AND GALLAGHER
POSITIVE.
Continued From Page l, Column :.


Dinan has openly rehelled against
the act of Gallagher as the agent Of
Ruef in carrying out a programme
agreed upon before Schmitz left san
Francisco. Dinan still believes that the
Alavor has not left him 10 the wolves
and deserted him to fall prey 10 Ruef
long-cherished animosity.
Il viii not permit any one, lncluo-
ing Acting Mayor Gallagher, TO make
any changes in the detectiNe iorce %
IN the Police Department without my
consent" said Dinan, i am satisfied
with the detective bureau as consul
tuted at present, except that II lacks
= head. That head will be supplied
lust as soon as the Police Commission
ers create the Office Of inspector OF de-
tectives When that office is created
shall make Detective Sergeant Ed
wren Inspector of detectives. I shall
not make a single change IN the per-
sonnel Of the upper Office.
There can be no changes made le-
aauv except through me. Give me
hack the patrolmen Of each station
who are away on enforced leaves OF
absence and money enough to pay them
their salaries and I'll guarantee 10 keep
crime and violence down. The full
force is working at night. The l75 men
on leave are taken from the day watch
and these big murders occurred during
the day. But the detective force is
satisfactory and no changes will be
made until Wren is placed in charge.
What occurs then is for. Wren 10 say.

This ends the changes so far as the

Ross Whitaker, who for many years
has been a detective sergeant. was
.busily engaged yesterday seeking the
aid Of his friends in politics TO save his
scalp. He is endeavoring TO bring in
luence TO bear on Ruef TO keep him
from being forced 10 fall back upon his
pension.
JEALOUSY IN UPPER OFFICE.
Jealousies have arisen in the upper
Office among the men who would like
TO succeed TO the place left vacant by
the death OF Captain Of Detectives Jo-
seph Burnett. These Jealousies have
iuterfered with the detection of Grim
inals and have been brought into evil
dence by the recent startling murders.
II is said in the department that De-
tective Reynolds and Detective Tom
Gibson are bitterly opposed to each
other. This strife in a situation where
officers should be working in harmony
has reached the administrations ears
and It is decreed that the friction must
cease.
In order to Increase the effectiveness
Of the force all leaves of absence will
be ended and 175 men on such leaves
viii be placed on duty Monday. Meas
ures viii be taken to provide for their
pay, and. II necessary, the force of pa
trolmen and the detective bureau will
be increased
Meanwhile Dinan declares he has not
been Informed OF any contemplated
changes. and adds that none will be
made, as he is not yet ready to make
them Captain Duke received the news
as a surprise, but without being ques-
toned declared that he had not sought
the position. He would only say that
II the commission placed him in ONCE
ne would see that the men did their
duty.
The Commissioners will meet within
2 few days and Gallagher declares that
reorganization will be made then.
