MENTIONED


The action Of the Board Of Police

ing Patroman Frank Monahan a
month leave Of absence was the subject
Of discussion hast night in political and
police circles Members OF the depart
ment who are members of the State Pa
troinl@l's Association, of which Mona
han is the president, boasted Of Mona
hans pull and We're not a bit choice in
their language in reference TO Chief MUIR
phys refusal to approve the patrolmalfs
application for a leave Of absence. No
effort was made to conceal the fact that
Monahan's purpose III submitting his APP
plication was to be at Trenton daring

semhlyman Scott, the Republican mem
Der from the county which has the ap-
proyal of the Patrolnlen's Association
While the Republican leaders are
pledged to the support Of the measures.
and the Indications are that all three OF
them will become laws. it was thought
wise to have a representative in constant
attendance at the Legislative sessions 10
guard against any hitch. Monahan, as
president OF the association, was Sc
lected for this important mission. Chief
Murphy was aware Of this when the
patrolman submitted his application for
a months leave Of absence. The Chief,
30 is a stickler for discipline, did not
approve of the proposition of having a
patrolman lobbyist at Trenton, and for
that reason he declined to o. K. Mona
hans application. It was humiliating
to the Chief to have the Police Commis-
sioners go over his head in matter Of
this kind and persons who are familiar
with the conditions that exist at pres
ent are not slow in declaring that the
Commissioners are politically bound to
any proposition the Patrolmen's Asso-
citation may care TO advocate. There is
more politics in the police department at
the present time than before the tenure
of Office law was enacted i is alear

ICE FREAKS IN COOPER PLACE


People who have occasion to pass
through Cooper Place, as a short cut be-
tween Gregory street and Newark ave-
nue., should take the east sidewalk. The
drain pipes leading down from the roof
Of Police Headquarters building, like
the building ITSELF have been detective
for some years When the snow melts
and water begins to flow down the
several drain pipes on the east side of
the building and a cold snap comes on,
the water outside of the pipes freezes
and almost the whole eastern side of the
building is sheathed with ice. The main
columns adhering to the pipes weigh
.nearly a ton and are fantastic beyond de-
scription. Huge icieless or rather stalac-
tytes ornament various sections of the
columns, and the weight Of these causes
them to drop, often dragging big blocks
of solid ice with them. Some of these
are heavy enough to crush persons

Efforts were made yesterday TO dis
lodge the sheathing Of ice but it proved
a difficult task and burt little heatlway
was made With last nights fall Of
