N1W YORK. Mar (SpwUl)-
Tor the first time sine consolidation
bcam a fact (January I. ). th
city fca a Pollc Commissioner who.
It Is inrrellT brlteved. will make
good.
Tht "14I commlulooer. th man

but caver heretofore found. Her r

e-re he should have:
He should bo a military man: on
who can hoM th confidence of th
fnn and the public alike; a man who
will not graft himself or allow others
to do so. ray exr-cutlve ability: and
bo aM to krep politics out of th
department.
Khinelander Waldo comes nearer to
filling- the bill than dnea any one els
In the city. In fart If his admlnlstra
tton is a failure. It might as well be
admitted that thrr la no cbanc of
properly filling; th place.
Waldo saw a.-tive muitarr aerrlc

and chased around tha Island
with sreat enthusiasm. And a man
who can throw tha fear of tha Lord
Into tha arentle brcaata -of band of
Klliplno can certainly b relied upon
ti keep a herd of policemen on th
Jump.
Waldo Liked Iicrause lie's Square
In his previous eaperiene on th

mad a hit with th rank and Ilia.
Tha old timers will tell yoa that ha

asks nothing- mora than that, fo far
aa tha bad ones ar concerned. Waldo
la shrewd taouch to look after them.
U aMo la nut "poor but honest." Ha
Is rich and honest. t'ndoubtedlir ha
would nn graft, but Ma financial con
dition la sura that there la no need
for htm to do so.
That Waldo poeaeaaea executive abil
ity la demonstrated by th fact that
durtna: hia relan In tha fire department
ha has completely reorganized the bual
nes end nf that force and Instituted
many reforms which Improv things
ant also eave tha city money.
As to the political end of tba gana,
Waldo kept politic out of th fir
department, and ha says h will do
tha same thins; la hla Dew branch
of the aerrlc. Aad th cbancas are
that ha will make rood.
Whtla ha waa bo of tha firemen.
Waldo took palna to tell district lead
ers that that their Indorsements In'
Jured rather than helped candidates
for promotion, and that h would be
obliged If they (the district leaders)
kept away from headquarters unless
they had aom real buaineaa there.
The transfer of authority at Center
etret was one of the most dramatlo
affairs la a most picturesque admtnla
iration. lommisaloarra hsr com,
and Commlaslonera have prone, but
nerer under such circumstance.
Joy Marks Cropaey Coins;.
In former transfers the outgoing;
executive has held a reception, at
whub hla friends In the department
have call'd to pay tbelr respects and to
express sorrow over his departure. And
the rank and r.le of the department
hav bowed profoundly, and looked
sympathetic, even If they did not really
f.el so. The affairs have been fu
nerals, naturally enourh. but no on
has been so nnklnd aa to throw bricks
at the corpae.
But when James C. Cropsey went
out. it waa iiirrerent:
The usual knot of policemen waa
-atnrre1 in th nail one afternoon.
Suddenly a man In uniform rushed out
from an Inside office. He whispered
10 one ox ine loiterers, then they
slapped each other on the backa.
Insld of a few mlnutea the word
had passed all through th building.
The old man has been kicked out."
Great enthusiasm waa manifested,
for the unpopularity of Cropaey could
hardly be appreciated. Policemen shook
handa with one another, laughed and
exchanged congratulations. And when
Waldo came In a little later to take
command, the building fairly radiated
cheerfulness, for the men. who would
hav welcomed anyone as a change
from Cropaey. were mightily pleased to
see a man tbey trusted take the plac
of the obscure, cross-grained Krooklyn
lawyer, who had made their Uvea mis
erable for aeven terrible m on the.
The retiring Commissioner wasted
no time In formalities. Having no
friends to whom he had to say good
bye, he held no reception. And short
ly after Waldo moved In. Cropaey
moved out.
Accompanied only by Ms faithful
secretary. Cropsey. carrying a grip,
started away. In the lower corridor
there were many policemen, who mad
It plainly manifest that they were
very, very happy. There were no
deep bows, no sympathetic looks. There
was no city auto waiting at the door.
Cropsey. the private citizen, stepped
out Into the street and Into political
oblivion. And th only kind word was
aid by a policeman And ha aald:
"I wish to Gawd that Cropsey would
get drunk on my beat aom dark
night."

Sine Waldo has taken hold, he baa

under Waldo In the lire department. Is
aa exceptionally brlsjht young newe
paper znaa and a diplomat of the first
water. It was at one announced that
the Cropaey policy of secrecy was
don away with. Waldo realizes that
the public has a right ts know what
la going on In the department, ao long
as the Information doea not hamper
police business. And with Mieehan to
manage toe press bureau, the Indica
tion are that public, newspaper men
and police officials will all be satisfied,
something that has never happened
heretofore.

added to his popularity with th de
partment at th start.
Waldo Announces Policy.
Th Commissioner has not mads any
announcement aa to what he means
to do. but here sr soms aampi Waldo
statements, inspired by his experience
first deputy.
"You can't make a fore enthusiastic
by nagging It- You can't enforce dis
cipline by a series of petty charges
and punishments. Tou can't create
esprit de corps by holding th clcb
of fear and terror over the heada of
grown men.
"The discipline of a police fore, to
be real and permanent, has got to com
up from the force Iteelf. and not from
the higher authority alone. The ideal
condition would be for every man in
the force, whether uniformed or In
plain clothes, to feel at the suc
cess of the whole body, and th re
spect which the citizens hav for It.
dependa upon him Individually, and
upon the way In which h performs
hi duty."
This would strike th average man
i being a pretty fair platform, and
one that should be satisfactory to men
and public alike.
It may not be generally known, but
th term of Folic Commlaaloner Is
tire years, yet no man has ever filled
out a full term, aa the Mayor has th
power of removal. Oeneral Bingham
held the Job for th longeat period, a
little over three years. Cropaey holds
th short distance term, aeven months.
Waldo's friends, however, believe that
he will establish a new record and re
main In charge as long aa he deslrea.
Cvery newspaper In rtew Tork ha
praised the appointment . of Waldo,
which Is something remarkable. The
young Commissioner the 1 only 14).
has honesty, ability and knowledge
of what must be don. Heretofore,
when a Mayor found an honest Com
missioner, he was always a man who
lacked ability, while th able Commis
sioner were ususllr regarded as
grafters or pliant politicians. But th

all the necessary quallncatlona. and
looks like th right man In th light

Th rollc commissioner has th
hardest Job In the city administration.
but If any on can make a success
of It. the man Is Khinelander Waldo,
a rich man who loves hard work.

BAN FRANCISCO, Kay 29. (Spe
cial.) Charging that Chief of Police.
John F. Seymour has been "fooling and
befuddling" the publlo and that he has
suppressed details of crime, specifying
on instance involving a $40,000 loss
by a citizen; that he has run. th de
partment to suit the convenience of
friends, and that ha is arrayed against
the cause of union labor. Police Com
missioner Walter E. O'Connell todaV
resigned his position. His letter to
Mayor McCarthy bristles with sensa
tional allegations against Seymour.

stopped that were being sent to that
city from San Francisco.

T
END OF FAMOUS COMIC OPERA
LIBRETTIST IS TRAGIC.
Author of Book and Iyrlcs of "Pin
afore," "The JElkado" and Other
Classics Sinks- in Lake.
LONDON. May 29 Sir W. a Gilbert,
the noted dramatist and librettist,
who wrote the famous "Savoy Operas,"
including "H. M. S. Pinafore." "Pa
tience," "Iolatithe" and "The Mikado,"
and was knighted in 1907 by King Ed
ward, met a traglo end today.
While swimming in the lake in his
grounds at Harrow, friends observed
that he waa in difficulty and strug
gling. They hurried for help but Sir
William sank. When tba body was
recovered, life was extinct.
He Is believed to have been stricken
with syncope.
Sir W. 3. Gilbert was th guiding
star of the comic opera stag of the
last generation and his operas written
In collaboration with Sir Arthur Sulli
van are still recognized as the highest
form of the comic opera. Among his
greatest successes are "H. M. S. Pina
fore," "The Mikado," "The Pirates of
"Pensance." "Patience" and "Trial by
Jury." His "Bab Ballads" and "Songs
of a Cavoyard" are his chief contribu
tion to the poetie literature of the
English language and both have run
through a number of editions.
Gilbert started out in life to be a
lawyer, graduating from the University
of the City of London in his 19th year
and taking his law degree shortly af
ter. The success of his first play,
"Dulcamara," turned him from the law
and soon after he took to playwritlng
as a profession. His success with
total of 20 plays, all or partly to his
credit, netted him an ample fortune,
with which five year ago he retired
to a country home out of London, Be
fore his retirement he was dramatlo
critic of the London Illustrated Times
and a frequent contributor to humor
oua periodicals.. Outside of his operas.
the whimsical humor poem, "The Tarn
of the Nancy Bell, Is his best-known
work.
By a coincidence, tonight the Shu
bens' revival of "Pinafore," in New Tork
waa scheduled to open at the Casino
Theater.

To Remove Dust
From the Hair
(From the New Tork Examiner.)
"Don't drench your head with water
every time your hair is dusty." says
Clarlbel Montague, the beauty expert.
Too much moisture causes the hair to
become dead and dull.
"When you want a perfect coiffure.
Just take a quick dry shampoo. Mix 4
ounces of therox with 4 ounces of orris
root and you will have a supply of dry
shampoo powder sufficient for all Sum
mer. "Sift the powder lightly and evenly
through the hair. Brush it out thor
oughly and it takes with it every par
ticle of dust and dirt. Therox imme
diately gives the hair a rich and glossy
lustre. This mixture vitalizes the fol
licles, and (if used regularly) long and
abundant hair will be the result." Adv.
