PRICE. Capt. Smith has veen commander of the West Sixty-eighth street station ever since {t was opened, in the early part of 1892, He was not disturbed in the big shake-up of Captains in April of that year, immediately after Byrnes was made Superintendent. The other Captains, however, were transferred, some of them several times since. SMITH. Capts. Meakim, Price and McCull: have been mentioned before the Lexow Committee, the latter by ex-Ward Man Shalvey, who requested the Police Board to retire him to-day. McCullagh, It appears, has not sat- isfled Supt. Byrnes that he has exerted himself to carry out recent special orders which were promulgated pur- possly for the benefit of Captains below One Hundred and Twenty-fifth atreet. Capt. Price, the Superintendent is sald to believe, is not the proper officer to be in command of the Twentieth Precinct, Which Inciudes a ‘arge portion of the “Tenderloin.” His record has been smirched to a considérable extent by complaints at Police Headquart« 4. It war only recently that he was charged with failing to break up gam- bling dens in his precinct. CART. WILLIAM THOMPSON, Supt. Byrnes desires @ younger and more active man, and for that reason selected Capt, McCullagh. Capt. Meakim has been on the sick list since the week before the adjourn- ment of the Senate Committee, He is Hy in a bad state of health and una, ble to give the attention required in so large a precinct as the Thirtleth, Capt. Thompson, although an older man, Is in vigorous health, and it Is said has been anxious for some time to come down from his exile among the goais and rocks of Tremont, to @ more lively precinct. The West One Hundred and Twenty- fifth street, the East Twenty-second street and the West Thirty-seventh street stations, Supt. Byrnes thinks, have not show: a¥ good results as might be expectec Thuae who take command to-morrow will be told just what is expected of them and warned to avoid the old rut in which thelr predecessors have been moving for so long. A number of other transfers, it is said, were considered by the Board to-day. It Is positively known that Supt. Byrnes has been contemplating numer- ous changes, but it is evident that he | proposes to effect the transfers gradu- ally. The Board, it is sald, will carry out every recommendation the Superin |tendent makes, whatever may be the nature of it The ocevisrices of the last few days have given rive to the opinion about |Volice Headquarters that Byrnes means |to stick to his post. | Capt, Patrick H, Pickett, who was | transferred from the East Euchty-eighth | street station to the Tenderloin precinct in Weet Thirtleth street, by the Pol | Commiesioners on Wednesday last, took | charge of his new command at 8 o'clock | this morning At the same Aour Capt.
