Ao HEAD OF POLIGE Newly Named Commissioner to Go to Congress While Work in Police De- partment Will Be Taken Up by For- mer Inspector, the Latest Rumor. | » Street-Cleaning Commissioner Will Un-| doubtedly Be Keahon--Dalton, Dono, hue and Scannel Are Said to Be As-| sured of Remunerative Places. It is rumored in inner Tammany circles that the police situation has | yeen settled so that former Inspector of Police Thomas F, McAvoy will be! Commissioner within a few months. William McAdoo, it is sald, willsre- | main Commissioner only so long as will be required for him to place the Jepartment on the footing desired by Tammany Hall, when he will be| ‘lected to Congress from a district that will be opened to his candidacy by) the resignation of the present incumbent, News that the deal has been consummated comes from an excellent source. It is said that Charles F. Murphy feels that Mr. McAdoo can so !mpress his business principles on the department in a few months that it will be snfe to place the police machinery in the hands of a practical po- liceman like McAvoy, who can ve depended upon to carry out the plans! mapped out for him. M’AVOY WAS AFTER THE PLACE. ‘hat Mr. McAvoy was not disposed to accept the deputy commission- srship is known to be a fact. He is a man of wealth, and has a remuxera- | tive ontracting business. To those who made the offer of the deputy com- nissionersiip to him he said that he could not see his way clear to take a| subordinate place in the department at the sacrifice of his business when ae could see no reason why he-should not be boss of the whole thing: Mr. McAdoo has ambitions to figure in national politics and Tammany would like to have him in its delegation in Congress. ‘A vigorous adminis-| sration of the Police Department for a time sufficient to make plain the de- trmination of the Administration to live up to its ante-election promises would open the way to political preferment. There will be no difficuity in| making a place for Mr. McAdoo in Congress, and with Cockran, Towne and| McAdoo on the Tammany delegation the Wigwam leaders feel that it will be one to make an impression in Washington, CHANGE TO TAKE PLACE ABOUT MAY 1 It {s believed by those who think they are posted that Mr. McAdoo will resign about May 1 and that Mr. McAvoy will then be appointed Police the Mayor, nent of Wiliam Dalton.as Commissioner of Public Works; Matthew Dono) ie as Cmmissionr of Sewers, and George Scannell as Commis- sioner of Hig: ays, will be announced t-morrow by Borough President Ahearn. It has not been decided , iy shall serve as Superintendent of Build- ings. OTHER APPOINTMENTS AGREED UPON. The news was given out at Tammagy Hall to-day that the appointment of Patrick Keahon as Commissioner of Street-Cleaning has been decided upon, It is expected that the Mayor-elect will announce the appointment to-night. Dr. John McGaw Woodbury, it is said, has no chance of reap- pointment. Mr. McClellan appeared to be a trifle worried to-day for the first time since his return to New York from Washington, He admitted that the making up of his slate had been a perplexing problem and that he had ex- perienced difficulty with men who insisted upon having their claims con-| sidered. But, he insinuated, the deliberations are over and the appoint- ments thus far held back are nearly all in readiness to be announced Aderman Timothy P. Sullivan will be Vice-Chairman of the new Board In the apportionment of patronage of that body, Manhattan Borough will get three sergeants-atarms Brooklyn Borough two and Rich- mond and Queens one each, Sheriff Erlanger anngunced this afternoon that he had appointed James) i!
