The Searchlight denounces Commissioner of Accounts David Hirshfield for abusing powers and harassing critics. It calls his removal a gain for New York City and warns Parliament may curtail the office’s authority to prevent further abuse. The Union cites a Court of Appeals decision supporting inquiry rights while cautioning against oppression. Public officials and newspapers face alleged forgeries and perjuries in attacks.

Plot Hatched in Swann's Office in New York
An excerpt from The Searchlight by the Citizens Union accuses the District Attorney's office in New York County of aiding a political plot. It discusses the dismissal of indictments against William R. Greve William H Reynolds and Frank Bailey for defrauding the city in Rockaway Beach property sales. The text notes the cases were never tried and dismissed recently for lack of prosecution. It questions whether Hearst papers influenced the DA and if the prior term affects the extraordinary grand jury's jurisdiction.
