the wound The policemen. after dispensing the
mob, jumped on the car. which continued slow

At Eastern Parkway Stoothoff hailed the car
and told the policemen he had been shot by one
OF their number.
Several Of the officers Jumped off the car and
took him 70 the Eastern Parkway station, where

sNrrBBING THE DEPUTY CHIEF.

DEVERYs TREATMENT OF MACKELLAR
CAUSING COMMENT AND IRRITATION
To those who have had occasion 10 be around
Brooklyn Police Headquarters since the men
were sent over from Manhattan to protect en-
ployes OF the Rapid Transit company and the
passengers. II has been only too evident tnat
things were not running smoothly between
Chief of Police William S. Devery and Deputy
Chief John Mackellar
The latter is a Republican. and 1t is known
that Tammany politicians have chafed consd-
erably over their inability 10 relegate him TO the
background Now that there has come an op-
portunity for the Democratic Chief TO show his
coors. he has persistently snubbed and ignored
the head Of the Brooklyn force
OF course Deputy Chief Mackellar, who has
always been known as the silent man." would
not admit that the relations between himself
and his superior had not been Of the pleasant
est but no one who has watched the men Work
together and noticed the irritation which II has
produced the phlegmatic Mackellar can md
any other explanation.
A sergeant who has been Mackellar's aid for
some time. is a close personal friend Of Devery'
He is an energetic and capable man. and the
Chief has apparently gone over the head OF
Deputy Chief Mackellar and given personal
orders TO the men through his sergeant friend
The Deputy Chief has had the appearance OF
being a fgurehead This was especially noticed
last night. when detail after detail Of policemen
was being sent out from Headquarters to cover
the borough.
Devery was prominent. and so was the SER
geant who is the Deputy Chiefs private secre-
tary: but Mackellar had little TO say. He finally
stepped over TO Devery and seemed TO be having
a heated argument with him. He seemed TO be
protesting about something vigorously He
shook his finger nervOusly he spoke and
seemed more agtated than those who know
him had seen him for a long time
Devery kept his eyes on the files Of patrol
men. and paid almost no attention 10 what Mac
kellar was saying 10 him Deputy Chief Mac
kelar looked extremely nervous and careworn
and II could be seen that he chatting under
something. II is evident that Devery intends
70 take all the credit. II there is any. for pre-
serving order during the strike.
