Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany. April %.
Major George f, Chandler. head OF the
State Police. left Albany to-day to seek
location for the barracks for his two
new troops. One of them he expected to
be in Orange county or some other place
equally near New York. The other will
be up near the Canadian border, where
the men will divide their time between
bootleggers and Adirondack Mountain
poachers.
Major Chandler has completed the
examination Of applicants for the two
new troops. One hundred and sixteen
men are needed. and 1900 applied for
the positions Because of the rigidness
of the examination it Is not expected
that many more than the required num-
ber will get through. Major Chandler
said that under the plan he has laid out
all the Illicit booze selling dives and
road houses in the rural sections OF the
State will be cleaned up within three
months and bootlegging will be made SO
unprofitable as to cease to attract the
yenturesome spirits who have been get
ting rich under the old order OF things.
The State Police head plans TO dry up
completely one community in county
each week and expects that before the
end OF the summer rural New York VIII
be absolutely boozeless. BY putting one
Of the new barracks down near New
York and the other close to the Cana
dian border Major Chandler plans to get
the bootleggers going and coming. HIS
men can sweep down on them as they
cross the boundary line. and those that
filter through will be mopped up as they
approach the big market for their con-
traband beverages, New York.
