CYCLONE HITS POLICE.
BINGHAM Makes RECORD.
Eighty-fue Captains MoUed-Are
Is Ready for PatrOLmen.

General Bingham yesterday broke all records
IN the way Of a police ''shake-up" by transfer
ring eighty-flve out OF the eighty-six command
ers OF precincts. Under the sweeping order
every captain in the FIVE boroughs OF the city,
except Captain Schlottnan. of the Tenderloin.
is compelled TO move his authority and his be-
longings from one police station TO another.
While General Bingham would make no state-
rent Of his intentions yesterday. it was the talk
Of the department that the transfers Of yester-
CAV we're merely the beginning OF the general
shifting process in which several thousand pa
,-orneu will be involved before Election Day. The
purpose Of the wholesale moving Of policemen
from precincts where they have become we'll
known is said TO be TO insure police impartialty
at the polls on November g. 70 stop police cleo
t,oneering and 70 make the police more effeo-
tive in enforcing the laws against gambling
and vice.
The interests Of several Tammany leaders will
suffer by the transfer Of friendly captains from
their districts TO Queens and Brooklyn. When
the wholesale transfer Of patrolmen is ordered.
many Tammany leaders interested in poolrooms
end dens Of vice will be wholly unable to get
the usual protection for such places.
Il has come 10 the knowledge of the officials
ct Police Headquarters that many patroimen
have become active political agents Of William
II
70 drum UP votes for him. His promise to
restore ;he three platoon system. which General
Bingham recently discontinued on the ground
that It robbed the city Of proper police protec-
ton IS the main reason for the pernicious polit-
ical activity Of the patrolHen. The most effec-
tive way of putting a stop 10 such police cleo
iioneerirg is to transfer the patrolmen to new
precincts.
