ceedings Of the police convention that was
held in this city in May last The report
contains the contents Of the papers written
by the delegates and shows everything OF
any consequence that was done by police
chiefs. A statement made by Chief Whit.
aker Of Dayton. Ohio. which IL OF interest
to the members Of every force Of police
officers. appears IN the report. as follows:
Relative to depriving subordinate OF
the part Of any chief OF police, and pos
sibly know as much about that as any
other chief OF police. with all due deference
to my predecessor who unfortunately
would deprive an officer who made dis
covery and an arrest Of the credit that was
really due him. On the other hand. II

prehension of a criminal I give such in
formation to a subordinate, treating the
men in uniform equally with the plain
clothes men. so that all men have an op-
portunity to enjoy the comrnendation Of
the citizens in our community as well as
myself. because I regard that whatever is
done by subordinate in our department
that is to his credit rebounds to the credit
of the head Of the department.
The position taken by Chief Whitaker"
remarked member of the local force to a
Star reporter last night, ''is all right but
he did not go far enough. There is always
more or less contention between the men
in uniform and the plain clothes men,
Sometimes 1t is the result of jealousy and
sometimes it is for other reasons, but
stop should be put to it and then the de-
partment would be much better of. The
cry is usually made that men In plain
clothes rob those in uniform, but the shoe

money in that way than ii does to knock
him down and beat him"
He also said he concluded If he robhed a
man of his own color he would not be Sc
verely punished. His picture is already in
the gallery at police headquarters, and it is
likely the officers will have a new likeness
