mittee, and his associates have arranged for a
camp fire at the big tent on Judiciary Square

THE POLICING OF THE CITY.
There is to be another meeting Of the COM
mittee on public order tonight, when the re-
commendation that the members of the com
mittee be given police powers will probably be
acted upon. Ii is the idea of some Of the men,
bers that they might be sworn in
as specials and they can then wear
a badge and carry baton and revolver il they
saw fit and do regular police duty. A member
Of the committee who called to zee Chairman
Moore at police headquarters today said
he was there TO see il he could get
his equipments in advance. Maj. Moore
has been kept busy for some dsys
looking after the business of his committee as
well as trying to provide ample protection for
the visitorS Being hampered, as he is, by the
provisions Of the bill which requires the selection
of city detectives from Baltimore. Philadelphia
and New York, the major has discovered a way
TO provide better protection and in addition TO
the officers from the cities mentioned several OF
the best detectives in the country will be on
hand. These, with the 800 special policemen
in addition 10 the regular officers, the major
thinks. will be able to patrol the citv and pro-
tect life and property.
Today Chief Clerk Sylvester swore in the 400
specials at the various poli,e stations and thew
will go on duty SUNDAY morning. The police
lieutenants have selected the men in their re-
spectiye precincts and they say that a much
better class of men has been obtained than ever
before. Among the specials are several good
men who are able to do detective duty.
