POLICEMEN ON BIKES.
Chief Murphy's Proposition to
Put a Stop to the Annoyance
to Wheelmen on the
Boulevard.

As a protection for bicycle riders against
assault and insult, Chiea of Police Muir
ply yesterday. afternoon recommended to
the Police Commissioners that at least
six policemen be mounted on wheels.
The Chief says that this will not only
enable the policemen to keep a sharp
lookout for rowdies who modest wheel
men bat will also enable them to patrol
side streets on the Hill more efficiently.
The Chiefs attention has been called to
the fact that IN passing through
streets leading to the Hill from
down town and in streets on the Hill
leading to the Boulevard, riders are con
stantly subjected to insult, particularly
ladies, and in some instances assault. He
has had detectives out looking for the
rowdies who interfere with the. riders.
but to no avail. He now expresses it as
his opinion that a half dozen mounted
policemen will be able to put an end to
further trouble. The Chiefs request viii
doubtless receive the support Of organized
AND unattached wheelmen, and it is be-
ieved the request will be granted.
The Chief says if the Commissioners
will buy the wheels he will find the men
to ride them. There are dozens of po-
licemen who ride well. This is particu-
larry TRUE Of the men of the Gregory
street station. Frank Bennett, for the
last two months, has been Instructive
some of his side partners. AS a con
sequence, a ounted squad could be or
ganized in that precinct alone. William
keefe. Frank Kelly, John Quinn and
Charlie Sturges are all scorehers. Chief
Murphy will doubtless put those men on
the bicycle squad if the Commissioners
decide to create such a body.
Thomas F. Dickinson and John ]. Con-
nors were appointed chancemen yester-
Gay. Upon the recommendation of Police
Surgeon Nevin, Roundsman Louis McIn-
tyre was retired on half pay. Louis Me-
lntyre is one of the best liked men in
the department. He has always held the
respect of his superiors for the prompt
ana Intelligent manner in which he per
formed his duties. He is suffering, it is
neiisved, from consumption. He is going
70 Colorado to recover his health if pos
sible. George Beatty was transferred
from The Fourth to the Sixth precinct.
AT Chief Murphy's request $500 was APP
propriated for the purchase of the Bar
tillon system of rogue identiacation
There is a central bureau at Washington
D. C., to which pictures and descriptions
of every crook captured in the United
States and Canada are sent. Copies are
made and forwarded to the Chiefs of
Police all over the two countries. IN this
way track is kept of every crook and
enables the police to recognize them
when they enter a city or town. The
system was adopted at the recent con-
vention of Chiefs Of Police In Atlanta
Ga.
