THE DETECTIVES FROM OTHER CITIES AND
THE SPECIAL POLICEMEN.
Major Dye stated, in reply to a query of q
STAR reporter to-day as to the efficiency of the
detective forces from other cities on inaugural
tion day, that some of them did good service
ana others did not. In the matter of picking
up or pointing out crooked people from their
own localities these detectives were of great
value, and many OF these sharpers were at
once arrested, run in and thus prevented from
ope rating. So of the special policemen. A few
or them were good men and did their duty
well, but the majority were poor sticks and of
little value to the service
