A. N. WALLEN APPOINTED
POLICE COMMISSIONER
He Is Not Personal Friend
of the Mayor or OF
Boss Abe Ruef
MOVE is A SURPRISE
Naming of the Contractor
Causes Wonderrnent in
the Department

Mayor Schmitz surprised Chief
Jerry Dinan and the rest OF the Po-
lice Department yesterday when he
notified the Board Of Police Commits
sioners that he had appointed A. Nj.
Wallen. a contractor and builder, of
1888 Waller street. TO I'll the vacant
chair at the Commissioners table.
Ever since H. T. Creswell left the board
in disgust at his inability 10 oppose the
majority in his moves for civic decency
speculation has been rife as 10 who
would be Creswell's successor. 1t was
believed generally that the Mayor
would emerge long enough for the
shadow OF crime that hangs over him
10 announce tie appointment of some
man high in his favor, and who had
been strong as fighter under the dis
credited Ruef- -Schmitz banner. But
Schmitz did no such thing, 10 every
body's surprise.
While not a stranger 10 politics,
Wallen is neither the personal friend of
the Mayor nor the friend of the Mayors
boss. That is why everybody in police
circles was surprised al the announce
ment that a man comparatively un-
known to them would sit with the Com
missioners next Tuesday afternoon.
Wallen is a Successful contractor and
a member OF the Builaers' Association.
He is native of Sweden, having come
to California as 4 youth. He is a man
OF family and has lived in this city
seventeen years and has been identified
prominently In Swedish political and
social circles. AS president of the
Swedish Political Club he has been an
ardent Republican and has aided the
labor movement. While working at his
trade as carpenter Wallen was a mem
Der of the Carpenters Union. AT
present he has no union affiliations.
Il was much surprised" he said last
night, when I was asked if I would ac-
cept the appointment on the board. I
do not care to say who il was that
brought word to me that the Mayor
would like to appoint me. but I said
would accept the honor That was
three days ago. Yesterday I was noti
fed. 1 have no plan with reference to
my action as a Police Commissioner
other than TO go on the board free
man; TO do my duty as / understand it
and justify the confidence that has been
reposed IN me-"
In the opinion Of many it is no cause
for regret that Wallen is not a personal
friend Of the man who appointed him.
1t is understood that o. A. Tveitmoe
was the one who urged the Mayor TO
name Wallen.
