A CHANCE IN POLICE BEATS
MORE OLDER OFFICERS TO BE CHEN PERMANENT DAT DUTY.

The Change to Go Into Effect To-mor' roxv-T,yo New Men to be Placed on Duty on tho Campus and PRtrolmsn DonneIIy and Wiser Who Have Been Detailed There for Years VIII Go on Regular Duty.
 The efficiency committee of tho board
 of police commissioners has been busy
 lately and as a result of the observa-
 tions and Investigations of the com
 mittee a considerable shifting of beats
 will go into effect tomorrow, the first
 of March.
 There are a number of permanent
 day beats, the officers in charge of
 which are permanently on day duty,
 not changing to night duty during a
 part of the year as do the other mem-
 bers of the force. On the force are
 number of men well advanced in
 years, sixty years or more of age, who have been on the force for terms rang
 ing from twenty to thirty one years. It is now proposed to place these men so far as possible and the efficiency of the department will admit on per manent day duty.
 Then in order that there may be no jealousy, the men thus detailed will TO- tate from one detail to another, the ob- ject of this being to prevent any of the men from thinking that they have a patent" on any particular place of duty.
 The changes in beats which will go into effect tomorrow are as follows: Patrolman John Allen, who has been on day duty at the square at the junction of Church street, Congress avenue and George street, will go on the regular tour of duty, alternating day and night duty. For some time an officer has been sta toned days at the public H. brary and this beat will now be discon- tinued, no officer to be stationed there in the future.
 Patrolman B. J. Reilly. who has been stationed at Cedar Hill depot days, will be sent back to regular duty and Vet eran Reserve Officers McAvoy and Hart, both old men, will be stationed there each to be on duty q half day every day one in the forenoon and one in the afternoon.
 On account of the illness of City Court Officer Jackson, Patrolman John Grant. one of the oldest members of the force, has been detailed for city | court duty Patrolman Lanigan, an old l officer. will be detailed for day duty at l Belle dock succeeding there Patrolman l younger man, who will go l on regular duty. Patrolman Maurice | Connolly, another veteran officer, will | go on duty as doorman at Station No. | on Grand avenue and Patrolman l 5champ, who has been stationed there, | will go on regular duty.
 Patrolman Pickering, one of the older l nen, has been detailed for permanent luty on Broadway.
 The men thus put on permanent day iuty will be from time to time trans erred from one beat to another in or Ter to keep up the rotation mentioned ,bove, but the length of time for which they will be stationed in a par icular place has not yet been deter nined.
 One other change decided upon to go nto effect tomorrow Is change in the ollege beat For several years, ever ince the stationing of policemen on he campus was inaugurated, Patrol nen Donnelly and Wiser have been on uty there nights. Now two other of- cers, McManus and Seaman Smith, Jill be stationed there and Donnelly nd Wiser will go on regular duty gain The two new campus men will oth be stationed there at once. Be- inning tomorrow Donnelly will go on agular duty and McManus will go to 1e campus for duty there with Wiser. fter McManus becomes familiar with 1e campus duty Seaman Smith will e stationed there with him and Wiser ill go on regular duty.
