Use National Guard Gallery.

In this city the police are permitted to
practice In the rife gallery of the National
Guard OF the District Of Columbia. and to
this Superintendent Sylvester ascribes the
Improvement of the craftsmanship of his
men. Superintendent Sylvester Is at the
head of the association OF chiefs Of police,
which includes the chiefs OF police OF all
the large cities of the country. In discuss
ing this subject Maj. Sylvester said:
TT is important that the guardian OF the
peace should be familiar with the construc-
ton, handling and use of the revolver he is
armed with for self-defense or other emer-
gencies. Aside from the carrying OF the
revolver as weapon of defense, there are
occasions when a mad dog or an injured
animal of some kind must be relieved of its
suffering, when careless handling or a mis-
directed shot might do irreparabe damage
TO life, limb or property. To insure against
accident and In order to secure a proper
use of the weapon by the police OF Wash
lngton We insist upon inspection, instruc-
ton and target practice. Excellent results
have followed this course, and the Wash
ington police force can now count among
its members many who are proficient and
accurate IN revolver practice. All the men,
bers of the force indulge in this exercise
when IL does not interfere with their regu-
lar duties. Last year the period of practice
was short. the members being excused
from further practice after securing a score
of twelve points. A friendly spirit of RI
valry was aroused, however. and the Re-
lumbia, under command of Maj. James E.
Ben of the District of Columbia Militia,
and the police department of San Fran
cisco have INDUCED in several friendly yet
spirited contests with members OF our po-
lice force on the revolver range These
have greatly tended to evoke a proper ap-
probation and respect between the citizen,
the National Guard and the police. and
nave advanced the knowledge OF the latter
on the revolver and its use.
This Improvement Is largely due to the
courtesy of the commanding general of tho
District Militia, who permits the use of the
inside target range in the armory for prac-
tice. In the competition with the Califor-
MIA department the District team was de-
feated by a narrow margin, but the highest
individual score was made by Private Bum
of the local force. The police. after several
shoots with the revolver association, dis
played superiority. and retain the hand
