POLICE CHIEF PRAISES
WASHINGTON'S FORCE
Colonel Mi11iKen, of Cincinnati,
Getting Pointers in This City.

"A fine department, conducted with
great system" is Col Paul NJ. MILL
ken's brief summary of the local police
department. Colonel Milliken is chief
of the Cincinnati police, and is visiting
Washington to gather new points and
ideas in connection with the work.
AS the guest of Major Sylvester Col
onel MilEken was shown through the
department today, and received a fair
impression of the policing of the Ma
tional Capital. He expressed himself as
marked, incidentally, that it is organic
ed to a great extent like his own staff.
Colonel MilIiken recently visited New
York for the same purpose that brought
him here In comparing the Gotham or
ganization with that of the District, he
said the local system was far ahead in
some respects. Particularly is this
noticeable in Major Sylvester's plan of
arranging the hours of work, he said.
The men have more leisure, and their
mode of living is not so erratic.
Another feature that impressed Col
onel Milliken was the office methods
employed here. The reserve system also
called forth favorable comment from
him. In short he was much pleased with
the entire department, and signified his
intention of using some of the local
methods in his own work
The visiting chief was taken for an
automobile ride through the city &C
companied by Major Sylvester. He was
joined this afternoon by Mayor Fleisch-
mann, of Cincinnati, who will also be
the guest of Major Sylvester.
