Minutes After Crime Has Been Com

"One thing l never could understand is
how the police scattered over the entire
District learn of murder or other crime
in such a short space of time said one
of the uninitiated to a Times reporter
last night.

tinued the speaker, "cr an assault to he
committed and within half an hour the
police in every part of the District, and.
in fact in New York. Philadelphia. Rich-
mond, and all intermediate points, are
on the lookout for the assailant. They
certainly do things in hurry"
There are thousands of others just like
this man, people who have no idea of
the perfected workings CT the telephone
system of the District Police Department
Within short time after one policeman
learns Of some serious crime. every other
policeman is notified Of it.
A policeman hears OF a crime being
committed and he Immediately rushes TO
the place where it was committed, and.
finding that the assailant has escaped.
he goes to the nearest patrol bcx and tele-
tion sergeant at the precinct calls out
the sergeant of the platoon on the street.
who details extra men on the case The
station sergeant then calls up Headquar-
ters over the District private branch ex-
change system. At Headquarters there is
always a man on duty whose sole bust
ness is to take telephone messages and
record them in the daily record.
Chief of Detectives Notified.
The telephone operator at Headquarters,
as soon as he receives message telling
of serious assault. Immediately notifies
the captain of the detective bureau
Right here begins the quick worb Hard
ly time enough TO think OF the case
elapses before the captain tells the opera
tor to notify all precincts in the Dis
trict to keep a watch on all bridges and
important roads leading out of the Dis
trict over which the assailant is likely
to escape.
Description Sent Abroad.
Besides notifying the stations of the
assault the captain calls up on the long
distance telephone all the chiefs of
police OF the various cities around Wash
ington. such as New York, Philadelphia.
Wilmington, Baltimore. Richmond, and
sometimes, in the case Of a murder
of prominent citizen, cities more dis
tant are called up and requested to be
on the lookout for a man, whose descrip-
tion the policeman when he telephoned
to the precinct had gotten from witnesses
of the assault. All the railroads are no.
tilted and they send word to their tele-
graph operators along the road to look
out for anyone riding on any of the
passing trains answering the description
given.
With a system such as the Washington
Police Department has, it is almost an
impossibility for violator OF the law TO
get outside of the city without being
caught.
