JOB TOO MUCH FOR
THIS P'LICEMAN
Another Billy" Idle and Situation
Is Becoming Serious-More
Men Needed.

6. D Morgan, known to his friends as
"Pierpont' Morgan, yesterday handed in
his checks as one Of the new policemen,
declaring that he wouldn't keep the
job at $3.50 a month" b captain Of
his station offered him the best beat in
Richmond IL ne would stay on the force.
but Morgan had had enough. and vehe-
mently declined to continue as one Of
tho guardians OF the city.
Morgan makes the sixth OF tho new
policemen to resign. F. r.. Fournoy hav-
ing resigned on Saturday. Six resigna-
ions OF the new men IN nine DAYS Is the
record, and the end is not yet. as II is
said that more are contemplating a change
10 other fields and pastures new. The
9l.o%eloh Is rather serious, from the view
point or the police department. With the
polclhg or the new territory. recently

sar'y couple with the increasing short
ness IN men TO cover the beats. the Sit
uatNoh' which was at first iudicrous. NOW,
7ppears in a serious LIGHT.
The weather has been uya~r GA 80.
and has Afforded the men fun op-portunit,,
10 test their desires for WELDING tba htu,,
under the most favorable circslmstances
When snow, sieet and EIush cover the
streets and the cold uortheaster eroa1es
the coats to the backs OF the men. when
there Is no protection. from a stormy
SKY and little shelter from the winds that
blow. what Will be the situation fheoq
That IS the question being asked.
What to do 60 induce the new man 70
stick Is fast becoming a problem. ana
II looks as II the Police Commisston-
ers must spend their time ~electing new
men to the force as fast as the old ones
resign.
An ordinance 90 raise the salaries OF
policemen ten per cent. IS now before

ton. The police aro very hopeful OF It's
successful issue. ana Il r. likely that It
win be passed as an extra tnducement to
