THOMAS M. FIELDS HEARD FROM
Information to Effect That He Has
Been in PHILADELPHIA.

1t was stated this afternoon that the au-
thorities have received information to the
effect that Thomas NJ. Fields. accused of
embezzling about $4,000 of the funds of
the Washington Beneficial Endowment AS
ISOLATION, was in Philadelphia, Pa, for sew
eral days after the alleged defalcation was
made public. The information is that, ac-
cording to a young woman whom he was
visiting, Fields showed a revolver and a
number of arsenic powders and remarked
that one the other ought to do the
work. for, he declared, "he would never
be taken alive" .
At the present time, it is further said.
Fields is out of this country, and presuma-
bly, is in Canada.

THE POLICE CHANGES
MAI. SYLVESTER TO CONSIDER
THEM UPON HIS RETURN.
Provision in Appropriation Bill for In
crease in Force-Lieutenant to
Be Appointed.

Major Sylvester, superintendent of police.
who has been in st. Louis attending the
annual meeting of the police chiefs, will
return home late this afternoon He viii
soon take up the question of changes that
are to be made in the department about
the beginning of the fiscal year. Under the
terms of the appropriation bill provision is
made for appointments and promotions.
The NEST important appointment provided
for is that of lieutenant. It was urged
that such an officer was needed to COM
mand precinct to be established in Ana
costa, but Congress made no provision for
an extra number of men for duty in new
precinct. 1t is said that Commissioner
West and the superintendent of police have
conferred about the matter but no definite
conclusion was reached. 1t may be that
a new precinct will not be formed and that
the new lieutenant will be used as night
Inspector .4his question will be determined
this week.
Numerous Applicants.
Applicants for the position are numerous,
and 1t does not matter to them whether the
fortunate man is to be given a precinct or
detailed as night inspector. 1t is a matter
Of much concern to the people of Anacostia
and that part Of the county south and east
of the city, however, for they have been
given to understand that their section is to
be made precinct and that they are to be
given better police protection. They are
urging Sergt. L. B. Anderson for the posi-
ton. Sergt. Anderson has been in charge
of the Anacostia substation for many years,
and, his friends urge, his familiarity with
the people and localities in the county puts
him forward as the most logical aspirant
for the promotion. Among the other SER
geants whose names have been prominently
mentioned in connection with the position
are George II. Williams, Edward Keefe.
Henry Schneider, ]. L. Kramer, Samuel
Murphy, ]. A. Duvall and Daniel Sullivan.
Glass IA Abolished.
After the beginning of the fiscal year
there will be no more class la in the de-
rartment. Congress abolished the $50 class
and provided that those now In that class
are to receive a salary of S5 a month
Twenty members of class l are to receive
promotions which will give them an in
crease OF SIS a month. Provision Is also
made for four mounted men. five sergeants
and two drivers. There will probably be
some activity shown In the matter of the
selection of the sergeants. There are now
seven acting sergeants on the force and five
of them are likely to receive the promotions

HARDY BORDER PLANTS.
The Beautiful Herbaceous Perennials
and Their Proper Care.

1t is a common belief that Il border
once planted is fixture and will keep
on increasing in beauty
To certain extent this is true when
compared with summer bedding and
half hardy plants in general. but if
half the attention and expense were
devoted to the herbaceous borders that
are given to the former the results
would be far more satisfactory.
To obtain the best results from the
hardy border attention should be Civ

require transplanting. Such kinds as

and Canterbury bells give the best re-
suits if treated as biennials unless
planted in places peculiarly adapted
