POLICE FORCE
INCREASED
New Men Appointed at the
Meeting Of the Board
Last Night.
PATR0LMEN PROMOTED
Acting Officers Of the First
Grade Get Full Rank and
Second Grade Men
Are Advanced.

The Police Board held an important
meeting last night at which forty-six
new members were appointed and many
acting patrolmen promoted
Much interest was centred in the face
of the petition circulated by Lawyer John
Heck and other prominent residents of
the Fourth police precinct requesting the
Board to rescind its resolution dismissing
Patrolman Thomas Kelly from the force.
Kelly was dismissed for being too enthus-
iastic for Murphy at a polling place, act
ing in an alleged disorderly manner and
calling Mayor Pagan vile name. The
community at large appears to think that
Kelly's actions did not warrant his dis
missal. The Board received Mr.. Hech's
petition in its private room and referred
it to the committee of the whole.
OF the forty-six men appointed to the
force FIVE are from the First Ward, six
from the Second and six from the Fifth
Mayor Fagan's ward.) The other wards
got from one to three. No ward was left
