DOGS TO HELP POLICE.

Woods, who for the last year has been
studying the police conditions In the
continental cities Of Europe.
Mr.. Woods told his chief that the
dogs had proved most effective in trac-
ing criminals. especially in the outly'
ing districts of Paris, but that dog
with an especially good nose could
follow the tracks of man through
out the crowded streets of a city, If
conditions of weather permitted, when
the footsteps were hours old,
The recent crimes against women
and children. when so many assaults
and murders were committed, decided
Commissioner Bingham to experiment
with the hounds. 1t has been found
that welltrained dog could follow
man in the open or country dis
tricts many hours after the man had
passed, but an experiment was made
in thickly populated city. in which
a hunted man crossed and recrossed
his own tracks through streets hun
dreds of persons were walking con-
stantly.

He was fireman and disappeared

Wallace arrived home the morning

asleep, where she found him. He told
her to "skidoo" the boarders, as he
was rich and would maintain her in
the lap of luxury.
Instead she visited Alderman ID. G..

continue in secret for the present. we
do NOT want orr experiments nam
nored IN any way. / will say, however
hat mn TO this time the experiments
havo been more successful than we
believed possible
The plan of Commissioner bingham
is TO have at least 100 dogs In New
York police department. In statioh
bouses in the criminal districts Two
dogs will be kept constantly, ana In
the other houses one dog VIII be sur
ficient
Dogs will be kept in every borough
ready for action the moment CRIME
has been reported when the criminal
has escaped. In the outlying districts
except in cases where the criminal
takes a vehicle to cover his tracks
OF where there is path OF water,
which will wipe out the traces, II Is
believed that the dogs can hunt down
a man in short time.
In the densely populated city, where
street cars and trains AFFORD oppor'
tunities for man to cover his tracks
from the dogs the dogs Will be used
in identifying suspects. For instance,
a suspect will be lined up with many
other men, just as Is the case now
when an identification Is to be at
tempted. The dog will be made to
smell a garment or some article touch
ed by the suspect, and his training will
he such that he will make straight for
the guilty man.
Great care will be employed In
teaching the dogs In the south, where
bloodhounds are frequently used In
tracking criminals, many OF the dogs
are ferocious when they come upon
their man, and in most instances
the fugitive is compelled to climb a
tree or seek some other refuge to keep
from being torn to pieces.
The best trained dogs, however, will
not attack the man the are tracking.
They will simply keep at his heels.
uttering fierce growls and deep barks
and bowls until he is Joined by men
in pursuit.
Commissioner Bingham is expected
to begin buying hounds at once. and
then after thorough training they will
be assigned to the station houses.
Except when the dogs are tracking
criminal or are being exercised they
will be kept in leash. Trainers will
be selected from among the men in
the department whose duties will be
to see that every dog is in perfect con-
dition.
