POLICE DEPARTMENT MAY USE
AUTOMOBILES DURING FAIR.
Project Is Being Revived by Members
at the Four Courst Who
Favor Change. =

Automobiles may be in use in the Police
and Fire departments Of St Louis during
the Worlds Fair
A plan to purchase several machines has
been discussed by the city authorities hav-
ing such matters in charge, but no definite
action has been taken.
Doctor William R Faulkner, SuperIntend-
ent of the Police Department property. is
not in favor of the automobile, and this is
one reason why it has not been intro
duced in the Police Department before this.
But there are others in the Police Depart
ment who like the automobile idea.
Some time ago the Board of Police Com
missioners discussed a proposition to pur-
chase automobile patrol wagons, but Doctor
Faulkner succeeded in downing the idea.
Now with the return Of summer the idea
has sprung up at the Four Courts again.
Chief kiely and Chief Desmond refused to
discuss 1t. But another police official said:
Il believe ST. Louis should have at least
four automobiles-two for use of patrolmen
in Forest Park. one automobile patrol waS-
on for the Worlds Fair station and another
for headquarters.
Although 1t is not in my department. I
feel that Chief Swingley of the Fire Dc.
partment should have an auto. 1t would
be a great advantage"
The detectives who have been trying to
learn how to ride bicycle favor the auto
mobiles. Said one:
at would be a great scheme. If trouble
should break out in any part of the city we
could get there in a hurry. The machine
and there would be no danger or any per-
son stealing 1t like they could bicycle.
Then we could bring the prisoner into
headquarters in the auto"

Washington, June 15.-It is stated at the
Navy Department that Admiral Evans
movements have no probable connection
with the Manchurian negotiations or the at
titude of Russia.
As a matter of fact. while sundry mission
aries in that section of China were in trouble
some of the smaller naval vessels were
dispatched TO the locality to render such
assistance might be necessary. In addi-
ton to that, the increase of cholera in the
Philippine ports made II expedent to re-
move from that section as many American
naval vessels as could be spared, and they
have been gathered in the more salubrious
Chinese waters.
Admiral Evans also has planned some
squadron maneuvers. which cannot be I'M
dertaken without a specified number of
ships. and the squadron is now gathering
for that purpose.
