Important Matters to Be Considered
at the Police Convention.
SOME FACTS AND FIGURES
Preparations for the Entertainment
Of the Delegates.
PLANNING A PROGRAM

One week from next Tuesday about one
hundred members of the National Chiefs
of Police Union will assemble in conven-
ton in the parlors of the Ebbitt House.
This is to be the second annual meeting of
the union, and Maj. Moore, assisted by
Chief Clerk Sylvester, has been actively en-
gagged for some time in making prepara-
lions to receive and entertain the visitors.
Last month Secretary Harvey o. Carr is
sued circular to the chiefs throughout the
country calling attention to the meeting.
In the circular he reminds the chiefs that
it is important, not only to the union, but
also to themselves and their departments.
that they attend the meeting
Since its organization, he says, the
union has grown rapidly. and has as
sumed such proportions that there is not
the slightest reason for doubling that it
has come to stay. The work done, and the
great good accomplished. even in its.
yet, brief career. has been of much value.
and bright, prosperous and useful future
cannot but be anticipated.
Growth of the Organization.
Since the organization Of the national
body continues the secretary, unions
have been formed in many states, and the
good work will be taken up in others. The
state associations have a great power for
good, not only in the way of rendering mu-
tual assistance, but in the matter of
curing the passage and general enforce
ment of legislation of material benefit to
the service and to the public. With these
state bodies, the national union stands
sort of advisory board, where common
interests are allied and where action may
be concerted. Here are assembled the
chiefs of police from every part of the
country and all are welcome. Little can be
said at this time of the great benefits of
personal acquaintance, association. ex-
change of ideas and experiences. and the
ineStimable value to our profession of
hearty cooperation. but that they are APP
preciated can be seen from the rapidly in
creasing membership and the enthusiastic
interest taken.
Important Reports Expected.
AT the coming meeting reports will be
made by the following committees, which
were appointed last year:
To investigate and report upon the best
and latest improvements of jalls prison
cages and disinfectants.
To secure government rates of telegraph
service for all police departments.
To investigate and report in the matter
Of the latest improvements in the police
telephone system and the latest and best
improved humane appliances for restrain
ing refractory prisoners and violent and
insane persons.
To investigate and report upon the latest
improvements of patrol wagon, harness,
arms and equipment used IN the police
service

| IdentiHcat ton of Criminals.
There will be much new business to be
transacted, new problems to discuss and
| situations to meet. Among the important
matters brought forward from the last
| meeting Is that of the proposed establish
ment, in connection with the Department
| of Justice of the United States, of a bu-
reau for the identification of criminals and
| the dissemination of criminal information.
| The adoption of a police telegraph code is
| also to be considered.
| The coming meeting promises to be the
| most important one in every way, and,
| aside from the business meetings, there are
| many other reasons why a large attend
ance should be had. Washington is a his
| toric city, and to the visitors is naturally
Of more patriotic interest than any other
| city in the world. Every moment of leisure
| can be well spent, and, with the hospitality
and welcome they are assured of, there is
| every reason to believe that the social
| features of the gathering will be enjoyable
| indeed.
Probable HOnOrs for Mari. Moore.
| The annual election of officers will also
| take place, and as the meeting is to be held
| here, it is more than likely that Maj Moore
| will be one of the honored ones.
| The present officers of the union are w.
S. Seavey Omaha, president. and Harry o.
Carr, Grand Rapids, Mich, secretary-treas-
|
| are Chiefs Oliver of Athens, Ca; Brennan
| Chicago; Linden, Philadelphia; Harrigan
| St. Louis; Campbell, Brooklyn, and Stark
| weather, Detroit.
| 1t is the intention of Maj. Moore to have
| the committee of citizens appointed to look
| after the matter of entertainment map out
| a program which will be most enjoyed by
| the visitors, who will remain in session
| several days. While the program has not
| yet been completed. it is thought that at
| least two days will be devoted to sight-see-
| ing about the departments and police sta
| tons and headquarters.
| Other Pleasant Entertainments.
| Besides this, the visitors will probably be
| taken to Mount Vernon and treated to a
| plank shad dinner at Marshall Hall.
There will be other means of entertain
| ing the strangers, but just what they are
| to be will not be definitely known until the
| final meeting of the committee This Is
| composed of Maj. Moore, superintendent Of
| police: Chief Clerk Sylvester and E. G.

order calling attention to the frequency
with which courts-martiaI impose the SEN
teuce of discharge from the service with

shall not be carried out until an order
for discharge is received from the bureau

marines Objection Is also made to the
imposition so often of the sentence of IRE
duction to the next inferior rating for
