ton. For the past six months these
so men have been in constant training
for detectives. Cincinnati has an un-
usually complete rogues' gallery, where
pictures of every noted criminal In the
country and many from abroad are to
be found Cincinnati was also one of
the first American cities to adopt the
Bertillion system of identifying Grim
inals, Chief Deitsch being to-day at the
head of the national Bertillion system.
With these two ample records of rogues'
make-ups to study, the 80 picked men
are to-day experienced detectives at
least in that part of the art of picking
out criminals, which is SO essential at
large gathering. These 50 men
added to the already large pres
ent force were placed under
the direct charge of Chief of De-
tectives Larry Hazen. The force is now
well organized, and at least week be-
fore the encampment they will be sta
toned at all the depots, hotels and on
frequented thoroughfares to intercept
such members of the light-fingered
gentry as may venture to Cincinnati to
ply their nefarious trade. With such
well-organized force of detectives TO

The force of patrolmen will also be
greatly augmented and will include all
private watchmen of the city. These
men are also receiving special weekly
instructions to put them in readiness

to say that at least 1000 patrolmen
and detectives will be on duty to guard
the hundreds of thousands of visitors
expected from all parts of the coun-
try.
In addition TO this general police
protection arrangements have been
made to extend special protection to
the veterans who will occupy free

day for each building. The usual plan
of protecting the public on the day Of
| the big parade by stretching wires on
both sides Of the streets over which
the veterans will march will be fol
lowed in this city. To accomplish al
this requires no little expenditure Of
money and $4,000 has been set aside
by the city authorities for arranging
for these special protective features.
From this $4,000 also will be pro
vided an elaborate system of sanitary
regulations for public comfort. Tht

the health of citizens and visitor
alike, will establish in all sections O
