Fulton-st. squad Of big policemen would be estab-
lished Monday morning. He has asked Deputy
Chief Mackellar TO let him know the necessary

Brooklyn has more than a hundred men who are
eligible by being six feet tail for tho Fulton
ST. squad which is TO correspond to the Broad
way Squad In Manhattan. From this number
thrty-five men will be chosen. 1t is thought by
some that the large men may not prove as efficient
in saving the throngs Of shoppers from the deadly
troley-car as their shorter brethren who are to be
removed nave been There TO be twenty men
in Fulton-st. and all of them except one VIII be
stationed in the busy shopping district. The other
will be at the crossing or Bedford ave and Full
tOn-st. The remainder OF the squad Will be sta
toned in Broadway and Court-st "
The squads headquarters vii! probably be the
Adams-st. station. The talest man on the force is
said TO belong to the Bergen-st. station.
Chief McCullagh will also have two big policemen
at the Brooklyn entrance OF the Bridge. There VIII
be two at the NewYork end on the promenade en-
trance who will have especial care OF the trolley
crossing. There will be man upstairs, too, where
there Is a large crowd during rush hours. Two
men Will be on the street between the City Hall
Park and the Bridge entrance, where traffic Is
