MarsbalI were formerly corporals. Ander-

mans district. Sergeant Wright is as
signed to office duty. Marshall going in as
drill instructor. Sergeant Mcdonald Will
continue the duties he so long faithfully
performed as ratrolman, namely, keeper
OF criminal records.
The new corporals, Green and Gleason,
have been assigned to duty in the Chiefs
office. The newly appointed detectives,
Anthony, Dillon and Crockett, have been
doing detective work for the last eight
years, drawing only the pay of patrolmen.
They are now placed on regular pay.
There are four sergeants and fiftyeight
patrolmen yet to be named by the Com
miSsioners. 1t is understood that these
appointments viii be made at once, in
order 10 bring the force up to the full
strength allowed by law. For the posi-
tions already filled and now remaining
open there have been over 1000 applica-
tons. 1t has been no easy matter tor the
Commissioners to segregate from this
number the ninety men required under
the new law. Chief Crowley, however, is
highly pleased with the appointments and
says that, considering age, experience and
physical condition, a better lot of men
could not have been named.
Chief Crowley was in excellent hunor
yesterday. Hisreapp ppOintment marks the
beginning of his twentyfourth year as
Chief If Police OF San Francisco. Under
the old election system he held Office seven
years and then failed OF election. He was
out six years.
When the Board of Police Commission
ers was established Mr.. Crowley made a
vigorous fight for the office of Chief, and
though he had Democratic Board to deal
with. secured the appointment. This was
sixteen years ago and he has since held
the office without interruption. During
twelve years of this time he had to deal
with board OF Democratic Commission
ers, yet, regardless OF party ties, he has
been reappointed and that, too, with but
little opposition. Chief Crowley feels that
this is strong Endorsement of his efficiency
and fitness for the office OF Chief OF Police
Captain Gillin's new district extends to
the Potrero on the south, thence along
Channel to Eleventh, along that street tC
Market, out Market to Waller and thence
to the County line.
