been awarded the contract by the Navy
Department to make all movements of sea-
men, naval recruits, marines and their ac-
couterments throughout the United States

TOUR OF INSPECTION,
Major Sylvester Noting Desired
Changes in Station Houses


Maj. Sylvester has been SO busy since he
was appointed chief of police that it was
not until yesterday that he started on !,
tour of inspection to the nine station
houses. He was accompanied yesterday by
Capt. Austin, and the two visited the fifth,
sixth and seventh precincts. Maj. Sylves-
ter was not altogether satisfied with the
three houses, although he found them in
fairly good condition.
The ninth precinct presented the naatest
appearance. 1t is known that this is one of
the best-kept stations in the city At the
fifth precinct the building, for the most
part. is Old, and cannot be made to present
a good appearance. Then, too, the beds IN
use there have been in the department for
many years. They will be thrown out as
soon there is money availa bic for new
ones, Some changes may also be made at
the sixth precinct.
1t is the intention of Mai Sylvester to
have the bedding changed more frequently
during the warm weather and afford the
ren much relief as possible. The ma Tor
also saw the necessity for improvements in
the stations in the way of ARRANGEMENTS
for bathing. There are now in some sta
tions small bath tubs, but these 60 no.
meet the requirements. Shower baths are
much needed by the men. They are pro-
yided in other large Cities and Mai SyI-
vester sees no reason why this department
should not have the benefit of them. Com
missioner Wight, who has charge of police
matters, it is understood, favors the i'm
provements desired by Maj. Sylvester

his father. 1t was because of this idcnti-
hcdtion that the warrant was sworn out

completed, is in the rear of the sixth po-

one of these will be used for the reception
and transportation of drowned persons.
Hereafter the police patrol wagons will
not be used to transport bodies taken
f1cm the river, especially when those

The patrol wagons will be used in emer-
gency cases, such as when fatal accidents
happen or when murders are committed
