A metropolitan police force may be
all right, but members of the Worces-
ter police force are of the opinion that
some ideas in vogue since the ''reorga-
nization" might be allowed to lay over
until Worcester annexes Boston.
The emergency force, now quartered
at the police central station from to
s a m. are beginning to see things.
Bedbugs big enough to carry lanterns
around with them so as to get a good
camping ground for the night, seem to
be the regular thing.
The first night was one of sleepless-
ness. One officer stated that he re-
tired with his shoes on at 100 and woke
at 4. after a troubled sleep of two and
a half hours, expecting to hear fire
alarm ring in. One who was detailed
on the emergency force, following out
his usual custom, carefully laid away
his wardrobe so that every crease was
on its Job, and his fellow bedmates state
solemnly that it would take him 20
minutes to dress in case of emergency.
The quarters the emergency force Oc-
cupy as a sleeping room was formerly
used by the fire department, and is
fitted up with everything essential to
speed in getting out of bed and land
| ing in the fire wagon on record time.
Among the fixtures is a hole in the
| floor with a sliding pole, and an Ordt-
nary sized man could very easily drop
down into the wagon in second. The
dimension of the hole is four feet
across, and the pole runs through the
centre, giving only two feet of space
for a man to get through. There are a

have spent many long, weary months
travelling about in quest of victims.
Monday morning it was generally
noised around among the bugs and bug
gies that some nice fat policemen were
sleeping in the old beds occupied by
the firemen, and a flank movement was
made, but not in time to get the police
men asleep. Tuesday morning the bugs
were in ambush and as soon as the
guardians of the peace got safely en-
sconced in bed they made a charge and
secured enough rationS to last them
for "a hours. Wednesday and Thurs
day mornings they were reinforced in
large numbers and the onslaught on
the poor, unprotected "coppers" was
terrible, according to their own stories.
Several of them say they were awak-
ened from sleep by a Juggling on the
sheets, and they expected that their
fellow officers were playing pranks on
them. One officer swears that he felt
certain that the bed was charged with
electricity.
Scouts We're thrown out, and after a
search bugs in solid ranks We're discOv-
cred in each bed. The police want new
beds and say they will fool Chief
brennan by staying awake nights and
playing the new game of killing the
bedbug."
1t has sprung into instant popularity
| in the department and promises to de-
throne the much favored game of mug
gins. Strange noises were heard COM
| ing from the dormitory early yesterday
morning, and once in a while a groan
or snore would be distinguished. The
| police do not like to complain but
| they think they are not being used
right.

FISHING IN RESERVOIR,
Metropolitan Water Board viii Issue Specia
Permits.

Southboro, May 4.-The METROPOLITAN
water board is about to issue regula-
tons respecting fishing and boating on
several of the systems whIch comprise,
in part, the metropolitan water supply.
Some time ago stringent reg citations
were adopted which prohibited boating
and fishing in most of the reservations
of the system in Middlesax and WJr-
cester counties. This course aroused ar
indignant protest from those who have
been in the habit of fishing in the
ponds, lakes and streams which have
been absorbed by the metropolitan
water works.
By the recent action on the part OF
the metropolitan board, boating and
fishing will be allowed upon the waters
of lake Cochituate, Whitehall and
Farm ponds. Fishing will be permitted
in the waters of Sandy pond, which
connects with the south branch of tn
Nashua river, above the temporary
dam on the river at Clinton, alJng the
open channel of the Wachusett system,
which connects the aqueduct at North
boro with basin in this town.
Fishing will also be allowed IN the
Sudbury, birmingham and Hopkintor
reservoirs. Permission to FISH in the
channel and reservoirs is subject to
certain limitations and conditions. Per
sons can fish only from q highway, or,
in case a special permit is given, from
places named in the permit. No FISH
food or other matter tending to pollute
the water shall be thrown into the Wa
ter or left upon the shores or other
land belonging to the commonwealth.
Engineers having in charge any of
the above mentioned waters may issue
special permits or Secretary Davenport
of the metropolitan board may do so,
but all such permits shall only be for
stated places and for a specified time.
Persons given these special permits
must exhibit them when called upon
to do so by any representative of the
| hoard
