Those Consolidated Out ON
Medical Examination.
THE LIST OF NEW APPOINEEEs.
Mrs. L. NJ. Grey Made Police hatron'
How the Vote StOOd-Programme
Previously Arranged.

The Police Commissioners came to-
gether late, as usual, yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Bilderrain and Major Furrey
came in last, having been detained, evil
IDENTIFY on the new list, the work OF add
ing up forty-three alleged Democrats and
tiity-eeven Republicans, so as to make a
total force of 100 having been all upset
by the ordinance reducing the number to
ninety.
The Chief was in hurry to get away.
He recommended Mrs. L. N. Gray for
police matron, and asked permission to
appoint Deputy Chief, in accordance
with the provision in the Charter for
such an officer. 1t was decided that no
granting of permission was necessary.
Mr.. Burns then departed.
1t was moved and carried that the
matter of the granting of permits to
carry concealed weapons should not be
brought up before the Commission. The
Chairman was authorized to act for the
Commission ard keep record OF those
to whom permits were issued.
A vote was then taken on the appoint
ment of police matron. Mrs. l.. N.
Grey was elected by unanimous vote OF
those present.
Major Furrey moved that the Chief be
instructed to detail an officer to visit
every saloon in the city and see that the
license was being paid, and report results
to the Commission. 1t was carried.
A transfer of license was granted from
MIR. Clary, of All N. Main street, to ?,
Ballade.
Major Furrey then rose and said that
the object of the meeting was to re.
arrange the list of men the force, to re-
duce the total number to ninety men,
and to drop those who were passed upon
as unfit by the Medical Examiner. He
then read several lists OF names. The
first consisted of ninety names, which
was the proposed force, with the excep'
tion that the ten new men whose names
appeared were to be subject to medical
examination. 1t read as follows: N. B.

A vote was then taken on this list as
to whether they were all to be confirmed
as permanent members of the regular
force. Mr.. Knox declined to vote.
81 don't zee how can give any deci'
sion on that list" said he. ''This is the
first time | was ever allowed to see it l''
Under other circumstances this might
have been statement to excite little
surprise, but it was accepted merely q a
matter of course and the business pro.
ceeded.
The next list read was that of the new
appointees, who were included in the 80
but whose final confirmation was subject
to medical examination. They were w

win, Levi d. Rich, Theo. Metzler, ]. j,
Hawley, W. II. Russell, j. E. Wheaton
I The vote was taken on this list, Mr..
Knox again declining on the same ground
as that stated before.
The next list was that OF the specials,
who were to be employed from time to
time, as the Chief saw fit. It read as
follows: w. B. Hinkle, III. K. Chase,
L. P. Miller, D. F. Finucane, Elvin Har-
vey, ]. 81. Mullaly, J. B. Langsten,
David L. Craig, s. N. Sheets.
The vote on these names was the
same as on the other list.
Major Furrey then read the names of
those men of the present force who had
''failed to pass the medical examina-
tion," and must, therefore, be dropped
as "not confirmed" All the talk about
the medical examination" WAS carried
ON in sober earnest, as though the Com
missioners really believed that this was
the reason for the change. Major
Furrey sadly laid the list of rejected
down, and said he supposed it was
necessary to formally dispose of them.
The Commissioners all sighed heavily
as the unfortunate victims OF a medical"
examination received their quietus in
the shape OF a vote to drop. Mr.. Knox
evidently had no confidence in the de-
cision of medical EXPERTS" for he again
declined to vote. The list OF the disabled
is as follows:
G. r. Stevens, Sanford Bevan, Jos. M.
Pond, H. Schonecke, J. H. Smith, Fred
johnson, A. @. Vignes, Russell Arm
strong, NJ. Maud, II. B. Meyer, Alvin A.
Fall, Fred M. Stein, j. W. Grubbs, Geo.
N. Lockwood, J. 7. Gable, L. w.
Keyane.
Maior Furrey moved, in order that
there might be no opportunity for mis-
understanding, that all the men whose
names appeared on the original list Of
ninety be considered, subject to the re-
mcyal of the Police Commissioners with
out appeal or previous notice, and that
whenever removed they be paid only for
the time of active service. The motion
