MEYERS POLICE MACHINE.
PROOF THAI HE EMPLOYS IN ron
POLITTG4L ENDS.

Detective Douglas Makes known the
Reason for His Removal frsm the
Third Precinct Expressly Chary "a
Con missioner Meyer with the 6TeFy
Things Meyer Denies.
The TArr1ER's charge, made two weeks
ago, that Police Commissioner Meyers an
tagonism to the appointment of Sergeant
Moses Newton to the Captaincy Of the
Third Precinct Police. was due to his
desire to have in charge there man who
would work the police in the interest of
Meyers denomination, has attracted wide
attention. 1t brought from MIR. Commits
sioner Meyer public denial that he ever
had used the police to serve his political
and personal ends All through the fourth
district, over which the jurisdiction of the
Third precinct police extends, it is matter
of common notoriety Ahat the men con-
nected with it have been required to use
their sspuH with saloon keepers and others
in Meyers behalf. The saloon influence
is potent one in the fourth district, and it
is an easy thing for an officer to keep the
saloon keepers on his beat in line by
threats to make things uncomfortable for
them. The refusal Of the late Captain
GIenny TO permit the txertion of this
kind of police influence in Meyers interest
made him, it will be remembered, at one
time Inspector of Police for time, and
sent Inspector Lange to take charge of the
Third Precinct station house. Lsnge did
not like this berth, and he became SO res
tive that he was finally restored to his
place at police headquarters, and Glenny
assigned to the command of the precinct
A compromise was patched up between
Glenny and Meyer.
Numbers of gentlemen interested in po-
lice matters have told the TATTLER that
Detective Douglass removal from the Sec
ond District Court, where he had oficiated
fer long timo as Associate Justice, was
due to his opposition to Meyers political
schemes. Douglas has been for the last
year Police Justice Stilsing's Associate on
the bench in the Gregory Street Police
hunt up Douglas last evening.

Court to the First District Court because /

Commissioner I took the liberty
after he had been renominated
of exerting myself to secure the

nent. Mr.. Meyer stood ready to dismiss
me from the department for my defiance,
but he was not able to accomplish it. Twas

Afterwards William H Furman called on

Court. Subsequently met Meyer, and he
asked me if Furman had been to see me.

This st ~ of Douglas shows the worth of
Mr.. Meyers denial that ne used the police
to serve his personal and political ends.

Deacon Richards Compromises With His
Conscience on the Dance Question.
Some of the Baptist Sunday Schools had
joint excursion to ROTOR Point one day
last week. The First Baptist, the North
Baptist and the Bergen Baptist schools
made the union. None of the dominies
went along, and they had a jolly good
tine, but the deacons were along to see
that they didn't laugh too Loudly or eat
too much. Deacon Richards of the First
Baptist strolled into little party of young
people that had gathered in a shady spot
during the afternoon.
"Dsacon," said one of the bright-syed
girls in the throng, ssthere's beautiful
platform; the band is idle, and what
would you say if we should have little
dance?'
SWELL" said the Deacon with great une-
ten, s1'm opposed to dancing and all such
friyoloties. But then I'm going way down
that way, and shall be gene probably an

the Deacon, "ana shan't have occasion

The musicians put their lips to their in
struments as the Deacon strolled away, but
more intolerant deacon intruded upon
the throng a second later, and put an end
to their enterprise.
