Standing of the Teams.

Tom Lotus and his badly patched UP
team pulled up their stakes in PhiIadeI-
phia last night after having been defeat
ed yesterday by an overwhelming score
of II to 0. Old Hank Plank worked off an
old score he had against the Washington
team On Friday the Senators did things
to his delivery which he did not like, and
yesterday he begged to be allowed to go
in the box and wallop the Lotus aggre-
cation. His wish was gratifed, and he
made good.
The Senators were completely at sea
when it came to hitting the leather into
unguarded territory. All of the old-time
hitters, who claim to have been reared
in SWattersville, fell down yes erday and
failed to make good In only one inning
did the men representing the Capital of
the Nation get within haaing distance of
the coveted pan That was in the third.
Ely got beauty hit straight down the
foul line. and reached the Initial hassock
on it. He ambled TO the second sack on
an out, and when Ryan got a single Ely
endeavored TO come home and save his
team from being kalsomined. Flick, the
Quakers' right fielder got his digits upon
the leather shortly after il reached terra
irma and fired 1t to the home plate,
where Ely was cut of. He darted back
toward third kopje, but as caught be-
tween the bases. After several moments
hddling he was put out. IN the sixth
Keister got On second hagsock, but that
was the nearest he came 60 scoring the
much needed run.
CarTick was on the rubber for the Sen
ators, and was batted safely sixteen
times Several of these bfngies were two
sackers, and one was q three Dagger He
received bad support, and this, coupled
with his bad form, as result of being
played in tbs field on The three previous
days, gave the game to the Athletics.
Today the Senators expect 20 DC BUSH
ness with the nine men who represent the
Hub on the baseball field. Tom Lotus is
very angry at having lost three straight
games to the PhiIlies. and has declared
that he will aveRge the defeats. Today.
and for the remainder OF the season, it
is to be hoped, he will be able to play
Orth, Townsend, Delehanty, and WoIver-
ton, all of whom he could not put into
commission in Slowtown as q result of the
iniunctions which were asked for

A WOMAN BETRAYED
BY FRENCH HEELS
They Fitted Tracks in Mud and She Is
Charged With Arson.

INDIANAPOLIS, May S.-Miss Hortense
Abromet. young woman who has attained
considerable prominence IN musical and
social circles, was arrested here today on
a charge of arson preferred by Harry 3.
Marsh, of the Sanborn and Marsh EIec-
trical Company.
Mr. and Mrs. Marsh were away from
home from Saturday until this morning,
and on their return found their house had
been entered and table, beds and bedding
scorched with burning paper, the tres
passer having rolled up newspapers and
then held them as they burned under the
various pieces OF furniture.
The Abromets live next door to the
Marsh family and suspicion fell on the
young woman because the two families
are not on friendly terms. The detectives
found that the trespasser had worn a pair
of French-heeied shoes, and a pair CORE
spending TO the tracks in the mud under
Marsh's window was found in Miss Abro-
NETS room, the heels being muddy. The
chair which was placed under the window
to gain an entrance was also found on the
Abromet back porch.
The young woman denies the burning,
but refuses to make any statement.

Of Importance
In Effective Work.

1T is expected that you will give con-
sideration to the matter of adopting uni
form proceedings where fugitives are
wanted The uninteIligent. and maybe
Indifferent. manner IN which a chief some
times communicates with another when in
pursuit Of a criminal has caused delay
and embarrassment which might have
been easily averted had some systematic
mode Of procedure been adopted The
proper name and charge, the description
and whether Indictment or warrant IS out
are features which should be included in
some well-deyised plan.
The question Of a police code is not a
new one, but from time TO time has had
the attention of police departments in
number of the larger cities II has again
been called to my attention, and l have
no hesitancy in saying that il would prove
an advance step IL its general adoption
could be secured.
1T may not be uninteTesting to an
nounce that the telegraph wire has been
made the means Of forwarding photo
graphic copies. That is, within q com
paFatiyely brief interval the picture of
criminal wanted can be transmitted from
one city 10 another. Reference is made
10 this subject In order that IN our organ
lied capacity We may be fully advised as
20 the advancement that is being made in
conYeniences which sooner or later may
materially aid 10 the prevention and de-
lection Of crime.
You are aware that the primary object
Of the police system Is the prevention Of
crime, and the pursuit of offenders, but
it is also subseryient 10 other purposes,
such as the suppression Of mendicancy.
the preservation of order, the enforcing
OF local laws.
While there should be a tenure affixed
to appointments, ii should not be so tight
that an officer better equipped for patrol
duty than to command could not be as
/ signed 70 that work for which he is best
fitted. When an officer becomes so
wrapt up il his own personality that
! he thinks he owns a position, there should

As President he
Extends Welcome to All

"As your president, extend a hearty
welcome to those who are with Us, and
beg to assure them that their presence is
the source Of much qualification to US all;
and urge that they join IL our delibera-
tons and participate IN our proceedings
without undue Formally, forgetting for
the time that they belong to anyone else
than to US and to any other country than
Kentucky, in the United States of Amer

Kentucky is a celebrated common
wealth; she holds prominent position
in the history Of our land: is a blue grass

To Win Recognition
for American Police

in closing, I desire to thank you, one
and oil, for your uniform kindness and
consideration n seeonding the efforts OF
your president IL his aim to build up
this association, and 10 secure that Tecog-
milton for the police forces OF America
which has been lacking in the past When
called upon, you have made prompt and
appropriate response in person or by COM
munication, and any success which may
attend our efforts will be due to your
spontaneous action and to secure a pros
porous future it Is incumbent upon you to
follow the example you have so wisely
set In our business deliberations, and
in partaking OF the hospitality of the city
of Louisville, we should show to them
and the world that we are engaged in a
laudabIe work, which must rebound TO
the good of mankind. II society will ex-
tend to US that consideration and en-
coUragement which the movement de-
serves"

To Eliminate Politics
and Secure Best Men.

We who have had experience advocate
the elimination Of politics from policing,
the selection and continuance Of honest
and conservative men in the public serv-
ice; & tenure Of Office for chiefs and
superiHtendents so long as the laws and
regulations are carefully enforced; a
pension for the widows and children OF
thoss who give up their lives in the
Gauge. and for those who become disabled
therein. This We contend for because we
know &c will be better for all interests.
Municipal control should realize it and
shape legislation TO that end No matter
how small the force. the best results will
follow making it permanent under proper
restrictions. The tendency is In that di-
rectioa, and those intrusted with the
enactment of laws can do nothing better
10 rtheir States and cities than to pro-
coed On those lines.
Good municipal government is the all
absorbing question and, as 7 have stated.
the foundation for il rests on a competent
police organization, 10 continue undis-
tuTbed as long as 1t remains such. This
doctrine should be asserted, and educa-
ton Up to those principles viii surely fol-
low. The official who appreciates that
merit has its reward should be made to
feel that his calling is an honorable one,
and that he can be advanced and con-
tiRued in such by honest endeavor, and
We should design 10 promote the merit
system.
The cause thus sustained by us in uni
B0n also creates and fosters a closer
personal friendship, which prompted me

Cooperation Of Police
More Enthusiastic

There now prevails a more enthusf-
astic cooperation between those charged
with the protection of life and property
than ever before. personal acquaint-
anceship has been brought about by these
meetings. and sentiment has been ere
ated which makes Us feel akin profession
ally. In the business transactions which
have followed there has been manifested
an expeditions and reliable disposition Of
affairs which, through the intelligent
eradication OF those evils which beset So
ciety, has redoundsd TO its welfare. This
being true, efforts along those lines should
be encouraged by those who so oft are
wont TO decTy them No great reform can
be accomplished IN a day; new ideas and
principles cannot be inculcated at G
single sitting The public, in its efforts
to progress, extend trade, acquire wealth.
attain glory and effect great changes does
not as a general thing, hesitate to admit
that upon we'll conducted police institu-
lions depend good order and that freedom
from annoyance which makes success in
those lines Of endeayor possible.

Schools of instruction
to Further Discipline

Another matter Of Importance in this
advanced age is to have the rank and file
Of the police force in thorough accord
with the policy of the head of the de-
paTtment. IN order to accomplish this it
is suggested that you establish and main
tain schools Of instruction-not that the
members OF your command should hear
interpretations Of law and the manual
from members of your staff alone, but
the chief himself should, at stated inter
walls. appear as master and proclaim the
laws and regulations and advance hypo-
thetical questions to the patrolmen from
his standpoint. Let him enlighten them
as to the manner in which they should
discharge their duties and recite TO them
his ideas in the premises, and there will
follow unity of action which will re
feet the policy of the chief Teach hon
esty, courage, promptness, cleanliness,
avoidance of argument, kindness with
hrmnesg, sobriety and care Of health Re
ward good service, even if in a small
way, and condemn inferior work by a
suitable penalty Let your conduct be
an example to your subordinate. Do not
make him fear you, but assist him Of
iciaIly and personally when you can, If
he be deserving He should understand
that he has his part to do, and that you
will always be glad TO meet him half
way Internal friction should not be
coGntenanced, and a disrupting spirit
should be promptly removed.
The tendency of the times Is to &C
complish the end sought through inte1li-
gence, rather than by force Humane ef-
forts that we're never before known are
put forward In the handling OF prisoners,
especially with regard TO Juvenile Offend
ers. We all know that few criminals re-
form. yet there are many instances where
a mind and body diseased should be pre-
scented to the trial judge with that word
for frail humanity which might modify
the treatment of the case The Juvenile
court has in the main proved advan-
tageous 20 society

Physical Care of Men
4 Prime Necessity

LAS to hours of police duty, every COM
munity presents a different situation. The
aim should be to give TO the public the
greatest amount of protection, but at the
same time the requirements should not
be such as to call for any more irregu-
larity in meals and sleep than is neces-
sary- IrreguIarity IN these respects pro-
duces sickness, if not permanent disabiIi-
ties, which burden the pension fund OF re-
