FIRST POLICE PRECINCT
GUARDIANS OF PEACE

The protection of the immense wealth of
the business section of the city Of Wash
ington and the preservation of good order
In this center of activities of the District
of Columbia are intrusted to seventy police
officers and twenty crossing officers, con-
nected with the first precinct station of
the metropolitan police. Although 1t has
the smallest population and the smallest
territory of any of the ten precincts in the
city, 1t contains more wealth than any Of
the others, and is generally regarded as the
most important precinct 1t is also regarded
as the precinct which leads to promotion
In general, the first precinct embraces the
section of the city between street south
west, 7th street northwest, X street north
west and the White House grounds. Ac
cording to the police manual its descrip-
ton is as follows: Beginning at the mid
die of the intersection of b street south
and 18th street west; thence north along the
middle of 18th street to the middle of X
street north; thence west along the middle
of street to the middle of 10Th street
west; thence south along the middle of 10Th
street, Vermont avenue and Madison place,
crossing Pennsylvania avenue 10 the mid
die of East Executive avenue; thence south
and west on Executive avenue to the north
center of the ellipse; thence due south by
an ina ginary line to the middle OF street
south; thence east along the middle of B
street south to the point of beginning"
The station house IS on 18th street be-
tween c and D streets.
Embraced within the bounds of the terri
tory thus described are the principal stores
and other business places, office buildings,
hotels and theaters. Here also are found
the principal street railway junction points,
at which thousands of people pass every
day. And within these bounds are held
the exercises m connection with public
demonstrations and celebrations such as
that on the occasion of the return CT Pres
ident Roosevelt several days ago. The Of
fcers of this precinct must bear the re-
sponsibility for preserving order among the
thousands that gather within their territory
every day and on special occasions.
Although the numerical strength of the
precinct numbers ninety, including the
crossing officers, the practical strength
available at any one time will not amount

station until they can be sent to st. Eliza
beth.
Were the Importance of the precinct to
b, measured entirely by the number of ar
rests in 1t the first precinct would easily
teke the laurels of the local department.
According to the last annual report of the
superintendent of police there are about
5000 arrests in the first precinct per year.
This is an average of about 420 per month
or near fourteen per day. No other pre-
circt, it is said, can approach these figures,
the second being the fourth precinct.

REQUIRED QUICK ACTION.
Fire Alarm Summoned Engines t
Electric Lighting Plant.


When the members of the fire depart
ment counted - as registered in their
houses last night, shortly after o'clock,
there was some lively moving about. They
knew that 1t was from the private box in
the big plant of the United States Electric
Lighting Company, at 14th and B streets.
and knew, also. what delay of a few Sec
onds might mean should there be fire in
that building. They declined to take any
chances. 1t was discovered that there was
a blaze in the cellar near where many bar
rels of oil were stored, and had the blaze
reached them there would have been but
little hope of saving the plant. The de-
meant that parts Of the city would have
been in darkness for some nights. IS
Battalion Chief Wagner reached the
building about the time of the arrival OF
No. engine company. and was soon at
work His effort to prevent the destruc-
ton of property came near proving more
disastrous to him than the blaze did to the
building and its contents. He had been in
the cellar beneath the heavy machinery
but a short time before he touched a live
wire and received shock. He drew his
hand from the wire as quickly as possible
and escaped severe shock.
The fire in the building had been caused
by the blowing out OF a fuse. This had
caused a spark to fall upon some cotton
waste and start blaze. From the cotton
waste the blaze reached some clothing in
the room. Smoke filled the dynamo room
for short time, but this soon cleared away
after the windows had been opened. The
destruction of few dollars worth of cot
ton waste was the only damage that was
caused
