MR.. MADOO IN CHARGE.
THINKS Burgld'ies Not E.rcessiUe-
Has Not Chosen Deputy.

Police Commissioner McAdoo returned TO
Muberry-st from the wilds of Massachusetts,
yesterday. exhibiting much mental and physi-
cal visor as TO iscredit the report that he might
plead illness and allow Deputy Commissioner
NcAvoy to run the department until after cleo
ficn. He said he going to remain the head
OF the Police Department so long as Mayor Nc
Ciellan suited with him He discreditsc
the recent talk about his being nominated by
Tammany for District Attorney by saying he
would not be candidate for any office other
than the one he now holds. This regarded
st Headquarters as another indication that Tam
many will indorse District Attorney Jerome.
Mr. McAdoo said he generally well
pleased with the way Deputy Commissioner Nc
Avoy had been running the department for SIX
weeks AS 10 the recent increase of burglaries
IN the city. he said:
There has been the same increase Of such rob
berries every year Such burglares occur in all
the cities at times when people close their
houses and go away In the summer have
called for a report the number OF burglarleS
occurring in the city during the month Of Au-
gust, and ] believe il will show that there has
been decrease in the number of August burg
laries this year. instead Of an increase. COM
pared with the hurglaries in August IN previous
years.
Commissioner McAdoo said he had brought
one new idea back from Massachusetts. and
though he would try ii in effort to stop reck-
less driving of automobiles In the streets. He
explained the scheme follows:
In Massachusetts two more policemen Sc
crete themselves behind a clump of bushes on
of the State roads and have beside them
q telephone. When automobile passes. the
exact time to the minute is noticed and the
number of the machine taken. Immediately
such information is telephoned 10 other police
men who stationed behind a Clump of bushes
further down the road, and if the automobile
ISIS exceeded the speed limit when II reaches
the next telephone station. red flag is waved
in front of it and the driver is warned. On the
second offence the driver is summoned TO court.
but at all times the first violation is only a
warning. I don't know if the system would
work here. but have asked the inventor of 1t
TO come to New-York. that / go over
the whole subject thoroughly with him.
Mr.. McAdoo said he had not selected any
person TO fill the vacancy caused by the death
OF Deputy Commissioner Lindsey and he did
not intend to appoint another deputy for some
time. He declined TO say what names of cam
didates for the place had been presented to him.
