WANTS SPARROW Cops
Park Board Said To Be Unani-
NOUS in Favoring Special Police.
SLOWER IS N0N.C0MMITTAL
They Were Replaced by Regular
Patrolmen, Following Attack
for Laxity in Discipline.

The Park Board and the parks ad-
visory committee have had under consid-
Grafton for some time the ACCESSIBILITY OF
replacing the regular park police with park
guards. 1t was In 1898, with the consolt-
dalton Of the greater city, that the So
called sparrow cops" were replaced by the
regular uniformed force To bring about
the change II will be necessary to make
an amendment to the present charter. This
IS now being discussed by the board men,
bers and the committee. and It was as
serted yesterday by a person In a position
TO know that the board was unanimous on
the proposition.
Park Commissioner Slower, when asked
about the proposed change. said:
Yes, the matter has been under consd-
GRAFTON. ! do not want to make any def
mite statement Just now as to my position,
but when you have one kind OF police
man on one side of the street and another
kind on the other. by way OF illustration,
IT Is hardly possible to get good results
We have park keepers and We have park
police. We should. 1t seems to me, have
only one kind"
The substitution OF the sparrow cops"
for the uniformed men, who are under the
jurisdiction of the Police Commissioner,
was one Of the first important propositions
taken up by the Mayors park cabinet"
Of which Alexander II. Spencer is the
chairman. Mr.. Spencer has gone over the
matter with the Park Board In a most
| thorough manner. and tho position MAIN
tanned by the board, 1t was said yesterday,
was one much in favor of having a park
guard force again.
1T was the worst blow to the parks OF
tho city" said an official OF the Park De-
partment yesterday. who has seen many
Years Of service. when the so-calIed
| sparrow COPS were replaced by regular
police. The park guards were directly
| under the control OF tho Park Board, and
could be held responsible by that body for
any laXity of discipline. With the park po-
lice IL Is different. They are not men
| trained to do certain things to protect the
parks. They have the power of arrest.
| The park guards had not only that power,
But that view was not entirely borne out

 At the end of four hours, when the ele- vator started, they were well acquainted.
 Saunders learned French and proposed. Mile Le Clerque learned English. There was a proposal by mail, and that's why Mile Jeanne Le Clerque and her daugh- ter will go at once to Montreal, where the wedding will take place.

Thompson, the father of the commission form of government in Tennessee. The chances of both are slightly weakened however, because of the fact that each has advocates who will not support the other,
