SERGEANT THOMPSON
ASSIGNED TO DAY WORK

The sudden death Of Desk Sergeant
William H. Burkhart, of the Third pre-
cinct several weeks ago, has caused
several changes in the Poli-e d ., t.
ment.
Desk Sergeant J. Z. Thompson. on
night duty at the First precinct station
for several years, has been transferred
TO the Third precinct to fill BurkharJ's
position. Sergeant Thompson position
at the First precinct was considered one
of more Importance than the one he
now holds. The work is TO be done in
the day time. and the change is well
coined.
Desk Sergeant C. p. F. Mancosos. of
the Tenth precinct, has been detailed at
the First precinct station. This precinct,
located on Twelfth Street near Pennsyl-
vania Avenue. embraces the entire bust
ness section Of the city, and is rated
as the most important station in the
department. The night work is hard
and there is much TO do.
Sergeant MancOSOs has acquitted him
self admirably at the Tenth precinct,
and Will doubtless give satisfaction in
his new position. He has the well
wishes Of all his friends. among whom
are a large number at the First pre-
cinct.
Private H c. Russell. Of the Fourth
precinct station has been transferred 10
the Tenth precinct and promoted TO the
rank Of desk sergeant 10 take Nance
sos place.
These changes took effect today.
Major Sylvester also announces that
only twelve applicants out Of sixty who
took the civil service examination on
June 80 made the necessary avera ge.
Personal records Of successful caudi-
dates Will be investigated prior 10 being
sworn in.
Major Sylyester's plan is 10 make
public the names Of successful appH-
cauts about two weeks before they are
sworn I'm. If there is objection TO the
appointment Of any OF them Il can be
made before ne is put on the force

and Great Northern stocks If distributed
will never return 10 the market in any
volume but that on the contrary they
will tighten up and disappear entire
~ from speculation, appearing now and
then in small amounts only as invest
ment securities. The Hill following is
very bullish on Northern Securities stock
just as IL IS, irrespective of the out
come of the pending litigation.
Those who expected, when the adj
vance following the Northern SeCurt-
ties decision eliminated, in the second
week Of April that Union Pacific would
be the leader of the next big advance
in the market have not been disappOint-
ed in that stock. 1t has been the feature
