TRANSFERRED FROM DEpora
Plain Clothes Men WIN Be Given
Other Duty.

Mai. Sylvester has decided to abandon
the detective service from the railroad de-
pots. the change removing from the de-
tails Detectives o'Dea. herman. Sears and
Barbse. While these men are rated az de-
decttyes they do not receive the additional
compensation that il allowed the meFabers
OF the detective corps detailed at headquar-
tiers. Under the law, It II stated. 1t Is In
cumbent upon the police department to
have members OF the force detailed at the
railroad stations. but the law does not
stipulate that they shall wear plain clothes.
Uniformed policemen have always been
provided for duty about the stations and
the work Of the detectives has not con-
ficted with their duties.
The change noted IL to be made and the
four detectives ordered to street duty, II
II stated. in order to reduce the number OF
details OF active men. There are some
members OF the department who have seen
years OF service and who are not physi-
cally able to do street duty, but who will
be able to spend their time about the rail-
road stations Instead of pensioning such
men they win be kept on duty by being
provided with such easy details.
1t Is believed to be likely that one of the
four detectives mentioned will be selected
to I'LL the vancancy caused by the promo
ton OF Detective Peck.

SET OFF FIRE cRAcKERa
Charge Against Attorney Ambrose
Who rorfeits One Dollar.

William E. Ambrose, the attorney, was
named as defendant In the Police Court to-
day. but. not caring to have himself for a
client, he refused 10 respond when the col
lateral list was called and make legal
fight for the return OF one dollar. The re-
cording of hts name upon the records of
the court called forth several remarks cal
culated to cause merriment. It was alleged
In a sworn complaint against the attorney
that he wiifuuy set on flrecrackers on the
public highway. there being no assertion,
however, that he did 30 for the amusement
OF small boy who was probably unable
to part with a nickel for the purpose Of
becoming patriotic.
II Is related that the small boy Is ma
tive of another country, or that his parents
were born there, and 1t Is doubted il he
had any idea why the hrecrackers were
to be exploded. He discharged them, how
ever, and enjoyed the noise and smoke just
as much as did those who realized that
there was some reason for the noise. It
happened that "the aforesaid hrecrackerS
and the aforesaid william e. Ambrose"
as set out in the legal document, were in
front of 452 Louisiana avenue at the time
the small boy was having q good time. The
noise was heard in the Office Of the chief
OF police.
Maj, Sylvester had prepared an order
prohibiting the use of explosives before In
dependence day and the noise from the
DunCn OF HTeCrackeES IN question was Tiau0
the afternoon of July 8. Chief Clerk Kemp
was called upon to impart information of
the alleged strenuous conduct of the at
torney, and when Detective Phillips was
hurried to the front of the latters ONCE
even the smoke from the little bunch Of
crackers had died away.
Il did It," the attorney confessed. He
failed to appreciate the fact that the affair
was other than a joke. Mr.. Ambrose
smiled and declined an invitation to go to
police headquarters to be interviewed and
arrested.
go get a warrant" was what he said to
the detective in jocular Tone and the lat
ter did as the attorney suggested.
Warrants are issued from the Police Court
on the bare statement that the policeman,
detective or other applicant has reason to
believe that an offense has been committed.
and 1t was in this way that the warrant
was procured for the attorney.
las a matter Of fact" the attorney said
this morning, II did not set of the fire.

a small boy, but don't mind shouldering
the responsibility and giving up the dollar"
The dollar in question will be applied to
the pension OF some retired policeman, and
the friends of the attorney look upon his
conduct being strictly q matter of char
ity.
Everybody has to do something charita-
BILE in this world friend of the attorney
remarked this morning.

to accept the money and turn 1t over to
