HARR|GAN WANTS
$4,000 TO MAKE
NEW POLICEMEN
City Needs Bigger Force, Head
of Board Will Tell the
Aldermen.

William Harrigan, president of the
Police Board, will request before the
finance committee Of Common Council
tomorrow night that $4,000 be set
aside to employ as policemen a large
percentage of the ninety men now on
the civil service list. He will say that
as additional policemen are badly
needed and that as civil service will
go into effect shortly, it would simpli-
fly matters to provide the necessary
appropriation for the appointment Of
the additional men.
This was decided at a conference Of
the commissioners yesterday. The
commissioners tool up the question of
the change in the regulation cap worn
by %sergeants and roundsmen, and sew
eral samples were submitted, but no
action was taken on this matter.
1t is understood that an attempt was
made to have the commissioners no.
tice the remarks of Reginald jackson,
manager of Ralph B. Schmidt's shriev-
atty campaign. in which lie was quoted
as having criticised the police depart
ment, but 1t was deemed advisable to
ignore the matter.

popularity Of Mr.. Gardner among the
farmers of the State.
The Republican vote also was greater
by 5000 than in 1906, but 1t fell 4,OOC
below the vote in 1904. The Republi-

| inequalities evenly divided between thc
two parties.
The election was a victory for pro.

Mr.. Peterson and his associates have
determined, after careful consideration,
to put in this sampler and will have
the money on hand at all time to pur-

for cash. The lessee here will then be
able to realize every thirty days on his
ores, without waiting for his turn at
the mills. Those producing ores in the
development of their properties may
secure funds for further work, whether
their ore dumps be large or small.
