MORE POLICEMEN
POLICE BOARD PICKS 60
NAMES FROM LIST.
Castle Opposes Action, Saying Increase
Is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
About December 1.

The resolution of Police Commits
sioner Kane calling for the selection
of the first sixty-one names on the
civil service list as members of the
police department met with opposition
on the part of Commissioners Castle,
who made known his objection in no
uncertain terms at the Police Board
meeting yesterday afternoon. He de-
clared that it was unfair to appoint
any such number. stating that they
were not needed.
The main point of Mr.. Castles argu-
ment against the increase was that
the Second Precinct Station was able
to cover that territory with five men
on Halloween. He could not see, he
said. why the other precincts needed
so many men. The resolution was
passed, Commissioner Castle voting
against 1t.
Mr.. Castle held that the resolution
was unfair, as 1t gave him no oppor-
tunity to find out who the first sixty
one men are. 1t might be, he said, that
some of the men to be selected were
men who had been refused by other
civil service. commissioners.
Commissioner Harrigan declared that
the number Of men called for in the
resolution was needed to fill the vacan-
cies now existing in the department.
The resolution called for the selection
of the first sixty-one eligibles, leaving
out the second one on the list, Park
Policeman James Wilson. The latter
does not want to be appointed at pres
ent.
just when the board will make these
-nofnfYaoaf fs not Irnaryn httf II will

men have passed a physical examina-
ton by Police Surgeon Clark.
The none necessary to appoint this
large number was appropriated by the
finance committee last week, $4,000
being set aside for that purpose.
The following is a list of the sixty
men. with the standing in the examina-
tons and the percentage made by each,

for the condition in which the girls
were found.
Two of the girls were burned about
the face by the application of the drug.
These girls were lying on the inside a1
the bed. The one who occupied The
outside did not have her face burned.
but she suffered with the others from
the eeffcts OF the drug.
Detective Sergeant Sautter said last
night that he had been unable to loeate
DR.. Carlough, the physician called in
to treat the girls. He will interview
