wings. The long wing bones are ex-
cecdingiy light. and the whole APP
parntus OF mir cells is extremely de.

sriiiing. II flies nj great height
above the water and from that eleva-
ton pounccs down on fish. especially
prcferring the poor prosecuted flying

Under the throat OF the friggte pell.
can IN large pouch OF n deep red
color. which can he disicnded with nls
at the pleasure OF the bird. The pouch
Is larger apld OF a more brilliant red Ia
the male than Ia his consort. and the
general plumagc OF the female Il not 80
bright M that OF the male.
Although Its swiftness Of wing and
general activity enable Il h. snatch q
lish from the surface OF the water or
r. pcunce upon the dying fish before II
can again seek the protection OF Its
native element. yet Il too often uses
It's powers Ia robbIng other birds Of

On the authority of the president of the
board of police commissioners. Mr.. George
r. Willis, Baltimore is wide-open town,
partment is unable to cope with the sit
uaiicn, This startling condition Of af-
fairs, it is charged, is due to the victory
of the democrats at the elections held last
month. The impression is general among
the police force that return to the old
regime is about to take place, when the
new police board is named, and as a re-
suit members of the force, it is claimed
are afraid to enforce the law against the
saloonkeepers, who permit gambling on
their premises.
Just prior to the election the Id was on
tight in Baltimore, and 1t was lucky
man, indeed, Swho could find an open
house after midnight or on Sundays. The
orders of the marshal Of police were car.
ried out to the letter and the discipline OF
the department was well-nigh perfect.
Hardly had the election returns been
counted and the victory of the new state
and city machine become known before
slot machines and other gambling de-
vices were installed in many OF the down.
town saloons. One sergeant or ponce
stated to The Star correspondent TINS
afternoon that he was cognizant OF the
fact that the gambling laws were peins
violated, but as he had no orders to make
raids he could not proceed. Even when
raids were ordered, the police on ARRIVAL
at the place found that the proprietor had
been tipped off and no evidence could be
secured to warrant even an arrest

What Will Crothers Dop

In view Of the situation existing in the
police department there is much specula-
ton as to the course that Gov.-elect Gro
theirs will pursue when he assumes office
January next. Friends Of the in
coming executive assert that he will meet
the situation by naming board which
will have the confidence of the pubic and
quickly restore discipline in the depart
ment Others claim that great, pressure
will be brought to bear upon Crothers to
name a board that win permit the police
force to be used as political machine by
the city boss, Sonny Mahon. In the
meanwhile the present police board is at
its wits end and openly acknowledges
that it is powerless to remedy existing
evils. The situation is, indeed. serious,
and one which has never before been
paralleled in the history of the city.
