CHARITIES CONFERENCE ELECTS •The Grafter ax Work in American Cities" was the subject of a paper bj Har- old J. Howland. of New York. John Mar- tin, of the New York Board of Education, spoke on -The Unearned Increment in Mu- nicipalities.' National Municipal League Dis- cusses Timely Topic. Buffalo. Nov. IS.— The word '"praft" was heard many time? at to-day's session of the sixteenth annual meeting of the Na- tional Municipal League and eighteenth national conference for good city govern- ment. Methods to circumvent the grafter and . to provide a system of government which will leave him no place in the public service mads the session the most interest- ing of this year's series. Dr. I^eonhard F. Fuld. examiner of the Municipal Civil Service Commission of New York, spoke on "The Police Problem." He gafo that while the administration of the poiic*. department in the average American city was not perfect, it wa? also true that it was the victim of too much criticism. He had found a large pro- portion of policemen conscientious In the performance of their duties. The police- mar, he said, was the victim, in many in- stances, of a political system which tied his hand;-. I^r. Puld favored the single headed department rather than the an- tiquated boa id system. He said: The p"li>c problem in our American cities is the most \u25a0 difficult administra- tive problem with which American pub- lic officers must deal. Every man owes il to himself as a Christian duty and .1 civic. duty to civc '.•• head of the police depart- ment such moral .i. i and assistance as he may be able to supply. We should not r>ritii m is 4 mli -- we are able to suggest im- provements: we should criticise methods rather than men; we should work with pr.b- lic officers, not against them; we shou'u strive for practicability and non-partisan- stiij 1 in ptiice administration.

At a business meeting of th* oonpre-a- tion. which was held immediately- after the regular Wednesday evening "experience meeting. Virgil O. Strickler. first reader of the church, read a proposed amendment to the by-laws of the church, which, if passed by the congregation on Friday ni ht will make it still harder for Mrs. Stetson or for any of her friends or supporters to re- pain for her the power which she on . wielded in tho local church. A little over a year ago \u25a0:•\u25a0\u25a0 Mr?. Stet- pon herself was expelled from the Mother Chur.l. in Boston, and then from the local church, of which she had been the virtual leader for years, it appeared that her power was broken To make it more sure, however, fifteen practitioners who professed allegiance to Mrs. Stftson. and who. it was feared, might ultimately engineer a movement \u25a0\u25a0\u0084 rein- state her. we:> expelled Just after the expu*sk>n of the Stetson- ites, a board of trustees was elected, and the line-up of the two factions in ilx; church owed that there was still 482 members who believed in Mrs. Stetson, as against 732 who voted to support the '•ad- ministration" ticket. It was said the Stetsonites were iininp forces for the January ple^tion of trustees. I Mrs Stetson specifical- \u25a0 - 'I. In any case the amendment proposed last niprht. .-,,..,.• is to be voted on to-mor- row nigrht. brings the issue up now instead of in January, because it would completely block any attempt which might be made to put on the board any one friendly to Mrs. Stetson- The proposed Lmend \u25a0" reads as fol- lows: All officers of th*- church shall be mem- b<?rs of this church and of the Mother Church, and enever an officer ceases to be a member \u25a0\u25a0;\u25a0<\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 church his office thereby becomes vacant.

If a complaint be filed by. a member of the church with the board of trustees charging thai a person is Ineligible to hold offlrr upon the grounds .-• i ' forth In this section* It shall be the duty of the board of trustees "within five days to call before them the person making the com- plaint and the person against whom the UNCERTAINLY AS To VOTE Scientists Would Bar Her ' om Control by New B\iq w . romnlaint is niade. toother with s , JC h wlt- °™ "as t V board or either side may de- "ire to call and to hearltha *vl<Whce and decide th" iiie find -,, a d the tllP hoard is trustee ehall find that the complaint is sustained by tWejrWwice the accused shall any of th. functions tthereoff f after a com- C' aint ,, h^JZ tnf board the Bame hh * S d Si2i££ $ "the meetln* was ended when the amendment was read to the con- srrepation. as the state law -minp re- lipious bodies requires that a proposed 1 amendment to the bylaws shall he read at one business meeting preceding the one at which it is acted upon. Mr. Stickler's reading of it was received in absolute silence and no hint of an im- pending flirht was to be seen. The administration faction, however, does not expert to have it sro through without a stiff debate, and the alignment of votes last year, not counting the probable addi- tions to the Stetson faction through new patient? who have been sent to attend the church services, would be enough to block its passage by the necessary two-thirds vote. Those who attended the trustees' election meeting last year and saw the bitter fipht which preceded the triumph of the anti- Stetsonites cannot be convinced that the \u0084,,.... powerful leader of the local church will surrender without a light on this last point, which would so effectually block any future attempt at renewing her power.

National Municipal League Dis-cusses Timely Topic.

Buffalo. Nov. IS.—The word '"praft" washeard many time? at to-day's session ofthe sixteenth annual meeting of the Na-tional Municipal League and eighteenthnational conference for good city govern-ment. Methods to circumvent the grafter

and . to provide a system of governmentwhich willleave him no place in the public

service mads the session the most interest-ing of this year's series.

Dr. I^eonhard F. Fuld. examiner of theMunicipal Civil Service Commission of

New York, spoke on "The Police Problem."He gafo that while the administration of

the poiic*. department in the average

American city was not perfect, it wa?

also true that it was the victim of too

much criticism. He had found a large pro-portion of policemen conscientious In theperformance of their duties. The police-mar, he said, was the victim, in many in-stances, of a political system which tiedhis hand;-. I^r. Puld favored the single

headed department rather than the an-tiquated boa id system. He said:

The p"li>c problem in our Americancities is the most \u25a0 difficult administra-tive problem with which American pub-lic officers must deal. Every man owes ilto himself as a Christian duty and .1 civic.duty to civc '.•• head of the police depart-ment such moral .i.i and assistance as hemay be able to supply. We should notr>ritiimis 4 mli

provements: we should criticise methodsrather than men; we should work with pr.b-lic officers, not against them; we shou'ustrive for practicability and non-partisan-stiij1 in ptiice administration.

"Take away the probability of conceal-ment, and few men have the courage to

defraud their fellows, or violate the law,

said i>r. William Allen, secretary of theNew York Bureau of Municipal Research,

In outlining methods of "Overtaking the

Grafter by Municipal Accounting."••The whole spawn or crimes that accom-

pany political corruption." he continued,"depends on some one'? ability to give

away something that does not belon? tohim, which in turn depends on public isnorance of what is being done with itsmoney and its power."

dSi2i££ $o«"the meetln* was ended

when the amendment was read to the con-srrepation. as the state law -minp re-lipious bodies requires that a proposed

1 amendment to the bylaws shall he read at

one business meeting preceding the one at

which it is acted upon.

Mr. Stickler's reading of it was receivedin absolute silence and no hint of an im-pending flirht was to be seen.

The administration faction, however, doesnot expert to have it sro through withouta stiff debate, and the alignment of voteslast year, not counting the probable addi-tions to the Stetson faction through newpatient? who have been sent to attend the

church services, would be enough to blockits passage by the necessary two-thirdsvote.

Those who attended the trustees' electionmeeting last year and saw the bitter fipht

which preceded the triumph of the anti-

Stetsonites cannot be convinced that the\u0084,,.... powerful leader of the local churchwill surrender without a light on this lastpoint, which would so effectually block any

future attempt at renewing her power.

It is Mrs. Stetson's last chance, if hersupporters are defeated, and iMhey should

win. by defeating this proposed amend-ment, they would sum have t" fore them

an even harder 'battle at the January -l<-c-i...i: of 'tees.
