The committee of the Police Commission
ers, consisting of Messrs Catlin and Sloat,
were in session again last evening for the
purpose of examining candidates for posi-
tions on the supernumerary force in the
police department. The following ap-
plicants appeared and were examined as to

Wallace Ives, Merritt Smith, John B. Post
r. F. Petrie, Harry B. Mead, John s. Miller,
David Brown, Edmund Kelley, John Roach,

1t is not likely that any of the men ex-
amined will be put on active duty at present
as the appropriations are only barely sufi-
Gent to pay for the men at present on the
force. If some of the men at present on the
supernumerary force should drop out, or be
dropped by the Board, then some of the
number recently examined may be substitut-
ed in their places. The present action is
more of precautionary measure than other
wise and will give the Board an opportunity
to select readily, when the final report of the
