POLICE FOR THE PARADES
Board of Safety VIII Not Employ Ex-
ira Men.
At the meeting of the Board Of Public
Safety yesterday afternoon a conference
was held with Superintendent Colbert as to
the advisability and necessity for swearing
in number of extra patrolmen for service
tomorrow night. The superintendent
thought that the regular force would be
sufficient to handle the Republican and
Popocratic parades and the large crowds
1t had been suggested to President Mcguire
that extra men ought to be detailed to pro-
tect the residences of people in the out
districts from burglars inasmuch as a large
part of the force will have to be detailed
for the downtown districts. His attention
was called to the fact that a large number
of robberies were reported after the demon
stration of the sound-money railroaders a
couple of weeks ago. Mr.. Mcguire said
that people will be warned not to leave
their houses without some one to watch
them. He said too, that the Merchant
policemen should take extra precautions
and watch closely to guard against rob-
bers. After superintendent Colbert ex-
planned the plans that he has formulated
for Saturday night, the board decided not
l.
made that the board has no funds with
which to employ an extra detail. The
emergency fund will have to be encroached
upon to pay the salaries of regular men,
as the appropriation for their pay is mot
sufficient to run for the remainder of the
year. There is now $3.50 IN the emergency
fund What portion of it is not needed for
regular salaries will be kept in reserve for
greater emergencies than will arise Satur-
ri 10Th claw ito
men for Saturday night would further re-
duce the emergency fund at least S120. The
board fears that some great emergency
such as riot or disastrous fire, may oc-
cur, when it will be absolutely necessary to
detail a large force of extra men.
superintendent Colbert says that he has
completed arrangements for handling the
Saturday night parades and taking care of
the crowds which will be on the streets.
All the day force and half the night men
will be detailed to this work, the out dis
tricts being patrolled by single men until
after the crowds have dispersed. There
viii be a detail of men for each parade
That for the Republican parade will be in
charge of the Republican police captain,
Charles Dawson, and the force for the
Democratic parade will be under Sergeant
Corrigan. Captain Quigley is sick. Two
men will be stationed at each of the street
intersections where the parade is to pass
When asked if it would not be necessary
and expedient to appoint some special men
I'VE have not cent for the purpose and
would not recommend such appointments

pointment of extra men. One good man in
uniform is worth twenty-five extra men.
