Serice Bureau is not permitted to expend
any money except in investigating frauds
bounty and back pay matters and IN IN
sarthing ccunterieiters. Members ct the

except in ths discovery and prosecution OF

Chief Brooks thinks thatthe service could
ha made more valuable and It's efficiency
Increased in every way by,extendlng Its
iurisdiction. His idea is that the force
should be given power to take hold OF and
PROSECUTE frauds whenever the government
& concerned; that in short there should be
A consolidation of all the forces OF govern
ment detectives un6er one organization
and one head, IS it is not uncommon for
men in the detective service cfthe govern
ment to cross each others tracks, and their
work Is frequently duplicated. Major
Brooks is confident that the whole detec
i've service OF the government could be
conducted much moFs economically under
the plan he suggests. As it Is there are
revenue agent, customs officials, secret ser
vice men and others engaged IN detective
work, and sometimes several OF them rep
resentipg different branches Uftheyervfce
are traversipg the same field at one time
"The plan suggest" said Chief Brooks,
would compel some reduction and thus
creatssoms vacancies, as fewer men would
be REQUIRED under one efficient orgsniZs
ton. have no doubt it would make
vacancy iu nv own Office, rs q younger
man would probably be needed; but my
resignation is ready whenever those in au-
thority deem it best for me to retire.
Therefore do not make the suggestion of
a single compact organization OF govern
ment police or detectives from any selfish
motives, know that the service could be
vastly improved and that it would cost
great deal less than now. The plan will
be adopted in time, because the good
sense and economy of it are bound TO De
recognized. The secret service Is too much
crsmped at present"

cape Coed Enough For Girls
IN q Pnrlner,s OpInIon.

Cincinnati, May 25.-At the coron.
er's Inquest to-day upon the bodies of
the victims of the recent fire, the
most important testimony was that
of j. j. Sullivan, the senior partner OF
the firm. lie said the occupation of
the fifth floor was of recant date and
until within week or two before the
fire there were but seven girls up
there and he had frequently told
them that in case OF fire they should
escape by the roof. There was a
movable ladder up there to reach the
trap door and the girls were
told of this. They laughed
when he told them of this mode OF
escape and said they could easily get
out that way. He had not spoken to
the recently employed girls about
this escape. but even IL the ladder was
not here the girls could have piled up
hooks and papers and reached the
roof, and his brother who ron to the
fifth story escaped that way In
euother part of the fifth floor was q
sky-light leading to the roof.
The inquest is not yet ended. Some
feeling has been aroused by statements
that the telegraph aud telephone wires
prevented putting up ladders in time to
save life. and at a meeting of social
lists one of the speakers favored giving
the companies thirty days in which TO
put the wires under ground, and Of
fered TO lead crowd to cut down the
poles If IL was not done. Chief Fire
Engineer Nasty says these lives could
not have been saved by ladders even
If there had been no wires on the
street, as death came too soon after
the fire started.
