Police Commissioner Greene did not make his
accustomed Sunday tour Of the city yesterday The
Commissioner said last night that he had returned
from Buffalo at such a late hour Saturday
night as to preclude any possibility Of his making
his weekly tour.
In regard to the reinstatement of ex-Police Cap
tain Chapman who has made Application Tor rem
statement General Greene said:
do not know that the application has been made
oficiaIIy TO me. or whether II has been made un-
of1ciaIIy There several reasons why the
"a ntain should not be reappointed. No man
who has been removed from Office and placed on

list for any reason. While ! have charge OF the
department I do not propose that such precedent
shall be established.

Department by the Rev. Dr. Cortland Myers. of
