Chairman William II. Luther OF the
police commission has had his attention
called TO the appointment 20 the force OF
Thomas J. Regan OF l39 Ives street. who
was indorsed by John Jacob Rosenfeld
aud the late Councilman Harry G.. H..
acknowledgements that in themselves
regarded as justifying suspicion.
Regan was sworn I'm with the same
batch as Andrew j. Leo, whose appoint
nsnt was secured. IL is claimed, as a con-
s'deration for the desertion OF the regu-
lar Democrats by member OF their ward
committee
Regan was a member OF the ward com
n.ttee i'm the First ward. whose connec-
tion with the fraudulent caucus I'm the
ward last year was notorious. His APP
plication 10 become a member OF the po-
lice force was filed not very long after
the November election; and at that time

More than two months ago. he appeared

As most policemen get heavier after
they get on the force. presumably he

quite a difficult feat for a young man

under 80 and in health perfect enough for
him TO pass a rigorous physical eNamna-
tion.
While some OF the circumstances may
seem peculiar, IL is certain that Chair
man Luther hasn't any personal knowl-
edge OF any irregularity. but II Is equally
certain that methods at police headquar-
ters are likely TO undergo radical revision
in order 90 put them as far above Sus-
pcion as possible
Under the present system OF conducting
examinations, Il would be easy for an
irdividual TO bring I'm "A few pocket acces-
gories 10 knowledge and help himself out.

failed In an examination this month to

that list to the ambitious one and en-
able him TO reach a high mark in his eX-

II Is felt by many that the chairman Of
the commission bs not I'm a position with
existing customs in the office. to know
as much as he might regarding the de-
tells In these matters and that Secretary
Gee, a close intimate OF Chief Matthews
ana OF certain politicians. probably knows
much more OF the actual facts than does
the chairman himself.
AS before intimated. II is thought not
unlikely that office methods may be so re-
vised as to afford the fullest opportunity
for each member OF the commission TO
know every detail Of these matters here
after.
