JOBS FOR TWO FAITHFUL.
Il. r.. Farrell Succeeds Byrme and
]. Il. Bill Hasenfug.

Charles T. Murphy sailing master Of the Tam
many Hall lugger which. according TO the Hon.
Patrick Henry McCarren, is a pirate outht,
boldly flying the jolly roger, yesterday caused
two more good and true arti-McCarren men OF
Brooklyn to rejoice by causing them to be APP
pointed to good jobs These are the lucky men:
Thomas r. Farrell to be Deputy Water Com
missioner. Salary. $4,000.
Joseph A. BIZ to be Deputy Dock Commits
sioner Salary, $500.
Mt Farrell gets the place made vacant by the
removal three weeks ago OF Thomas F. Byrne.
who until deposed recently through James
Shevlin and Thomas r. Farrell was executive
member from Shevlins district. The appoint
nlent Is intended to keep both Farrell and Shev-
lin IN line for Murphy at the August primaries.
Ex-Aldernan Joseph A. Bill succeeds Conrad
Hasenfug McCarren leader OF the XIXth Dis
tr!ct
Yesterday was the day OF the Sunday school
anniversary parade in Brooklyn All the
Juveniles and many of the seniors expected
10 be merry and blithe yesterday. The appoint
Inent Of Farrell and Bill was meant jog to
Senator McCarren's memory that Democratic
politics in Kings just at present is not of the
Sunday school character. Down at McCarren
headquarters the Brooklyn odds-on statesman
pulled his belt hole tighter. grimly shut his
Jaws more closely together and hummed new
ditty, one verse Of which was:
oh. never mind. Con- Hasenhug.
Next fall is only four months Off
And then twill be our turn.
Messrs Byrne and Hasenhug were dropped
from the payroll several weeks ago. They are
getting over their paIned surprise.
There was story in Brooklyn yesterday that
the appointment of Farrell was not made for
the purpose of getting Shevlin TO return to
nartiPiDafiOn In IN
Inent but was the price paid him TO get out.
Far from being anxious to have Shevlin run
the movement in Brooklyn, Murphy the leader
OF Tamnany Hall. viewed with ALARM 1t was
said, the manner in which Shevlin pushing
his way 10 the front. He did not like the inter-
view given out by Shevlin, in which the latter
declared that Murphy had assured him he would
work for Parker at the st. Louis convention.
and, furthermore, that the Tammany leader
had promised him (Shevlin) that he would not
interfere with the autonomy OF Brooklyn.
When Shevlin first urged Farrell for Deputy
Water Commissioner, he told. the story
went that he could not have his wish. Finally.
when he became too insistent, he was informed
that he was hurting the movement. and that, IL
he would promise to withdraw TO the back
ground. he would be rewarded by the appoint
ment Of Farrell. If he should insist on trying
TO run things he would get neither the Farrell
appointment any other.
OTHER THINGS IN STORE.
Mr. Murphy has other things in store for Mr..
McCarren. These coming things are less de-
sirable than government bonds and corner lots.
1t is expected that red and swollen eyes will
be next observable in the Brooklyn Law De
partment now presided over by Colonel James
d. Bell. Corporation Counsel Delany has dis

with all his political goods and chattels. Mr..
Delany thinks that official afflicted with such
alarming political strabismus is out OF place

there IS Gottfried Westernacher, Deputy Bridge
Commissioner. who weighs $40 pounds and heads

COLER MAKES A STATEMENT.
IN somewhat extended statement given out
yesterday by ex-Controller CoIer he alleges that
the differences between Murphy and McCarren
Gid not arise over the Parker question, but over
the desire OF ex-Deputy Police Commissioner
Haggerty, McCarren's appointee, to enforce
policy IN Brooklyn different from the one out
lined by Mayor Mcclellan and Commissioner
AcAdoo in Manhattan. The fight Coer de-
ciares is one Ito sustain Mcclellan in his efforts

rens talk Of autonomy is nonsense and adds:
