The Ex-Senator Says the Doc tor's Head Is Swelled. HE EXPLAINS HIS ill; VIEWS Parkhnrst's Idea of a One-Headed Police Fore Denounced as Absurd. Associated Press. New York, Dec. SI. Dr. Parkhurst tonight grave out a statement regarding the work of the Lexow Committee, which was endorsed by the Society for the Prevention of Crime. He says: "1 cannot express myself too appreciative' ly of the splendid work that has been done 'by the senate committee, and- Its talamlted counsel. There hias been cre ated 'through their instrumentality, an epoch in the history of. our city, and there has been secured ait the polls a municipal resolution that would have been Impossible except through their agency." Malotars had been for so long a time condtuated In entire thoroughness that we ihad forgotten 'that iwe had ever been distrustful, hut laite in Nobvem- ber mdioaitlons wne clear that the In vestigaitlon was not to be pushed to Its close In the eaimo energetic and unoom- prislng manner that had been followed up to thlait dalte. A good many days went by In cases -we knew oupht to be spent upon 'inspedturs and superintend ents. In view of all 'this we wene justl. fled In paying that while the committee stood up to the 'rack magnificently through all other portions of the Inves tigation, they flinched at the crisis. As long ago as when Mr. (Moss undertook to adduce evidence against Superin tendent Byrnes in a direct manner, the investigation comimlttee sprang to Mr. Byrne's assistance. They stumbled Just at the completion of thir work. The chairman of 'the cornim'it.tee will not dane to deny that It IM'poliey" ( have used that word advisedly he will recognize what I wafer to) thalt controlled him in his handling of Byrnes, and not a deal re to act In view of all possible or ascer tainable facts Jn Byrne's case. "Now the presumption Is on the side of the superintendent's being as crim inal as any other member of the fortce. Wherever they have stuck in their fork they have found rot, and whether Byrnes be rotten or mot, he has been In rot for thlnty-one years, and has been the executive head of rat for the past two years. "Now there are two ways In which Byrnes has put the committee under ob Kgatlons, and to that degree destroyed their independence. He put them under dbligat'lons by consenting to help de feat Tatmmany Hall. The second way In which the committee put themselves under obligations to him was by taking him into their confidence and allowing him to become a confederate with them In breaking down the force. To a de gree in which they obtallned help from Mr. Byrnes, they put themselves practi cally under obligations to protect him. Byrnes has frequently attempted to play the same game with the Society for ithe Prevention of Crime, but we have refused to aJIy ourselves with a man whom re believe to be more than amy other man, responsible for the con dition of thie department." aerloualy himpened by the commle-slon ers In the performance of his duty?" "I am only a poor, little Presbyterian olergynun," sxld Dr. Parkhurst,. scorn fully," and what has taken me a year or years to do, Superintendent Byrnes, with ample powtr at his command, would be able to do In a week, if he were so minded." Mr. Parkhurst, In his sermon yester. day, miado direct and incidental refer ence to the work of the past year. The people had learned, he said, that a poll ticlan was a man of expediency, and thlat he might arrange things in such a manner as only a mighty uprising of the people could undue. In looking over the Held of the future, he said the people should look for an Improvement In the ohamaater of the newspapers. The pa pers, he said, that daily serve up mass of undigested matter, without dis crimination, to. t.iflr readers, were rap idly heooming a public nuisance. PLATT ON PARKHURST. The ex-Senator Says the Reverend Gen- itlemon's Head Is Swelled. Wllkesbarre, Pa, Dec. 31. Ex-United States Senator Thos. Piatt, of New York, who Is here visaing relatives, in tn Interview discussed Dr. Parkhurst aind his methods without reserve. "I opposed Dr. Parkhurst," h'ald he, "booause I1 did not think his methods pnictlcal, and because I looked upon his schemes as being visionary. His idea :f a one-headed police is simply absurd and would put in the hands of the man at the head of that department, power that he might use to the great llaaidvantage of the force. He has done a gTsat deal of good, of course, but believe his head ta swollen by the flattery of 'the New York papers." Referring to the resignation of Supt Byrnes, Plaltt said: "I do not believe Mayor Strong will accept it. Byrnes is too valuable a man to lose, and when the depaptaient is reorganized he will be at the hejd of it, I think." BYRNES MAY BE RETAINED. New York, Dec 31. Mayor-elect Strong Is sold to hold Superintendent Byrnes in hu?h estimlaltion, land would be Inclined 'to urge the withdrawal of the superintendent's resignation . from the head of the police force, were It not tor his reluctance 'to antagonize the PiairkhUTBt Society.

IS PARKHURST RIGHT? He Says There Was an Understanding With Byrnes. New York, Dec. 31. Dr. Pairkhurat was seen today by a Tribune reporter, and when asked to comment on the Lexaw commUDtee's work, he said: "I scarcely think I ought to say any thing. To treat the subject adequately would take a good deal of time. There mske known my comnutnts tody." "Have you any Idea from reading the testimony erf Superintendent Byrnes, tWat there was a previous understand ing 'between him and the Lexow com mitee?" he was aekd. He smiled a little as he said with emphasis, "Thene is not the slightest doubt albout it In fact, I am free to say that I know there was an under, standing between the commission and Mr. Byrnes. I am n'jt prepared to say thalt Mr. Go ft bad any knowledge of it, but the understanding involved the manner In which Mr. Byrnes was to be treated. Just what the underjtait.llng was I decMn to state, but I know that Mr. Byrnes would not be badly dam aged. I first made up my mind that there was an understanding when I heard that Byrnes, was supplying the commission with Information. My senti ments with regard to Mr. Byrnes are the same now as they always have been. I have been fighting him for three years, and he has been fighting us, and I am firmly of the conviction that !f I care f.jr the safety of our organiza tion, I cannot aiTord .o become allied with the enemy In any way, shape or manner. I loik upon Superintendent Byrnes as a constituent part of a sys tem that Is corrupt, and for that rea son I do not believe It is wise to have any dealings with him." "What do you tliluk of the superin tendent's testimony that he baa been ANOTHED PARDON. Salenn, Or., Dec. 31. Capt. W. W.

In the interview Rev. Mlsmer said: "There never had been an objection to Catholics belonging to the lower degrees of any of these secret societies; In these degrees men are only banded together for mutual benefit and pleasure. But In the hlglier degrees the principles and teachings f the societies are dlstlmctlly anti-chrlstian, and contrary to the prin ciples of the Caltholio church." .
