NO EIGHT HOUR TOUR OFDUTY
BUT NEW POLICE PLAN WILL BE MORE
LIKE OLD THREE PLATOON S1S-
TEN THAN PRESENT ONE

Great as is the official secrecy regarding the
nature Of the report TO be submitted TO Mayor
Low by the commission appointed to investigate
and report improvements in the present
system of administering the Police Department
certain details of this report are becoming
known. II will not recommend a return to
the old three platoon system Certain essential
features Of that system OF duty, including the
eight hour tour. will not be recommended.
On the other hand the new system will
probably resemble more closely in its
general nature the old three platoon sys-
TEN than the system now in vogue, The
subject has been investigated with great care.
Mr.. PhiIbin. who formerly supporter Of
the three platoon system. has, after long study.
decided that with its eight hour feature it is un-
satisfactory. that the tour of duty consequent
this cannot be performed by patrolmen with
out negleet OF duty. a four plaroCn system has
been the burden of a number of rumors that
have been circulated in the last few days. The
truth is. so far as the advance reports can be
secured, that the scheme will be neither
a return 10 the three platoon system. nor yet
a continuance of the present system so deeply
dsliked by large number OF the members OF
and particularly Mr. Philbin. have worked out
a system which they believe carries with il the
best hours and arrangements for the patrolmen
COnsonant with proper protection OF the safety
and property of the public and the preservation
of discipline. This Is not the three platoon Sys-
tem as il tried in the Colonel NJ. c. Murphy
regime IL is modification OF the three platoon
system

INSTEAD OF HITTING THE APPLE HE
KILLED A BARBER-PANIC IN HALL.

Cold Spring Harbor, N Y. Oct. &c. John
Volkman. a barber. who employed by
George Van AusdaH was accidentally shot and
killed last night on the stage of Thespian Hall
by Charles NIeinel of the Microbin Company,
which has been giving a show for two weeks
there in connection with the sale OF medicine.
One of the star features OF the show was Mein-
els feat of shooting an apple from the head OF
any person who would volunteer 70 stand up
and allow the apple 10 have his head for a rest

of the troupe performed this service
Saturday afternoon while at work Volkman
expressed a willingness 10 act as the holder Of
the apple. and those who were in the shop tried
TO dissuade him from taking the risk His en-
ployer made an effort TO keep him from going to
the hall
Meinei did not appear to be in good shooting
trim last night, and had been teered because
he had missed card at which he had been
shooting. When Volkman had had the apple
placed on his head he was placed in position,
and the present day William Tell began shoot
ing at a distance of about twenty feet. The
first two shots failed TO hit either the apple or
the man. but the third shot struck Volkman
in the forehead and he dropped on the stage.
There was a panic in the hail. which was
