Dnvis. Superintendent James Rob inson. Captain Nicholas J. Kenny. Lieutenant Georgo Stinger. Lieutenant Josoph 'W. Van Horn. Charles Lee, former chief of vico squad. , lilichael Kearso, district do tcctivo. Removal from office of high police offl clals and n reorganization of tho Bureau of Pollco Is one of the chief recommenda tlons under consideration today by the Grand Jury. When tho presentment Is laid before Judgu Rogers tomorrow In Quarter Ses sion's 'Court the names of tho official: sug gested for dismissal may become known. At present tho members ot tho Grand Jury have not let It becomo known whether their report will censure the bureau at taches specifically and mention names or will Incorporate the recommendations for a shake-up and reorganization In general terms, leaving tho matter of swinging the nx and placing tho Individual blame In tho discretion of the Mayor. "I will dlimlts any police ofllclal whose dlnmlual Is recommended by the Grand Jury," Mayor Smith la reported to have Id today. Submission of the Grand Jury present ment, with tho promise of Henry 3. Barnard,, the foreman, thnt It will contain no "whitewash" In Its treatment of vjee conditions, is nwaited with trepidation by pollco and politicians' alike. The meager satisfaction that thoy dare express In ad vance of the presentment Is derived from tho fact that the Grand Jury, under exist ing law, Is powerless to Indict persons found guilty ot dereliction In connection with the vice probe. . Tho Grand Jury, when it makes Its presentment, automatically passes out of existence. It can only recommend, but cannot Indict, In matters ot Its own In vestigation. It can, however, and, according to the statement ot some of Its members, will recommend indictments to be taken up by Its successor. In the matter of the vice Investigation, this successor Is the August Grand Jury which meets for organization next Mon day. PRESENTMENT NEARLY READY. The present Jury expects to have Its presentment complete and In shape for sub mission to Judge Rogers in the Quarter Sessions Court at noon tomorrow. It will become publio Immediately upon presenta tion to the court That some of the departmental officials are to be held personally responsible for the conditions revealed by the raid ot July 15 and Its sequel Is regarded as certain by persons close to the Jurymen. It Is taken as almost equally positive that these officials will not only bo the district commanders and policemen In the districts affected, but '..that the presentment will name persona "higher up" as sharing the responsibility for the manipulation upward and down ward of the ''lid" of the Tenderloin resorts. The main question before the Jury today appears to be .the propriety of naming these officials directly or leaving the discovery ot their Individual Identity and request for removal to the Mayor, relying upon his re ported Intentton to act promptly and vig orously In holding the persons to blame to a strict accountability for their ofllclal neg lect, and 10 leorgantzlng the department that future recurrence of the evil condition shall be Impossible. "STRAW BAIL" SCANDAL. Probably the most sensational disclos ure of the two-week Investigation came to light yesterday, at the end of the hearing. It was the evidence that revealed the fact that Magistrate Call had accepted "straw ball",, for 19 raid victims, and proved the positive collusion between ward politicians and those directly responsible for vice con ditions. t. Clarence Gibbony In his snal address before the Jurors placed the blame for vice conditions on the Blankenburg regime, and virtually recommended the dumiual of Assistant director of Publio Safety Davis and Superintendent of Police Robinson, and a general shake-up of the heads of the po lice bureau. What was expected to be a terrific flnlsa to an notable investigation was remarkable for the lost motion ot some of the wltnessa memories. Nevertheless, some vital U.?U g were developed. They are ta part as fel lows: Policemen and' police oSJctaU, for reason said to lie In the power of organised yuMti. cal strength, tear to take tha laHfavu against certain forms of crbn aa vie.
