Ii the matter or proper police ar
rangemnts during G.. A. r. encamp-
ment week both Chief Goss and Chief
or Detectives Schweitzer are deter
mined that ST. Paul shall not be behind
other cities, and if the plan which they
nave outlined can be put in operation
the city, citizens and visitors will be
well protected.
1t Is the intention Of Chief Goss to
have IN the neighborhood of $50 special
policemen appointed to serve during the
f1rst ten days in September. For the
past week he has been in correspondence
with the police officials of Louisville
as to the arrangements in that city
during the encampment last year. Ac-
cording to letter received yesterday,
there were employed in Louisville dur
ing the encampment last year $50 spe-
Gals. This was in addition to the reg
ular force OF 2So men and large num-
Der OF detectives from other Cities
Chief Cess, however, Is of the opinion
that 100 specials is all that will be need
ed here, or at the most lot more than
15O His plan is to bring in from the
four sub-stations about half of the reg
ular men on duty at each. These will
be added to the force at the central
station and will swell the number of
regulars to be used for patrol duty to
over 100. Only the older and more ex-
pefienced men will be selected for duty
at the central station, and the greater
part of the specials to be appointed
will be used in connection with those
of the regular force for duty at the
sub-statfons. The chief has also been
in correspondence with the detective
departments of Chicago, st. Louis,
Cleveland, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Mil
Waukee and Louisville, and a detective
from each of these cities will be on
duty in ST. Paul during encampment
week. Mayor Doran yesterday sent a
letter to the O'Connor agency of this
city requesting Mr.. 9O'Connor and eX-
Chief Clark, who are connected with
the agency to confer with him and
Chief Goss regarding the employment
of the agency during the encampment.
In addition to these Fly bobs" a num-
| Der of the best men connected with the
Pinkerton agencies In Boston, Philadel-
phia and New York will also be on
hand to assist In the corraling of the
festive con men, pickpockets and
thieves.
| 1t will be seen from these arrange
ments which have been all but perfect
| ed that the city will be well taken care
| of during the encampment from a pO-
! lice standpoint. The regular detective
force of the city, reinforced by the best
officers from the cities and agencies
mentioned, Will be under the charge Of
Chief of Detectives Schweitzer, and
those of the crooks who have had an
idea that they would be able to reap a
harvest in st. Paul during the encamp-
ment week will be badly fooled Chief
Of Detectives Schweitzer, in speaking
Of the work to be done by the detec-
tfves, said he was certain that with the
force of men which had been selected
every thing would move all right, and
those visiting the city, as well as the
citizens, would be given satisfactory
! protection.
At the next meeting Of the council
| resolution will be introduced asking
for an appropriation of So 1000, which
will be spent in carrying out the plans
formulated by Chief Goss for the prop
/ er policing Of the city during the first
| ten days in September. The idea, Chief
I Goss said, was to have the city set
apart this sum from one of the funds
and not to take 1t from the police de-
partment fund AS 1t is now, the police
fund would be exhausted before the
| year was over, and while he did not
know just what fund would be availa-
bic for the purpose he had been inform
ed by Mayor Doran that Comptroller
McCardy had agreed not to interpose
any objection to the auditing Of the
resolution for the $4,000 needed.
