from the south side of Sixth street, be-
tween Robert and Jackson streets, was

tiOnS.
The mayor was authorized to appoint
an expert not a member of the typoth-
et@ to examine and report on the work
done under the contract of j. II. Burns
with the city. The chief ct police was
ordered to detail FIVE patrolmen to assist
in catching dogs, and the mayor author
lied to appoint five men with teams for
the same purpose at So per day.

j. II. Carroll, Charles j. Palmer, W. j.

quence. the large lobby in attendance
and II. III. Fullen were disappointed.
The special committee on McCardy's
communication reported as outlined in
the GLOBE yesterday. The bonds of
the banks were found all right, with
two exceptions. AS to the Die Volks-
Zeitung matter, the committee said the
comptroller would perform his duty as
he understood it. They also thought he
would use his judgment in the payment
of the police matron's salary. The
coupon matter was disposed of by
resolution ordering the appointment of
a clerk, at $50 per month, to paste
them IN register partially filled
by McCardy'S predecessor. The OPEN
ing of real estate record was ordered,
and the heads of the several depart
mentS were ordered to file list of real
ty under their control. At the con-
cluSion of the reading of the report and
accompanying resolutions, Mr.. Van
Slyke moved that the opinion of the
city attorney made in connection with
the report be read, and Mr.. Lightner
Sald tnere was no report from the city
attorney to be read. Mr.. Van Slyke
said he thought there was one, as he

HEAD OF THE HAwKsHAws.
John III. Mason Named as Chief of
Detectives

John H. Mason Named as Chief of
Detectives.
John H. Mason was appointed chief
of detectives vice John j. OCOnnor. re-
signed, yesterday. The appointment of
Mason was decided upon the day after
the mayors election. as the GLOBE then
stated, and there are those who say the
new appOintee was promised the posi-
ton before the election. in case the Re-
publicans should win. The work done
by Mason in compiling and publishing
alleged Illegal registration lists day or
SO before election stamped him as one
of the greatest detectives of the times.
True there was nothing to back up the
great cry of fraud and false registration
SO loudly shouted. but it answered the
purpose of the ''refOrmers," and in this
one instance the promise Of reward has
been made good.
{ Mr.. Mason or. as he will now be
known in official circles, Chief of Detec-
tiyeS John Ii. Mason, was seen at the.
Office of the private detective agency he
represents Yesterday afternoon. He
was surprised, but only mildly, when
the fact of his appointment was an
bounced by the GLOBE representative.
MIR. Mason said he had lived in st. Paul
something over two years, coming here
in the spring of 1890. His success i'll the
census case was the first of his many
efforts he said which gave him promin-
ence. In August, 1890, he accepted the
position of assistant manager OF rhlePS
detective agency and in December
Of the same year was promoted
to the position Of manager.
The laSt-mentioned position he was now
holding. He said he had been con-
nected with the Franklin detective
agency at Philadelphia and other we'll
known bureaus Ill the East, and at one
time conducted all agency of his own in
Philadelphia. At the time of the Johns
town flood he was sent to the scene of
the disaster and had charge of the po-
lice for six weeks until the town was
turned over to the authorities. He
didn't say where he was born, but adj
mitted being thlrty-siX years old, and in
a modest way referred to the committee
and those who had the Gems us
abilities in the Vidocq line.
He thought he should have no trouble
in conducting the department over
which he will have supervision. but, of
course, did not know or could not tell
at the present time what the policy of
the administration was or would be.
The experience in his present position
would be considered to assist him ma
terially in his new field of operations.
The new chief has not filed his COM.
mission with the city clerk as yet, but
will do so today. Lieut. Denni Muir
ply, who has been acting chief of de-
tectiyes since June Z, will return n to the
position of lieutenant at the central
station. which he held when detailed.
