Captain Redgate for Headquarters, Began for End Precinct Old ReIiabIes 0usted from
 Headquarters. No Change In Hours

The greatest shake-up ever experi- enced> in the Bridgeport police force was announced this morning when the scheduled changes were bulletined. The changes which affect almost every man in the department and change officers who have been established in posts for as long 8 period as eight years, came with the most sudden sur prise and is today creating a furore in police circles.
 The most disquieting rumors of even greater changes to come within the near future are current, am ong which is one to the effect that changes are contemplated in the detective force which may place two of the detectives back upon the pavement with stick and uniform
 The most pointed comment heard today upon the changes is the fact that in most instances and particularly in those eases where men have be- come prominent in the public print they have been assigned to stations farthest away from their home dis tricts.
 Previous to this time it has been the custom to assign men near to their homes that when the days work was done they would not be compelled to travel far before they were again with their families. This from casual i'm spection of the shake-up announced today seems to have been purposeIy disregarded.
 Captain William Anderson has been sent to the Third Precinct. Lieutenant Frederick Webb, for nearly ten years on duty at headquar- ters also goes to the Third Precinct. E Every old reliable, such vv1iffs BenhaIn Jimmy HaIpin and E. IL. Ruggles have been removed from po- lice headquarters.
 Court Officer Chris F1nnegan is not disturbed.
 Acting Detectives Bray. and -Dooley do not appear on the change as posted t.,day What changes are in store for the detective department at this time is merely a matter of Conjecture.
 There is no indication that a change Fin the hours will be made. The de- tail will go into effect at 7:45 on the morning of Tuesday,AAugust F. There is much criticism now of the hours of service which the men claim is not within the prescribed eight hour shift. They are compelled to report 15 min utes prior to the time scheduled, and in many instances are unable to eat at regular hours. In fact 1t is as- serted that in many instances patrol men doing duty have not eaten within g. period of 12 hours.
 The traffic squad will remain as heretofore including A. c. Goulden, Daniel and John Ryan, with P. J. Corrigan and Frederick H. Marco on post at the railroad station.
