BOARD
New YORK, July o.
AT a meeting of the police board to-day
Commissioner Matsel was elected presi-
dent and Commissioner Duryee Treasurer,
thus removing the dead lock.
The latter stated that before appointing
Disbecker to the police board Mayor Have
meyer insisted on having Disbecker's rcsig-
nation in his pocket, to take effect when
ever llavemeyer saw fit.
Desbecker took legal advice, and was as
surcd that such resignation amounted to
nothing, as a written resignation, written
out before he had received his appointment
to Pascton, and that once he received his
appointment he could not be removed, eX-
cept under provisions of the charter, which
provides that specific charges must be pre-
ferrej, and time and opportunity given
him to reply. Acting on this assurance,
Mr.. Desbecker gave the mayor his resigna-
ton, and received in return his appoint
ment as police commissioner
