Police Commissioner Greene let 1t be
! known Yesterday that he intended to remain
in his Office untilthe first of the year. The
| Commissioner said that he would go right
ahead as if Mayor Low had been reelected.
There was much speculation among the
rank and file concerning the changes that
| will be made on Janal. One of the first
changes expected by Tammany is the
return of the inspectors to Offices at head
| quarters. Gen. Greene shifted them to
station houses in their districts.
A question asked on all sides was: what
will happen to Walsh and Schmittberger2'
These two inspectors have been made
! under Gen. Greene's administration and
| have been favored highly. Neither has
ever been popular with Tammany, and
Schmittberger is hated by the Tiger more,
perhaps. than any cop. Ever since his so
called "squeal" at the Lexow investigation
he has been a marked man.
1t is probable that Tammany will never
get a chance to pound" Schmittberger.
He has an offer of backing to start a private
detective agency. Walsh will probably.

While the higher up policemen were
greatly elated over Tammany's victory
yesterday, it was quite apparent that they
did not consider the future tranquil one.

years for q return Of good government.
