SYLVESTER RIDES

Mad Gallop in St. Louis Patrol Wagon
to Open Police Chiefs
Meeting

A patrol wagon rushing madly through
the crowded streets of st. Louis. a fleet
ing glimpse of a laughing face within
the curtained space usually occupied by
a prisoner. a proud look on the drivers
face-these were the noticeable fea tures
of the only ride Major Sylvester has
taken in a common police patrol wagon
for many years.
II happened while the major and SUI
perintendent OF the Washington police.
and president OF the International AS
ISOLATION Of Police Chiefs. was I'm st.
Louis at the exposition. He had an en-
gagement TO call the police association
TO order at L, clock at the Administra-
ton Building. but went automobile rid
ing with President Francis.
Some minutes after II. when the couple
had landed down town the major saw
he would be too late for his engagement.
especially as President Francis was not
ready 10 return 10 the fair grounds He
told Ma jor Sylvester to go 10 a police
station near by and secure some convey
ance for the return trip TO the exposi-
ton grounds.
Il turned out that the only vehicle
available was a patrol wagon, and into
this the major sprang. calling to the
driver 10 make the horse put on all
speed. This was done. and through the
St. Louis streets and past the exposi-
ton throngs. the most prominent police
chief in this hemisphere was borne in a
patrol wagon. for all the world Ike a
burglar or vagrant.
The major realizes that this Is a good
story on him. but he explains It as fol-
lows:
Francis. you see. is such a hasty and
impetuous fellow that ne sweeps you
along on his own impulses. He had me
IN his auto and out OF the fair grounds
before I realized where ! was.
His conversation was entertaining
enough 10 do the rest. and ! forgot all
about the police association until I hap
pened to see the hands Of a clock point
ing to 1;29. Then ] had TO hustle, and
the patrol wagon was my only hope.
The other chiefs at St. Louis had a
hearty laugh at their presidents hssty
