RILEY fJ COMMAND Acting Captain Will Not Qui His Post. MAYOR DESIRES RETENTION Officer's Feelings Hurt by Iow Mark Given Him at Kecent Examina tion, but Chief Slover De fends His Action. In spite of the announcement made to his relief Thursday night that he no longer would have command of it. Act ing Police Captain Riley stepped to th front of the platoon at reporting time yesterday, remarking aimpiy: x m nere because I'm here." He was greeted with annlauaa bv the men. who had not come to attention. "It's no secret," said Riley, after the relief had been dismissed to their beats. "I am back at the head of my command at the request of Mayor Rushlight, who sent for me this morning and asked me to continue where I was. ' I shall do so now until my superiors see fit to make a change." Riley's announcement that he Intend ed to quit his command was made be cause he felt that Chief Slover, In giv ing him a rating for efficiency at the recent examination for appointment to a cuntainev- had shown favoritism by giving him only 70 per cent while other candidates were rated at luu ana so. Riley argued that his holding of tn rank of captain under a temporary ap pointment for many months either en titled him to a higher rating or never should have been allowed. - Mayor's Requests Return. "Mavor Rushllerht asked me why hart withdrawn and I told him. He ex pressed surprise that I had been rated so low. In favor of other men of less experience. He said ne naa not tua- cussed the matter with Chief Slover and was surprised at the Chief's action. He asked me to continue in my position and I agreed to do bo. "The ratines I gave the various can didates were my personal expression of the value in which I hold them, saio. Chief Slover yesterday. "I made them mvself. without dictation or sugges tlon from anyone, and based them upon mv knowledge of the officers. I know them better than anyone else, and know their shortcomings. I am not go ing to disparage any of them In order to defend my action In giving' others higher marks. Riley Popular Witt Men. All throueh the day Chief Slover pro fessed to know nothing of Riley's In tended resignation, and assumed that the acting captain would step to the head of his relief as usual, ills conn- dence was shared by no one else, and the question of the day arouna nera nuartera was. who would taie com mand? Riley kept nis pwn counsel w the last minute, and his action was correspondingly dramatic. He is In high favor with the members of his re lief, who privately make no. secret of their disapproval or .tne manner w which the vacant captaincies have been handled during the past year. Np attempt will be made y Mayor Rushiitrht to make permanent appoint ments of captains In the police depart ment before the next regular meeting of the police committee of the Execu tive Board, at which the question of captaincies will come up In the regular order of business, 'i'ms was me an nouncement yesterday or Mayor Kuaa light.
