Three Platoon System Which Has Been Agitated for by the Force for Many Months Goes Into Effect Again on Morning of March 1. The big shake-up in the Police Department that has pen anxiously awaited for several weeks came to-day when Cummissioner McAdoo transferred three inspectors, eleven} NEW OFLEMS uy GANA TREATY captains and two detective-sergeants. From the point of rank of the men transferred this shifting of otcers in the biggest upheaval in the Department that has taken place in recent years, Though Commissioner McAdoo would make no further comment on hic: action than the stereotyped remark, “for the good of the service,” glance over the list of charges shows that the words “a reward for the faithful’ might be applied. Probably the most notable transfer was that of Capt. Burfeind, of the ‘Tenderloin, to Westchester, though it was generally known that Burfeind desired to get up amonz the trees where,hig home is and where he is deeply interested in church work. James W. Cottrell, recently in command of the West Twentieth street station, will replace Capt. Burfeind. ‘Those who haye watched anxioysly the turning of the screws with which wrolssioner McAdoo had been keeping on the “lid” can ffihd but one eh wittooe point in the entire list of transfers. Capt. John ¥ ately her been sont frdm the Oak street station back to his old command in East Fifty- fitrt street, in whith precinct the broad-minded have been groaning ror wooke past under the rigid police restraint. The Inspectors transferred were George F. Titus, from thie Sixth In- rpection District in the Bronx to the Second District, that extends from the Battery to Fourteenth street on the west side. Inspector Elbert 0. Smith was sent from the Second District to the Fifth District, which takes in a large part of Harlem and the Bronx, where there has recently been rumors of graft and pool-room running. Inspector Albertson is sent from this district into the upper Bronx, where Titus has had charge. HARLEM CAPTAINS NOT TOUCHED, It was said at Police Headquarters to-day that Commissioner McAdoo was not gatisticd with Inspector Albertson’s work in Harled, though he did McGlynn or Capt. McNally, who have been work- not remove either Capt. ing under bit. The rank and file of the department considers even more remarkabie H than the transfers of the inspectors the fact that Inspectors Schmittberger | and Walsh were not touched. It was believed that Schmittberger was on the Tammany black list and was to be humiliated. THE CAPTAINS WHO WERE TRANSFERRED, The captains transferred were Henry W. Burfeind, from the Tenderloin to the Westchester station; Robert R. Tighe, from the East Fifty-first street to the Mercer street station: William Hagan, from Mercer street to Staten Island; Cornelius #. Hayes, from Staten Island to the West Worty-seventa street station; Willlam H. Hodgins, from Westchester to Oak street. James W. Cottrell, from the West Twentieth ‘treet station to the. ‘'en- derloin; Martin Handy, from the West Forty-seventh street station to the ‘West Twentieth street station; John J. Lantry, from the Oak street station to the Hast Fifty-first street station; Bernard Gallagher, from the Hamilton avenue station, Brooklyn, to Richmond Hill; Michael Devaney, from Rich- mond Hill to the Butler street station, Brooklyn, and Patrick Murphy, trom the Butler street station to the Hamilton avenue station. f LANTRY LANDS ALL RIGHT. Though Commissioner McAdoo refused to discuss any of his transfers it is generally understood that many of them were made for significant reasons. Among the transfers of Captains made, that of Capt. Lantry, trom the Oak strest station to the Mast Fifty-firet street station, is taken to ve | of considerable significance. Lantry, who is a brother of Commissioner of Correction Francis J. Lan- try, leader of the district In which the East Wifty-first street station is lo- cated, was removed from his command of that district by Commissioner Grecne.. This transfer was made shortly after Capt. Lantry’s men had mace | it more or lees uncomfortable for the millionaires by having his detectives experiment as burglars. Recently the politicians and gamblers have complained that the “Ii has been on so tight in‘ this precinct that {it couldn't be pried off with a! {i crowbar. Cant. Tighe used the same rigor in enforcing the excise law tnat ho has used against the pool-room men, and the complaints among the literal’ minded in the district have been long and loud. It'is therefore deduced by thegwise-ones that Commissioner McAdoo has been urged to take a little pressure off the “lid,” and that cape Lantry is the policeman to do it with wise discretion. COTTRELL IS WELL EQUIPPED. James W. Cottrell, the new commander of the ’enderloin, has had many years’ experience with the class of people he will be walled upon to handle} as Sergeant in charge of the Jefferson Market Court squad. He was made a! Captain by Commissioner Greene, and is regarded in the Department as a man of sterling honesty and a splendid officer, In Mulberry etreet it is said |! that he will sitvon the “lid” and bolt it down. Besidee the transfer of inspectors and captains’the Commissioner shittea two detective-sergeants. Detective-Sergeant Eddie Armstrong was trans- i N ferred from a’sub-station in Staten isiand to the Unton Market station, ana Gétective-Sergeant McGirr. was sent. from the Union Market station to a TYPES OF THE RUSSIAN ARMED FORCES ISDAY.
