POLICE REORGANIZATION.
Maj. Sylvester Approves Suggestions
in REYNOLDS Report.


Major Sylvester, superintendent of police,
is pleased with certain recommendations
made by James B. Reynolds 20 President
Roosevelt, respecting the police depart
ment, his recommendations being contained
in the report concerning the proposed
change in the form of the local government.
So far as the report is Intended to affect
the police department, Major Sylvester
gives it his hearty approval. but says moth
ing upon the question of a change in the
form of government
Major Sylvester says:
with seven years experience as presi-
dent of the International Police Association
and over a quarter of a century's connec-
ton with the District police department, I
have been brought to a realization that
the demands of the public police institu-
tons are largely foreign to what they were
ten or fifteen years ago. We must not only
ment, but with sanitary conditions, juvenile
delinauents, street railway traffic and other
subjects.
This department is on record in making
many recommendations for improving the
service. Year after year I have appealed
for numerical strength in the force, but
Congress has failed to recognize the re-
quest. The superintendent of police Is
forced to detail men constantly from one
branch to another in order to maintain
conditions as they are. One section is
nGlpeQ dt the expense OF duOtHer. Inc
superintendent is without sufficient imme-
date help.
I'VE have an excellent detective bureau,
a bureau for the care of the insane, bu-
reau where reports are concentrated, and
many superior facilities, but can make no
further progress because of the lack of
sufficient force. The national bureau of
criminal identification is not District
institution, but by virtue of being president
of the International Association of olice
Chiefs, / have had it maintained here. 1t
is growing because of the Individual sup
port of the police chiefs elsewhere, but the
government should take the matter in hand
and provide for it's maintenance, that the
service may be extended throughout the
world by means of reciprocation.''

COUNTRY TOO GREAT
FOR MONEY PANIC
HARTMAN DECLARES NATION
COULD NOT BE HARD HIT,
FINANCIALLY.

CHICAGO, Oct 1S.-'Money is
like a liquid. The moment you place
an obstruction in front of it, it causes
diminution of the flow
This is one of the new financial
aphorisms to which Edward II. Har-
riman. who came to Chicago to battle
with Stuyvesant Fish, gave utterance
when asked to express his ideas upon
the future of the country.
This obstruction" said the Napo-
leon of the railway world, has been
placed in front of the liquid stream
of money and it has already caused
serious check in its flow. This OBJ
struction is the apprehension which
has run like prairie fire through tho
land and has permeated the minds of
the people This apprehension has
been caused partially, if not entirely,
by the agitation against corporations
in general and railroads in particu-
| lar, and ii will last until the people
awaken to the fact that we must have
a saner comprehension upon these
| important subjects.
Asked if he looked for any serious
effect from the rapidly changing con-
ditions in the financial and railroad
world. Mr.. Hartman replied:
No, | do not I think the country
is too great and too prosperous to
have money panic. | should rather
think that instead of heading toward
panic. we are entering natural
and healthy period of reaction. If
we go through 1t safely. and l. am
certain that we shall do so, we will
sail smoothly and calmly into more
moderate times, when we shall live
slower and surer and saner."
Mr.. Hartman was asked If he real
ly thought that the alleged difficulty
in raising capital was not largely in
the imagination of those who gave
expression to the thought.
by no means he deplied. THE
difficulty in raising money not only
for railroad enterprises, but in all
lines of business, is a real and not a
fancied one. Ask any merchant whom
you should chance to meet why it is
| that he is not carrying such a large
| stock of goods as was his custom, and
! he will reply that it is because of his
| inability to raise sufficient capital, OF
to carry larger stock. There is &
| StHtl dl ldth VI tN'
erywhere in the United States, anG
it is not confined to this country.
Il do not fear any serious result
however, because it is claimed thai
liquidation practically has taker
place on Wall street and people, after
a time, will realize that a large par
of their apprehension is groundles!
and that they will realize. also, wha
is of vitality more Importance, tina
the time has come for cooperation
between the national government ant
the railroads and other corporations
and also between the state govern

OCTOPUS IS PREPARING
ELABORATE DEFENSE

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Counsel for
the Standard Oil company have pre-
pared an elaborate defense in the
governments suit for dissolution of
the oil combine, which, they say, will
be developed in its entirety. The
government attorneys have conclud-
ed taking their testimony. The
Standards lawyers said today that
they had not sought to adduce testi-
m'ony on cross examination of Off
Gals and employees of the so-called
oil trust which would refute the al
legations in the federal complaint,
but had deferred in bringing out
much evidence until later, when it
could be produced continuously and
in bulk. No intimation was given of
the nature of the testimony which
counsel for the trust would bring out.
A telegram was sent to William G.
Rockefeller, assistant treasurer of
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey, last night, by counsel of the
Standard, that the government de-
sired him as witness before ad-
journment is taken on next Friday
for a month
Frank b. Kellogg, of counsel for
the United States, spent the entire
day in placing on the record state
ments submitted by several witnesses
showing the profits made by the
Standard in the different localities of
the country. Statements were pro-
duced showing that the Standard not
only secured information concerning
shipments in the United States, but
in foreign countries.
