There has lately been scarcity Of
roundBmen.
Several ser geants were retired for physical
disability. their places were filed by
thirteen roundsmen, who are acting ~
sorQeants. Since then the Commissioner
has needed roundsmen. The new oroer
gets around the DIFFICULTY.
s'fhere are undoubtedly many detective
sereeants who never detected anything,
Mr McAdoo said few DAYS ago. many
Of them, when their usefulness in the De-
tective Bureau at Headquarters was over
were detailed to detective DUTY in various
precincts. have decided that if these men
were not good enough detectives for the
Detective bureau they were not good enough
for detective work In precincts, | wnl
put them In uniform. II the change makes
the captains Of the precincts short Of deteo-
tives will give them additional patroimsn !,
for detective duty. Many Of the patrolmea |
are the best precinct detectives.

ode, we're .uurphy's appointees. Pfeif, !
