THREE sERGEANTs SHIFTED.
No Regular Night Man Assigned for
 Central,

Chief Cowles on Saturday announc- ed tho changes in the assignment of sergeants in connection with the re- leving of Sergeant Gibson of the pos Ition as night sergeant at the Central station. Sergeant Gibson is assigned to street duty as he asked and he will go on duty to-day at the Dixwell avenue station where he did duty for some years before coming to central Sergeant Owen Marlowe is shifted from Dxwell avenue where he was sent on the shift or the first of May and he will do duty at Howard ave- nue station. A vacancy was made at Howard avenue by the transferring of Sergeant William c. Doherty from that precinct to central station to fill the vacancy due to the transfer f Gibson.
 As was forecastcd the night ser geant position at the central station has been changed from a permanent job to shifting position there be- ing q different officer assigned for each month. There was no great de- sire on the part of any of the ser geants there to take the place so it was thought best to give them all a chance at 1t by shifting them each month Sergeant Smith will have the first night shift for the month of June.
