Nkw Y’oitK, Oct. I—Tlicre \vits a ticmaml matte at the session of the Lexow investigation coinmittee yestenlay for the members to “go up higher.” By this is meant that some of the members of the committee are tired of the investigation of policemen and minor criminals, and that the police commissioners and leading politicians should lx* placed an the stand. This demand was expressed by Senator Lexow, who said that it was time to go higher np. Senator O’Connor cch<x*d his sentiments in still stronger language. He said that enough testimony had been produced against the rank and file of the police; that it was now the duty of the commission to find out just how far the higher officials of the force had been derelict in duty. Chairman Lexow said that the public demanded this. Mr. (toflf, in re- ♦*' ply, said that he was not quite ready to "go up higher,” but that he would soon be ready to call the police commission-

ers to the stand.

One other point of importance came out at the investigation. Mr. (tuff came in and announced that ho had written to Superintendent Byrnes and the com-

Washington, Oct. 17. — Chairman Babcock, of the Republican congressional committee, yesterday came into possession of an advance copy of a pamphlet which he is informed is being printed for general circulation, charging the Republican committee with circulating A.

Discussing the matter, Mr. Babcock said: "The story is made out of whole cloth. This publication is but the climax of numerous efforts that have b s-ii made to connect this committee with the A. P.

Tho inquiry developed evidence of drunkenness and brutality on the pert of Policeman Callahan, and Joseph Frankel, saloonkeeper, told of paying Policeman Sin Ivey $5 a week for "protection.” John Johnson, an inmate of tho Tombs, was placed in the witnessbox. He related that when first arrested he was lodged in the Jefferson Market prison, where Keeper Leach insisted with curses that he must engage a lawyer named Gatlin. .On two occasions the witness paid Leach $1 for the priviledge of walking in the corridor. This was the custom. Leach sold whisky to the prisoners for about four times its value. Leach was called to the stand. “Do you know what perjury is?” asked Mr. Goff. “No, I don't,” said Leach nervously. The nature of perjury was explained to him and he was forced to acknowledge that he had received money from prisoners and that he had recommended Lawyers Gatlin and Pentecost to prisoners. Chairman Lexow then succeeded in getting the witness to admit that it was the custom of the keepers to shar * lawyers’ retainer fees. But Leach strenuously denied that he ever sod whisky to prisoners. One Certainly a Perjurer. Patrick McLaughlin said he was a first cousin of John B. McLaughlin and that his relative was a perjurer and never in the army. It was found that there was hard feeling between the consins. The witness said his cousin came to him and said he had secured a discharge paper from the army from a friend and was going to use it to help him to get on the police force. Pi diceman McLaughlin was recalled and described the different parts of a gun and the duties of an artilleryman. Chairman Lexow said he believed the officer was telling the truth. The consul persisted in his assertions that the policeman had never lx*en in the army. "< )np of you ought to be in the state prison for perjury,” commented Senator O’C-ounor. Moses V. Hamilton, a business man, brought the day's proceedings to a somewhat dramatic close. He identified Captain Martens, wlu> was present, us the officer he hud paid $15 to two years ago. This was to secure the privilege of letting his store for a registry and polling place.
