Mayor Smith yesterday afternoon stated that he wrote a letter to Chief of Police Eberstein, directing that the police department out forth an effort to suppress the operations of . highjackers who are making nightly visits at tfce homes of many citizens. "As mayor of this city have the right to address letters to the police department," the mayor stated when asked if there was any particular circumstance which caused these in structions to be directed from his office ratherHhan through the com missioner of police. He did 'not believe it would be a matter of public policy to divulge the text of the letter. Special Squad Formed. : A special squad of police has been equipped with revolvers and shot guns for night work along the lines suggested by the mayor. The mayor declined to discuss the . matter more than to state that he wrote the letter and that he did so by the authority which he holds as "chief exexcutive and conservator of , the peace." . Chief Eberstein referred to The mayor's letter during ' .yesterday's session of police court The police dragnet is to be operated more vigilantly during the night hours. "I have not seen the letter and will not comment on this until I see the letter," Police Commissioner Ringei said.

Plan to Cfentralize Work of Charitable Institutions of City A special committee to make i survey of the various charitable In fstitutions of the dty for the pur pose oi eventually centralizing tnera and possibly supervising their ex penditures through a budget system was appointed at a meeting of the public welfare committee of the Chamber of Commerce vesterdav. "There are about" 20 charitable or ganizations in the city," said TV I Combs, chairman of the committee, and all are doing good work. We believe that if these organizations were centralized, however, better re sults might be accomplished, as it is inevitable that the expenditures of so many organizations in all parts of the city would at times overlap. We do not believe there has been any extravagant waste on the part of any organization but we believe that there could be more efficiency in the methods of spending if the organizations were centralized." - No definite plan of centralization has been evolved, Mr. Combs said, but the committee hopes to nave ome dehnite plan formulated within a month.
