As let no liave bet'n made In tue White House staff save that Secretary Tumulty at work lu the place vacated fcy Charles D. Hllles, who was secretary to ex-President Tart. It may be some t'aie before President Wilson makes any changes and even then they are likely to be few. There are a number of valuable and experienced men on tbe While House staff and the new President already bus set an example of the recognition of itUcicnoy n-ithout regard to politics In bis announced intention to reappoint lutereiate Commerce Commissioner Clark. Among President Wilson's first vlBitora In his office today were home folk from New Jersey.

In fi'-e taxlcabs about thirty of them descended unon the executive offices to witness the swearing In of Joseph P. Tumulty as secretary to the President. President Wilson tame Into tbe room just as Secreiary Tumuliy had Uken the oath. ''You look Just lbs same as President as you did when you were governor," remarked State Senator David, with whom Hr. Wilson was Intimately ldentiDed iu accomplishing corporation reform in New Jersey.

Likely Diplomatic Appointments. Particular signliicance was generally attached to the visit at the White House offices of several other men mentioned tcr diplomatic posts. Abraham I. Elkus of Men- Y'ork, who Is likiy to go to Japiin, taw the President for a few miDutea. as did Thomas Page, who may go either to Austria or Germany, and Charles It.

Crane Chicago, who seems certain to go to Russia. P.ichard Olney of Massachusetts, who "as Secretary of State in President Cleveland's cabinet, was said to be slated for Great Britain. Frederick C.

NOT destroy: One Strong Paint for Upbuilding Bui-laess Is Singled Out for Unanimous Prais.e. Bankers and men of large buaint.s af-fairj applauded President Wilson's Inaugural apcech today. Ta that It was speech of high ideals and lofty la ton, and tbey found source of particular satisfaction In taeae words of -We shall restore; not destrov." The sentiment exnreased by most of the inea of big ajalrs who were interviewed by Esgle rcpreaentaliTea today was that If the new President will hold fast to that idea bis admlniatra'Jon will not only prove a pronounced auccees.

but he wit) have found a common ground on wbich all men can meet with htm aad help Wall Street found nothing in the speech of acceptance to make It nervous. Rome Wall Street authorities said today that it was not an address on which one could express a specific opinionthat It was a high literary and moral treatise and 3 such was not open to criticism. Wall Street will wait patiently and with curiosity for the President's first message before it begins to form its judgment. E. C.

Bium thought the message ad mirable In tore. "I think," eald Mr. Biuni, "that the strongest point In President Wilson's inaugural Hddresa was that part In which he declared that hs seeks to build up and not to destroy. What we want now is action, and this action ought to be guided by those words. If Preildent Wilson does that, everybody ought to be satisfied and the country should prosper." Left His Party Miles Behind, Says Pounds.

Commissioner of Public Works Pounds, a Republican. as another man who found the speech of acceptance a most praiseworthy one. "It was a spaecb," said Mr. Pounds. "Ths question In my mind is whether President Wilson can gt his own party or any other party to ilve up to the high standard be has set.

It strikes me tbnt he has left his party about 4.0i 0 miles behind him. "New York Is well represented in tbe Cabinet, and all Brooklynltes, of course, are proud that Redtleld has a place in the portfolio. 1 know htm, and he Is a very oblo man. He receivtd hla training, you know, In the position I now bold," Mr. Pounds added with a lausth.

Former Mayor David A. flaody expressed the opinion that the speech was one of the loftiest of sentiment. "I think that the President has started out under high ideals and that he needs tho support of the entiro country," said Mr. Boody. "It Is a good speech, la which I find nothing dangerous." Not Specifia Enought to Suit Some of the Bankers.

CLarleB A. I.lndley of Lird'e bankers, of 100 Broadway, Manhattan, said that be would prefer lo wait until Ihe President's first message was sent to Congress before expressing any opinion. Mr. Llndley said that he didn't think that tbe speech had any significance one way or another. John H.

Davis, of John H. Davis Wall street, said that tbe potential thing about the speech was that the President promises to build up. and not tear down. "We have had tearing down for the last five yearB." continued Mr. Davis, "and we need building up now.

For the rest of it, the speech strikes me as rather IndeSnlte. Mr. Wilson talks to the people in terms of differential crl-culus, rather than terms of simple addition and subtraction." Alexander M. White of White, Weld eald the.t tbe speech was a moral and literary effort, which was very well phrased, but that It was not a and definite business message. Andre" T.

Sullivan, president of the Npssau Trust Compaay, said: "President Wilson's inaugural address Indicates a clear and able mind and gres. ability to grasp and cope with the serious and compllcr.ted business conditions ami problems which now confront the country. This ability and sound judgment is also reflected in his selections for his cabinet, which is composed of men not only of tho highest character and ability but of a standing that should command the respect of the country ul largo." Frederic E. Gunnison, president of the Home Trust Company, sa'd: "President Wilson's address seems to be In line with his policy as expressed in bis campaign speeches, and is a good, clear message to the people. It seems to give promise of a conservative administration of Government affaire.

George Chauncey, president of the Mechanics Bank, said: "President Wilson's address seems satisfactory to me and to most of the people I have talked with. He is not In a position as yet to give a complete outline of his policies: no man could do that." CITY CHECKS WERE FORGED Under the direction, of Publio Works Commissioner towla H. Pounds and Hlirh- ways Superintendent John W. Tumbrldgs, a probe of the Highways Bureau was undertaken today to gather Information which, it is expected, will lead before mgnttaii to arrest or tne person who stole front the bureau a pad of blank checks arid forged three check3 on the city for M0 each.

Hepalrt Hay Cost S1GO.000 Full Ex-j tent of the Damage Is JTot Tet Known, The bubsiding waters In "hoodoo" at the trooklyn yr4 today disclosed a gaping bole in tbe bottom of tho giant dreudnougut Arkansas, which struck an uncharted coral reef off Ouan-Unnirjo. nearly a month ago. The bole Is oa the port side forward. It Is cot risible to anyone standing at the brim of the dock, but the workmen woo want ojwj mio tue basin say taat It was caused by a seam giving away before the terrific strain of tbe dreadnought, moving at ten knots, running upon the reef. Those who sa the break ay that it la about fifteen feet long and about two luches wide.

It is between the vertical and the elite keels. Although the glaat snip was put in the dock on taturday last, It was nearly cooa today before tne dok was dry. Tne operation of pumping out the water was begun on Saturday, but was done very slowly, divers being down constantly to see that the blocks were "taking." Two ol tue snip couipartUinnts were flooded when she arrived, and on this account oa Inkling of tho damage dona could be bad, I' or tais reason the docking had to be conducted in the most cartful manner possible. juc cflicials at the yard Immediately begun an Inspection of tbe hull to make estimates ca the cost of repairs. Until litis la complete, tbe full extent of ttn! damage will not be known.

It is not bu-HuTeu th.it the work cen be done for Irs than glCO.OuO. and If the framing has suffered es the result of the accident, it cost ac-veral times that sum. The repair work became neceasary at a very opportune time. The work on the dreadnaugnt Delaware Is near completion, and in a very short time it would have bjen necessary to lay oft a large percentage of the force at the yard. How long the work on the Arkansas will require is not known yet, but It will probably occupy three months at the least, and by that time the keel for the collier, or that of the new battleship provided for by Congress Is expected to be laid down at the Brooklyn yard.

Tells Wajnar Committee tbe Commis- sioner Should Kav Long; Term and Bo Independent.

Controller Prendergsst gavs his views oa remedies for tbe evils of tbe Police Department, to the Wagner Legislative Investigating Committee, at the Hall of Records la Manhattan, this afternoon. He said he believed that the police matter was not one for legislation. "There Is too much rushing to the Leglslsture," he said, "for remedy on every possible subject. I think ths Police Commissioner should bsve more leeway In handling the men under lit ought to be able to maintain discipline. Because of the law for review of trials, tbs Police Department has become demoralized.

"I think a commissioner should have a loug term in oSce. It might be well for ten years, and I would go so far as to tay he should be there as long as his behavior is good. "Are commissioners selected for any peculiar qualifications? To speak frankly, Mr. Baker was a nice gentleman, formerly secretary, then Civil Service Commissioner, and then a Deputy Police Commissioner. What knowledge bad he to be qualified? I am not character ring hla administration.

What has Mr. Crop-sey ever done to make him a commissioner? if be had been made Corporation Counsel, It would have been a good appointment. He Is a good lawyer. HO was followed by Mr. Waldo.

True, Mr: Waldo bad been a deputy, but what did hs know about tbe most Important department In tbe city? Do you suppose they do it this way in London and Paris? I think not. There they grow up to ths Job. It is laughable to read bow, following a robbery, the papers say the commissioner is working bard on the case, "I don't think our system of appointment Is right. In it lies all our criticism of the Police Department. I think a man to be appointed Police Commls-, doner should be a man who has had some knowledge.

We cannot pre-suppose that every policeman Is or has been dishonest. The whole department should not be judged by the dellnqulcles of cor-tain men. "You ask a man who knows nothing about the police to master tbe situation. Chief Brynea knew tbe department aad the men. Says Mayor Should Not Run the Po-.

lice Department. "I think this ts a question of adminis-tra'ion." The commissioner should be free to manage his department. Everyone knows that during this administration the commissioner has not been tree. Tho Mayor thinks be knows more about running the Police Department than any other man In it: His Intentions Were good, but two heads cannot run a greet deaprtment. The Mayor has a lot to do and he cannot run the Police Department In connection with It.

"A man with a long tenure of office could do something in the department. Mr. Waldo Is eald to want, to do everything the force wants. Mr, Cropsey is said to have been unsympathetic. And there you are.

I am speaking frankly. TblB Is a question of administration. You could not fool Byrnes. One little police lieutenant couldn't fool the wbele department. No legislation will correct this.

It depends on the type of man. "We all know saloons are open on Sunday during every administration, Including this one. You can see It while pass ing along tho streets, even in such a well regulated community as Brooklyn. How are you going to stop It? Of course the pollco can stop it. They are all tested for eyesight when appointed.

They see it just as we citizens do. No Day of Rest in the saloons. The law should be enforced. "It Is reasonable to let a man buy a drink If he wants it. The way to give him tho right Is to repeal the obnoxious law now on the books.

I believe- In the will of the people In these matters. Other witnesses before ths committee today were Edward D. Page of the Merchants Association, and Frederick C. Howe of the People's ins'ltute, both of wnom favored reforms In the excise and vice laws. MUST IDENTIFY MONEY.

if Toil Anticipate Being' Robbed Mark Tour Bills, Leon Copland, proprietor of a department store at 826 and 628 Washington avenue, was surprised today when in stead "Here you ere, Mr, he was asked, "Can you nositlvely Iden tlfy the "Did you mark the money before It was stolen from you?" and other questions which he was unable to answer satisfactorily. It was In vain that he protested that he never thought of marking money in anticipation of its being stolen. On the night of January 2D, James Mc-Cauley and John Flnen broke Into tbe department store end carried off a number of articles, including pink garters, shoes, a medal, tie pins, cuff links, and match safes. In addition they got away with $16. The next day Patrolman Shellard arrested the two men In a pawn shop on Jrtyrtle avenue, where they were trying to pawn a pair of opora glasses they had Stolen from tho store.

They were taken to the station houan, where Shellard searched them. Me found several of the stolen articles and exactly 81G. The men wrc Indicted by the Grand Jury for burglary, and, when arraigned In the C'U'Hy Court, pleaded guilty to the charge. S'ntonce was suspended upon both. Then Copland wanted to get his property back.

The clerks In the D'-Irlct Attorney's office returned to Particle. of'h 0 t. the pins garters, tae matca eafes, anl turn over the money, saying that ho would bsve to establish that that Identical money bad beon his There must be some merk about It by which hs could remember It. They referred htm to tho cfilce of the Chief Clerk of the County Court, but there he was told it was up to the District Attorney. MAN WHOTHREATENED WILSON Trenton, N.

SHOULD CONTROL BIG FUNDS. Tells ths Alderroanic Committee How He Wss Hampered in His Administration, Former Police Commissioner General Theodore A. Bingham expressed some very positive views oo police reform and police administration before ths Currau Investigating Commltee today. He p.ii-l his compliments to tbs lnvestlgatora themselves when he remarked: "I sincerely trust that something will come of this Investigation aad that li will not be a flurry for a tew days and then be forgotten. "One ot the most surprising things st present to my mind Is tbs general apathy which exists In tbls town la regsrd ta conditions.

I am very much dlecouraged by this attitude and am by so means the only one. I can show you a dozen editorials from leading newspapers commenting on lbs same thing. I have oh served do great Indignation quiet but deep and 1 shall be very much sur-prised It anything ever comes of all this examination." Would Make the Term of Commissioner Twelve Years. General Bingham was not averse, bow-ever, to telling what he thought should be done, and first and foremost In this regard ho tbought the tenure of office of the Police Commissioner should be increased to eight and preferably to twelve years. 'The power ot removal should be taken from tbe Governor, but retained by the Mayor.

Removal by the latter, however, should be made only on written charges, published In all the newspapers, and after a public hearing, ho thought. He scored the practlco of Legislative1 Interference In the Police Department and of the activity of the Police Benevolent organizations. While not abolishing the latter, he would have them placed subjoct to tho rigid control of the commissioner. The suggestion of a separate police force to handle the morals of the city was strongly opposed by hlm. It Is foolish and ridiculous, he said, to organise another force to do the policemen's work rather than requiring them to do what they are paid for doing.

General Bingham could not lay too much emphasis on the Importance of giving the head of the Pollco Department a longer term of office. "If you expect to get anything done," he declared, "the tenure of office should ho A five-year term amounts to nothing. I suppose eight years would be enough, but twelve years would throw the fear of the Lord Into the force, because the men would then realize that the commissioner Is there to stay, end would turn to hlra for reward. To my mind this point Is absolutely vital. Its effect if put in force would be felt Immediately." Hampered by Policemen's BI5 "Mortuary Funds." Iu regard to making the conjmisslonei1 an elective official, tba witness declared: "To my mind there is ho question that he should not bo elected.

It would sim ply make the problem worse. We have too many elective officials now. It Is the surest way to take it out of the hands ot the people and throw it Into the hands of the politicians. To make him appointive with the power of recall Is the beat way. General Ttingliam told the committee he-had been hampered In his work by the efforts of the various police be nevolent associations lobbylnn far varlouj police measures In the State Legislature.

He told of runnlnr down with th" District Attorney at one time a fund of $60,000 which had been collected by the Patrolmen's Association and deposited In a safe deposit vault for "murtuary pur-pases;" "That was bolng held In trust for the funeral expenses of the commissioner?" suggested Mr. Buekner. "Plght you Rre." assented General Blnghem, with a Innph. "You know now that the Pension Board has been made to consist of the heads of these various police benevolent aeso elallona and a deputy commissioner, and that they oaes on the pensions to their own men." said Mr. Buekner.

"What do you think of such an arrangement?" "Ho ha," laughed, the Witness. "What do I think of It rotten. Excuso the expression, but that's the way I feel about it." General Bingham Was removed from the bead of the department by Mayor Mc riellan oa result of the famoua "Duffy ooy mupinnp: esse," brought up by Mayor, tnen justice uaynor.
