PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 14.-At yesterdays
session of the Federation of Labor a mes
sage from the Chicago Trades assembly
was read asking that the federation take
no action with regard to the Columbian ex-

AT ITS WITS ENOS.
The Police Administration
Policy Is Now to Deny
Everything.
But the Globes Predicted
Changes Will All Come q
Today.
Capt. Mason Gets Excited and.
Says Hard Things Of
Garvin.
Meanwhile the Carnival of
Crime Goes on Unmo-
Tested.

The ways of the novice in political
position are strikingly peculiar. There
can he no reason to doubt the anthem
ITCHY of the report that John Ii. Mason
has resigned his position as chief of the
detective force. Still, both he and
Mayor Wright emphatically deny that
that is the case. They preserve a bold
front, and pretend to SeiZe the neither
horn of the dilemma. That the public
demands change in the administration
of the police force every citizen who
meets any considerable number of peo-
pie. knows full well. The chosen organ
of the reform administration has be-
come a blatant. exponent of the erratlc
and inefficient course of Detective
Mason. This is considered by the pur-
blind politicians sufficient vindicatlon,
but the citizens are too we'll aware OF
tine nightly OutrageS, perpetrated under
the very nose of the detective force, to
rest easily until adequate protection
may be afforded pedestrians whose
business OF social relations compel them
to walk the streets at night. The whole
sale denialS of the Self-conStituted de-
fender of the inert management OF the
detective department, denies that citi-
streets of the city. The people who
have been the victims OF these outrages
are known to the public, and no one
with modicum OF common sense will
presume to charge these people with
classifying.
But strange things happen among pc
culiar officials, and now the mayor and
Detective Mason are most emphatic in
their protests. They declare that Mason
has not resigned, and, moreover, that
he is not likely to resign. Not only
this; III a vein of self-adulation Mason
asseverates that the mayor is entirely
satisfied with the present regime.
Despite all this, it is positively GEL
tain that there will be new head 60
the detective department today. Capt,
John McGlnn, of the Pinkerton agency,
will assume control. He will take the
reSpon sibiIIties clothed in full power to
choose his own subordlnates. He will
name efficient men, and it is only fair
to presume that he will soon rid the
city of the crooks, thugs, 9 arroterS and
highwaymen that now infest it.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1892-12-01
MASON MAKES MERRY.
He Denounces Garvin and. Says
lie Has Not Resigned.

Chief Detective Mason was at the
Windsor hotel last evening, in quite
excited condition. He was heard by
several to denounce Chief Garvin in
shocking way, applying vile eplthets to
every mention OF bin. He spoke of him
as being dirty cur, and used other and
equally strong terms. He said that he
had called Garvln these things to his
face. His resignation, he said. was not.
in yet, and would not go in until he was
ready to file it; Garvin couldn't make
him resign sooner. This was reported
to the GLOBE by parties who
bear good regulations. The GLOBE was
correct in its statement OF yesterday
that Mason's resignation had gone in,
Mayor Wright's and the Dispatches
STORY to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The conSeryators of the peace created
by the reform administration seem to
be having happy-go-lu time of it,
to say the least. Meanwhile the foot
pads and burglars are attending to bus
mess in the most successful way. Why
does not Chief Garvin throw himself
into the breach and either restore order
OF resign? There is no sense in the adj
ministration endeavoring to make
scapegoat of Mason. The whole system
is at fault.

MORE POLICE CHANGES.
Capt. Cook Goes Down and Lieut..
SchWeitZer Up.

1t is Capt. Phil Schweitzer now. This
morning he will be promoted from lieu
tenant of the police force to captain,
and Capt. John Cook will be reduced to
sergeant. SchweitZer will be placed in
charge of the Central police station. in
the place heretofore occupied by Cook,
and the latter will probably be placed
on duty at. the Rondo street station.
Sergeant Boerner will this morning be
promoted to lieutenant to fill the vacan-
cy made by the promotion of Schweit-
ger. There are, some other changes n
the wind, but the. exact facts could not.
be learned last night. n
Last evening none of the parties in
terested in these changes had been.
notified. Capt. SchweitZer was asked
concerning the matter, but said that he
had received ITO notice of it, hence had
no information to give. The informa-
ton, however, came from good source
and may be considered reliable. Many
OF these changes Mayor Wright had
prepared to make some time ago, notat
bly, that of Capt. Cook, but he deferred
them for the simple reason that the
GLOBE got hold of and printed them.
