NEW POLICE MANUAL
WILL BE UP TO DATE
All Changes Will Be Included-Rule Defined Re-
gardlng Credit for Arrests

manual the new laws and regulations
that are already in force through gen
eral orders. so as to make Il what it's
name implies. a handbook for the guild
ance of the force.
Will Insure Harmony.
The only suggestion which I have
made TO the committee for their guild
ance." said Major Sylvester. lis that
they shall incorporate rules having
for their object the working in harmony
of the detectives and the precinct men.
This is essential to the proper working
of the Police Department" As a means
to this end the major has instructed the
committee to include a rule. directing
that, when an arrest Is made by a
policeman and a detective. the arrest
shall be credited to the private, and
marked on the book of record as made
for the detective. The major also inti-
mated to the committee that 1t would
be well to indicate In the manual the
fact that the number of arrests made by
member of the force have nothing TO
do with the standing of the man.
There are men," said Major Syives-
ter. who are on quiet beats where
nothing startling occurs, and where
there are few opportunities to make ar
rests. There should be something def
mite in the manual to indicate that this
man has the same credit at headQuart-
ers as the man on turbulent beat who
arrests some one every night. Such a
rule would prevent the abuse some
times met with, where a man. for the
supposed benefit to his standing. will
make unnecessary arrests.
Members of the committee have gone
TO work on the revision with a will,
and expect TO have their labor complet-
ed within thirty days AS soon as they
have finished the new manual will be
published.
The Washington times., 1903-09-07

The metropolitan police force is to
have a new manual for its guidance.
This much was announced two days ago.
at which time Major Sylvester appointed
Chief Clerk Kemp. Captain Gessford, and
Lieutenant Swindells a committee for
the revision of that important docu-
ment.
The manual is the law book and guide
for the members of the force from the
major and superintendent down. The one
now in use was compiled and published
more than five years ago, when John
W. Ross was president of the Board OF
Commissioners, and Major William G..
Moore superintendent of police. Since
that time the rules have been changed
by general orders from time to time. IN
til now they are obsolete. A great many
new rules are now in force, owing to the
passing of new laws and regulations. The
new regulations concerning automobiles
is case In point. and these will doubt
less be incorporated in the new manual
for the guidance of the bicycle squad.
Many Changes Noted.
The old manual even antedates the
present division of the city in the mat
ter of precincts. At that time there
were but nine police precincts. Now
there are ten, with one substation in
operation. and another ready for es-
tablishment as soon as the building can
be completed on the Tenleytown Road.
The list OF patrol boxes contained in the
present manual is deficient by almost
one-half. so many have been put in
since the book was published. The
system of standing watch has been COM
pletely changed, the old dog watch"
having been replaced by the eight-hour
system.
The main work of revision, there
fore. will consist in inserting in the

Mrs. Schaefer arrested and tried on
kidnapping charges. At Greenwich,
Conn.,, when detectives tried to get a
warrant for her, the justice of the
peace ruled that she had committed
no crime, as no suit was pending, and
the mother had quite as much right
to the custody of the children as the
father had.
Her success at Greenwich was the
sixth time Mrs. Schaefer has given
her pursuers the slip, just as they
thought they had her. She has been
accompanied by a man known as
Mr. Franklin" The suspense and

said to intend offering a big reward
for the recovery of the children.
