FIRST GENERAL ORDER.

This afternoon Major Sylvester, chief of
police. issued hissf1rst general order. H
has begun new series. and this order,
which is marked No L. reads:
ut being desirable TO maintain that har-
mony and cooperation among the members
of the force which has existed for many
years, and to remove all possible obsta-
cles to that end. morning reports and rec
ordS will be so made and kept. IN all in
stances. as to name the member Of the
force making the arrest even if made for
another officer.
Entry will be made at the same time
In connection with the complaint giving
name or names of those detailed to work
up the case
1T must be understood that credit will
be given for good work equally with ar
rests.
Care must be taken not to duplicate
morning reports"
Under the new order a true record will
be kept, so that the man actually making
an arrest will have his name 90 recorded.
heretofore In many cases Incorrect rec
ords have been kept. 1t has been the Gus
tom or the department in cases Of police
men making arrests for the dete ctiye office
to put the arrest to the credit Of the detec-
tive who made the investigat ton. Then
too, there has been a practice IN the diff
1erent precincts of men giving cases to
each other. In this way the record has
peen MADE inaccurate, and the new order
Is calculated to stop these practices
Ihe necessity for the order, the officers
say, consists in the fact that when records
are searched years after the arrests are
made and the credit has been given to
some one who did not actually make an
arrest, trouble follows. Copies Of the or
