Reporters Indignant nc the Loss Of Some Of
Their Privileges.

Some Of the recent changes at Police Head
quarters, have inf-inged upon the privileges
hitherto enjoyed by the local reporters Of the
city papers, and those individuals feel highly
Indignant aud belligerent. Formerly reporters
have had access to the room occupied by the tele.
graph operators, and when in search OF news,
have gone directly to the offcer on duty there to
make their inquiries. BY the new regulations,
nopersons are allowed admittance to the telegraph
room except the officers Of the Department
The reporters feel that this rule was adopted cs.
pecially to exclude them from the room. Infor.
nation and items for the press hereafter will be
written and laid upon little table, or stand, In
the centre Of the ONCE Of the Majors clerk. A
railing is TO bc erected the clerks desk so
as to exclude reporters from any part OF the
room, except the corner where the table 10. Here.
q. tofore reporters have been allowed 50 much lib
srty about Police Headquarters, that they have
become almost rs familiar with tho workings of
the force as the officials themselves. Recent de-
yelopments have proved how dangerous II is TO
allow such persons to become acquainted with the
internal affairs Of the Department. Hereafter the
reporters Will be kept IN ignorance OF everything
except such police news as the Majors clerk
deems proper 10 be given TO the public. In ex.
planting the action OF the Board, some Of the
mad learned OF these projected raids sold the In
formation to interested parties, and thwarted the
e plans Of the police. The reporters are very
indignant over this charge, and will de-
mand to know which Of their number Is
accused Of this breach of Confidence
