HARD WORK MAC OFFICER LAWYER ‘Policeman Hibbard Tells How \ He Educated Himself and Won Admission to the Bar | While Doing Patrol Duty. EIGHT YEARS IN UNIFORM.

For eight years he has been @n the police force and Thursday was admitted to the bar by the Appellate —Division of the Supreme Court, the re- fara of hard study and application. In 1892 Hibbard received the degree of WL. B. trom New York University and his year the degree of LL. Mf. from New York Law School. He passed Js bar examinations in June, ‘ “Tt has always been my ambition to bo a lawyer,” said Hibbard, who is a ne-looking, well-built young man of @wenty-nine, ‘and when I was a mere oy I said that some day I would be a {awyer tio matter what happened, but at that time I never thought that I would @et my law education studying my books in east side dives or concert halls @F even in Police Headquarters, : Long Earned Living, “I have earned my own living since I was thirteen years old, so I never had ‘the chance to go to school much. Neariy @1 my education was received out of ‘working hours, and I owe everything ‘to my mother, who has mado it possible for me to stick to my law studies while Bare — on the force, was born in Washington State, bat Now York has been my home since I ‘was a boy. I attended Peekskill Mill- tary Academy preparatory for An- mapolis, but didn’t get the appointment, fo I started out and aid civil engineer- fing all over the United States for sev- @ral years. ‘In 1896 when President Roosevelt was made Police Commissioner I went to him and applied for a place. I saw in this an opportunity for me to study flaw on the side, a chance that was lost to me when I was on the road all the time. “I had seen President Roosevelt, or Commisstoner as he was then, in Wash- freton when I used to carry messages my uncle to him. I was in the firstébatoh appointed. “Then began my work in earnest. Of @ourse I never planned a day ahead, for I couldn't. I just had te take what time fell my way to study. I was pre- paring for the Regents’ examination and this is a severe test. I had to be Bp on geometry, Latin, English and other branches and I used to carry my books with me wherever I went. That fa, T used to tear pages out of my books when they were too heavy themselves. }% was out at the West One Hundredth Btreet station then and I would work gut my geometrical propositions on the Diliboarde. A bright young student from Columbia who was interested tn ‘me used to come down to the etation very night to help me if I had run up against & brick wall. Latin Came Easy. Latin came easy to me for my mother is a fine Latin scholar.” Mrs. Hibbard, whose maiden name was Mary Hamilton, !s a graduate of Troy seminary class of '68, and was a classmate of Mrs, Russell Sage. She {ea member of the Dmma Willard So- tlety, and is a highly educated woman. “Finally by studying every spare min- ate and carrying my books with me always, I wag ready for the Regents examination, which I passed. “It was harder work when I startea In the university and the law school, for of course I had to attend lectures and take my examinatiors. Lectures came from 3.80 tl] 6 in the afternoon, and if ‘the men on the force, the captains and fudges, had not been so good to me I flon't know how I would have man- ged, for over eighteen absences means being dropped. 5 |, ‘Judge Mayer, in Special Sessions, Wand in fact all the Judges, helped me ‘ut. Whenever I would be subpoenaed {nd the time was drawing near for leo- tures I would go up ahd tell them my @tory and they would either hear my @ase at once or put it over till next day. \After a while whenever a Judge would poe me edging up toward him he would kthow what was coming and would nod Wall Fight’ to m "Whenever I\ was put on house duty ft the Sixty-elghth Street Station in the afternoon the men weuld always change qeith me and let me attend my ures, They would let me take the ‘or bathing house beats, which meant a deal in col winter nights.

MUST BE STANCH PARTY MEN This Is an Absolute Essential; If ‘They Also Know How to Catch Moles, 80 Much the Better, but This Is a.Mere Detail. ‘There are mole catchers and assistant mole catchers in the employ of the Park Department of the Bronx. There may shortly be deputy assistant mole catch- ere, too, if Park Superintendent Peters are human beings, not weaz are, moreover, voters, and Republican’ No Democrats or Fuslonists are ployed by Mr. Peters as mole catchers of any degree. He won't have any but Republicans, it appears, for Park Com- missioner Gen, Eustis, who wanted to bé Police Commissioner, {a a stanch Republican and wishes to build the Re- publican fences so that Democratic nae can't burrow under them next te and falls thereafter. In the employment of tman mole catchers, instead of steel traps and strychnine—which oan't vote—the Com- misstoner and his henchman, the Park Buperintendent, are quite agreed on, the deatrability of the two-legged sort, ‘They come under the head of “patronage, while traps and polson would simply be characterized a6 ‘‘supplies.”” In a po- litical sense the ‘supplies’ idea would never do. The Bronx mole-catcher must belong to the Republican organization of the Bronx and be a regular contributor. ‘These are primary essentials. Ho may or may' not be able to catch moles, but this {s a detail of purely secondary im- portance, provided he votes early and takes a decided part in the politics of the district, There is no little “graft” in the job, too, tt appears. Graft comes in the way of moleskin caps and collars, also gloves of moleskin, which are de- clared to be useful and comfortable commodities in winter. | Supt, Peters knows how comfortavie | © moleskin cap is when the toy winds | of the north are sweeping across Van | Cortiandt Park and the Westchester way, where he has his office.
