ElLert and Coleman Ready to Become
Police Commissioners.
The rumor current last night that he
had been appointed Police Commissioner
came as a surprise to James V. Coleman.
When spoken to at the Palace Hotel Mr..
Coleman said that he had received no Off
cial notification of his appointment. The
fact had been conveyed to him through an
informal channel of his appointment.
"Will you accept the appointment"
was asked.

cept."
when you receive official notification
of your appointment will you make an
effort to take your seat?"
81 would not care to express an opinion
regarding that until I receive an official
communication about the matter. Another
thing, would not do anything until I saw
Mr.. Ellert, who, / understand, has also
been appointed, or is to be appointed, and
Mr. Menzies. l would talk the matter
over with them and see what action we
would ultimately take. As regards the
legality of our appointment, if it is true
that we are to be appointed,
l.
would not, and neither Mr.. Ellert nor Mr.
Menzies would think for moment of ac-
cepting, unless we thought the Governor
had the appointing power. Of course, I
presume in the event of our appointments
being confirmed, the Supreme Court will
have to pass upon the matter, as the pres
ent officials will appeal to it. That is all l
can say regarding the matter. have only
heard that l have oeen appointed If it is
true and l am confirmed in the Office, /
will do my best to carry out all the duties
to the best of my ability"
| Mr.. Ellert was seen at his residence, 1915
Webster street. at II 40 last night, and
said that he had heard nothing, but he
did not seem surprised. He said: 81 have
not sought the Office in any way, nor have
l had any notification, private or official,
that have had that such thing was pos
sible was what l read in the morning pa
pers of yesterday. 1 have made no appli-

to the best of my ability. l thought was
out of politics altogether, but it seems not.
AS to what will do if 1 am installed as
Police Commissioner, that is a matter I
could not now talk about. I shall have to
wait until am in Office before 1 say any
thing about reforms that l may think are
needed in the Police Department. But, as
l said before, as yet do not know that I
have been appointed"

Mr.. Menzies stated last night that, so
far as he is concerned, the case is in statu

locate himself in the Police Commission,
but he may resume activity next Monday
night.

the best course to pursue" he said. "I
suggested that perhaps it would be ad-
visable for me to attend the session of the
Police Commissioners Monday night and

Lacour would not grant his request, and,
believing that NJ. de Baudry d 'Asson was
only going to make one of his familiar
affirmations OF devotion to the monarchy
and the papacy, the President refused to
hear him. On the other hand, NJ. Challe-

resented every profession.
NJ. Aveyron la Barthe, Moderate Repub-
iean, was the first to deposit ballot in
the urn. When the name of NJ. Leon Mir
man, Radical Socialist, who is obliged to
serve in the army, although he represents
one of the districts of Reims in the Cham
Der of Deputies, was called, the Socialists
sprang to their feet and loudly protested
against his absence. In spite of their pro-
tests, however, the roll-call was continued.
When the name of NJ. Edmond Toussaint,
Socialist, was called he spoke:

LExOW COMMITTEE REPORT.
Changes Recommended IA, the Netc YorE
Police Department..

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 1.-THE report OF
the Lexow Committee, embodying the re-
suits of it's protracted investigation of the
New York Police Department, was to-day
submitted to the Senate. The report de-
tails the work of the committee. 1t recon-
mends the concentration of power in the
hands of Chief of Police; the es-
tablishment of a bipartisan Board
of Police Commissioners with exclusive
authority over elections on the force, in
conformity with civil service rules; the ex-
animation of the accounts of the depart
ment in the same manner that other
departments of municipal government are
examined; the reorganization of the Police
Department by commissioners, who shall
cooperate with the Mayor, and the con-
tinuance of the committee of investigation.
Senator Canton is the only member OF
the committee who does not sign the
report.

bers from country districts on the commit
tee, as he believes they will be able to act
Independently.
Governor Budd will probably make no
changes in the Police Commission of San
Francisco for several days. He has heard
that Commissioners Tobin and Alvord say
they will not recognize Stewart Menzies.
He will now let them back up their asser-
ton by action. If, at the next meeting OF
the Police Commission, the commission OF
Stewart MenZies is ignored, then he will
act and act promptly by the probable ap-
pointments of ex-Mayor Pond and ex-
Mayor Ellert.
Governor Budd had announced that he
would name the trustees of the State
Normal School at San Jose and the Regis
trar of Voters for San Francisco to-day.
The last protest against Clunie went in to-
night, when John Daggett, superintendent
of the Mint, walked into the Governor S
office and asked that Clunie be denied the
position. Sam Braunhart is backed up for
the place by a petition to the Governor
signed by nearly every Democratic member
of the Legislature.

The main point now considered by the
Perkins management is to hold their forces
close together. Whether they admit it or
not they cannot help recognizing the fact
that several of Perkins ayowed supporters
are half hearted. They do not cling to
their man with an enthusiasm and strong
personal attachment. The degree of
warmth for Perkins is not increased by his
presence or diminished by his absence.
The position of De Young's canvass is
unchanged. His positive strength has not
developed in caucus or conference, and as

ator Martin proved the great objector. He

intention to vote for Perkins, whom he de-
clared to be good man.
Senator Arms offered a resolution that
the members present be allowed to vote for
whom they pleased, so long as the candi-
date was a Democrat Chairman Lange-
nour promptly tabled the resolution,
ruling that the passage of such resolution
would be caucus measure. There was an
attempt to have the resolution considered,
but the majority was against such action.
