George $. poughertv. superintendent
Of the Eastern department Of the Pink
erton Detective Agency, succeeded
william J. Flynn "a Second Deputy Police
Commissioner yesterday. He was ap-
pointed by Commissioner Cropsey at
Police Headquarters shortly nfter
o'clock and went at onoe TO the second
deputy's room, where Mr.. Flynn was walt
ing TO turn over the reins Of Office. When
the dav was over II WAS announced that
Commissioner Cropsey had transferred
five men from the detective bureau.
Three lieutenants who have held places
Of responsibility under Flynn are exiled
10 the remote er parts Of the city for station
house duty and two first grade detectives
are put back into uniforms and assigned
to patrol duty.
Inasmuch as the new Second Deputy
did no official business yesterday these
transfers are not attributed to him. and
Mr.. Flynn is not suspected either. Here
are the changes:
Lieut.. william 8. Peabody, who was
put in charge OF the second division OF
detectives by Flynn, goes to the 275th
precinct. in Long Island City. Lieut..
william H. Kinsler leaves the Central
| Office for the i8sth precinct, in Sheepshead
Bay Lieut. william F. Duggan goes
from headquarters 10 Hamburg avenue,
Brooklyn, the ieNh precinct.
Duggan and Kinsler have been partners
for a great many years and they have
been particularly successful in getting
loft burglars long list Of convictions
is to their credit and each has a medal
from the depart rtment for his services. A
few years ago they were especially COM
mended when II was learned that they
had refused a big bribe in one Of their
cases.
valerian J. O'Farrell, who was taken to
Headquarters in the days Of McCafferty,
will put on uniform in the West Sixty
eighth street station. The drop from
first grade detective means n loss to him
of 1925 a year. The other detective put
back into uniform is James j. Cain, who
arrested Car,iso in Central Park. He goes
to the second precinct, in Greenwich
street. He was brought to the Central
Once by Flynn. As a member of the
Second Deputy's personal staff he was in
charge Of many raids and was raised 10
frat grade on Flynn's recommendation.
| Mr.. Flynn denied at Headquarters
yesterday that he will be Commissioner
ICropsey's successor. He will return 10
the secret service. he said.
| After Deputy Commissioner Doughertv
had settled himself In the chair left vacan,
by Mr.. Flynn he said that he expected to
devote most Of his time to detective work
He was asked il he would have to take
charge Of the bureau OF repairs and sup.
plies. that part OF the duties Of the second
deputy 20 which Flynn objected.
Temporarily. he said. The Mayor
as soon as possible"
will you have charge Of gambling''
he was asked.
-Yes. ! believe that to he part Of tn.
legitimate work OF the detective bureau
I shall do all can to suppress gambling
whether it can he suppressed absolutel,
or not is a question.
"Ihave had occasion to come in contac
with the detective bureau for over twent,
years. and believe that il is in state o
high efficiency and il getting better al
the time. or course there are men in tn
bureau who are not detectives. but thu
majority Of the men are capable. Th'
older men have large experience that il
!, inv aluable and the younger men ar
learning fast.
Il have full confidence in the personne
OF the department. OF course there ar
men in it who should not be there. but tha
Is true OF anY large organization and it i
no reason why people should undul
, criticise the department.
Il want to say now" said the new dep
uty. that the reason | am here is becaus
! was recommended by my friend Flynn
, and he advised me to accept" This wa
confirmed at the Mayors office. where
a was said that Flynn had submitted 10 tn
, Mayor the name Of William p. Hazel
/ also. Mr.. Hazen was once head Of tn
/ secret Service.
MIR. Dougher;y was asked what h
= thought of the so-called crime wave an
. said it was greatly exaggerated.
I'VE have intuxes OF out OF tow
criminals" he said, and If am hnlf q
successful in cleaning them out as m
predecessor | shall be glad"
Deputy Commissioner Doighert,
{ opened his Interview with the remark tina

Of New York had not had sufficiently i'm
