 FOR FLETCHER'S CASTO RIA MANY SLEUTHS
 ARE SHIFTED
Flynn at Work Reorganizing New York Bureau on Secret
 Service Lines

New York, Nov. 19-Within a few days many more changes will be made by the second deputy police commissioner, William J. Flynn, in the reorganization of the detective bureau AS renodelled,s it will not be unlike the United States secret service. in which Flynn became known as a trailer of criminals. He spent fl years in the Government service, part of the time as chief of the eastern division.
 Following a long established cus- tom of the secret service, the deputy wn shift his men constantly, so that they will not become too we'll known in any one locality. He started the plan today. Detectives who had work ed in special districts for years were transferred to sections where they were unknown. After a few months service in a district. they will be shifted again; if they remain in the bureau long enough, they will have served in every part Of the city.
 Another secret service custom will be that of having the detectives for at police headquarters daily reports giving the minute details of every thing they have done in the preced- ing 24 hours. A form known as No. S3 has been sent to every precinct to be filled out by the detectives.
 All Ol luG IIGW policy was issued. transferring Lieut.. John J. Boyle to the Brooklyn bureau For years he had been assigned to the upper west side. where he knows nearly every "crook'' the section has produced. He also has an acquain- tance with all the pawnbrckers from West Fourteenth street to Harlem. William Miller, first-grade detective. who knows the hooks and corners of Chinatown and the Bowery, also was other first-grade man. journeyed in follow.
 Joseph Cliff and Robert Powers, who did confidential work for Com missioner Baker, donned uniforms and went out on patrol Cliff to the Mercer street station and Powers to West 125th Street Patrolman Joseph A. Wasserman, who probably has had more ups and downs than any man in the department, was shifted by Commiss; Oner Cropsey, being trans ferred from the East 10+th street to Adams street Brooklyn. He was for merly a sergeant, but was reduced to the ranks by Commissioner Bingham. He has been shifted so constantly that he has served in 30 precincts and in all the five boroughs.
 Lieut.. James J. Mccarthy of Mercer street. was transferred to Elizabeth street. Lieut.. Lawrence T. O'Brien went from Oak to West filth street. Lieut. Philip W. Auer from Elizabeth to Mercer street and Lieut.. Patrick J. Handles from West filth to Oak street.

According to the Hartford Times, ''the Mclean interests in the next House will be represented by Dr. George H. Knight, of the town of Sal isbury. and he will be the Mclean candidate for Speaker, and "the can- did >te of the Bulkeiev faction for the Speakership will be General John F. Carpenter of Putnam But F. A. Scott of Plymouth is also mentioned for the Speakership, and unless he or Dr. Knight withdraws. Litchfield county's vote will be divided.
 The Speakership contest is usually considered as decisive preliminary to the Senatorial contest. With the candidates classified between the Sen atorial aspirants. the result of the vote for Speaker is usually considered as indicating the result Of the Senatorial vote.
 If both Speakership and Senatorship contests were to be decided at the same caucus, the result of the former might foreshadow the result of the latter. But it is scarcely probable that the caucus for the nomination of a Speaker will undertake the larger job. though the faction electing it's candidate for Speaker may attempt to force the Senatorial issGe.' ' In view of this possibility. the Bulkeley men may refuse to attend the caucus, un- less assured in advance that no at tempt will be made thereat to force the Senatorial Issue. It is some what peculiar situation.

In the interview with Sheriff flaw ley. published soon after the election, he was represented as bringing a charge of treachery to his candidacy in the Norwalks. This was at the time, interpreted as an accusation against the Republican voters of the town. but close consideration of his language indicates that he may have meant to charge treachery against Congressman Hill He heard from Mr. Hill, he stated. the day before the election. who then said, You will have a majority in the Norwalks.' Natur- ally. he Gdawley) felt that the vote there would be a good one for me-, but it was the reverse. It was per- fectly natural that Sheriff Hawley, knowing MT. Hills popularity with the people of his home town, should have believed that he HilD could. and would, check the Vollmer current He either could not, or would not and the charge of "treachery" brought by Hawley apparently means that Hill could. but would not.

GAME LAWS WORK INJUSTICE

In a recent letter to the Hartford Courant. MT. Abner J. Benson says:
 It seems to me that every State should designate certain sections or wild land as public game preserves, stock same with birds and fish. pro- tect it, and give to every citizen. ir- respective of his bank account or great grandfather, an opportunity to shoot and fish at proper seasons and under proper restrictions Hunting is a sport, not a business: and game should not be sold. If it is. the professional hunter will clean out any kind or game faster than 1t can propagate.
 At the present time in some sections the common man. can neither hunt nor fish, unless at the risk of arrest. The State is doing more or less to stock the forests and streams, but the average citizen. although he pays his share of the cost in taxation, cannot hunt or fish. So much of the wild lands and of the streams has been purchased or leased by wealthy men, generally citizens of other States. that tax-paying residents of this State are practically deprived of opportunities of benefiting by the States outlay for birds and fish.
 Mir. Benson suggests that the State should designate certain sections of wild land as game preserves. stock them and allow any citizen to hunt or fish on them. under proper restric- tions, probably limitations as to sea- son and amount of game or fish to be taken by each individual. It would be an excellent plan, provided there are available and suitable wild lands which the State could, and would be willing to, buy or lease. and provided also that an adequate number of game wardens for enforcement of the linai- tations could be provided.
 It is very clear either that some such plan should be adopted, or that the State should cease to expend the taxpayers money in stocking forests and streams. These expenditures inure now chiefly to the pleasure or profit of owners of private game and fish preserves.
 The matter may we'll engage the att tention of the incoming Legislature, and particularly so. as the protection Of deer will cease next year. unless t be renewed. The present system is unjust to the average citizen.

have assumed such proportions that III all staple articles we can supply the domestic market by keeping our fac tories going eight months Of the year. What are we going to do with our workingmen and the many mouths they have to feed in the remaining four months if through a shOrt-sighted standpat policy we are driven out of the foreign markets as the result of retaliation rather than the natural competition that we are abundantiy able to meet?
 we have overplayed the protection ist garne-we have played 1t to the limit, and we have got all we ever are going. to get out of it. Now we must change our fiscal policy for our own ,.rotection.

 Not to Wait on Tariff Board.
 Do you believe President Taft will urge upon the present Congress any changes in the tariff as a result of in vestigation made by the Tariff Com mission?"
 "Oh, he may do something" said the Governor-elect, "but the commission itself is only a subterfuge, and the people are in no mood to wait for it's reports The first thing for us to do is to kick out all the graft of the pres ent schedules and get back to old-fash- toned honesty Then we can create new commission with real powers and settle down to a scientific readjust- nent of the tariff"
