SIR; While the press Of many Of the large
cities throughout the county are condemnIng
the negligence and Indifference Of their police
authorities In ferretlng out crime unless a re-
ward he promised, the citizens OF the District OF
Columbia have Just reason to feel proud Of the
detective corps AMI the ofnclals OF the MetropOl-
tan police force. A more intelligent, ofiiclent
and worthy body Of men cannot be found any
where. Their ability in checking crime and In
bringing to the bar Of Justice yiOlatOrs OF law
deserves at our hands the highest commenda-
tlOn.
The arrest Of Forester, the prevention Of rob
berry at shuster's store and the speedy arrest Of
the murderers Of the pedder Rogerski and the
drover Hahn are few among the many praise
worthy acts Of our detective corps. Without
promise OF reward, they have ever shown a dill
gence In their Efforts to serve the community.
Poorly paid for their services, we are Of the
opinion that the citizens should proiIer to the
members OF the detective corps some suitable
testimonial, as an evidence OF their appreciation
Of their ability and worth.
Az ON CITIZEN.
[For the benent OF rAn Old Citizen" we would
state that a movement IL now on foot by SOME
Of the best-knOwn business men OF the city TO
offer q material reward to the Officers for their
eficient service In this and previous cases Of
similar character EDl
