ARE FIGHTING TO
KEEP CORDIALLY.
Police Captains Popularity an
Assured Fact-Buob on
Fire Protection.

Rumors of the proposed removal of
Police Captain Thomas J. CORDIALLY,
of the Seventh Precinct, were traced
last night directly to zone man who
wants to get a precinct of his own"
at meeting of the Vailsburg Inn
provement Association. This was
what was said at all events.
This statement was communicated
to the members of the association by
Alderman John f. Reilly He said
they were the wosds of Police Com
missioner Bladder Alderman Reilly
said the man Commissioner Bladder
referred to was Captain Frank w.
Tuite of the detective bureau.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of protesting against the rumor-
ed removal of Captain CORDIALLY 1t
was held in Union Hall, 800 South Or
ange avenue and was largely attend
ed.
Alderman Reilly in addressing the
members of the association said:
IT have taken a personal inter-
est in this matter to determine just
how much truth there was in these
rumors. / telephoned to Police Com
missioner Bladder and we talked the
matter over. He gave me the I'M
preston that the police commission
was not even considering the change.
He told me the rumors of Captain
Corbally's removal was started by
man who is DESTROYS of getting
precinct of his own. That man is
meme other than Captain lutte. We
don't want him at the head of the
Seventh Precinct. All he wants to
do is to get out of direct supervision
of his superior officer"
Rev. Benjamin f. Dickson, pastor
of the Vailsburg M. f. Church de-
clared he had reasons to believe sa-
loon keeper in the neighborhood was
anxious to have CORDIALLY removed
Praise of Captain Corbally's work
was voiced by Andrew Fitzsimmons
and George A. Tuttle. The former
pointed out many instances of Cap
tain Corbally's efficiency since he has
taken charge of the precinct. MIR.
futile intimated that there were
reasons for the rumors of Corbally's
removal"
As a result of the discussion a COM
mittee of five was named to wait upon
Mayor Haussling and the police COM
missioners to protest against any
temptation. The committee named Is
composed of Alderman John II. Reil-
ly, Milo Borden, Andrew Fitzsim-
mons, James II. Hampton and
Charles t. Ziegler.
Fred Buob, a resident of the Wallis
burgh section, appeared before the
members to protest against the kind
of fire protection that the people of
the Vailsburg section had. Mr.,
Buob said he had been a resident of
the Vailsburgh section for number
of years and while he was not
member of the Improvement Associa-
ton, he soon hoped to be. He de-
clared that any time there is a big
fire in the downtown section of the
city, the engines in the Vailsburgh
section were called to it and conse-
quently that section was left unpro-
tected during the fire.
: James b. Donnelly, a former fire..
man. arose to defend the fire system.
the fire commissioners and Fire Chief
Moore.
Its taken Buob a long time to de-
eide that he should be a member OF
the Improvement Association" said
Mr.. Donnelly. "If Mr. Buob under
stood anything at all about conduct
ing a fire department, he wouldn't
make such a silly protest"
This matter is one for the Common
Council to settle. / mean the selec-
tion of site for a fire-house and the.
building of a fire-house. 1t is not up
to the fire commissioners. Ii Buob
would only read Chief Moore's recon-
mendation concerning fire protec-
ton in Vailsburg he wouldn't
be talking as he is tonight. He
would know who and what to talk
about"
From now on women are eligible to
membership in the association. The
motion permitting women to become
members, however. caused consider
able discussion. One member arose
to say that while he thought women
should be members of the associa-
ton, he did not think they should be
permitted to hold office in the or
Ganization.
IF they're good enough to be mem
bers." said Alderman Reilly, they're
good enough to hold Office
And when the motion was put 1t
&C ntained the right of women to hold
Office. And 1t was almost unanimous
ly carried.
