i : 2.000 POLICEMEN TAKE ‘EXAMS’ FOR EIGHT VAC VACANCIES : Half the Force iden ee for Ser- geantcies; Physical Test Rejects 1,000. MORE JOBS PLANNED.

Tho other half of the nuin- ber which passed the physical test wilt be under examination to-morrow and Friday. President Frank Gallagher of the Mu- nicipal Civil Service Commission was in personal charge of the big exam- ination. He and « confidential etenog- rapher, who was locked in a steel cage under guard with the question papers, were the only persons who had exact knowledge of the questions which had been put on the papers for to-day. To- milar subjects. OF BIG MEN WAITED FOR “SCHOOL” TO BEGIN. The examination was set to begin at 10 o'clock. For half an hour before, sturdy looking men, some quietly confi- dent, some worried and some merry and cocky, gathered about the building and chatted in groups along Lexington ave- nue between Forty-second and Forty- dourth streets, The greater number were in ordinary clothes, but there was enough of blue and brass to make the character of the assemblage plain to passeraby, many of whom lingered curiously and swelled the throng. At the foot of the broad stairway leading up to the big main floor was a Mne of young women clerks and sten- ographers, very stern and authoritative, who allowed none but employees of the Commission and policemen who could ghow their shields to go up. Each man meekly pulled back his coat and mhowed | = the shield on his waistcoat, if he waq not in uniform, and said “Thank you, ma‘am," as he went up to face the in- quisition, One big fellow, who had left hia badge pinned to his uniform at home, pleaded Uke a little boy to have his identity by letters in tis pocket and his fire-alarm and police patrol telephone key, but was sternly turned away. ORDEAL INCLUDES LAW AND PO. LICE DUTIES. The questions of the test to-day con- cerned three subjects: Rules and regulations of the depart- ment. Laws and ordinances of the city and Btate, including especially those govern. ing traMfc and autumobile driving. Police adininistration in actual prac- thee. Forty monitors and clerks asatated President Gallagher an distributing and collecting the papers and in patrolling | the long lines of tables to see that there | was no conversation or consultation with concealed notes. The men were allowed from 10 o’clook to 4.80 o'clock to complete their answers, ‘The ranking of the men on the eligtble Met will be published In the City Record In about six weeks.
