ting that it was good thing and the
proper step to take
General Wickersham said he had no
doubt the mounted squad would be
appointed, and he therefore offered
the resolution for the consideration
of the board. The resolution pertain
ed to the duties Of the sergeont of the
squad and of the men under him; the
protection of the horses and equip
ment provided for a frequent in.
spection and report on the same by
the chief of police; provided for two
substitutes to be used in case Of ill
ness of any of the squad and pro-
hibited the use of any Of the horses
by any but those properly qualified
to ride them.
Mr. Bowers said he did not see
anything wrong with the resolution.
and he thought it was all right. but
he thought its adoption at this time
would be a little hasty. He Thought
it would be better to wait until the
squad is named. Mr.. Stayton Thought
II would be better to wait until the
men are appointed.
General Wickersham said he would
like to see the thing started as soon
as possible so they could get to work.
He did not see how the resolution
would interfere with the naming of
the squad and he thought it would
be wise to have all preparations made
as soon as possible.
The other members of the board,
however, did not take the same view
so he withdrew his paper.

SQUAD QUESTION
splits commission
Gen. WickerSham Wants
Best Men Chosen, Bowers,
StaytOn Object
LATTER WANT OLD
RULE FOLLOWED

Despite the recent action of City
Council in requesting the Board of Po-
lice Commissioners to make the ap-
pointments of the seven men for the
mounted squad at their earliest convent
ence, the police commissioners at a
lengthy session yesterday afternoon
failed to come to any agreement on the
matter, and the appointments are ap-
parently as far off as ever.
The delay hinges on the fact that
while Commissioner /. Pusey Wicker
sham believes that the men to be ap-
pointed should first undergo competi-
tive examination, the other two COM
missioners, President William II. Bow
ers and Commissioner T. n. Stayton,
believe that the appointments should be
personal and that each member of the
commission should name so many men
of his own selection.
General Wickorsham, through whose
efforts City Council granted the appro-
priation for the mounted squad, and
who has been working to have the
squad consist of the best men available,
both physically and mentally, made
motion at the meeting yesterday after
noon that oil candidates for the squad
be notified TO appear at a certain time
and place and undergo an examination
as TO their fitness and qualifications for
the position.
Commissioner Wickersham embodied
in his motion that of those who take
the examination the eight best men
should be selected, aud that these eight
should be subjected to a competitive
examination, both mentally and physi-
callv. He believed this would be the
fairest way to name the men, and
would assure the city that the men Sc
lected for this branch Of the service
would he the best men they can get
President Bowers and Commissioner
Stayton did not agree with Commits
-ioner Wickersham, they holding that
tho appointments should be personal,
each commissioner naming so many
men of his own selection. After some
discussion General Wickersham said he
was willing to waive everything. except
personal fitness in making the appoint
ments for the mounted squad, but the
other two men held to their idea that
each should pick their own men and
name them on the same personal ba-
sis as the patrolmen are appointed.

that the mounted SQUAD should be

they are unable to agree as TO the
manner in which they shall be picked
Commissioners Bowers and Stayton
refuse to concede to General Wicker
sham's plan to have the men lined up
and the board pick the best men. The
failure to agree upon the manner In
which the men shall be selected, re-

suited in the failure to appoint the
men yesterday. It is understood that
unless the board appoints the men be-
fore next Thursday, that City Council
will again take action, which may re-
suit in the withdrawal Of the approp-
ration granted for the squad.
It developed yesterday that two men
have been selected from the police
force to serve as mounted men. Their
names were not mentioned at the
meeting Of the board, but is generally
believed they are Patrolman McElroy,
one Of the recent appointments, and
Patrolman Warren. Joseph A. Davis,
u. S. A., some time ago was nominated
for sergeant Of the squad, so that there
remains but four men to be appointed
TO the squad.
At an executive session of the
Commission discussion was vehement,
and several times one or another Of
the commissioners would raise his
voice to such a pitch that II could
easily be heard in the other room.
Following the executive session
Generan Wickersham stated that In
asmuch as the members of the pres
ent force are subjected to "a prelim-
mary examination he thought 1t only
fair that the applicants for the squad
should take preliminary examina-
ton. He then voiced his motion re-
garding the preliminary examination
and the competitive examination,
pointing out that there only remains
four men to be appointed. as two men
and the sergeant have already been
named.
Commissioners Bowers and Stayton
then voiced their objections to the mo-
ton, fayoring the personal selection
of candidates
General Wickersham then pointed
out that judging from the mounted
upds Of the big cities il is a special
service that requires special men. He
did not know Of any other way OF
selecting the best men except by tile
competitive examination.
Commissioner Stayton remarked
that they all wanted the best men
they could get only they differed as
TO how they should be selected.
General Wickersham stated that he
had no desire TO make personal appoint
ments, and he believed u best that the
appointments should be made by the
whole board and not by the individual
members, as better results could then
be obtained. He declared that as the
city is spending about Sl24,000 a year
for police service, the commission
should proceed in the most careful man
ner. His plan, he thought, would re-
move all doubt as to whether the men
were selected fairly. He had no inter
est in the matter, he said, except fol
the betterment of the departmnt. He
declared he could see great possibilities
for the mounted squad.
As General Wickeysham's original
motion was not seconded, it yoas lost
and the subject Of appointing tn,
mounted squad was temporarily
dropped At present there seems to be
no immediate prospect of an agreement
on the subject
Commissioner Wickersham, in antici
patton of the appointment of the mount
ed squad. offered a resolution providing
for the proper care of the horses ant
equipment Of the squad end definitely
fixed the responsibility for that brancl
Of the service.
