Police Clerk Sylycstor-"l is about
eight years now since became clerk of
the Police Department, and You can
hardly realize how the responsibilities Of
the position increase year by year. Some
days 1t just keeps me moving to dispose of
all the matters called to my attention. AS
the force is increased IL is very natural
that the duties devulving upon the chief
clerk should also increase, and there is a
very urgent demand for additional cleri-
cal service at Police Headquarters. find

Mr.. Fred. S. iodgson--The holidays

business and pleasure. Our people are
watching the Force bill with great deal
Of interest. We want no such outrageous
law enacted. We are happy, contented
and prosperous, and the law will simply
stir up bad blood. Let the South and the
negro alone and we will work out our own
salvation. The Force bill will not help
matters.
Detective Charles Mahone-This is the
time when those light-fngered relievers
of plcthoric pocketbooks are source of
trouble to the gentlemen in plain
Clothes" But the strict watch that has
been kept on the throngs of holiday
purchasers by the detectives and police
caused the crooks TO seek other fields than
Washington. Up to the present no COM

which shows conclusivcly the very pleas
