Desk SergeantS and Rounds
men Less Fortunate
Than Captains.
DECISION IS A SURPRISE
At the Last Minute Commission.
ers Conclude That 1t Would
Be Inadvisable to Jack TIP
Salaries at This
Time.

There will be no wholesale increase
in the pay of police officials, especially
those of desk sergeants and rounds
men. the POLICE Board having decided
today at the eleventh hour that it
would be inadvisable at this time to
grant the increase which the desk SER
geants seek.
No definite time will be set for the
increase, but 1t is more than likely
thai 1t will be postponed until October
or perhaps November, Whether it will
then be granted is a question
1t was generally expected that the
board would take up this matter to-
day, but at the secret session the
commissioners decided to hear the re-
quest of the sergeants and1ay the mat
ter over indefinitely.
Just what brought about the change
in the opinion of h commissioners is
not known outside. Last week they
seemed to be decidedly in favor Of
granting the increase TO the desk SER
geants, but it is known that three Of
the number were against granting a
general increase. such as raising of the
salaries of the detective sergeants and
the roundsmen.
1t is reported lndI all OF the COliiilis-
sioners were in favor of granting the
increase to the desk s~ergeants, but one
of the board held that the detective
sergeants should be graded the same as
the desk ~sergeants. The general opin-
ion of the board seemed to be in favor
of making the desk sergeants lieuten-
ants and allowing the detectives to
remain in their present position, and
not grant them an increase. Had this
come to a vote 1t would have bee car
ried. it is reported. three to one. Then,
when It became known that the rounds
men wanted an increase, too. n mat
ter was thought to be too u Tor
the board to decide at this time, so that
all raises will be put off indefinitely.
At the open session of the board the trlai
of Policeman George I. Neefus was held
Neefus one night this month was
found in a saloon in Springfield avenue at
the corner of Broome street by Rounds
man Seipel. Seipel had some words with
the policeman, during which he claimed
that Neefus held the club over his head
and threatened to hit him. Neefus pleaded
guilty to being in the saloon.

member of the party wore a white duck
suit and a hat to match. Both Of
the Richardson's boosted that they
would run away from home again, and
did not appear to be at all alarmed
over their adventure. The Kinney girl
appeared worried and hoped that the
papers would not learn anything about
their wild acts. 1T will disgrace nv

Pearl Richardson said that when she
left home she wore four waists, but

The elder Richardson girl said that
she had the letters Kraft sent with
her, but would not permit anyone to
see them.
