Chicago. March 1.-rA solution Of
the crime. problem in Chicago that
would shake the police department. to
it's foundation and furnish sociologists]
and reforrners with data concerning
men supposed to be the bone and
sinew of crime preventing forces in
the city, will be offered in a few days.,
when a report concerning the work of
nlnety-three patrolmen, VINO nave
been under surveillance by three New
York detectives. will be submitted to
a reform organization hy which they
We're employed.
The report will show a startling
condition of Decentralization among
men who are employed to protect the
lives and property of residents In To-
calities where crime has been ram
pant, and will reveal laziness, loahng
and saloon haunting where the highest.
efficiency and fidelity to duty are sup
posed to exist.
The detectives will show in their
report that only four out Of ninety
three patrolmen travelled their beats
conscientiously, while the remainder
considered it a nights work to pull
the box once an hour, in order to
save themselves from reprimand at
the station, and then seek a comfort
able place in nearby saloon and
while, away the time drinking, gos-
slipping or taking a, nap!
With these individual cases quoted
as a sample, an inquiry into the full
scope Of the fragrant disregard Of duty
by policemen will be in order, and the
police trial board docket will be over
run with cases for months to come.
The Gotham detectives declare that
the report concerning their Chicago
brethren will shatter the claim that
the police force Of Chicago is in
adequate to cope with crime and
criminals and that it numerically can
not cover every section Of the city.
City officials have had nothing to
do with starting the investigation. 1t

carried on quietly for some time. No

landed anywhere north Of Chemulpho
without a record Of that fact.
The story told here last night Of the
transports seen in the bay makes it
almost a certainty that the Japanese
commanders have concentrated the
bulk of their forces on one or two of
the big islands near the Manchurian
coast
These missing Japanese troops
throw a great light on the visit here
last Saturday Of three Japanese Off
GERS and one sailor, who alleged they
had reached the island of Maio Tao
from one of the ships sunk in Port
Arthur bay.
It is believed here now that these
men came from one Of the many
Islands that are grouped at the en-
trance to the gulf of Pe-chi-li, and
that they had a message to the Jap
anese consul of pressing Importance.
If the bulk Of the army is on these
Islands it is probable they are camped
where there are fair harbors and prac-
tlcal isolation from observation.
Their object is doubtless to cut off
Port Arthur on the land side, and.
after destroying the railroad lard q,
sufficient force to drive the Russians
northward.
When the Japanese transports did
not arrive in the first days OF last week
at Chemulpho, there was rumor that
they had gone up the east coast Of
Korea for a landing near Vladivostok.
but the story lacks confirmation.
