CONFERRED WITH
MAJOR SYLVESTER
Colored People Talk on
Crimes of the Race.
INCENTIVE FOR ARRESTS
Replying to Questions, Chief Denies
Patrolmen Are Rewarded on the
Number Made

The Colored Conference Glass of the
Associated Charities yesterday waited
upon Major Sylvester, by a prearranged
appointment, to discuss the status OF
the negro population Of Washington
from police standpoint. and the ques-
ton was discussed for two hours. The
conference was held in Major Sylves-
ter's Office. and twenty-five members
or the class were present.
One pertinent question was put to
Major Sylvester by Attorney James
Cobb, who inquired whether there was
an incentive offered policemen TO make
arrests unnecessarily, by a tendency to
reward individual policemen in accord
%nce with the number of arrests made.
Makes Denials.
Major Sylvester answered that since
ne mad taken control of the police of
the city he had made ii clear to the
men that numbers OF arrests were in no
sense to their credit, but that on the
other hand the effective administration
OF duty on a beat where there were few
occasions TO make an arrest in the
course Of year, would be noticed, and
the man would be promoted as rapidly
as men making frequent arrests. He
laid stress upon the point made by Sec
rotary Weller at the last meeting, that
the primal need was 10 improve the
home life of the negro, in accordance
with the present plans of the Associated
Charities by visiting the alley dwellings
and encouraging thrift and sanitary
conditions. He emphasized the fact that
petty crime has its inspiration in ac-
tual need and physical suffering. a trou-
bic which Ii was peculiarly the prov
ince OF the charitable organizations to
remedy.
