Old and “Suspected” Officials Were Porced Out Beginning with Com- missioner Partridge’s Regime In Mulberry Street Headquarters. — — © The prediction made by The Evening World more.than a month ago that the Reform Administration would suc- ceed ‘in giving to New York a new Pollée Department, so far as its execu- five heads was concerned, 1s nearing ‘funiliment ince Commissioner Partridge took ‘ep the reins of government laid down by the late Col. Michael C. Murphy, @ per ) of only sixteen months, no less than forty-two new police captains have been (made. ‘Nearly all of the old commanders, the friends of Devery and of Tammany Hall, have either been forced to retire under threats of charges, or becoming uneasy at the turn affairs were tallng, ut anyhow. erie of them were dismissed from the force and are now fighting in courts for reinstatement, but Commissioner Greene, backed by the Corporation Counsel, is satisfied that they will nevar get back. It was the policy of Commissioner Partridge to force out the old and “‘sus- pected” men. As a result there were only two dismissals to his credit dur- ing the twelve months that he was-in office, They were Captains John Rear- @on and Daniel C, Moynihan. Moynthan a Rich Man, Few men were better known In the @epartment than the last named cap- tain, who was credited with owning over three-quarters of a million of rea estate Moynihan was charged among other things with using the members of the uniformed force to paint some of his houses. On his own testimony the Coramissioner abruptly stopped the trial and dismissed him on the instant. Capt. James K. Price was one of the “old timers” driven out by Commis- sioner Partridge without the necessity of placing him on charges. Price is also @ 14 to be worth considerably more than three-quarters of a million, He was the ‘wardman” in the Tenderloin dur- ng the palmy days of that precinct, when gambling-houses were wide open and the badger game first came into prominence. The friendship of Inspector Will!ams, ‘who brought him down to the Mulberry street station when he was made in- mpector, made Price captain. He was in high favor with Chief Devery and, later, was put in command of the Ten- @erloin. There he remained until, as rumor had {t, Mulberry Street was not being “consulted,” and Price was sent to the goats and remained until events ®o shaped themselves under Partridge that he found it advisable to get out. He 18 one of the real estate owners of New York who refuses to rent flats to any families with children, Gave ‘(Red Light” Its Name. Another well-known friend of the last administration was Capt. John Delaney. He was responsible for the lower east side section being designated as the “Red Light’ District. ‘That was be- cause he, while in command of the Wifth street station, raided and ar- rested nearly one hundred hungry men ‘who, on a cold winter's morning four Years ago, had the hardthood to stand ~ THE WORLD: FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 8, 1903.

On the way to the scene of the raid with forty dluecoats he had to pass at least forty “Red iLight” houses, but failed to see any of them. While in command of the East Thirty- fifth street station Delaney was brought | up on serious charges, but was allowed to resign on the plea of his counsel that he was becoming Insane, | Capt. William Thompson, the son-in- law of ex-Coroner Fitzpatrick and a Tammany Hall leader, was allowed to retire just as charges were in course of preparation over the riots in the vicinity of the Hoe factory on the oc- casion of Rabb! Joseph's funeral, Capt. Timothy C. Creedon was allowed to retire while charges against him were pending. Creedon is remembered best fig one of the captains who testified be- fore the Lexow Committee that he had Pald $17,000 for his appointment for pro- motion. He was a marked man among the “faithful” for many years after that and was driven from precinct to pre- cinct along the line of goatville. In later years, however, he apparently got back into favor, and was in command of the East Eighty-eighth street station when he was charged with allowing gambling- houses to exist. Capt, Anthony Woods, who hailed from Long Island City, was one of the oldest captains on the force when he was ordered before the Board of Sur- geons for a physical examination, and then his end cam Why Sheehan Retired, Capt. Michael Sheehan, who had been sent into the Tenderloin to clean it up, made a fallure from a reform stand- polnt, and also thought st wise to resign. This, too, despite the tact that Com- missioner Partridge called him & very good man, against whom no charges were pending, but “too old for’ good police work.” Capt: Anthony Allaire, the dream of whose life was to be made an inspector, was forced to retire before the Board of Police Surgeons at the moment when 259-261 six AVE. 160E 170Sts. our books.

It Was Commissioner Partridge’s {dea that It would be much better for the city to have the men retire, or resign, rather than to dismiss them. The ex- perience of other administrations showed that the distnissed men invariably got back through the ald of the courts. Be- cause of that pollcy it took him exactly twelve months to lose twelve captains and to fill their places with younger men. ‘Commissioner Greene, however, ts of a different frame of mind. Although only four months in office, he has dis- missed five captains, two inspectors— Adam A. Cross and Donald Grant— and forced two other Inspectors and fifteen captains out of the department.
