HE police books, Police Commissioner Enright points out, con- } tain things the public is not entitled to know. Among such things appear to be the full police record ring on Commissioner Enright’s statement that Daniel E. Costigan | ‘was the worst inspector in the department and that during 1918, whea Inspector Costizan was in command of the First Inspection District, “316 arrests were made for gambling within his district by Obief In- spector Daly's special squad and by the Special Service Division,” while, “during ihe same period Inspector Costigan’s own men made only jforiy-one arrests for gambling, of whom thirty-one were discharged, ‘five convicted and five cases are still pending.” | | } As agains! these statements regarding Costigan’s record made iby Commissioner Enright in his letter to the Mayor, other persons in 4 position to know the facts are prepared to show that during the itime Costigan was in command of the First Inspection District his! his made some ‘were made under his command of the Headquarters Squad. j It is further pointed out that Costigan made this record while hie duties were threcfold—as Inspector of the First Inspection Dis- ‘trict, as Chief of the Headquarters Squad dealing with vice condi-! jtions throughout the city, and as confidential investigator for Dis- \trict Attorney Swann. | So far Commissioner Enright has backed up his own appraisal \ot Costigan’s work as Inspector with nothing more substantial than jcomparisons of Costigan’s expenses with those of his predecessor, \Iaspector Keliy—the figures may perfectly well be taken to indicate | that Costigan spent more because he did more—and, as to Costigan’s| record, characteristic reiteration of the old, sweeping, serviceable and | I a certain type of man who m “Rotten.” » Commissioner Enright has not opened the police books to the pablic. Nor does he mean to prefer charges against the Inspector record he calls the “worst in the department.” That might 29 00 arrests for gambling and vice, while 296 more, kes it) sufficing pronouncement: | t No. Commissioner Enright hopes the public will take the demo- ‘tion of Inspector Costigan as a nine-days’ wonder and forget it. Likewise the resignation of Deputy Commissjoner Goff, who is known for a friend of Costigan’s. Likewise other items in an unfolding programme of readjust- ments, transfers and reductions in rank which already bear the sinister mark of a scheme to shelve certain higher officers of the Police Department who have become the most efficient campaigners ‘against gambling and vice. | All these things are to be nine-day wonders for a publié that ‘is expected to end by accepting them, Vrom time to time that pub!'c may need further rough talk from Police Headquarters to teach it to mind its own business. If | sa, such talk will be readily and confidently supplied by a Police Commissioner to whom the Mayor says: You don’t have to write | toome. I'm with you.

Yea, their heads are as empty as foot- balls and lighter than a fiction magazine.
