CHIEF MURPHY's CHANGES.
Doing Away with "Soft Snaps''-
I.aure to Re INSPECTION

Doing Away With "SOft Snapso-
Lange to he Inspector.
Chief Murphy is making a number of
changes in the government of the Police De-
partlnent. The reserve system is operated
now in such a manner that from three to six
men are kept on duty day and night at all
the station houses. Under the old rule
the reserve men were allowed to
go home or anywhere they liked.
When an alarm for fire wa sounded
they reported to the station house as soon as
possible. AS a result, fires were frequently
extinguished before half of them had re-
ported at the station house. The Chief
thought the method would prove disastrous
in case of riot. Tn new rule will be so en-
forced that the men will have to do reserve
duty but once in eight days.
The s'soft snap men are to be made to do
regular duty. In the past, certain cop
persi' have been detailed to do special duty.
Special duty is what is known as a soft
snap.n The men will all haye a turn at
these places in future. An excellent change
is one which prevents Captains from trans
ferring men from one post to another.
The same men will cover posts
day and night unless changed
by the chiefs order. The Police Board
meets this afternoon, and it is understood
that Captain Lange is to be reinstated as In
spector. The rumor that the Seventh and
Fourth precincts are to be consolidated is
wi bout foundation, Sergeants McGuiness
and Cox are candidates to succeed Captain
Lange.

difficult a situation. We have not a
word to say in criticism of his hon.
esty, nor Of his competency SO FAR as
mere knowledge is concerned. AS one
of three Republican Commissioners
he would be an excellent selection.
But to enter the board to fight a sim
gle handed battle is a very different
thing, and we do not think Mr.. Mo
Arthur has the aggressive force for it.
We think a large majority of citizens,
republicans and democrats alike,
think just as we do.
The man who would go single
handed into the board should be a
man of very high standing and OF
positive and determined character.
Mr.. John M. Jones will occur to
every one as just the type of man
that is wanted. William George Nell
son would be a good selection, Robert
McAndrew. s. L. Harvey, Charles
Judge or Henry Holmes would also De
acceptable appointments.
It is likely, however, that the prob
lem of filling the single place will not
confront Mayor Wanser, and he will
be able to appoint Mfr. Macarthur and
a cou pie OF the others, besides.

EPISCOPAL ASSISTANT BISHOP.
Matter to Come Before the Ccnven

Matter to Come Before the COnven-
tion-Dr. Stoddard Mentioned.
It Is understood that at the annual con-
vention of the Episcopal Church OF the do
cese of Newark, which will be held in New
ark the first of next month, Right Rev.
Bishop Starkey will ask that he be given an
assistant. The Bishop is getting along in
years, and the duties have increased to some
extent since the Bishop was appointed.
There are a number of candidates for the
position, and as the Office is greatly priced
because of the liability to succession to the
Bishopric. there will probably be some very
brisk ecclesiastical -eleetioneering. The
names that are most prominently mentioned
in connection with the position are those OF
Rev. George M. Christian, rector OF Grace
Church, Newark, Rev. DR.. Stoddard OF this
city, and a Philadelphia minister who would
like the appointment.
To be elected an assistant bishop the can
didate has to be voted upon by the clergy
and confirmed by a majority vote at. the
convention, and then the lay members OF the
convention nave to vote, a majority being
required in that vote also. Then the matter
comes up before the members of the various
parishes, and there is more voting. Ii a ma
jority of the parishes of this diocese COM
mend the candidate his name goes before
the higher powers of the church, and the
bishops all over the country have a vote be-
fore he can consider himself elected. Then
there is the installation service.

street is soon to a the Hveiiest kim OF a
competitor.
The Armour Beef Company has consurn-
mated a deal whereby it will establish a
mammoth abattoir on the banks OF the
Hackensack. 1t has been known amongst
real estate men that such a project was
under consideration, but not until yesterday
was it known that the matter had been
definitely settled. The building of the
abattoir on the Hackensack has a special
significance to real estate men and to owners
of property along the water 'front.' In the
first place, the operation of a big abattoir

least. 1t will attract men engaged in the
killing ans dressing business from adjoining
cities. Their presence will create a healthy
demand for small, cheap houses, The enter
prise may also attract others, and dealers

be lined with big manufactures. The loca-
tion of the business on the meadows is re-
