Efficiency In the police and fire bu

James T. Cortelyou, next director of

pnblic address since his appointment.
Mr. Cortelyou spoko Inst night nt
A dinner of the Friendly Sons of St.
Patrick in Dooner's Hotel. The new
director was introduced by Judge
Charles B. McMichael, president of the
organization. . , . , , , . ,
At the outset of his address he said
lie had been compelled to exclaim '
have nothing to say" so frequently in
the last few weeks that it lias become
almost automatic with him.
"Shortly after my appointment, lie
continued, "I was reading in the sitting-room
of my home, when my wife
asked me to put some coal on the fur
nace. I replied that I had nothing to
Bay."
Tho chief said that among the hun
dreds of letters and telegrams of con
gratulation he received was one signed
"A member of the police force."
"Ih a note he expresses great satis
faction at my selection, and ndds he
wishes I could hear tho mauy compli
ments that are being paid mo by mem
bers of tho force.
"I will feel very happy," said Mr.
CorMjou, continuing, ''if fit) per rent
of the force experience the same feel
ing ns this man, nnd during my term
of olTico I will do ever) thing In my
power to mnke every man in the police
and tire departments share that fcpllng.
"I want tho police and firemen tn
know I want their co-oneratlon ns well
as the co-operation of every citizen In
making the Department of l'ubllc
Safety as efficient ns possible."
Mr. Cortelyou so far hns refused to
discuss possible appointments in his
department. There are sccrnl candi
dates in tho field for assistant director
of public snfety. Mnjor-clcct Moore
hns made Known lie will call n meet
ing of tho directors-drsignntc in a few
das to discuss tho appointment of as
sistant directors.
PLEA FOR MISSION XMAS
1500 LETTERS FOR SANTA
HELD IN POSTOFFICE HERE
Poor Children Address All Kinds of Appeals to Christmas
Saint and to Firm of Kriss Kringle & Co.
Contributions Asked for Annual Din
ner to Kids on Riverfront
An appeal is being mado throughout
the city bv tho Helping Hand Ilrseuc
MisMon, 721 North Second street, for
contributions of food and money for
the PbrUtmns dlnnir for children along
the riverfront.
Charles II. Toney, superintendent of
the mission, said
"This mission hns no collectors nor
baskets out, but a word will bring our
wagon to jour door. And wo welcome
tos, candj, foods, clothing, money."
The mission conducts ono of the
largest Snndav schools in the city, lis
wclfaro work is extensive.
Tho mail is beginning to pilo up on
Snnta Clans theso days. At the post
oflico they havo more than 1500 letters
which ho can havo nny time.
Somo of tho letters nro addressed to
the old mnn himself, others to the firm
of Kriss Kringle & Co. and a few to
his good wife. The snlutatlons are vn
rious, such as "Dear Fat Snnta,"
"Dear Old Chris" nnd "Dear Snnta
Clam I.ady." .
Most of tho letters wcro written by
Philadelphia children, but a fow of them
como from far away points all over the
country.
The exact nddress of tho Christmas
Saint varies somewhat. Santa is vari
ously addressed in "Ileindeer Land,"
"Arctic lloglons," "North l'ole,"
"Frigid Zones" and "Cold Weather
Points."
One young geographer addressed
Snnta Clans nl "Land of Ico and
Snow, Manayunk."
Somo of tho letters givo n tug at the
heartstrings. A little girl writes the
following- "Dear Snnta Claus: I am
a little girl eight years old and hae i
little brother four years old. I would
like to havo a schoolbag and a doll
coach nnd a pair of gloves.
"Little brother wants n hore nnrt
I wagon and a train of cars. If jou
haxen't whnt we ask for. just bring
whatever you enn, and don't forget us
this vcar.
"My denr mother is sick nnd father
is too poor to get us in thing, so please
answer t Ills letter. And don't forget
tha 2,-jth."
Often Santa Claus does "answer"
when tho postmaster gUcs the letters to
inquiring persons.
Tho letters nro written on all sorts
of pnper, in pencil, ink and on typo
writers. They are stamped and un-.
stamped, nnd some bear east stamps
nnd plctiiics of Snnta Clnus to speed
them over tho HiiiIcmui route.
