ed, instructed Yung Dat to join him

far from Jersey City, until Sunday

NEW YoRk's NEW

New York. July New York's new
police administration, with Commits
sioner William f. Baker at the helm,
from which Gen. Theodore A. Bing-

more sensational removals. There is
still much uncertainty as TO the per-
sonnel of the cabinet of deputies and
assistants who will aid the new COM
missioner in governing the 10000
members of the force. This inf1uen-
tial little family includes four depu-
ties at salaries ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000, a chief clerk at $4,000, and a
personal secretary" at $4,000.
The political pot boiled fervently
during the day.
The most significant development
was the announcement of General
Bingham, the ousted commissioner on
the eve of his departure for his sum-
mer quarters in Nova Scotia, that ne
would return to New York in the ah-
tumn, and take an active part in the
campaign preceding the municipal
election. It is not unlikely his re-
moval will be made one of the prin-
cipal issues of the anti Tammany
forces In the campaign.
