Director of Public Safety F. I,.
Wormser yesterday afternoon appoint
ed Patrolman James Keeney (is lieu
tenant of police In charge of the cen
tral city police precinct at night, to
succeed Louis Gnerlit., reduced to the
ranks.
This was the appointment tendered
to Patrolman Mlchnel Walsh on Mon
day, but refused by him for reasons
which lino been explained to both
Director Wormser and Recorder Cou
ncil, and which havo been accepteil ns
eminently .satisfactory by both of thec
officials. The olllclal order promoting
Patiolman l'Yeney re-nsslgns Patrol
man Walsh to patrol duty "at his own
request," ns the order rends.
Lieutenant Fceney has served on the
police forcp of this city with gre.u
credit for fourteen years, having been
appointed in lS7 by Former Ala;, or
FJzra II. Ripple. He has nlwnys been
a faithful nnd conscientious polieemnn
and has never In his long period of
service had chaiges of any natuie pre
fened against him. He Is especially
popular among his fellow ofllcers and
was the center of an admit ing throng
yesterday afternoon, when his ap
pointment was aiioiiunced.
He took (li.irge of tho central city
precinct last night, and was the re
cipient of congratulations from all
sides.
THEIR VIEWS DIFFER
West Side Councilmen Not of One
Mind on the Question of Paving.
Session of the Commoners.
A difference of opinion exists among
some of tho West Kcranton council
men as to -whether South Main ave
nue, 'between Hampton nnd Oxford
stieets, tdiould he paed just now or
not. This fact wins brought to light
nt last night's meeting of the com
mon council.
Councilman William howls, of the
Fifteenth ward, Intiodttced an ordin
ance providing for rhe pavement of
tho two block. In question, with vit
rified btlck, anil moved that It be te
ferred to committee with Instructions
to lopott foithwlth. Councilman a.
L. Lewis, of tho Fifth ward, objected
vlgoroiifly to this course of action. He
contended that It was not right to
put a pave down on the street 1111111
11 sewer was put in. Ills fight was
useles-s, however, as tho motion pre
vailed. Tho ordinance was paescd on
first and second readings later In the
evening and was refoired to the city
solicitor for an opinion us tio Its le
gality. City Solicitor Watson sent In a com
munication asking whether he t.hotild
appeal from tho award of $700 made
by tho viewers appointed to estimate
tho dam-ago caused by tho widening of
Sctanton moot. It was referred to
tho Judiciary committee, as was also
another communication from the so
licitor nnnounclng that In his opinion
tho claim of A. J. Rogan ng.ilnst the
city could not be successfully con
tested. Tho following resolutions were in
troduced and passed:
Bv .Mr. A. 1.. l.ewn-l'roviiling for an addi
tional clerk in the controller's office.
Bv Mr AUvortli Exonerating the Provldenre
Methoilist rpistepil, Noith Main Avenue Bap

of pavement assessments.
By Mr. Keller Dinrtins the city solldtor to
appeal from tlie ileilsion of lourt in the ia.e of
K. H .Murges against the city.
The following new ordinances weic
introduced:
Be Mr. Alworlh-Provldlnc for the InMallition
of heating apparatus in the North Scranton polite
station.
By Mr f.alv in- providing for the innstriu lion
of sidewalks on certain streets in the Twelfth
ward.
Bv Mr. lt.-.che--l'roviding lor an electric light

The following ordinances were passed
on third and llnal reading: Piovldlng
for a sower system In tho Tenth ward;
piovldlng for Iho grading of streets in
tlie setond ward; providing for three

the nppolnlment of four police sur
geons; providing for gates nt the rail
road dossing on Jackson street In
Keyser valley; providing for a lateral
sewer on Piospeot avenue, providing
ltiles and regulations for the sinking
fund commlssloneis.
During tho consldetation of the sewer
ordinance Mr. Sykes, the new member
fiom tho Thirteenth ward, made his
maiden speech Uo said that he be
lleved tho ordinance should expressly
set forth that the sewer Inspector
should be 11 person understanding
sewer construe lion so ns to prevent the
appointment of an engineer or shoe

POLICE HEAR
WHAT IS WHAT
RECORDER. CONNELL OUTLINES
HIS VIEWS.
Docs Not Propose. That tho Chief
Executive- Shall Suffer for Any
Delinquency of thesFolice Officers,
nnd No Officer Noed Havo Any
Fear of Not Being Upheld in Do
ing His Full Duty Director
Wormser Gives tho Men Somo
Advice.
in n strnlght-from-tho-shoulder talk
to thp members of the pollen forco yes
terday nftcrnoon, Recorder Council
pledged himself to back up every po
liceman who discharges his duty faith
fully. Tho members of tho force gathered
In the r?crdpi''s largp office in the
early part of tho afternoon In full
diess uniform, nnd took chairs which
hnd been piaced In readiness for them.
Tho officers occupied the front rows
nnd tho patrolmen sat behind them.
The recorder emeiged from his private
ofllce about 2.."n o'clock and In respono
to a command from Superintendent
Holding each member present arose
until tho 1 reorder wns seated.
Dliector of Public Safety F. L.
Wormser Introduced the recorder,
briefly explaining that the policemen
had been called together that they
might understand what the policy of
the administration in regard to the po
lice forco Is to be. Recorder Council
ndopted an easy, conversational
method In nddresslng tho assembled
policemen. Ho said:
"I see before mo mnny familiar fnces
and also many strange ones, but I
havo every leason to believe that th"
latter belong to men who are Just as
faithful to their duty as aio tho older
members of the foice with whom 1
am best acquainted. The position of
a policeman, gentlemen. Is a peculiar
one. It does not merely consist, as
many people believe, of walking a
boat and drawing a salary.
"When a citizen takes tho oath of
this city and of this commonwealth to
keep the peace and preserve law nnd
order, he takes upon himself great
duties and most seilous responsibili
ties. Up becomes n member of a con
crete organization and tho Individual
opinion of tho man is last. He has no
right to express one. le only knows
that he must maintain peace and good
order nnd that his duty Is to do and
die and not to reason why.
' The life of a policeman Is not one
that is generally sought nfter by a
serious minded man. who catofully
considers tho dally peril In which a po
liceman Is placed.
"It Is Important for mo. gentlemen,
ns the executive of this city, to bo as
sured that you will stand sliouldor-to-shoulder
nnd side by side with me, ns
well as wwh each other. It Is proper
that the director should have directed
you to bo present today, that both he
nnd 1 may look you In tho eyes nnd
see what manner of men you are.
Till-: INDIVIDUAL POLICHMAN.
"Tho Individual policemanwhat of
him. Is ho (My to walk his beat with
dosed eyes and penult vice nnd crime,
to exist, as long as they nre under
cover'.' No, gentlemen, he Is not. nnd
I want to impress upon you Just ns
forcibly as I can that fiom today the
individual policeman will be held Indi
vidually responsible fur tho suppres
sion of all forms of lio,
"If the Individual policeman permits
gambling hells to bo run wide-open, if
ho allows street walking to become
rampant or if ho permits houses of
ill-fame to flourish, tho record will he
kept against him ami the punWhinent
whU h will follow will bo severe.
"Tho police department Is the ey of
the ndmlnstratlon. Through It tho
ndmlnstratioii Is kept Informed of ex
isting oojitiltlons-, and you must re
member that the administration could
be held up to ridicule through tho ne
glect by you of your sworn duty.
"I want you to remember that the
purposes of this administration nre
not empty talk. Wo are not holding
nut the Idea that this Is nn especially
suporllno nnd virtuous ndminlstratlon.
It has madp, nnd probably will mako,
some mistakes, hut let me Impress
upon you tho fnet that they have been
nnd will to mlstnkos of the head
rather than of tho heart.
"When I leave this office for the
second time, I want to have my hands
nnd my skirts Just ns clean ns they
wore when 1 loft It after my first term
ns mayor. If there Is a policeman In
this city, who, during the npxt two
years, makes It possible that my
hands should bo smirched through no
fault of my own, I will show the pub
lic before I lay down my authority
that tho blame should not rest on me.
"I want you to remember further
that the administration will always be
back of the pillcp department. I want
you to understand that when you are
doing vour duty there Is no power this
side of heaven that can havo you
punished for :t.
"I stand hero ready to defend any
policeman who discharges his duty
faithfully, as long as my pocket-honk
lasts. Come to me, gentlemen, when
you are In trouble. You'll always find
mo ready to help you, if you need help,
and you'll always find that I will treat
you as you deserve to be treated."
The recorder was loudly npplauded,

. DIRECTOR'S SPEECH.
"The bureau of police, to which you
belong, la under the supervision of ths
dliector of public safety. In order to
make my administration a success, it
Is essential that each nnd every offi
cer should perform his full duty. I
assure you that both the recorder and
myself will nt nil times appreciate In
the fullest nieastito duty well per
formed. "I need not enumerate tho duties of
nn officer, for they arc plainly printed
In the rules governing tho force. The
penco of the city nnd thp safPty of
our proplp nro intrusted to our car.-.
I sincerely trust thnt all of us will
fully realize the grave responsibility
wp havp assumed when wo took the,
oath of olllce. The recorder nnd my
self havo fully decided to plnre the
Muireau of police nnd the bureau of
lire on a civil rervlco basis, so that
when an officer performs his duty well
and lives up to tho requirements laid
down for his guidance, ho need not
fear that either politics or any other
Influence can make his removal possi
ble", save his own acts when not per
formed nlong the lines of duty.
"I will state thnt every officer
should he equipped with a copy of the
rules of the bureau of police and
should study them carefully, so that
none of tho ofllcers may plead Ignor
mice of thy requirements ot nn oMl
icr. "I desire to call your nttentlnn to n
matter which I consider of gtcat Im
portance to our department. When
nn accident or n greater or lesser
crime Is reported to an officer on a
brat ns having been committed, It
rhould bo promptly reported by the
patrolman on tho beat to the lieuten
ant In charge of his precinct, by the
the lieutenant to the captain or super
intendent, and by them to tho city
detective. In order to place all of our
machinery In quick motion tn ferret
out crime. I make this statPinent e
peclally for the benefit of the newly
appointed offleets.
"I trust that harmony will ever pre
vail In your ranks, for without har
mony there can bo no good results.
Let us hope that our meetings In the
future may be as pleasant ns this, and
that all such gatherings may prove
beneficial to the department of public
safety."
