YORK rs SECOND DEPUTY.
MURPHY GIVES HIM AUTHORITY OVER
BROOKLYN INDEPENDENT
OF DEVERY.

Commissioner Murphy appointed Bernard J.
York, former president Of the Police Board. TO
be his Second Deputy Commissioner of Police
yesterday, and conferred upon him all the
powers of a former chief Of police in the Bor-
ough of Brooklyn, except the power of trans
ferring, suspending or dismissing members Of
the force. When York had been sworn in he
shook hands warmly with the First Deputy.
Devery, and each congratulated the other upon
Sis good luck The hatchet having been buried
but not so deep that it cannot be easily dug
up again-between these two old rivals. Murphy
issued a further order cutting off Devery's
powers over the Borough of Brooklyn and Civ
ing them TO York. Yorks sway is thus COM
plete in Brooklyn, while Devery's. apparently.
covers all the oGher boroughs of the city. Muir
ply also turned over 10 his two deputies the
whole adjudication Of police trials.
York was accompanied 10 headquarters by
James Shevlin. Of Brooklyn. AS the new deputy
was goirg away he was asked if he considered
himself subject 10 Devery's orders He replied:
THE management of the Brooklyn police is
left Internationally in my hands. and there will
be no interference with that management"
Later in the day Commissioner Murphy was
asked:
Do you consider Mr.. York. the Second
Deputy. in any way subordinate TO Mr. Devery
the First Deputy" and he replied:
That question has never been raised The
law makes them coordinate. Both have CO.
ordinate powers. Each looks to me as his i'm
mediate superior In of my sickness or
absence from town. the power of the Commits
sloner is by law conferred upon the First Deputy
and If the First Deputy be sick or out Of
town also, then the Second Deputy takes com
mand."
He was then asked which Deputy Commits
sioner would have charge of Queens Rorougb
the orders TO Mr.. York simply giving him charge
OF Brooklyn Borough. Commissioner Murphy
answered that question evasively saving that
u remained TO be seen which should finally take
eharge OF Queens When asked whether Queens
polcemen would be tried in BROOKLYN or in
OF the calendar.
