= bape wm oa NERCHANTS URGE NORE POLICE AND US GRIME BUREAL State Chamber of Commerce Told Present Force Is Totally Inadequate. ‘The Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York at its annual meeting to-day, at No. 65 Liberty Street, passed the following resolu- tion, which was offered by Irving T. Bush, Chairman of the Executive Committee: 1. That the police force of this city is numerically inadequate and should be materially enlarged at the earliest possible moment. 2. That a clvic organization having ‘no official connection with any of the existing commercial or civic bodies should be created for the purpose of promoting efficiency and activity of all officers and departments of the city, county and State Governments charged with thé suppression, pre- vention and punishment of crime. 3. That the Federal Government should, under a Federal statute, e8- tablish and gaintain a national bu- reau for @pe history of criminals in the form of court records, fingerprints and otherwise, and that there should be assembled data from which every municipality and State in the country could speedily obtain whatever in- formation of that sort it might desire. 4, That the Executive Committee be empowered and directed to take such action as it may deem necessary to make the foregoing resolutions ef- fective. The resolution followed a report by Mr. Bush in which ke stated that the committee had made an investigation of the administration of criminal jus- tice in Cleveland and Chicago. It had found, he added, that civic bodies working independently of the ad- ministration had increased the effic- fency of both police and courts. He explained that the committee had not ~ been able to make any extended in- vestigation of conditions in this city. “Broadly speaking, however,” he said, “we believe the police of New York to be honest, a fine, upstanding ' body of men." He went on to say 2° that the committee did not believe that any programme of “head hunt- ing” would get anywhere. ‘The Po- lice Commissioner has given us facts and figures which persuade us there are not enough police in this city.” Joseph M. Price said, when the resolution was offered, that section 1 should be withdrawn, ‘The Chamber should not praise or blame the police as they are at present organized," he said. ‘The committee has taken Commissioner Enright’s word for it that the department is numerically inadequate, but that should be in- vestigated. This is a question of morale, not numbers. Mr. Enright is a very plausible gentleman; he makes speeches and is agreeable and convincing. He has statistics at his finger-tips. But these do not show the number of crimes committed here, and for that reason are worthless." The Chamber passed other resolu- tions favoring the Merchant Marine Bill and disapproving the amendment to the Webb-Pomerene bill. Charles Bernheimer, Chairman of the Arbitration Committee, declared that the Federal Government could save enough money to materially re- duce taxation by passing legislation which would make all contracts sub- Ject to arbitration. Under the prevailing system a citi- zen doing business with the Govern- ment has to resort to litigation in case of disagreement, and hundreds of mil- ons of dollars are involved in such litigation before the Court of Claims. Irving T. Bush, President of the Bush Terminal Company, was unani- mously elected President of the Chamber, succeeding Darwin P. Kingsley. Frederick H. Ecker, Vice President of the Metropolitan Life In surance Company, was unanimously chosen Chairman of the Executive Committee, succeeding Mr. Bush. The Nominating Committee, which was headed by Cornelius W. Bliss Jr., also presented the names of Judge Elbert H. Gary, Chairman of the Board of the United States Steel Corporation; Leonor I". Loree, Presi- dent of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad Company, and Charits T. Gwynne for Vice Presidents to serve for the next four years, William H. Porter for Treasurer and Charles T. Gwynne for Secretary. All were unanimously — elected. George F. Baker was elected a member of the Executive Committee at Large, to serve until 192: a PLAINFIELD MAN NOMINATED TO HEAD NEW JERSEY RED MEN, ATLANTIC CITY, May 4.—Charles 1.

McCormick Gives Walska Home In Paris Bought From Cochran, But Denies Any Engagement Presents Singer With Residence She Entered by Force After Husband Double Locked Doors to Bar Her Entrance. ae The revived rumor that Harold F McCormick is to wed Mme, Ganna Walska was strengthened to-day by his refusal to deny it and by the dis- covery that he has* presented to the singer the fine Paris residence that her husband, Alexander Smith Coch- ran, bought several years ago from| the late James Gordon Bennett. It has been reported that Mr. Coch- ran gave the Paris residence to the Polish prima donna as part of the set- tlement they have arranged pending a Paris divorce.

Mme. Walska is so fond of the place that last year she forced her way into the house and lived there after her husband had closed it against her. So Mr. McCormick has given it to hei, it is said, on authoritative in- formation. From Chicago comes word to-day that friends of the McCormicks believe there is to be a double wedding in Europe within a few months which will unite the head of the Harvester company and Mme. Walska, and his daughter, Mathilde, and Max Oset, Swiss riding master. Mr. McCormick, as he got off the train from New York in Chicago last night, would neither affirm nor deny the report that he contemplated marrying the singer. He said he did not wish to discuss Kis personal af- fairs but added: “But I can say we are not engaged.”” Later in his conversation with re- porters he said: “IE am not in the least concerned whether Ganna Walska and Mr, Coch- ran are divorced or not.
