"CHIEF~ GALLAGHER DEGRADED.
Gen. Greene Objects to His wearing the
Insignia OF . ROmdsman.

Chief Willie Gallagher. whom every
body at Police Headquarters knows. Is
deeply offended at Commissioner Greene.
The Chief has been a semi-official errand
boy for the employees Of the building for
thirty-seven years and always wears a
uniform. sometimes that Of high official.
but more often the discarded clothes Of an
ordinary patrolman.
At one time when Devery was supreme
Gallagher sported one OF the Big Fellows
hats with the words Chief on the front
and at the same time wore a coat Of an
inspector.
A week ago the 'Chief' got a rounds
mans uniform which was almost new. II
had been the property OF Gen. Greene's
personal attendant. Burke. who was made
q sergeant recently.
Yesterday Commissioner Greene saw
Willie playing with lot OF children In
Houston street. and thinking that an I'M
dignified thing for a roundsman, ordered
an investigation. Upon learning who the
roundsman was Gen. Greene ordered that
he be stripped Of the department decora-
lions and a big cop. armed with jack knife,
left the Chief" with a coat minus brass but
tons and chevrons.' Willie says that Gen
Greene Is shine and adds, If me

POLICEMAN TWICE REINSTATED
Partridge Put Cunningham or the Force
but Chose the Wrong Times.


Police Commissioner Greene yesterday
was compelled to reinstate James l..
Cunningham. who had been twice dropped
by ex-Commissioner Partridge. Cunning
ham was first dismissed in May, 1902, by
Col. Partridge. The patrolman was then
doing probationary duty and had 81 days
yet to serve.
Col. Partridge objected to him because
he appeared to be underlined. Cunning
ham hired Q lawyer. who found that the
Commissioner had no right to dismiss .
man who was on probation, and got from
the Supreme Court . writ Of mandamus
ordering Partridge TO restore his client. j..
COL. Partridge restored him and instructed
Chief Clerk Kpp. to dismiss Cunning
ham as soon as his period OF probation
ended. Col. Kipp forgot about the case.
and when he did remember it Cunningham
had been a full policeman for II hours and
10 minutes.
However, Col. Partridge ordered his
name stricken from the roll, and Lawyer
Louis j. Grant again took the case to the
courts. Justice Bischoh. who heard the
complaint. decided that Col. Partridge
erred In removing Cunningham the second
time on the ground that he was then q
regular member OF the Police Department
and could only be dismissed after q trial.
Gen. Greene In restoring him TO duty
sent him to a Brooklyn precinct. Cunning
ham gets all his back pay from the time
he was dismissed.

Yesterdays session Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. which In hearing
William r. Hearst's charges against the
anthracite roads, was mostly devoted To
arguments between Clarence j. Shearn, the
petitioners lawyer, and the counsel Of the
various railroads.

tween the Temple Iron Company and the
Lehigh Valley, the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western, the Erie. the Jersey Central and
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad COM
panies which guarantee the dividends of the
iron company.
The Temple Iron Company owns eight
collieries near Scranton, and Lawyer Shearn
contended that these contracts would show
an illegal combination Of the railroads In
the control of the iron company. which, he
declared had been bought by the railroads
in order to drive independent operators
out of business.
Secretary Hebbard Of the Guaranty
Trust Company, the trustee under the con-
tracts, was in court with the documents,

them up. The commission has the matter
under advisement.

lute control OF many Of the fierce tribes
men Of that country, and several britlsn
him have been defeated, principally be-
cause Of the utter worthlessness OF the

The depredations Of the Mullah in northern

8 in 1902 After gaining several victories
the British under Col Swayne were de-
feated at Erego on Oct. Q last. Their losses
were 20 killed and 100 wounded. The de,
feat was due 70 the cowardice OF the Somah
leviee. Col. Swsyne then retired TO his

Heavy losses were suffered by the Mulah's
