A KNELL FOR DEVERY MEN
PARTRIDGE MAKES
FIRST OF TRANSFERS TO WEAKEN
EX-CHIEFS INFLEENCE.

Police Commissioner Partridge yesterday
made the first OF his transfers that can be called
political transfers 1t was the start or a series
which will continue slowly for some time. so
slowly as not to come under the head OF a
"shake-up." but in which the friends and fol-
lowers of ex-Chief Devery will be taken from
their advantageous positions and men who are
known by Commissioner Partridge put in their
stead.
The transfers made by the Commissioner
were those Of Sergeant John 1. zimmerman
and Roundsman Cornelius S. Casey from the
Essex Market police court, the former to the
Union Market station, and the latter to the East
One-hundred- d-and-fourth-st. station. and Of
Roundsman Charles Haeussler from the East
Northumberland -fourth-st. station to the court,
where he will be in command.
AS soon as the transfers were announced it
was remarked at headquarters that it was the
beginning Of the end for friends of Devery. 1t
has been a well known fact that the ex-chef
when he got absolute control Of the machinery
Of the Police Department, placed friends on
whom he could depend in all the places in the
department where they could exert their intiu-
ence even in the Low administration, and look
cut for the interests Of himself and his friends
zimmerman AMI Casey were both put in Es
sex Market court by the ex-Chief. They are
known 10 be his adherents. Roundsman Haeuss-
Ter mas heen doing duty so long uptown that
ne is not we'll known at Police Headquarters
II is known, however, that Commissioner Par
trldge has learned enough about him TO place
great dependence on him.
The Police Commissioner said few days ago
that he wanted 10 go slow and be sure Of his
men before making changes in the department
but that he intended TO make changes tending
70 weaken DeverY Influences which are still
strong. Yesterdays transfers were the first
that the Commissioner has made with this def
mite purpose in view. Sergeant zimmermann's s
place VIII not be filled I'm the court. It is un-
derstood that the Commissioner believes that
the court is we'll enough off in the hands of a

Albany March Ex-senator Brackett intro
duced a bill TO-DAY to relieve the crowded condi-
tion Of the calendars Of the courts in the First

ure." Senator Bracketts motion to advance the
bill however. was defeated by Senator McCar-
rer. who not only attacked it. but gave notice
that he would make every effort TO defeat II.

In commenting on the bill Senator Bracket
said:
II all the Supreme Court justices Of New

justices do, and as hard as they ought % WoFA'
they could clear M the calendars in TWO years.
My last bill is intended especially 70 prevent JUS
ticeS from running down to Nev-YCrF for the
extra $50 day. The bill Will further prevent
upstate justices from drawing money for work
they do at home when they carry back truck
load Of briefs ard write their opinions while All
the time drawing $50 per day from New-York.
Governor Cden said tonight that he believed
that the Brackett bill described above would
supersede all the bills which had been intro
duced for a similar purpose this year. He added
that his entire concern in the matter had been
TO provide sufficient justices for all the dis
tricts Complaints had been made 70 him that
judges Of the supreme Court were in New-YOrk
who were needed their districts. One
time recently only one Supreme Court Judge

district. and he was in county distant from
the chief city of that district. The Governor
added that he had strong hope for the bill rec
commended by the Chamber of Commerce ot
New-YOrk providing for the appointment of

latiOn of causes before the courts OF Nev-Tork
and report to the next legislature the means
that should be adopted TO decrease the number
