EXPERIMENT WITH
THE BICYCLE POLICE [:
New Chief to Test Utility Of
Wheels in His De-
par trnent.

Chief OF Police Louis Werner is bending
every effort toward giving the public
better service through his department.
and Is step by, step. moving toward re-
forms calculated to accomplish this end.
One thing may be said for Major Wer-
ner, and that is that he is chief in deed
as well as in name. 1t is understood that
1T came to his ears that there was some
little muttering among some of the men,
as result OF his new order requiring
them to report at regular intervals, so a
to keep in close touch with their cap
tains. He gave all to understand cour-
teously, but firmly, that he was chief.
and that there should be no criticism OF
any of his orders. upon penalty OF being
promptly reported to the board.
II am doing the best can with what
laaye to work WITH" said Major NNer,
ner, in discussing some of the needs
OF the department with Tlmes-l2ls-
patch man. The chief then went on
10 polnt out the need Of moro men, 8
well as that Of new station house IN
tho First District. and said ne earnestly
hoped the Council would sec III 20 sup
ply both OF these needs.
Major Werner Is O believer In at least
limited number OF bicycle police. 10
this end he has had tho two captains
furnish him the names Of the men VINO
can ride bicycles. and in short Wnile
ha expects to experiment on this inc
IN the eastern and western sections OF
the city. II tho plan appears feasln!e' ne
will then put limited number OF men
on wheels permanently.
