IMPROVES HARB0R SQUAD.
Brooklyn and Manhattan an One
SyStem-PatroLmen as Pilots.

Police Commissioner Greene announced yes
terday that he considering changes in the
Harbor Squad, leading to the reorganization Of
this department of the police service, which, he
expected, would add to it's strength and eff
cheney. As at present constituted the squad is
divided between Manhattan and Brooklyn, with
four launches in the latter borough. The Com
missioner intends to consolidate the two sys-
TENS, bringing the jurisdiction over them in the
Forty-second Precinct. This, he said. would
enable the launches to be used wherever it is
TO the best advantage, and would insure better
accommodations for the men. He also intends
he said, to establish a sub-station at Clifton
Staten Island, which, being near the mouth OF
the harbor, would enable the to handle
casees Of emergency. such as the shanghai case
Of last summer. In speaking of the proposed
changes General Greene said.
Last week I appointed Patroman John Dwyer
as a rOundsman. and placed him master OF
the steamer Patrol on account Of his skill and
experience and general fitness. have the
names of six other men the eligible list
whose appointment as rOundsmen I consid-
ering. The first three are DobeTt, Hallock and
Koran.
Under the present arrangement a launch is
under the control Of a rOundsman taken from
the shore, who knows nothing Of nautical af
fairs, but still has the power to direct the pilot
who does know. The idea is to appoint rounds
men who will have the knowledge and will be
in command and direct the pilots.

Req. DR.. j. o. Wilson's Daughter
Operated on for appendicitis.

Although Miss Florence Wilson. daughter of the
Rev. DIR. James o. Wilson. pastor of the Nostrand
Avenue Methodist Church Brooklyn, has been blind
for more than six months only the intimate friends
OF the family have been aware of it. For months
the entire household been IN the shadow OF the

that the young woman's sight may be entirely re-
stored in time.
DR.. Wilson was for seven years pastor OF 81 An
drew's Methodist Church I'm Manhattan, and Is
well known in that denomination. Miss Florence
Wilson. the eldest of three daughters, is twenty
three years old. She senior in the Baltimore

by appendicitis. An operation, performed in
private sanatorium, seemed successful. but blood
poisoning set in For weeks the physicians battled
against this, and the young woman was slowly re-
gaming her strength when suddenly she became
blind. The doctors say that clot of the diseased
blood had so lodged to paralyze the optic nerves
AT first il thought that the clot might aI1ect
Miss Wilson's brain, but such fear proved ground
less. She brought To- her fathers home, No
419 GreeneaVe., Brooklyn. and has since been under
the care OF specialists
Miss Wilson WAS of the brightest scholars in
her class and the faculty OF the Baltimore Wom-
ems College decided that she should be graduated
