halcyon days.” McCullagh continued to gihe his opin- tons of the police force at considerable Jength. ‘ “For the love of\Mike,” said Alderman Dowling, in a: stage whiaper, that celebrated record—the John McCullagh.” SAYS THAT DEVERY WAS ALL RIGHT. McCullagh placed the seal of his ap- proval on Devery, who, he declared, was all that Van Wyck said about him. Col. Partridge, the “Knitting Needle Commissioner,” also came in for Mc- Cullagh's warm approval. He spoke ‘well of Gen. Greene in the department “I fave having a chief of police,” Me- Cullagh continued, “and he need not necessarily interfere in any way with the Commissioner. He ought to have a permanent tenure of office. He is the real bulwark of the department.” He said Mrs. Goodwin, the lately ap- pointed woman detective, would be bet- ter as the head of the Detective Bu- reau than the Incumbem, SAYS POLICE DISCIPLINE IN RUINED. “Put Mrs. Goodwin on the job Gemorahzation would be complet: the way he phrased it. “The whole thing has been a burlesque on police duty and wound up in @ tragedy with Becker behind the bars. I expected tt would come. The only man who has kept the department together de the man on the sidewalk. The discipline of the department has been ruined, it is de- Moralised utterly and entirely.” “Well, now, Mr, McCullagh, what do yeu think of the present Commissicner?’ @gkea Mr. Buckn: “Well, Waldo’: good young fellow, ut he's up a tree and can never get down. He's got ability but he can never wet there. I didn't eay the Mayor is at fault, but no Mayor can make his Com- miastoner a recording clerk and expect him to retain the respect of the de- partment.” “How about the detective burcau?” asked Mr. Buckner. “Dougherty's a good man, but he can't make good without the co-operation of the Police Department—the unifi ree.” * Replying to Mr. Buckner’s questions HAS ' @hout the Benevolent Association within the department McCullagh said: “Well, when they were going to Al- any on the three platoon bill they came te me and asked me to go up there, 1 told them that I wouldn't have any- thing to do with them and if I ever found out they'd raised money for the bi I'd put them all in Sing Sing.” ) Second Deputy Commissioner Dough- erty was the principal witness before the committee this afternoon, kind of men who » he aald he pre- the “fellow with a good high school education and lots of common sense.” About 1,500 of the 10,000 men on the force, he said, were fitted for de- fective work, He said he would recommend any pa- troknan who had performed good duty uss Bergmarks “ook because sre lose ‘mer Erase THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 19138,’ A DAY; TO TREAT: THEIR: BLISTERED-FEETANDREST-THEIR: ACHING BONES; HEN“ON TO: WASHINGTON P.0.Q)” CRIED GENERAL ROSALIE JONES. 1L, HAIL, THE G LU HERE — GoucH (A GIRLS | College!

VISITING DAY 7Ke Original /4, Coutts tem * MORGAN LETTER BLAMES BANKING SYSTEM FOR EWS Declares New Laws Are Need- ed and Calls Theory of Plot to Curtail Credit False, WABHINGTON, Feb, 27.—A general Genial of the existence, or possibility, of, a “money trust” was presented to the House Money Trust Committee to-day in a long letter from J. P. Morgan and ‘Company, at the Invitation of the com- mittee. Upon the receipt of the Morgan letter to-day Chairman Pujo gave out a letter written to Morgan & Co. saying that the invitation to Morgan & Co. had been extended to Jan. 27 and that the com- mittee had been at work on the report for a month. “Your memorandum,” the reply concluded, “manifestly comes too late to be of value. ‘The Morgan letter laid at the door of the present banking and currency laws the responsiity for any ‘“concentra- tion’ of money and credit that may exist. In its conclusion as to the committee's @ctivities the letter said: “We venture to submit the constlera- tion that in a strong public opinion, such as exists in inis country, there lies the ureatsat waferuard of the com- munity—always ny that Congress tife and sound prenent time, ours adinittedly ts not, The public, that Is the depositore, are the ones who entrust bankers which auch influence and power as they to-day have in every civilized land, and the public is unlikely to entrust that power to weak or evil handa, Your counsel ankel more than once whether the pre: ent power held by bankers in this country would not be a menace if it Jay in evil hande, ‘Buch Inquiry anawors Itself, All power, physical, intellectual, financial or politl- cal, is dangerous in evil hands, If Con- gress were to fall into evil hands the resulta might be deplorable, “But to ws it seoma an little Mkely that the citizens of this country will Ml Congress with rascals an it is that they will entrust the leadership of their ‘dusiness and financial affaira to a set 0: clever rogues.” ‘The letter saya that such concentr i tion of ~ New York as has o: curred Ix due to the “antiquated bank- ing system,” and the natural law, which “In every country creates some one city as the great financial centre." DENIES PANIC OF 1907 WAS DE- GN OF ONE MAN. That part of the Money Trust lution declaring that it is “generally believed" that groups of financiern “create, avert and compore panica” was particularly attacked in the letter, Mor- wan & Co, set forth that any withhold. ing of money or credit by one man in any market would be “promptly re- Heved by the automobile flow of credit from some altogether forelka source.” “We regret,” sald the letter, “that & belie! so incredible, so abhorrent and |eo harmful to the country should for a moment have found lodgment any- where.

How a Painting Made by a Donkey’s Tail Originated Latest Freak School of Art Meg Villars Describes the Nightmare on Canvas Over Which Payis Raved and Which Was Made by a Placid Animal’s Tail While It Was Swat- ting Flies. Another Picture That Was Absent Was One That Had a Dead Cat Stuck to a Chair, the Near- Sighted Artist Having Overlooked the Animal When He Put the Can- vas on Exhibition. BY MEG VILLARS. Somehow I never expected to meet my French friends, the Cubist fiends, in New York and I had the surprise of my Mfe when I heard that the gentle- men had arrived together with their famillare the Post Impres- sionists and Fu- turists! If the show had been given on Ellis Island one might under- stand; but no, here they are, as life and a million times ugiter, right in the heart of New York, a few yards off Fifth avenue itself! You turn away so many undesir- ables that I wonder how on earth you managed to wink both eyes while they crept in, O, City! You are alwaye so clever at tak- ing away the best that exists any- where in Europe that it comes rather a shock to find that you have been caught napping for once! I wonder if you realize that you have been guilty of a double mistake, dear New York. You have allowed the “Independents” within your walls and yet you have not secured their most remarkable creation, you have not got the masterpiece of Impressionism! Yes, I thought that would surprise you, It sort of makes you set up and take nutice doesn't It? As you recall some of the visualized nightmares yo@ saw hanging around at the I, BE, 0. M A. (International exhib: ete., ete., ete.) you wonder how anything could pi Albly be more astounding than those canvases, The greatest example of the Post Im- pressiono-Cubi-Futurist Art ts a picture that was exhibited in the Salon of the Independants two or three years ago in aris, From varnishing day onward excited crowds grouped themselves be- fore the enigmatical canvas, It was @ocketed in the catalogue as represent- ing @ “Sunset on the Adrlatic,” but to the uninitiated it seemed as ff a child had been having an argument with its int box, of as If a poster for a n ballet, painted by an artist suffering from delirium tremens, had been rolled on before it was dry by a shaggy Newfoundland puppy! however, large, ‘Th @ who knew, silent in an ecstac when first th There the chorus broke loo It was—well, I could write down what they said in French, for I can use the language myself with considerable volu- bility, but translating would be rather slippery and I'm afratd to risk {t! 1 don't know enough about the freedom of the press in this country, COULDN'T FIND THE ARTIST TO PRAISE HIM, After warbling praises for some little time the enthusiasts looked round for friend Boronall, for thie the canvas was signed, (Unbelie waid that it was only by the signature that they knew which end up the picture had to be looked at.) However, the great artist, with un- usual modesty, had refrained from ap- remained pearing, and the critics had to r about the wonderful soul-tints and p chie-thingumbob by their lonesomes Al; Paris came to #ee the picture, and people alternately scoffed and raved! The unceasing efforts made by half a dozen admirers to find the whereavoute of Boronall failed utterly!

Can't you see all the Mrs. Critics troning heir Cubist-Impreasiono-Critic-husband's best Sunday-go-to-meeting tle, fuffing up his fluMest felt hat and getting the Paint stains out of his newest pair of black velvet pants? The address was of « place high up on Montmartre, higher than the famous Rue Lepic, that you almost need an alpenstock to climb, right up near the Sucre Coeur (that all good America visit when they go to the Gay City). PRANK OF A BUNCH OF ART STUDENTS, A bunch of merry-faced students, dis- ciples of the Great Boronall, met the cullers at the gate! They led them across a sunny little courtyard and ushered them—a glorious moment—into the Great Man's presence! What amazement was there then, my friends! They gazed uncomprehend- ingly for several moments; all they could see was a little brown donkey placidly munching his food. At last— © horror!—they understood! hindquarters were turned 3 tled to tts long tall was a paint brush. When the tail hung Iimply down the brush dipped into one of the many paint pots on the floor at Boronall's heels, when files an- noyed the artist's haunches the tail was raised in angry protest to prush the nd at the same time it accomplished a sweep of color on the canvas! ‘Thus the “Sunset on the Adriatic” was painted, © * © The picture all Paris flocked to see, the masterpiece that 1s from your exhibition!
