ceeded upon the assumption that
Justice Morris intended retiring, and
announced the appointment of the
Maryland man. Justice Morris said
he wasn't ready to get out right then,
and the McComas appointment was
deferred, but it was everywhere
known to be forthcoming when JUS
tice Morris should finally make up
his mind.
The change is TO take place July 1, the
beginning of the new fiscal year. The CON-
mission OF MI. McComas was signed before
the President left Washington at $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon. This was the
last act of the President before he left the
White House to take train. During the
summer Mr.. McComas will pay some visits
and get his affairs ready to enter upon his
work. The return TO the bench Of the Dis
trict is most agreeable to him.
Justice Morris wrote President Roosevelt
a letter last December which was inter-
preted by the President as being the inten-
ton of the justice to retire early in the
spring Acting upon this Interpretation the
President on May 19 announced that he had
decided to appoint Mr.. McComas to the va
cancy. Justice Morris complicated matters
by declining to retire at that time.
Although a citizen of Maryland, Mr. Nc
Comas has been closely Identified with the
District for many years. He was always
generous in his treatment of the District
while In Congress, including his last six
years senator. He was elected 10 the
Senate while serving associate justice OF
the Supreme Court of the District to which
he was appointed by President Harrison.
Personal Sketch.
Mr. McComas was for eight years rep
resentative in Congress from Maryland,
and served his first term on the District of
Columbia committee. and for three years
on the appropriations committee, and In
special charge CT the appropriation bill OF
the District Of Columbia. In those days he

ABOLITION OF OFFICE
POSITION OF PRECINCT DETECT-
I'VE CEASES TO EXIST.

Under the provisions of the new police
manual the position Of precinct detective is
to be abolished and those who are now
doing duty in the precincts in plain clothes
will be uniformed and put on street duty.
This change will come as a surprise to the
men who are doing such duty and will
cause disappointment to some OF them who
have regarded their work as a stepping
stone to positions on the regular detective
force at headquarters. The adoption of this
rule will not operate against the detail by
lieutenants of the precincts of members
OF their commands in citizens clothes from
time to time to work upon particular cases.
Some disappointment was shown by a
number Of the sergeants yesterday when
1t became known that Sergt. Schneider had
received promotion. Several Of the older
sergeants had felt certain they would be
advanced because of their years in the serv-
Ice and their records. but Maj. Sylvester
took a number of things into considera-
ton In selecting Sergt. Schneider. One
important thing was that he had the back
ing of the Citizens Association of George
town and was Endorsed by most of the
merchants and others in that section. He
had become familiar with the people OF
Georgetown and the county Whereabouts
and was regarded by the superintendent of
police as the most suitable man for the
position. Lieut.. Jordan, who was pensioned
yesterday, will not return to duty. The
lieutenant, as stated In yesterdays Star,
Is to receive pension Of SIS month.
Other Changes Announced.
Policeman William N. Hayes, who did
duty at the Baltimore and Ohio depot for
several years, was pensioned at $40 month.
Thomas v. Steele and v. A. Osterman
were appointed members of the force to
succeed Policemen Charlton and Raedy
who were promoted. Private ]. J. Whaien
of the sixth precinct was promoted to be
acting sergeant. He performed duty at
the Baltimore and Potomac depot and was
frequently designated by Lieut.. Moore to
perform the duties of sergeant. The resig
nation Of Private John A. Lewis was ac-
cepted and Lorenzo B. Donaldson was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy. Mounted Po-
licemen NJ. E. Hagan of the ninth pre-
cinct and J. E. Preston of Georgetown were
dismounted at their own request, and the
latter is to be sent to the new harbor pre-
cinct. The mounted positions will be filled
by ]. 7. Behrens and c. E. Carney.
The only other change announced today
involves an exchange of positions by Po-
icemen S. B. Chaffee and Frank Monroe,
desk sergeant at the first precinct. The
latter Is to become a member of the squad
of harbor police. 1t is likely that add
tional changes will be announced later in
the week,
