ADMIRAL SIR GEORGE SOM. IA FRS. in 1909. led fleet of eight caravels. conveying British coionists to the new plantation that was being started in Virginia. A hurricane blew up, the vessels were scattered, and the Sea Ven. ture. with Admiral Somers, was wrecked on a reef, one of about 360 little islands that make up what Is now called Bermuda.
 It was one of series of wrecks which threw adventuring sailors, on these islands ever since they first were discovered by the Spans iard, Juan de Bermudez, in the 18th century. None claimed the islands. however, until Admiral Somers' arrival in 1909.
 Somers died in 1610. and his fol- lowers named their haven the Somers Islands. But the name that has remained recalls the islands original founder.

CAPTAIN LEROY
 RESIGNED POST
Another Shake-Up Coming in Police Dept.-Four
 Aspirants for Capt.

Captain Richard L. LeRoy of the police department resigned his post today. His move starts off the wholesale shake-up in the police department which was begun last week when Superintendent of Po- lice Joseph H. Mclean retired and when Captain Daniel J. Carson was advanced to the post of deputy superintendent. William J. Roach at that time, was named Superin- tendent McLean's successor.
 The police board will accept Cap tain LeRoy's resignation at this af- ternoon's regular semi-monthly meeting and will 1t is understood, not only name his successor, but also a captain to fill the vacancy caused by Captain Carson's advancement.
 Four Aspirants
 Four members of the department were prominently mentioned for the two captaincies which 1t is reported the police board will fill this after noon. Those talked of were Lieu tenant James Mulville, Sergeant Hugh Flaherty, John Leary of the detective departments bertillon branch and Sergeant William Dug gan.
 Captain LeRoy, in quitting his police department post, brings to an end a period of public service that began in 1902 when he was named to the supernumerary force Not only did he leave an active rec ord behind him as a policeman but during his term as a public officer also served in other important ca pacities. In 1903 he was named truant officer for the city and served in this capacity for two years under the administration of former Mayor John P. Elton.
 In Accord With Budget
 The advancements and general changes being made in the police department are in accord with the l936 budget set up by the board oi finance and approved by the alder men. Provisions for pensions to be paid retired members and for in- creased salaries to be paid men pushed up in rank were made in the budget so that the city is not eX- periencing any possibility of de- ficit because of the shifts.
 After serving as truant officer Captain LeRoy did eight years duty as a supernumerary and also acted as detective for the local Master Builders and Contractors associa- ton. He also served some time as
