The shakeup that the police
department h.is experienced sines Chief
Crowley's days came last night, when
Chief of rolioe BJg-gry T\-ent"-£.'ter the
Schmitz retainers «.nd ousted incompe
tent oiTicers right anO left. It "was a
l'£d ni^ht for the remnant of the
j
Fchrsitc-Ruef crowd of time serving
i p-troln-.en. When the- chief sjvung his
k' *flc!£.l ax a score of liecja dropped Into '
the basket. The strokes of the blade

the department will rub his eyes this
morning when he reads his name
among "those present" i«i the hall of
DESCENT OF DI.VAX
Former Chief Dinan "will feel like
an aeronaut who had shot through the
air In a parachute that didn't^open.
- He fell out of the chief's chair not long,
nffo.' but landed in his old job' in the
detective, .department, with the rank
of detective Fgrj?cant. The detectives
are appointed by the chief. Biggy
overlooked l»inan last night In filling'
•the place in which the ex-chief _ha3
rattled around. _J?kian is not even a
detective sergcantnow. He has landed
at the bottom of the ladder, where he
would have remained heretofore but
for the assistance of his former crony,
"Kid" Bullivan, tvho gave Dinan fame
as a detective by "squealing? 1 on petty
offenders, and that of Convict Schmitz,
\u25a0who liked Dkian's^ methods and pave
him the position at the head of the de
partment. Dinan may find himself
toon on a beat In the fog belt, where
not even "Kid" Sullivan will come.
Dinan claims he Is entitled to the rank
of corporal, but there Is doubt that he
5s entitled even sto that. He claims
that he sained it •while chief. The
descent of Dinan was begun from a
Cftiarled height of $4,900 a year, con
tinued to the $1.800 "level of a detective
eergcant and ends at the $1,200 bot
tom drift. Vale Dinan!
Captain 11. H % Colby was found by
Chief Bigfjy to have l>ut one qualifica
tion for the captaincy of detectives and
that was his silence. His place was
made vacant last night and Captain
James Kelly was given the responsible
job. Captain Kelly was taken from the
command of the norm end station.
Colby goes back to the command of
Company G, with a $5© hole in his sal
ary.
XOHMAMiOSES SFXHCURE
Serffeant^ Frank H. Norman, who has
been acting captain in the chiefs of
fice for years, performing? the duties of
secretary, was removed, and will re
port this morning to Captain Duke of
the southern station. There he will
take the place of Lieutenant Shea, who
was promoted. Sergeant John J.
O'Meara was given Gorman's place. '
But the great shaking up. was ad
ministered to the detective department.

under him and Chief Biggy said last

George A. Van Smith
I ~"P. H. McCarthy, president of
I the building trades council, is the
I nev/ boss of the union labor party.
That his new job may be only a
•
vice regency for ths real king, in
retirement at the-county jail, is
only a secondary/ consideration.
I McCarthy wears the new crown.
;Egesidcs -Thomas F.
Eagan by a vote of approximately
.3 to l"in the.contest for the or
ganization 9f:.the union labor.con
vention last night, McCarthy
politely but none the less firmly
declined to permit the convention
ta consider any of the all partisan
propositions variously presented by th«
republican convention, the merchants'
association.' the good government
league and the son partisan league.
The convention organized and tha all
partisan propositions deftly* deposited
in the waste basket, the representa
tive's of the union labor party ad
joufhed to meet at the call of the chair,
who will consult McCarthy before h»
calls.
The union labor convention at Do
lores hall last night was -wholly un
like that (^ its predecessors. In the
golden days of Schmitz and Ruef Chair
man Thomas F. Eagan was the ring
master. At the snap of bis whip the
well trained performers rose to the
hurdles and smashed through the
hoops. The new order of things ar
rived last night. Eagan" furnished the
music for the grand entry.* Then.Me-
Carthy put his back against the center
pole and signaled for the houp-las from
his rough riders.
The programming done by the bis six.
headed by McCarthy and made effective
by the combined strength of Recorder
John Nelson. County Clerk Harry I.
Mulerevy, Sheriff Thomas O'Nell. Dep
uty Sheriff Finn and Fire Commissioner
Mario 80110, was not oJ that hiyhly
finished order that was characteristic
of the Ruef regime. The work "was a
little rougher, but the results were the
same—that is, they were decisive. It
