‘Manchester Has New Chief of Police 
The Manchester Board of Select- 
men held a special meeting Monday, 
April 1, and appointed Frank D. 
Converse chief of police. The depart- 
ment has been without a chief for 
‘the last three months, Sergeant An- 
drews being at the head of the force. 
Mr. Converse has just been retired 
from the New York city force, his 
age being 51 years. He is a native 
of Salem, and his wife is a Beverly 
woman. Though he has not lived in 
this vicinity for the last twenty-two 
years he is nevertheless well known 
about Salem and Beverly. 
For 21 years Mr. Converse was a 
‘member of the famous Broadway 
squad, for the last 12 years being a 
member of the traffic squad and be- 
‘Ing located at 28th street. 
New York officers when they 
reach their 50th year, are placed 
through civil service requirements, 
on the retired list. Mr. Converse is

too active, however, to retire from 
work at this age, and he is econ- 
sidered a good man for the position 
to which he has now been appointed. 
He comes here very highly recom- 
mended as to his ability, his especial 
adaptability to’ handle the officers 
under him, and in general police 
knowledge. 
IIe is almost a giant in stature,— 
standing 6 feet 2 1-2 inches in his 
stocking feet, and weighing 265 
pounds. 
Mr. Converse came to Manchester 
last Monday and was assessed here 
by the assessors. He was therefore 
a citizen of the town when the board 
of selectmen appointed him later in 
the day. He was immediately given 
a week’s leave of absence so that he 
could go to New York and close up 
his business there, so that he could 
return to Manchester next Monday, 
April 8, and take up his active duties 
as head of the department. 
Mr. Converse’s compensation will 
be $100 a month.
