In regard to reports to the contrary, Acting
Chief Of Police McCullagh said yesterday that
the rural parts Of the city had never been 80
p~roperly policed and that Long Island City was
perfectly protected. All arrangements now In
force are. Of course. In q great degree tentative
and temporary, but the Acting Chief IN Of the
opinion that they are quite adequate until q
permanent organization Of the police In the out
lying districts has been effected. Before this
can be done, however, many puzzlinG questions
must be settled, especially those in reference
10 the status Of thcspolico In the various towns,
end tho solution of these questions will be tho
nrst work OF tho new Board Of Police.
As tho matter now stands, Acting Chief Nc
Oullagh has all tho borough Of Queens, whore
the trouble, IL any, is expected to arise, close In
touch with himself through his own representa-
tives, mon In Long Island City detailed from
the borough of Brooklyn, and In the other parts
Of Queens from the borough OF Manhattan.
He remained in his Office until 1 o'clock yester-
day morning perfecting the details Of the tenn
porary arrangements, and was at hand again
while the day was comparatively young. He
stayed in his office all day long, waiting for
something TO happen. Nothing did, and he was
therefore quito satisfied that his arrangements
met all the needs that arose.
Long Island City was the first part of the city
which claimed his attention. A peculiar stu
alton exists there, for within the last hundred
days former Mayor Patrick jerome Gleason
took matters into his own hands and made many
changes in the personnel Of the police force Of
that place. There is o question whether these
now men can continue in office in the now great
or city. At first 1t was thought that they would
resist any effort to displsce them. and the state
Of affairs caused considerable worry In Mul.
berry street. But the worry was for nothing,
as the Long Island City mon decided to step
aside and await whatever action the Police
Board might take in their case. Accordingly,
Acting Chief Mccgsllagh relieved from duty two
trolmen who had been appointed within, the last

The acting Chief learned. of no friction yes
terday, and felt fairly well satisfied with his
work. The precinct returns from tho new
parts of the city came in promptly yesterday
morning, and there was nothing on them 10
indicate that the enlarged city of New York
did not pass 9 quiet and peaceful New Years
Day. Under the present arrangement the dis
tricts OF Manhattan and Bronx continue to
fires, and ambulanc" coils, no matter how
other boroughs will send in only the more i'm
portant occurrences. Richmond sent in some
Geographic reports on Saturday. Brooklyn
sent nothing until late yesterday afternoon.

of being the first man arrested In Brooklyn
