'TOM' RILEY'S CASE
 MAY CAUSE TROUBLE
Officer IS Years But Is Side.
 tracked for Janitorship

The action of the board of police commissioners last evening in ap- pointing John Liebler janitor at the police station in place of Mrs. Mary Mettey, furnished the basis of consid- erable criticism on the streets today, The criticism is not at the action of the board so much, as it acted on the recommendation of the department head.
 There would no doubt be any cause for harsh remarks if the application of Patrol Driver Thomas Riley had received the. attention due it. Officer Riley, member of the department for IS years, and driver of the night patrol since the apparatus has been in force here, desired the janitorship of the station and when 8 vacancy arose. he felt that he shoul dbe given some consideration. But the fact of his IS years service and the efficient manner in which he conducted the duties en- trusted to him, apparently were dis regarded. In some circles it is hinted that Officer Riley will take the only course the recent action merits, by re- signing.
 The naming of lieutenant will soon crop up with a vim, If an att tempt is made to recommend the pres- ent incumbent of the place without giving every officer in the department a chance to qualify for the berth ! through a civil service examination. The choice made of other officers who went through this form has proved to be excellent and interested citizens. it is believed, will not stand aside and allow the lieutenantship to be, put across when the common council or some, other municipal body authorizes the existence of such an office.
